Hallelujah, a plumbing job that went well. I replaced our malfunctioning toilet yesterday and all went well. Perhaps it was because I had such excellent assistance.
I wrote the above this morning and as I was writing it our Internet service quit. It is now late afternoon. The outage covers more than just us. The service is supposed to be restored by 10 AM tomorrow. In the mean time we went to Jefferson City for lunch and Kathy bought a few groceries. It was the first time she was off our property since she came down with her cold. I am currently accessing the Internet through my phone. It is the first time I've done it since changing phones and cell service providers. The speed is slow, but at least I've got a connection.
I cut down a couple of small cedar trees 5" & 7" trunks) this morning and drug them out back next to a burn pile. I will cut them up back there. I wanted to get them out of the way before I cut down the dead oak tree that is in the middle of the "island" between the house and the shed. When it comes down it would have fallen on them.
High is supposed to hit mid 50's tomorrow and then drop all the way down to single digits for the overnight low. We even have an overnight low of below zero in the 10 day forecast. There is a propane "shortage" around here. Instead of them not wanting to make a delivery for less than 200 gallons, now you can't buy more than 200 gallons. The price is going up dramatically. The least price increase I've heard is 70 cents a gallon. A weather forecaster said that this will be the coldest winter in central Missouri in the past 30 years. Praise the Lord for our Hardy furnace. As long as the Hardy keeps plugging along we have enough propane to last us until fall, at least. Before then the price will be back to normal. Hopefully these high prices, and profits for those in the propane business, will spur some more fracking to increase the propane supply.
Hope you have/had a great day. May God bless your and yours.
