Oh great- now they have changed the forecast from many inches of snow to..... I don't even like saying the word..... rain :-( There is still a chance of some 'flurries' overnight but what good will that do me? Stupid winter is almost over.
At least it was cold enough for long enough to wipe out my motorcycle battery. It will not hold a charge for 24 hours any longer so it must be time. Not bad life out of it though, I think it is 3 or 4 years old and probably would have survived this last winter had the bike been used or at least the battery charged before it got so cold. New MotoBatt on the way.
Oh well, the recent temp. changes did cut WAY back on my wood usage (easy boys!). Got a chance to shut down the stove, clean out the pipes (easy!) and the heat exchanger. Broke the scraper rod on the heat exchanger though and looked up the price of a new one: $200 and out of stock until at least April. Not such bad news, it will prod me along to fix this one when it is warmer.
