Good morning ness. It’s raining and cold here too. Did y’all get your water back? I hope so…

 

[ness]

Oh yes, the water was back on Sat. yeha. No more luging water into the house. You ready for the cold weather this weekend? I'll see if TJ will fire the woodstove up instead of electric heat.

I miss a wood stove. So much cheaper and warmer than electric. We have a gas fireplace which I only run if we have guests. It looks pretty but it really isn’t great for heat. I’m thinking about removing those gas logs and turning it back into a regular fireplace. I turn the pilot light off most of the time as our gas bill is so high and I keep thinking that little flame is like burning cash.
glad you got your water fixed

 

[boo]

morning folks...chilly out again...

A fireplace with a metal liner that allows you to circulate air around it, and a glass door with the combustion air coming from outside would heat more of your house and draw less heated air out of the room through the chimney.

I love my gas fireplace. Most of the time I shut down the furnace and just use the fireplace. Back of the house does get chilly though.

31 here and supposed to get up to 39. Sun peeked its head out for 10 minutes or so. Scared the hell outta me. Thought we'd got nuked! Ain't seen it for so long I forgot what it looked like.

My Old Hen is one in a million. She's been a rock during all this crap. She's talking to the med folks on the phone as I type. I asked her to. She knows what's going on. I don't. She dispenses the meds to me like an RN and keeps track of everything. She does the blood pressure thingie and the oxygen thingie a few times a day.
Don't know what I'd do without her, and I don't want to find out!

 

[SubmarineGirl]

So glad to her you’ve got a keeper and a nurse too that’s a plus

 

[Hippie420]

She's just a retired shop rat, but she's the best nurse I've ever had.

Mom was pretty good at fixing me up when I was a kid, but she's gone now. I did have the opportunity to repay her kind care when she got older. Been three years and three months, and I still miss her.

Well... It's 77F right now. I am glad winter is over.

 

[Hippie420]

I can always count on you to throw a little salt in the wound.

This weekend it's going down in low 30. I'm ready for it. I know that last chill was the coolest winter weather I've ever had.
