Except for the horseradish, that panini sounds really good.

We should tell those people that live in the boring non-seasonly places, why we keep the gas (petro) tanks topped off in the sub temps. ;)

Carrot Sticks

Blue Cheese

Today Wilderness and I have been together for a year and a half.

I'm really down these days. I hate this new apartment. I miss home so fucking bad.

The only time I am happy these days is when I'm at work.

1. Going to run (okay, drive) to Wally World in just bit. :shrug:
2. Need to have the air checked in my car's tires. :(
3. Want to find something good to eat ... maybe some egg drop soup from a local Chinese restaurant. :)

Been really lazy today

Put sand down in the driveway

Setting up Quickbooks

I've been feeling soooooooo much better since I last posted in this thread.

We started the swimming lesson registration today - wow busy!

I need to get out with my car to learn to drive it!!! But it keeps snowing!!!!!!!!

If DB doesn't want to let you season deprived folks in on all the fun stuff, I guess I'll have to …………… but only if you promise not to be jealous of the fun things we get to do and the more fun when we don't do them. :rofl:

It is just an issue of moisture condensing in air with extreme temperature drops. When the volume of fuel in a tank is low it allows for a larger volume of air containing water vapor. With an extreme drop of temperature this vapor can condense back into liquid water, which has a higher density than the gasoline and of course goes to the bottom of the tank where the fuel line is connected. Water going into our internal combustion engines, particularly through the older carburetor systems, doesn't work. Even worse is when that water wasn't moving and allowed to freeze into a solid in the fuel line between the tank and the fuel pump that use to pull it to the engine. "Fuel line freeze up" meant a tow and after being inside, it was costly to flush out all the now again liquid water. A common practice is/was to use a combustible additive, "dry gas" (carbon tetrachloride with a trade name), with each fill-up that would absorb the water and pass through the engine. Of course keeping the tank full of petro and allowing minimum air with water vapor into the tank reduces the problem when cold temps are expected.



Next time we'll tell you how to install tire chains (which any good Canadian girl :hockey: can do) or when to plug your car into the electric heater so the oil doesn't get so think it won't turn over. ;)




:roflmao:

Water in the fuel?

Tip 1. Don't let the tank get under 1/2.

Tip 2. A cup of methylated spirits every 3 tanks. Water dissolves in metho and passes harmlessly through the system.

It works in the tropics.

1. Cleaned bedroom top to bottom

2. getting new bed delivered on wednesday

3. waiting for chinese food to come

I used to install "tank heaters" to keep the whole engine block thinking it was springtime. They attached at the base of the radiator with a hose circling back up and into the engine. You'd plug it in, it'd heat the water which would naturally rise up and go into the engine. Then, when you started the car (which was easy since it was already warmed up), you could immediately turn on the heater. :) Wonderful device. Made me the envy of neighbors around here that never had heard of them before. :) :boink:

It's the hubby's 40th birthday today.

When I met him, he was just a lad of 20. Where has the time gone?

Wasn't a bad day, as Mondays go.

Had mac & cheese with sausage n' mushroom n' extra ricotta plus spinach today...very satisfying.

Thought I'd go food shopping afterwards but it's col' outside and I got comfortable, so fuck that noise!

Only one bottle of red for the whole night. I'm feeling good-crazy enough for two. :spank:

Yesterday was the first day that my job was actually a job. I hope that it's better today.

I've never worked anywhere that initiative wasn't encouraged, and even rewarded. I know this town is backwards, but this is ridiculous. I am meant to be supervisor, but my boss has taken all my tasks that make me anything but a glorified lifeguard.

My sister was supposed to come up yesterday to stay the night, but there was a huge snowstorm at home and she wasn't able to come. :(

1. kids school started back after MLK holiday
2. got to sleep late as hubby took care of her
3. bad news is i am sick as a dog
