Also... there was a glitch, one day last week as B moved a wagonload of wood up here. Lift basket tilted while travelling up. We were told the fix for this was lower the basket all the way down, and then let the winch reset itself as it spools up empty. I'm going to play with it some and see what it does. I have the troubleshooting guide and can call customer service. (Without a guarantee of getting a service person here from Texas any time soon.)
It's a REALLY simple machine and both B and I understand how it works. He's fixed more than one winch in his day. Pretty sure the lift basket had weight loaded to one side instead of balanced and that caused the problem. But the wagon he's using doesn't have brakes... LOLOL.
It's still quiet around here and even though Hol is tired of being here and alone, she seems to be managing herself pretty well. BF may be back from his trip in a couple of days. Her friend with the dogsitting need isn't well enough to make the long drive... and so Hol is just making "other plans" until they figure out what they're doing.
I've had a good bit of yucky sinus congestion. That in itself wouldn't be a big deal, but the high pressure is affecting my eyes. Mostly very watery, light sensitive, blurry vision with occasional stabbing pains. The right eye (first one) is the worst; very bloodshot & swollen too. I had anti-inflammatory & antibiotic drops left over, so reached for those. But my saline nasal spray and an ibuprofen has been faster relief. Yeah. I know. Call the doc. Except last week was Christmas and this week is NY's... and you KNOW there won't be reaching anyone in the office till the 5th.
It's been 2 months since the first eye surgery and a month since the right. And they didn't bother me at ALL until these weather fronts started playing hopscotch. Right over us. Guess I'm adding a cup o' Breathe Easy tea to my nighttime routine. For awhile anyway. I stocked up this past fall.
