Truck
Today was supposed to be slammingly efficient. I took the truck, as part of what needed doing, to test my cardiac health. Yes, that means fill its almost empty gas tank! Regular gas is well over $4 a gallon. The tank is 40ish gallons. Do the math đ±đ. The truck had other ideas⊠After leaving […]
Warming TrendâŠ
It looks like we should be out of the low 30âs tomorrow. It is a weird thing to look forward to high 30âs⊠There were threats of freezing rain and snow at different times today, but none of it happened. Just light, and steady rain. The Island, on the other hand, is inundated with snow. […]
Leak
We lost a pipe in on the Island. The one that feeds the faucet on the house exterior. A constellation of things probably caused it, because we did so much right to prevent it! I have the fridge turned off. The fridge snuggles up to the wall this pipe resides in. It takes a certain […]
Itâs Here
We didnâtâ break 19Âș today. The morning started south of 15Âș. The up side is that the day was sunny and clear. The down side, temps in the teens aside đ, is it was difficult to stay warm. The heat pump struggled, prompting my DH to put a little electric heater under his desk, and […]
Itâs Cominâ!
The anticipated weather I kept mentioning while on the island arrives tomorrow. The unknown element is whether weâre going to get Wet, Very Cold & Snow, or Dry, Much, Much Colder and Sunny. My favorite weather dude posts at least three times a day, keeping us all on the edge of our seats. There are […]
New Yearâs 2024 Island Trip – Day 7
Getting to bed earlier allows one to get up, without pain, earlier! I was up and on it early enough to catch the 10:30 boat, rather than the 12:10. My exit included tossing 30-pieces of firewood into the back of the truck, 25 of which will need splitting. That is my DHâs job! I went […]
New Yearâs 2024 Island Trip – Day 6
Today was much lighter-weight from a task point of view, at least on paper. A bunch of things got done, including: My only regret this trip is that I didnât create any time to⊠create. The only time I stopped was when my body demanded it. Itâs an easy excuse to make that new tenants […]
New Yearâs 2024 Island Trip – Day 5
In no particular order I: At 2:30, with my back squawking at me, I called it quits. Just as I settled in with a snack and mineral water, I remembered I needed to get cash for our AN. Off to town I went, then to their place, and then back to the couch, where I […]
Shelf – II
A picture is worth a thousand words, so I will write less, and post pics đ. My DH and I deftly, carefully maneuvered the behemoth into my study, maneuvered it upright without thwacking any lights (and taking advantage of the skylight recess). I am thrilled to have my mamaâs bookcase in my office space. It […]
New Yearâs 2024 Island Trip – Day 4
We didnât do a whole lot before leaving for some lunch in town prior to my DH catching two ferries. More on that⊠It was (and still is) raining to the point where I was kinda offended. A lot of what I wanted to do was outside and/or involved ladders. You will never find me […]
