Kansas is still cold....

I haven't wanted to bore you with all the go here go there family and friends kind of posts, that would explain what I have been up to....

So other than driving down to the Lake on Saturday, that is all that has happened here in Biscuit and my lives...  

We did have a nice outing going to the lake on a 51 degree day, and found nothing out of place once we arrived.....   The heat was working and the water was off from the last time we were there so no problems were to be reported..

I did go down to the dock and inspect the pontoon boat and its lift, cycling the lift up and down with its air pump...  As the air in the pontoons of the lift contracts with the cool temperatures, the lift rides lower in the lake....  So blowing it up with the cooler air returns it to the correct height...  As the temps warm up, the air is expelled out the bottom of the lift floats as they are open to the water...

We do cycle the water in the pipes of the home, by turning the pressure back on and running every faucet...  This fills the drain traps as they tend to evaporate and refills the toilet bowls as well...  

It was three hours of driving to come back home arriving after dark...

Yesterday, I spent some of the football time with my cycle riding friend Al at his home.  We made hamburgers on the outdoor grill, but it was so cold outside that it took forever to finish them off.....  Al is from Wisconsin, so we were elated that the Packers pulled out the game over Chicago at the very end in a thriller...

Today it was 10 degrees this morning as we woke for the day, so it has been an inside day cleaning up some of the laundry and dishes type chores....

I hope to be able to leave sometime in the near future, but have legal matters to look into before that  can happen....  So for now, I remain cold in Kansas.....
