Dang, girl! I hope your house warmed up by the time you got home!

Whoever came up with the idea of battery-operated thermostats should be shot! GRRRRRRR!!!

[radu]

I finally opened the drain yesterday!

WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!

That was a long time coming, for sure!

Linda Ronstadt - Rock Me On the Water

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Kathy! Love the military pics!

[radu]

Howdy, Liberty!

How are things with you this evening?
Have you had dust storms today ahead of the front getting ready to move through?

[Liberty Valance]

Nope. My only problem is cedar

This is my box of Kleenex- there are many like it but this one is mine ;o)~

The Beach Boys and Lorrie Morgan - Don't Worry Baby

[radu]

Yuck! I feel for you dealing with cedar.
It doesn’t kick in here until Spring but when it does, it hits with a vengeance. Hubby and I empty Kleenex boxes in a hurry.

At least you don’t have dust added to the mix and that’s a plus. :-)

It was a great day when my dad brought this LP home ;o)~

Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass A - Taste of Honey

[blueunicorn6]

This lady lives in Longview, Washington now.

“How do you know that?” you might ask.

I’m a veritable suppository of trivial information like that, I might reply.

[Liberty Valance]

bump ;o)~

Herb Alpert - Tijuana Taxi

[radu]

My parents had that album in their collection too.
Mom wasn’t overly pleased with the cover - LOL! - but we all enjoyed the music.

[blueunicorn6]

I almost married a girl that looked like that.

Well, maybe not almost married.

More like she spit on me when I asked her out.

I was used to that, though.

My wife spit on me on our first date. Tried to stab me, too.

I was quicker back then.

She just nicked me a little.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mooch...have you managed to stay warm?

Did you get snow in the “big storm”?

It’s 10 at my house right now.

[Liberty Valance]

Ha! You are a lucky man. Tip o' the hat ...

Steely Dan - Deacon Blues

[Kathy in Alaska]

I HAVE HEAT DOWNSTAIRS!!! It is back up to 68, the temp I keep it down there. We abandoned the downstairs when my Mom could no long get down there. I walk thru twice a day and do laundry down there. I’m just thankful changing the batteries was the answer. The first 2 I put in brought no picture to the digital screen, but the second set did. Whew!!

I will start making sure the thermostat is ON every morning as I go downstairs for coat and shoes and walk out into the garage.

Alison Krauss - Ghost In This House

[luvie]

Oooo...I do love me some Tijuana Brass! :)

Good rockin’ tonight, LV!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Glad you had a fun pub night.

Be good at the vet, Penny...

[luvie]

Yay! I’m so glad that the one set of batteries worked and you have your heat back downstairs! There’s no reason for it to be cold for you when you have to go down to go to work.

Um....where do you eat your meals. Just curious. :)

[luvie]

Hey, there, radu! (((hugs)))

I nearly missed your post! I started watching a new TV show and the pings just kept coming in. LOL!

Hope you had a good day.
