I used a local shop. We Care Plumbing Heating and Air. Their stuff is rebranded Lennox. Cheaper than Costco... same sh*t.

Guess what I am hoping to see from the middle of my street, in an easterly direction, 50 miles away... should clouds move in, mother frankers?

Thank you Robert. The plan is another 6-10 years here. Kind of puts on the fence quality-wise. Seeing everything from 92 to 98% efficiencies on them. High efficiency is best, but both pricier initially and maintenance. Mo whistles and bells, mo problems.

22 wc 16.

Productive morning so far.
30 minutes\6.7 miles on the s-bike.
Shaved & showered- should be good for another month or two.
My favorite doctor returned to the clinic group I use, appointment set up. Pretty happy about that.
Enjoying McDonald's Breakfast Blend.

Letting it warm up a bit before the dog walks me. (woof)

Zero problems. It is incredibly efficient at everything. Top of the line payed for itself in for years of reduced bills.

Noah's LSAT score was revealed today! 163! Probably 87th to 91st percentile. That's above the median for every school he applied to! He also got accepted to Stetson Law (#2 in trial advocacy and #7 in legal writing, both nationally). It has an advanced degree program in business law and litigation too, which he'd be an automatic admit as well.And, Stetson's opening scholarship offer was $90,000, as long as he keeps at 2.4gpa or above. That would guarantee that his cost going there, without our extracting any more from them, would be the same as a state public school. The more schools he gets in to the more leverage we will have in some likely upcomming negotiations to extract more scholorship money.

Big Week!!!

Applause

Fantastic news, Robert! It's good to see a person who was well raised and motivated. Kudos to Mrs Rfenst!

Last night of vacation.

I'm ready for another but my bank account is not. Three Florida resorts in 2 months, 15 nights away.

Learned we are definitely not a Disney family. That day was the worst, and the most expensive.

Heading home tomorrow but the weather's sposeda be pretty nice back home for the weekend. Last time we landed in a snowstorm and had to shovel the driveway before we could get the car to the garage to unpack.

Got a good bit of beer and liquor left to consume tonight. Checkout at 11, flight at 2 so we can get stupid.

I'm an hour or so from Disney Land, Danm... I don't recall going there but 1 time in the 31 years I have been in CA.

I prefer Knott's Berry Farm. Less expensive, less crowded. Same for Six Flags Magic Mountain, but it's a little further away.

When I went to Orlando, Universal studios was the one we hit.

Best weather we've had for this time of year.

It's our third late February trip. Packed more jeans and sweatshirts than we needed.

No rain, low humidity and 75-85 every day.

I dont know how you live down here though. Traffic, tourists, etc. I've used my horn more in the last 10 days than in a month leading up to it.

Florida blows.........if wifey's sister and a BIL I happen to think a lot of didn't live there I'd never go back.

Got totally ripped off by the car rental place on toll charges

The airport sucks jolly green **** sticks

The traffic is ridiculous

However when we were there in October the only complaint was the humidity
