Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[Sir Henry]

My thrill today is taking my Outback into the dealership for warranty service on the transmission. I’ll be driving on two inches of slush.

It's a bit windy here in OKC but back home it's cold, windy, and four inches of new wet snow.
I'm using Simpli Safe to watch a friend of ours back home shovel and plow our snow.

36' and rained overnight. Not raining at the moment. No snow, but the snow drops are up. So Spring is coming. Maybe 45' with rain later today. Looks like plenty of rain coming over the next 7 days.

A mile winter day so far with a morning temp of 26 and a half inch of new snow. We have a storm warning for 1-4” later today but at 36 currently that’s doubtful. Lows in the upper teens to low 20’s expected for the next few days.

Sitting here waiting for a guy to arrive to replace the module in my newly purchased powered La Z boy recliner. Works fine except the home button which is supposed to return all functions to the upright position. On mine it’s the opposite, the home button lays the chair out. It took four calls to the dealer with the last one to the factory to get any glimmer of support. The owner of the store is due here this morning between 9:00 and 12:00 and it’s currently 11:18 and no arrival yet. I’m not too hopeful as so far the after sale support has been horrible. This is a store in Coeur d’alene Idaho that has been in business for decades.


ETA: shortly after typing this the tech showed up. Also, to my the chair did malfunction when I first showed it to the tech and then it started working properly. WTH 2 months of not working properly and when the tech is here, presto. I congratulated him on his ability to repair it without touching it. Smartly while he is here with the replacement part he is installing it anyway.

We bought two mechanical recliner/swivels from LazyBoy a couple of years ago or so. Neither would stay up recline position. Tech from Layboy came out and adjusted the spring tension setting or something. He wasn't happy that the chairs left the factory non-functional.

I just purchased a new Lazy Boy but chose to go with the manually operated version, for these very reasons. If it doesn't work, that means I'm not working.

If it's not properly adjusted at the factory, the mechanical ones don't work. That was our situation.

I don't think it's that way on all recliners but one I had long ago almost killed my cat. There were 2 boards that came together when you reclined, first recliner position left a several inch gap between them, all the way reclined they passed each other and left no gap. If I hadn't heard him squalling before I reclined all the way back he would have been dead. Got rid of it, did have a couch with recliners on both ends but I checked that it was a different design, was also more difficult for a cat to get under.

Hello winter, where you been? 12 this morning with an inch of new snow overnight. Brrrrrr. But by early next week we will be back up into the 40’s. It’s been a rough winter that seems like it has lasted for hours.

Last Christmas I made the mistake of bragging to my golf buddies how great my fudge is. We’re meeting in downtown Spokane tomorrow at the golf trade show and they are expecting me to bring them some fudge. So that’s what I’ll be doing today, making fudge. Yum

32' and overcast, drying out, but rain expected overnight. Maybe 46' later.

[Sir Henry]

Lows for the next nine days mostly in the teens and highs in the twenties. Then on the tenth day it’ll be minus seven. Guess it’s still winter.

Cold again this morning at 25 but it looks like we should see sunny skies. Forecast is for 40 later. Yesterday we only got to 28 but it was sunny.

Going to the golf show today to buy discount tickets for some of the courses around the area. Plus hook up with my golf buddies that I haven’t seen since late fall. Then home for the Gonzaga basketball game.

cool rain is pretty much our weather term for this morning (Feb 21st) .... they say the rain will be with us for the next 3 hours .... 55 at 10AM with 60 being today's high followed by an overnight low of 47 .... not much on today's agenda ... as of now, our only need to leave home today is to haul off trash when we get a break in the rain .... our vintage microwave died yesterday .... we purchased a replacement that appears to be going to work out well .... the old one is the major item we need to haul off today
