Semi-Annual furnace filter Vacuum and Wash out time, last day in the 60's before the 40's and 30's to wrap up the weekend... This thing has never been CLOSE to this bad in the 8 years I have owned it, but it clearly does it's job, there's zero notice of polluted air coming out of the registers. I vacuum the registers as well, but obviously not often enough. That's on the weekly list from now on. Holy Schnikies!

We have central AC and heat but my room and my brother's room don't heat or cool efficiently. Not sure why, but I think there are blockages in our vents. AC guy refused to look or clean the vents out though. I also still need to fix my broken window which lets a lot of cold air in and hot air out. The heater takes awhile to kick on for some reason. But just being cold outside is enough of a reason for my kitties to want to come to my room. It's the only room with an open door (which probably contributes to the heating/cooling issues). But the door is broken so I can't shut it. The edge trim is coming out from inside the hollow core and I can see the cardboard inside.

I met with my friend to put gas in his car earlier. Due to some bs with his ex he's broke again and will be getting less money this pay period bc he had to leave work to go get his daughter bc his ex bunked and left town without warning while her bf was at work and no one was home to let the kid in when she got out of school. The ex previously left her son locked out in the rain for 2+ hours after school. My friend had to get his daughter a phone so she could call him in cases like this. She'd left the kids alone while she went out of state for a week. Didn't arrange any childcare-- just left them alone together-- and the boy is abusive to the girl. My friend should have reported her to CPS for that one.

Looks like the playset was delivered to my friend's house but he's at work. I still haven't found my auger battery. Worst case I can look for my post-hole digger. Hoping the guy who was supposed to do the yardwork didn't steal it along with all the edge trimmers and other stuff he stole.
 
Picked up RX, grabbed cow feed, helped my friend finish assembling the playset, plugged some knot-holes with wood putty, grabbed Mcdonalds on the way home. About to take a nap bc I'm exhausted.

A little over 2 weeks to midterms? Surprised they haven't removed Joe, put Kamala in, had Kamala pick Newsom as VP, have Kamala resign and promote Newsom to "President".

Can't impeach Newsom strictly for being an idiot in Commiefornia.

They can't do any of that next year because the Republicans will take the House, that's pretty much guaranteed... Senate maybe as well.

Not surprising that as Democrats approach another election they are expected to fail at that they would invent still another PLANDEMIC to use to CONTROL everyone again... except that at this time, of course, they don't want to totally collapse the economy again for THEIR guy... like they did starting in mid 2019...
.
Is this RSV another weaponized flu created by Fauci/CDC? Where did it come from? Is it natural?
.
Can't believe most people still lying the word "vaccine" for something (all flu/Covid shots) that isn't and has never been a 'vaccine', just a weak after the fact 'treatment'...
.
Meanwhile, Democrat junkies will murder another 80 Americans today... (they murder more in warmer weather and fewer in winter weather to average out to 75 daily)

Are you heating with oil? Assume no natural gas out where you are. To balance the heat throughout the house need to adjust valves in heat ducts at furnace and/or in vent openings to make sure heat gets out evenly to the house.
 
I have talked about appliance extended warranties in the past and how they are absolutely needed since my Samsung Double Oven never worked correctly in the first place... DO NOT get a Double Oven thinking it will work like that for cooking, the top is for keeping the Green Beans and Stuffing warm while the Turkey cooks in the lower oven. The top Oven is NOT for cooking a Pizza, which took almost an hour for me... The warranty tech told me that, which made the extra oven useless except for the Holidays blah blah blah...

The Oven failed, won't seal, the display is whacked where it's either a 1 or a 7, and the ignitors sometimes work on the range... I had a 5 Year warranty on it, and Lowe's didn't feel like repairing it, so they refunded my entire purchase. Now, they are sending me emails to buy a new warranty for the thing, which is an oversight in their system, but I like the idea that I could extend the warranty for a few more years if it was operational.

I wonder if Home Depot will do that for the new Oven I bought in 6 years when the warranty I bought is almost up... Lowe's no longer has 5 Year extended, only 3... I'll probably be replacing my Maytag / Whirlpool Dishwasher and Laundry set that are worthless garbage next year, but will have to go to HD for their 5 year warranties...

People in the family go to Costco... NO, YOU CAN'T do that! They have a 2 year max warranty!... Never listen to me because I'm the youngest (And smartest!)

It's hard to justify giving a controversial vaccine to children as a requirement to enter school (like they are proposing at the Federal level) since covid doesn't really affect most children. But this new RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) does seem to affect children so, there you go...A reason to vaccinate children now exists.

Question for the braintrust...I just came out of a 3 week coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. I tested 4 times and was negative for Covid. Does that kid coughing illness stay just with kids, or are adults susceptible?

Two of my kids had what sounds like the same thing (younger one was taken to the hospital and treated for croup, twice), and then I quickly contracted it and am only now getting over it.

For each of us it lasted about 5-8 days though, not 3 weeks. At 10 days I would have scheduled a doctor's visit for myself.
