Business has been crazy for us lately. Normally things slow down this time of year.

It's rum thirty now.

Good morning guys! We made it to Thirsty Thursday!

No new snow here. Just fog. Last night we went out for wings and beer and on the way home it was drizzling. Now we are in for the deep freeze starting today I guess. Cold and windy.

Got to work this morning and walked into a very chilly shop. Heat had gone out in the middle of the night. Started to do some checking on the furnace and found the issue. I got the part in town and all fixed up again. Could have been bad if it went out over the weekend.

Good morning Troy and Jim.

No good on the furnace but glad you were able to get it fixed so fast.

Probably about 3" of snow from what I can see from in the house. Still a few flakes coming down.

Good morning Jay! Yeah I was glad I could figure it out myself and not have to pay someone to come and find the problem.

That will be a lot fluffier for you if you tip over your sled again.

Was thinking it might be time to invest in a wifi thermometer for in the shop. Get a notification if the temp drops too low. Anybody have any experience with one?

We had Nest stats at our work for a while. Terrible! Not sure what is there now but seem to be better. The Nest are way over priced and super unreliable. HVAC guys laugh at people that have them.

Maybe text Chris. I am pretty sure he has one at home.

Good morning Troy. Yay Friday!

Chris and I went out last night and put about 25-30 miles on the sleds in the fresh snow. Some trails/ditches were good others were already pounded down to nothing.

We need the groomers to get out there again.
