    21 degrees and sunny here today not bad really. Phone calls from recruiters is becoming tedious.

    They're very good loads. There's actually two right now I'd take, couple yesterday, not even going to the frozen waste lands, but we'd have to go now.

    Like now.

    But we're going to stick with the plan.

    After reading that @Moose1958 took a nitro pill I’m having a sympathy headache.

    Being the ugly American's, I started saving change when we moved to Phoenix area ( 15 years ). We never give Panda, Wal mart, blah our change for the orphaned first responders children with no appendages, they're just torsos.

    Anyway, The OM estimates our spare change at $5K or better.

    Me and my family are no strangers to frozen pipes... The trailer house we lived in until Sept of 2020 froze up on a yearly basis. After the first 3 years I had enough heat tape under the house that it had to get really cold before it became a problem. But when it did freeze it froze bad... Once I didnt have any water for nearly 3 days, IIRC that time the pump house froze. Both me and my landlord were without water.

    The new house is much better insulated so it's not as big of a problem. But when it gets cold and the North wind blows, it blows right into the attic vent and chills the attic (where the plumbing is run) pretty good.

    Ever notice that the hot water pipes freeze first?

    My daughter had a couple patients with Covid Saturday. Monday She has symptoms. I helped her find a rest site. Got the 3 day test. I found another one, quick test. It was negative. They claim a lot of false negatives with quick test. Today’s She Cant get through to HR. She doesn’t want to miss work. She absolutely doesn’t want to give anyone else Covid. We’ll know for sure tomorrow. She probably doesn’t have it. Already had the first Covid, been double vaccinated and boosted.
