I am glad I missed the Ivy covered window, that one is as much a royal pain in the ass as the pink squiggly I do not like or the chocolate roll one.

I hope everyone's day started better than mine. No heat, and in Alaska that could be real bad. Fortunately we had a slight warm up yesterday to 20F, and this morning 35F/2C and expecting rain. I still do not know why our Toyo oil stove stopped working. Some thunking on the oil tank exit area, draining a little gunk/dirt/water from the oil filter, more thunking on the valve going into the house, priming the burner, trying twice, then doing the burner cleaner routine, and it finally started to work again.

It has been a morning. One of the reasons I like to vote into the noon hour the next day before going to sleep, a good thing too, I was at 23 minutes for my vote to be fully recharged.

Any way I hope everyone's day and week go better than mine has started, and I hope we do not get the rain they are expecting for us.
