Some of us are always cold, so to speak.

To be sure, but getting parts is a royal pain. And finding a decent authorized repair service is likewise difficult. You know how I know.

datlas 

Is that like always being cool?

rpenmanparker 

That’s what I was thinking. Ironic!

Only in jellyfish. Does nothing for people.

Just had to get rid of some strange man who was outside the suite door for more than 5 min. knocking and trying to opened the locked door. He seems to have a speech impediment and/or some sort of odd accent and was dressed like he fell off the back of a turnip truck. Think a thinner version of Milton from "Office Space," big glasses and all.

He had a slip of paper and was pointing to some writing saying he wanted to meet with the person named on the paper, but there was no person named. The writing had one of our parent corp's name but our address. There was also some deed numbers. I was finally able to ascertain that he was interested in some property. I gave him the name of one of our real estate guys. Come on 4 o'clock.

Sometime in the future we may be forced to move into a flat apartment in a building not equipped with natural gas. Most large buildings aren’t, even in a town like Houston. And/or we may have to buy an apartment in New Orleans when my MIL is no longer there in order to keep up our visit schedule to stay tight with our childhood friends. Best substitute for gas flame cooking I can think of is induction. So one way or another we will likely be joining that club.

Not as far as I am aware.

I think he did it again.

In case anyone is interested, here is the route for tomorrow's epic club ride:

Whoa, baby!

See if you can get it come out to 66.6 actual miles

I may have neglected to mention that I am currently on a month-long suspension from another forum (concerning my other principal hobby) which has a particularly ugly “political” subforum.

Poor tree outside my office took a beating. Too early to fall.

I got an office day because we didn't go camping. Watched over six hours of body worn camera and dash cam footage. Caught up on that.

I've used the stove a half dozen times since arrived yesterday, but still nothing demanding - just getting a feel for it. Still, it's fun. There's something weirdly magical in the way that nothing outwardly happens yet the pans (and contents) get hot.

datlas 

I will do my best. But I can't linger too long for bonus miles, mrs datlas and I have an anniversary date!

WhyFi

What's worse: watching hours of nothing happening or watching a handful of seconds of something happening?

WhyFi

Oh yeah - I rode. It cleared up enough for me to venture out, though I still got hit with some sleet and hammered by wind. Better than not going, though.

Also, today is one of those damp days, early in the cold season, that just soaks in to my bones and makes me want to spend a few hundred bucks on base layers. I'll try to resist for a few days in the hopes that I'll acclimate.

Kudos

There's usually always something happening, unless it's dash and no one is in the car. I mine this stuff because people/cops say and do things that never get heard or are conveniently forgotten.

MoAlpha

Ugh. I hear Sri Lanka is nice.

Do you miss seeing the flame as an indicator of heat level? I’m assuming you have had some experience with gas stoves. I know the temperature response to the induction current is instantaneous like with a flame, but I still like seeing that flame height. It is good to know there is an electric alternative that is highly functional though.

WhyFi

I missed it for a while, but it's been several years. There's certainly an adjustment period where you feel out what power level on which burner gets you to where you want to be; having flames is an easy indicator, in comparison, but once you're dialed in, it's not an issue.
