Looks like Thursday and Saturday we can get 1-3 inches more on each day - systems are still getting their act together. Fluid dynamics are a bitch to predict.
+++++++++++++++
When we saw our thermostat was about 4 degrees off (remember the ones with a little vile of mercury in them?) we decided it was time to get into the 21 century. I did a bunch of reading to see if The NEST was a marketing tool or something real. . . . . looked like something real all right.
So looked around and saw Best Buy and most big box stores were NOT the places to get one. Went online and got one for $219 from Costco . . . of course there was shipping and taxes and additional over charge (called fees and taxes) and it ended up about $15 less then Best Buy.
HOWEVER - you can get $75 from the Columbus Water and Light I hope (have not gotten it YET).
SO - it's very very easy to install, literally took less then a half hour WITH reading the instructions and using their included ultra cool screw driver (they could save $10 to dump the screw driver) we were up and running.
The instructions say set the temp how you want it and keep adjusting it as the day goes to your comfort level. It will learn your habits. So I did. I was very zealous with my adjustments and after one week it had my likes and dislikes down to an amazing tee.
This shows what the thermometer believes we wanted. WOW - pretty darn cool (or hot). Figured this out with me playing up/down all day a degree here and there LOL
But the really nifty thing is that you can view when the furnace actually goes on and off and it will tell you when the furnace was on more then normal because of the weather.
This shows one of my calm days in setting the temp. Thursday shows when exactly the furnace went on although I really don't think it runs for hours at a time so I'm a little confused .
There is a monthly chart too but I'm not at that point yet. The number of hours needed for heat pretty much correlates with the amount of sun and temperature outside.
You can also set it so when you or all phones leave the house it will automatically set the temperature to a desired setting. And of course you can set it up or down while you are away from home.

Meanwhile - the stock market took a dump because the Trump Tax Cut For The Rich is making the fed print twice as much money as the GOP believed it would and thus inflation is rising much faster then they were betting on. Of course FOX News is blaming Obama - no they literally are I kid you not. BENGHAZI BENGHAZI emails look at the emails totally vindicated! FAKE NEWS market hit NEW record highs yesterday.
OH - the government shut down? It's coming as Trump has refused to talk about DACA (the never compromise strategy). GEE - I guess making an empty promise and kicking the can down the road is a great strategy for a draft dodging woman groping GOP President. No funding for THE WALL - no government. Take THAT America!
Weird - when BOTH sides work together on something and then the child king is throwing a tantrum and rejects it because he wants a wall. The #Trumpshutdown begins Friday.

SpaceX is really going BIG today. The largest rocket ever to be put into space called The Falcon Heavy. This can carry 300 people (of needed) into space and Musk says there is a 50/50 chance it does not blow up!! SWEET!!! I want to be on that first mission.
BUT WAIT - I have Winter Park CO, Quebec and Las Vegas vacations in the planning stages this summer. The Falcon Heavy will have to wait.

A number of Eagle players say they will skip the trip to the White House. Brady would go. he is a huge Trump supporter. I'm liking the Eagles more and more.

And finally - TGCTours getting to the good courses with spring coming soon. This week we are playing the Barstool Open at the Routledge Country Club. Seems pretty. Those fairway traps are about 280 away. The trick is to NOT go in those on the drive.
The image is a lot "greener" then on the TV (I was going to say "tube" but there re no tubes).
Cheers!
