Triple-T For March 24th

It’s time again for Ten Things Tuesday!

  1. One really nice thing about big snowstorms near the end of March is that I can justify waiting for it to melt rather than dragging out the snowblower. The sun will surely be shining the next day.
  2. The other nice thing about big snowstorms near the end of March is that they are very wet snows and we definitely need the moisture.
  3. I cranked up the pressure on my CPAP machine (used to treat sleep apnea) and have really liked the results. It took quite a while to find something online that would tell me how to adjust the pressure setting. While doing the search, I found that my machine went out of production the month after I bought it.
  4. We’ve had some visitors from the eastern part of the United States (one from Connecticut) and sometimes it takes visitors to help appreciate the beauty we have around us.
  5. There are some fabulous canyons to the east of Logan. On Saturday afternoon before Ashlyn and Eric’s wedding reception, Nina and I drove up to the Hardware Ranch State Wildlife Management Area. It was a beautiful 15 mile drive through the canyon. We will definitely go back sometime. By the way, it’s interesting to me that the visitor’s center for the ranch is only open in the winter, and is now closed for the summer and fall.
  6. I’m wondering about, and doing some research, on what can be done so that I might be able to avoid going into a nursing home as my health deteriorates in my old age. Looking around my house it is clear that it’s only good for reasonably able bodied folks.
  7. One of my nieces said yesterday that she could see no value in algebra as it is never used outside of school. I’ve been making notes of the times that I’ve used algebra since then. I have surprised myself and have begun to wonder what people do when they don’t know algebra. It’ll be a blog post one of these days.
  8. Car shopping is not fun. It seems that all the advantage is with the dealership. Being a one-car family is going just OK. Nina and I have to do a lot more schedule coordination than before.
  9. I’m hooked again on the Wheel of Time fantasy series. The final (?) volume in the series is rumored to be available by Christmas. I plan to finish rereading the entire series, all eleven plus the prequel, by the time the next volume is published.
  10. This marks the third installment of Triple-T. It’s also getting shorter! That’s likely a Very Good Thing.
