Meghan and I got the AC set up at Mom’s, I took care of a couple other tasks, and the four of us had dinner with her.
We’re surviving this Fimbulwinter fairly well so far. I walked to the grocery store yesterday to stock up on supplies; Meghan shoveled the driveway; our new heat pump is a little slower than the furnace to warm the house when it first turns on, but it gets there.
Turned on the new heat pump for the season sometime last week, maybe September 29 or so.
The carport gutter got clogged, so it pulled away from the carport, so Greg helped Meghan and me jury-rig a fix. Then I cleared the clog, and the rush of water from the downspout overwhelmed the rain barrel and spilled onto my legs and feet.
Reaching the end of several days of heat and smoke; ready to open the house again.
