My question is how soon before wxman's house is for sale? I'm hearing about all these improvements, but I'm guessing Mrs. Wx will soon say, we need a bigger yard and more room for the kids, new build on the way. (Hope I'm wrong Wx unless that's your plan)

Heat peeps had three vans here. Two working and a third just delivered the furnace. He, of course got stuck on the icy alley hill and spun out sideways and got stuck there. Boxster's pail full of granite chips to the rescue, poultry grit from Carl's Feed store in Manchester. Worse now, light dusting of snow on top of the ice. Felt weird not lending a hand (distancing ****) but did have the supplies to provide.
Neighbor got spun out in same spot with his new spendy luxury sporty car. I just watched that one.

Yesterday was a university holiday. Really? I was at my work from home desk in the dining room almost the entire time. It was like I couldn't make myself leave. I do feel better with several things I got done yesterday. However, I think I have a problem with not being able to stay away from work stuff.

Smatchet. Rhymes with "scratch it."
This week's theme is words to describe people. You'll enjoy the meaning.

Well, it will most likely take a couple of hours to get the old pulled out and the new put in so hopefully you'll be getting heat by this afternoonHeat peeps had three vans here.

Bath times are extra special with baby boys. I called it the "fountain of youth".
Hamill & James Earl Jones were both Star Wars...unless you are moving the rivalry away from fandom/geekdom to light vs dark forces?
I've been in Minnesota 40 years so I have winter gear, lots of winter gear. Entire tote full of gloves, scarves, stocking caps, face masks, mittens, ski masks etc. Plus two WWII vintage sheepskins Luftwaffe winter hats (hella warm these are). Three parkas** for varying degrees of cold, one light packable parka and a ski jacket. Vintage Sorel boots and LL Bean duck shoes. Five shovels. Two snowblowers. Two roof rakes*. Both granite chips and sand for slippery wheels time.
* Couldn't find mine one year. Thought I'd loaned it to someone. Bought another. Later found original in the attic. Rarely use these other than the pole extension to knock ice/snow of my columnar white pine when it's turning them into weeping pines.
** The original Eddie Bauer mother of all parkas for The Day After Tomorrow winter apocalypse hasn't been out of the closet in years. Too warm these days.

We old dudes envy the "water" pressure they have.

Us old guys now refer to it as "The Dance of the 500 Drops".
I always see this SUV parked along a road in Somerset when I go to the gym in the morning. Has dealer plates on it. No other cars are parked along the road except for this one. Snow we got last week the snowplow just pushed the snow around it. Since it turned colder and it all froze around it. I see that the person got it out finally after some digging/chopping The funny part is they just backed it into the same spot again. The street is clear except for where the person has is car parked.
I just don't get it. I just don't see this as some sort of rivalry. Maybe geeks do.
