Wow! Only four days until 2016!
How did 2015 go by so fast? Hardly seems like last winter was over and here we go again. The seventy degree days recently were nice, but may presage the oncoming of the cold from last winter. Remember? It got cold and wet and icy really early last year.
We aren't out of the woods yet, for the thermometer is dropping and the ice and snow are just to the north again, just waiting to drop down on us. Brrr.
We had a Mitsubishi heating and cooling system installed last month. Cost a goodly sum but we have had had a chance to try out both the heating and cooling and both work fine. Sure beats having those space heaters going. The effect on our utility bill cannot as yet be calculated due to the unusual weather we have experienced since the installation. But, whatever it may be, the evenness of the temperature in the house makes it worthwhile.
Christmas was nice. We had both kids and their families with us. Ham and turkey and all the trimmings - we gave away most of it to the tribe and the balance is just about gone. Time to get a small corned beef cut and some cabbage and black-eyed peas for New Years Day.
I picked up a vcr/dvd player recorder a few days before Christmas and had my son install it for me (I can't understand all those doggoned wires). So I started watching some of my collection of Marshall football games again. It was good to see Kresser, Payton and Pennington but even more the defenses those teams had. My collection is basically 1995 through 2003. Back in the glory days.
I got the unit because I have a great number of video tapes and want to convert them to dvd. I have looked for the past year and a half for a vhs player and this is the first I've been able to find. That was enough to scare me into thinking I'd better get some sort of system that would enable me to preserve them onto dvd.
And its not just the game tapes. I also have about seventy or eighty other tapes (a lot of bluegrass musicians and history programs, special programs I never expect to find on tv again) that I like to watch, especially the bluegrass music from many artists that made it big or made it not at all.
So as long as I have electric power I'm pretty well set.
And I can too write without addressing politics, see!! Except for that ever-decreasing number.
