Well it's now -4, 20 minutes after sunrise. With freezing fog I bet there's a lot of frostbitten combs.
Normal temperature is 24 and 40
I guess if it has to be way colder than normal it's better to be in a warmer winter month

For your area that's NUTS! Stay warm and don't over do it. Try to keep Bob from overdoing it too.

While we have had very little snow here March will likely deliver.....feet. I do not want to shovel a few inches. I am sure FEET will be gag worthy.

Feet would be bad, very bad. But do you need the water from snow?

I am much better off than those poor folks in texas...

Feet is a bummer but yes we always need the water from the snow. Without spring run off they reduce our water pressure, restrict water usage and fine big time if we get caught using outside approved times/days. It makes a garden harder to do.

I heard several years ago that in Colorado you are not allowed to catch rain water. Is this true? Seems a silly thing to me to not allow a rain barrel.




Good morning everybody
Both does are due today Im trying not to get too excited, but cant help it . I’ll keep y'all posted.

As ridiculous as it is it is true. Even if it weren't true and we could there really isn't enough rainfall here normally to even bother trying to catch any.

So because nothing gets to be easy......

Dishwasher (tardy scheduled for 12th got it the 16th) ok I can live with that.
Installing was a pita since $20 cord was not a 90° plug a different one had to be purchased.
The T going to the dishwasher leaked. Oh goodie. New one of those after second parts run.
The water shut off valve developed a lovely problem....looks like a washer inside it was shot and sent particles through the line (and I hope not destroying my faucet)
Dishwasher was a fancy dish drainer until we replaced the shut off valve last night.
Still low pressure on the hot side.

Wish me luck. I am going to take the supply line off the faucet and hope it is just the supply line full of shrapnel.
I really don't want to have to buy ANOTHER new faucet. This one is only about a year old.

With the high calcium content of my water I feel your pain. The spigot in the shower still isn’t quite right. It comes out ok but pulling the diverter to make it come out at the shower head is a pita. It doesn’t divert all the way. When I first moved in it didn’t work at all. Only came out at the shower head. Some serious muscle and a flat screwdriver broke it loose. I was going to replace it but how it’s connected is a weird pipe configuration of male to female to male again. And I of course can’t get the pieces off the old one to reuse. I soaked it in serious chemicals and got maybe 25% better.
Water softeners don’t really help with calcium either.

I’m without a car for the weekend. It’s at the shop for hopefully a simple fix. It started not wanting to start. Only the first start up of the day. Took 2-3 tries then was fine. Chalked it up to the cold but when it did when we hit 30 I had the battery tested. Came back as ”good, needs charged.” So alternator is next thing to test. It comes back fine. The battery is under warranty so they tell me if it keeps doing it come back they will replace it. I didn’t start my car for a whole day then the next 2 days it started no problem. I thought I was out of the woods. Nope! Goes back to not wanting to start. So I get the battery changed out. Still doing it. I call my mechanic for troubleshooting.
The odd part of it only doing it for first starts of the day is what is throwing everyone. If it were the starter you would think it would do it randomly. The battery saying it needs charged brought up a parasitic drain of some sort. But I’ve looked at everything that could cause that and found nothing. I also haven’t changed any habits. Last is the neutral safety switch. If the car doesn’t think it’s in park or neutral (even if it is) it won’t start.
Well yesterday it didn’t want to start for me and I wasn’t home. That was the end of it for me. I have way to many stops per night while working to risk that it randomly won’t start. Or refuse to start. (Had that happen with the car before this one. Had to leave it at work overnight and get it towed.) So I took the night off because sadly loosing that money was cheaper than if I had to tow it.
I’m a little worried I haven’t heard anything yet but I’m glad he was willing to try a few tests to figure out what’s wrong. He could have just charged me for a new starter only to find out that’s not what it is.

Luckily my water fix was much easier than what you are dealing with.

That the car gets sorted out without breaking the bank.
