    How’s you make it through the blizzard? You likely had much higher winds than we had. I saw reports from GC of 60+mph.

    My tenant just opened my lane with his skidsteer. It’s nice to be able to get out but I kinda liked being locked in. There was one drift where the lane drops down to the garage that was probably 4’ deep. I’ve been here 30 years and it’s the first time I’ve seen that. Lord knows we need moisture but I like it better when it’s rain. I forget, Kenny, you in western Kansas, Colorado or Nebraska?

    We will be about 10 degrees warmer. Come on down.

    How’s it going up your way. We had our second 10”er overnight but this one has wind. Gusts to 40mph. My lane is drifted shut and the power has been off since 5:00am. We have the generator keeping the furnace running but I only have 5 gallons of reserve gas. Evergy says we’ll get power back today but we’ll see. Worst case, I’ll have to have a buddy bring me some fuel. Power is still on in town.

    That means "who gutted the chicken?" for you non-French speakers.

    I almost posted this video of Echoes. Of the many that are on Youtube, this is the best.

    We spent last week in Santa Fe doing a combo Thanksgiving/Christmas with our kids. We stayed at the Inn of the Governors and every room had artwork from the same artist in it. I'm not sure what we did to deserve the "Padre molesting a monkey with a feather" room, but that's what we were given.

    Lower pressure is generally how we know it's time to replace the filter. It goes along fine until one day it is noticeably down. A quick trip to the basement and all is right in the world again.

    These are the shit for removing that shit smell. The hardest part of installation is removing the passive anode from the tank. It's like they weld those things in.

    Yes, it's still going. Still a pretty good place to eat or so I've been told. I haven't been in there in a couple years so I can't speak to its quality nowadays. Not too surprising to see the picture of the sports bar on a Friday. I'm sure it's a different story on a Saturday and especially so on a Sunday. Folks love their Chiefs around here and those that don't, love their Cowboys.

    That would probably be better but the WHF cost less than $75 and I installed it myself. The wife can change filters by herself and with her stiff fingers from RA that's no small thing. We are on our 2nd unit in 30 years and we get a years worth of filters for under $100 when we buy in bulk. It is a really simple system that does a great job.

    Doodah Diner for breakfast. Fizzburger for lunch and Chester’s for a good steak dinner. the Wichita Aviation Museum by McConnell AFB is good and the B-29 “Doc” has a hangar out at the airport. OldTown has a number of bars and eating places and the Museum of World Treasures. It’s a wide ranging display of local collectors stuff. Everything from Egyptology to Civil War to fossils and geology. The Delano district west of the river has several good places to eat and drink. The All Indian Center is worth a look and at nightfall they light the torch of “The Keeper Of The Plains” statue at the confluence of the Little Arkansas and Arkansas rivers. That should give you enough places to google and explore. If you have any specific questions, I’ll answer what I can. It’s not a complete wasteland, we get by.

    I have a Culligan whole house filter on my well system. It has cylindrical canisters that I change every month. It is used mostly to trap sediment that gets pumped to the house and does a good job of that. The filters are mud coated when removed. I still have a full range of Culligan tanks that follow this filter to get sulphur and other minerals out of the water before it is sent to the softener. The water is unusable without all of this in my case. YMMV.

    Pretty good show. My kids were born during the Yankees playoff series in ‘76 and ‘78 (fuck the Yankees) so I spent equal time laughing and crying during the show. It brought back a ton of memories.

    Let me know you're in town, next time. I have bourbon in my office.

    Today's update on the Marion Police debacle, where we learn that the former CoP and the "victim" likely had a relationship prior to the raid. And we get to see the former CoP prepare to piss in a local convenience store because he forgot to turn off his body cam. That's a bit of a twist from usual cop practice. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/most-embarrassing-leak-ever-marion-police-chief-s-own-video-shows-he-s-unfit-to-serve-opinion/ar-AA1k9uqt

    Managing is easy, right, Wash?

    We are Hilton honors members and the Hilton Garden inn around the corner from the Downtown railrunner depot is going to hold our bags until we decide to head north. I’m old and don’t want to drive, that’s what my kids are for. We’ll give Vic’s a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Our family is meeting in Santa Fe for Christmas this year so my wife and I are flying into Albuquerque early one morning. Has anybody used the RailRunner transit system to get back and forth between the cities? We don't plan to do much away from the city center at either place and there will be a couple of rental cars from other family members if we do. My only concern is dragging our luggage around after we leave the airport until we can board the train to Santa Fe. Does anybody know if they have lockers at the depots? I could probably hire a bum to watch them.
