Cold Weather Stuff . . .

Since it ain't gettin any warmer around here, I decided I might as well get some cold weather chores out of the way.

My garage propane heater needed filling.  That meant a trip to the hardware store.  Had a package to drop off at the post office, so I did that on the way back.

Next job was fixin the snow blower.  The belt has been slipping.  Since I had a bit of heat in the garage, I decided I better replace that belt.  We been getting an inch or two every couple days and it is starting to pile up.  The snow blower is fixed and drive is clear of loose snow.

The sensors on the garage door has been pretty erratic lately.  So I figgered since the garage was cold again from cleanin off  the drive, I might as well spend some time fixin it.  If the sensors are out of line, the door opener  won't close it. I have been disconnecting the opener and closin it manually.  I tightened everything up and everything seems to be working . . . so far.  

I settled in with the Ft. Wayne paper.  Spotted a story on page 4 with this headline "Its' a fact:  Cold Weather makes you want to pee."  Sooooo, I decided I better be readin this story.  It seems that exposure to cold caused blood vessels to constrict.  That reduces circulation which raises blood pressure.  The body reacts by trying to get rid of excess water, which makes you want to pee.  So, now you know.
