BYC Café

Good morning and thanks for the coffee!
7F, sunny, and warming back up to 25F. That works for me for sure. Breezy and snow are now the words they are using too.
Someone called about firewood and I wonder how many water pipes had issues over the last couple of days. I know of one pipe leak in a restaurant being refurbished. It seems that a lot of the water mains to the houses rely on a good amount of snow for insulation during these wicked cold snaps. There is not enough snow to insulate anything even at 10,000 feet right now. Maybe in a couple of weeks, I will be able to join the sore shoulder club. Two competitions this week and then it is "hunker down and wait for Regionals" time, probably about when it starts to really snow here too. We will see!
Enjoy the day and be at peace! :hugs
Holy moly, Margie. You're way up in the clouds! Is that your home elevation?
 
I was so happy to have everyone's taxes done last week. I got a reject notice on mine. Why? "Your AGI doesn't match your 2019 return." Why? The IRS still hasn't processed it! :mad:
I filed my 2019 return on 3/22/20.
Never got my refund.
Never got my stimulus payments.
Couldn't sign up for my health insurance on the marketplace because their records stated I never filled my 2019 return.
This was in November.
I had to record an affidavit that I in fact DID file my 2019 return. I even got a letter from the IRS stating that I hosed up my APTC consolidation and they wanted that corrected. I sent the correction in immediately and never heard back.
Some yahoo has completely dropped the ball on my return. When I called the IRS when I couldn't qualify for the APTC for my health insurance, whomever I spoke with saw the record requesting correction on consolidating my APTC for the previous year so they obviously got my return. They just haven't PROCESSED the return. Now it's come back to chomp me in the backside again.
I just tried calling the IRS and got a recording that the office is currently closed. You've got to be kidding? Government workers get the stupidest days off. Maybe if you worked the way the rest of the country did, my bleeping bleepity bleeping return would be PROCESSED BY NOW!!! :he
Yikes, DL. Too bad we couldn't fine the IRS when they screw up, eh?

Sorry to read about Mowgli. No words. :( :hugs
 
good morning Cafe.
Thanks for the coffee Tonya. We've been getting reports of the awful weather in the USA - sounds horrendous. Do you have power where you are? Apparently millions don't :(
We do for now! That is the biggest advantage of having a wood stove for heat: we always have heat as long as we have wood and a way to heat and cook food. In these temps, we could store food in the garage if needed. We'd be just fine in the event of a power failure.
 
We've got a nice thick coating of sleet and ice out there and it's raining at 34F and freezing on top of it. Yuk!
UHG!

Just snow here @7°...another 3-4-5" overnight...was blowing so could be deeper in places, like the coop path with it's ~18" sides probably gathered a bunch. :rolleyes:
Good news is up outta the single digits W-Th-F and I got the thrower housing leveled.
Bad news is thaw temps next week, better get some snow moved before then.
 
Good afternoon everyone!

Last evening and throughout the night we had another storm with lots of wet snow and right now the thawing has begun: slip and slippery wherever you tread :duc A pain to get it off the aviaries too.

I want spring, now!!
The Princess wore me down. Another of her nicknames is 'The Bulldog'.
And what kind of nickname does she have for you? :p
