The January Thaw

Random thoughts for today…

1.  The January Thaw is here.  It is a little known and untracked weather occurance that happens in mid January.  Thus far we’ve had 10 days with relatively ‘nice’ weather and just a bit of misty rain yesterday.  We’re due for 4 more days of sunny/cloudy days then the rain starts and will continue through April.

NEXT

 The hidden costs of building your home and notorious.  We can handle the many aspects of road building, water piping, holding tank locations, septic installation, cement pouring but it is the hidden costs that frighten me.

NEXT

 Coos/Curry power has a monopoly that won’t be broken.  They are the only power company in Brookings.  As such they have the power (no pun intended) to do whatever they want.  As of Feb. 1st they are no longer giving transformers you have to pay $5,000.  Yes, I said $5,000.  And they are charging us $6,000 to pull the power lines through the conduit (that is costing $4,000 for the trench and conduit to be laid) and placing the transformer.  That is a hell of a pay check.  $6,000 for one days work.  Plus you have to sign a 10 year contract with them.  ouch!

NEXT

  I hate my Pulmonologist’s scheduler.  She has called me 4 times to reschedule my appointment.  I made it for November and it is now January and she wanted to reschedule to February.  I told her this was the last time.  If they try to reschedule again I’m finding another Dr.  (Never mind there isn’t one within 3 hours!) They have now moved me into another calender year and I will have to pay the deductable.  That is why I made the appointment in November in the first place.  Amazingly enough she called back and said she would keep it at the same date and time.  Hmmmm.

FINALLY

I am on order 9 and have 25 in the works for Socks knit from YOUR yarn.  Business is moving right along and thus far I’ve had very few ‘problems’.  I think I’ve found my niche.
