I leave the kitchen sink trickling from around January until April. It's cheap insurance. Have a nice Plumbers Crack Day!

Hugs, Devlyn

Actually this one was a baseboard which malfunctioned due to a defective zone valve. So I'm replacing both.

The drains in my cellar are right against the granite block foundation,  I have more trouble keeping them clear. I can get water in, I just can't get rid of it sometimes.

  The Alberta Clipper came by my area and left. 3 days of snow, but only 8" out of the expected 13" fell with half melting on the pavement. I watched a lot of YouTube videos this weekend and the same Roto-Rooter commercials about freezing pipes came up. For those in the East, a severe plumbers warning is in effect!

Gah I hate plumbing! I ran out of nitrile gloves so I used vinyl I usually use for food prep (I dont like my hands smelling like garlic or meat for days). BIG mistake! Now my hands are all dirty with solder flux, copper oxide and other assorted crud, below my nails too, ugh!

Anyway it's fixed. Just had to let the bread dissolve.

This morning it was minus double digits in most parts of the county. I saw -8.5 before I left the house at 6:30. Kiddies still have school though, but a few are closed.

"So help me God, when I get out of here here I'm going to peck that groundhog right in the head."

Heard on the radio that another is due to hit me Sunday night.

More heating system woes. One zone was stuck open. New zone valve needed. I shut off that zone at the boiler for now.

Schools are on 2 hour delay today. Just dropped ours off. The principal was her usual self lecturing the students. School buses have tons of problems around here and one of my friends is pissed because her son's bus didn't come after she waited more than an hour.

When is this winter/snow finally going to end?? I just hope that there is actually a decent spring and not one of those "everything is frozen on the ground" until June kind of years. Even my huskies are having a hard time getting around in the yard these days and they're snow dogs

More of this stupid annoying snow today, and I'm late to pick up my children.

I really wasn't made for winter. I want to get out of this stupid state so badly.

Would you believe I moved to New York to get away from snow? Where I grew up we would get a foot or more per week when I was growing up. It reached 40° below and in the summer 120°. (The 120° was fahrenheit)

Time to move again.

Where did you live? Colorado or something? Vermont?

Yes, I do need to move. I hear Texas is nice. Probably DFW or Austin. Austin has a whole queer scene going on. I would fit right in?

Austin or South FL Sounds nice. Lake Worth, FL also has a nice Queer scene (and my supportive parents live there.) I'm getting really tired of this weather.

Just got home not too long ago, fired up the wood stove. House is 70 from gas heat but the wood stove saves me money and makes it a nice and toasty 80.

Sydney, if you move I'll come visit.

Michigan. Lake effect snow is horrendous.

It's bad enough my water keeps freezing despite my best effort to keep it from doing so, but it's even worse to have the pipes to my water heater frozen while the cold water runs fine. It's like the weather is taunting me when all winter I've just been wanting a hot shower.

That said, I'm going to miss winter when it finally passes. It's truly my favorite season despite all of the crap that comes along with it.

 It's been warm for the past couple of days. I think it almost hit 60 today!

Y'all are gonna pay for that later this week too.

Guess who's back,
tell a friend
Geese are back,
Geese are back,
Geese are back,
Geese are back
Geese are back
Geese are back...na na na nah!

Sigh....it's snowing. I know we were like two inches away from the stupidest stupid that ever stupided or something like that, and now I think we're there.
