I put my aquarium heaters in 5 gallon buckets with the lid on, and plug them into thermal cubes so they only come on when it's cold out.

Well yes... but then the aquarium heaters probably try to heat the water to 70, instead of 40 like a de-icer.

However, in a nipple waterer, you probably need the water heated up to 70-ish, or the water would freeze in the nipples.

@getaclue how's everything going? Everybody healthy?

At this point, we are all healthy, and doing fine. A little over 2 weeks ago, my oldest daughter got sent home, because of a positive covid test. She, and Dh got sick, but I was ok for a few days. Next, the kids came down with it. By the time I got it, they were all pretty much over it, so were able to care for me.

To be honest, it wasn't all that bad. It was more like a bad winter cold with lots of upper head congestion, which is mostly annoying for a few days, until the head congestion clears, the sneezing stops, and you can breathe out of your nose again.

This is when my grandson's appendix decided to act up. Dd #1 had to fight for him, but they did the surgery instead of sending him home. It's a good thing they did. There was a small perforation in his appendix, and it had already gotten infected. The infection had spread to the area under the appendix too. Of course, this was underneath, where they couldn't see it. A couple days of antibiotics after the surgery, they decided he was doing good, and sent him home. He seems fine now. He's eating, resuming a bit of activity, and he's not in pain.
