My furnace croaked some time durring the day yesterday, while I was at work. I stopped for dinner on the way home. So by the time I got there it was 52 degrees inside. It took my until 1:30 am to complete the MacGyver repair on the exhaust blower motor. Furnace was still running this morning, it was still only 65 degrees at revilly.
Stupid 12 year old Lennox furnace....

Does anyone know the difference between a blue moon, a black moon, and a bad moon? This issue is a source of grave concern to my office. Apparently there is a black moon this month, and I want to know what to expect.

I am familiar with the Beaver Moon. I would not think that a Blue or Black Moon would be indicative of anything other than division by 29.53.

I LOLd when I saw you went to the same place in that "perfect husband" thread that I did. I thought "Ooooh, creepy stalker" but since he's her husband, he already knows where she lives and it's too late for a restraining order. But WTF is she doing riding alone along a stretch of road where someone's car went off and they weren't found for a month in the first place? Leaving that aside, a guy who checked up on her on the group ride, didn't apparently trust her and her girlfriends to ride the wine country, and insists only he can set up the trainer? And why won't he let her be in the garage or the man cave? Riding a bike may not have turned him into a "d*ck"- her word- but that dude is hiding something one of those two places. If I were her I'd be damned careful on that pitiful stretch of road.

My thinking as well Ramona_W. That fellow is too concerned about having her under his thumb, yet not giving an inch of his space.

No no no. Try to keep up. He bought a pink bike so a girl would go riding with him and she did. He lost that girl but kept the bike. Then he got a new girl. The new girl refused to ride the bike because it had been "contaminated" by the old girl riding it. He broke up with the new girl. She decided that since she was the newest old girl, it was now okay to ride the old bike. He sold the old (pink) bike. The newest old girl got back together with him. Now there is no bike- pink or otherwise- for her to ride even though she may or may not be willing to ride it.
I'd say that from here on out either the girls should supply their own bikes or you should rent bikes for the day. You already know the two of you are incompatible for the long run so why buy a bike to ride with this girl unless you like pouring money into the hole called "Taiwanese bikes that have been contaminated"?
As for doing yoga, some of the long-legged Asian chicks are just empirically smoking hot and if you think there's any chance you can introduce Tantric yoga into the deal then I say go for it. But don't buy any more girls' bikes or any more bikes for girls.

OK. A black moon is the second of two new moons in one month. About as common as a blue moon.
Wiccans can get a little crazy on black moons, so lock up your dogs, cats, goats, and virgins lest they be sacrificed.
There is also a wet moon and a dry moon.
It was much simpler in my college days when we just shot the moon. Today we'd be arrested and parloled as sex offenders.

I used to irritate the hell out of my kid by singing "There's a bathroom on the right". Problem now is that I can't unhear it that way and it's never going to be right again.

When I was hiking a ton, I would leave my wife a highlighted map, travel plan, and I would text from every summit. She asked me at one point how long should she wait to send a rescue, and I told her that none of that was for a rescue, it was so she could find my body if she chose to look for it. As I am biodegradable, I told her the decision to look or not was up to her. That is the level of support I deemed appropriate.

In all honesty, I was (I thought) obviously kidding when I said stalker. Men and women typically look at risk and safety very differently, and where he may seem very overprotective from a guy perspective, his wife might be nervous enough that she really welcomes that level of care. I know from her previous threads that she has aggressive goals and limited time, so I really just think he is supporting.

Cherry picking season is finished. Around 75 tonnes picked from the same orchards that returned around 40 tonnes last year. So it's been a very good year for us when other orchards on the Australian eastern seaboard have suffered fairly significant losses.
One of the oddest parts about all this is that cherry tree yield depends very much on what is called 'cold units", where the temperatures during winter have to be below a certain point (close to freezing) over quite defined periods of time for the tree to decide that it will produce sufficient fruit the next summer.
