Sit back and talk with friends. Same rules as before. Rule #1-Relax with friends on the front or back porch.
Rule #2-No Politics, religion or anything above a G level.
That I forgot this morning. You will get some of those tiny styrofoam snow pellets scattered around the tree that miss the catch basin.
DON'T try and sweep them up with a plastic dust pan! You end up with a like static charge and when you go to dump them in the basin a bunch
of them will jump out and stick to the dust pan!!! Trying to get them off is not going to happen!
I could turn the living room into my own snow globe if I turned this beast on next to tree!!
Would like to run it again since the weather is perfect with dry heated air in the Winter but has to be away from computers and other sensitive electronics. May run it in back bedroom.
