    bogieb your trash car story reminded me of another vehicle while working at the same dealership. Must've been the people in that area. I swear nuke power plants affect people in unknown ways. Anyways..... Lol. It was a Dodge neon, 4 door. Only room inside was for the driver. Everything was trash piled up to the bottom of the windows. Not clothes or other junk but literally just trash. At least they were "safe" and didn't block their view. Lol. Needless to say, I know what kinda stink you're talking about. Between that and minivans/suvs that kids surely "rule the roost" inside judging by all the crumbs and spilled drinks, most definitely doesn't make me miss that profession.

    :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol: - that is SOOOO nothing compared to what I went thru. I gotta admit, at least my neighbor didn't smoke - but the smell from the mold and unwahsed clothes/body were enough to make up for for that (not in a good way).

    Point taken, but I'd rather not touch either car if I could help it...

    This tundra has 332K miles. Talk about clean.

    The temps have finally gotten cold enough have the vapor fire burn 24/7! Inside temp was 71 this morning with a window open all night!

    This baloney of having to cold start it twice a day is for the birds.

    Used the snowblower first time this season. 6.5 inches overnight. Not a blockbuster, but enough. So far this winter I've used my leaf blower for blowing snow more than anything else. Topped off the bird feeders and cleared some ground so the ground eaters have some place to eat too.

    I got 6 inches.

    Of snow

    on the ground

    Used the snowblower that I bought three years ago and never used, for the third storm this season.
    Hoping "things happen in threes" works with snow storms.

    My version of TT will not allow me to enter my 1099-R's "available soon" is the only explanation. First time I've run across this one. I've been checking updates but so far nothing.

    I was looking at their website and it looked familiar. I did a family members taxes on their site last year and it was easy, came out perfect and the cost was very reasonable.

    I will do the family member again this year and probably mine, next year.

    I've went to 3 small/medium sized loads per day just over the weekend here...it's keeping up so for, but I think I might need need to turn the burn rate up and go to medium or medium large loads for the next day or so here.
    Fortunately we don't get much truly cold weather down here so it stays on low burn rate 99% of the time, but I know others with a much larger heat load can start to fight coaling issues when things get brutal. Sounds like you don't have that issue!

    I didn’t have a dog in the fight (unless you factor Miami as a ACC school) but was really happy for Indiana.Cignetti built one heck of a program! Will be interesting to see if the momentum carries forward in the ensuing years :) Was one of the best championship games I can remember too!
