Friday... just on for a minute. SURPRISE..... landlord actually had a guy there this morning.... chimney is cleaned... it was nearly stopped up. Now need to get the furnace guy back, he told landlord that it needed to have some adjustments but he does not do that. Talked to the landlord a minute, he said it was good to go and will get the furnace guy back to do the servicing now. Also that the tank is nearly empty and that if I get some fuel delivered he will pay for it. Of course, he has to keep the pipes from freezing and all so he has water for the cattle and he can't let the basement/water pump freeze and the water in the pipes in the house and into the bathroom, either.
Got the stuff from the cedar chest loaded and brought up and in the house. Will probably get the cedar chest tomorrow since it is not that heavy empty. Then I can put the stuff back in and not have it sitting around in the way or getting dirty or anything.
Going to the farm to get the meters and do his computer work and all, then going to the sale and see if the cows are there,
Sunny and even a little warmer, comfortable, but some gusty winds. Relatively speaking it is "nice" out.... Probably mid 40's . Pretty much the same for the next 2 -3 days then maybe some rain/snow/mix coming in for Monday...
Long range forecast is showing possible SNOW.....on THURSDAY of course... since I am supposed to be going to MD for the Dr appt.... Oh well. I will leave plenty early that morning... and if they are calling for any type of accumulation I may go up the night before. Have to see where the possible storm is tracking early next week.
Time to get the computer and printer packed up and head up to the farm. Need to find a short step stool thing to be able to get up on the work bench. I really like it to be able to work on getting the stuff up into the top shelves.
I have several goose down vests and jackets that I cannot wear.... want to have them cleaned/washed...not really dirty dirty... just dusty like from hanging on the clothes pole; any pros or cons to washing as opposed to professionally cleaning? I do not have a dryer and they suggest drying in a dryer with a clean sneaker to kinda help bang them around....fluff them up as the down dries. I can always take the time to do it at the laundromat.... I would wash them in a big machine there anyway.... but is it better to wash or to just dry clean. I don't mind spending the money if that is better.... I do have some sneakers that need washing and do that at the laundromat when I have a load of work clothes to do; bulky stuff like the overalls, have several lined/quilted shirts that need doing anyway. There is one heavy coat that I think my father gave me for a barn coat.... It has to be dry cleaned and I can take them all at once. Stuff for a yard sale in the future.... I loved that coat as a "kid"..... had it a long time and wore it for "good" not a barn coat.
