Drips and fog
Jan. 31st, 2012 08:59 pmSome light drizzle early today, then sun, then heavy cloud, then more drips, and now fog. This is January? Doesn't bode well for July. Almost all the snow cover has melted away.
Heat pump expert came by this morning to check out our system. He worked on it in the fall, and wanted to do a checkup before sending his bill (I don't wanna think about it) but he found it mostly in good shape. Graound loop pressure within tolerances, which was our worry. That had been showing signs of a pressure leak, but perhaps not. He does think the connections to the loop may be buried too near the surface or otherwise poorly set up, and we may have a look at that later this year. But it's running and passes the tests he made.
Work was not quite as hectic as I'd feared. Boss was out, but the other staff member who was ill yesterday was back so we weren't too thinly spread.
Gary needed a prescription refilled (actually he had a few days left but we thought it prudent in case of an ice storm or something with this weird weather) so we went into Woodstock for supper and to do that. While he waited at the pharmacy I looked over the large but substandard selection of plush Walgreen's had put out for valentine's day. An abundance of large green frogs, puppies with huge eyes (no not kittens, but chubby puppies) and a great many overstuffed and overweight bears made up the majority. There was a soft and floppy hippo that I kinda liked but resisted. Gorillas and large red hearts standing around on cowboy boot clad feet have no appeal at all. About three years ago I got a delightful cuddly plush mare (nice size too, about 30 inches long) at that store, so I keep hoping. It was valentine's season then too. But there were no equines at all today and not even many felines. No bunnies either but I suppose those will show up at Easter. Oh well.
