If you have to replace it it might be worth the extra work to use one of these.ahhhh, fudge. Sounds like we've got a hose bib that didn't make it. So now I gotta deal with that.
Unfortunately I had to drive my family down to Springfield Oregon Friday night so my daughter could play in a volleyball tournament. 256 high school club volleyball teams from at least 7 states showed up to compete. All week I kept expecting the organizers to cancel this event, but it never happened. We stayed in a Springfield Airbnb with 2 large Elm trees parked for the last 70+ years out in front of this home.
This morning I rolled out to defrost the car which took almost 30 minutes of scrapping and de-icier. It rained all day which built up a lot of ice on the trees.
The best was saved for last as the wind picked up this evening Mother Nature started pruning those massive Elms trees. It was a bit scary hearing huge limbs crash into the yard, roof and side of the house. Its so awesome that this 1950s Springfield Airbnb survived. More tournament play tomorrow & Monday. Hopefully we make back to our tropical oasis in Auburn Wa. Monday night. I will post some pics of the tree fall tomorrow. Here is a pic of the ice covered car.

Well I live at the west end of said gorge. Those numbers probably aren't far off.Fox 12 in Ptld is reporting wind gusts of 80 to 100 mph. in the gorge....also know as the great wind tunnel of the Northwest. What would that make wind chill? if the temp was 20 degrees. Makes me feel warm and cozy at home.
Having the same problem with the new puppy here.

I had a moment of panic yesterday when, after playing at the park for an hour and a half with my kids, I took them to 5 Guys for lunch. I was filling cups of water and my lightly asthmatic kid starting saying her throat closed up and she couldn’t breathe. I had forgotten all about that reaction to the huge temperature change thing and I was caught with no inhaler and no car (we had walked)! Thankfully, after sitting and sipping some water it passed quickly. Phew! Nothing like watching your kid get all red faced and not be able to breathe and feeling helpless as a parent. That temperature change reaction is a real thing!Yesterday 83* Playa Del Carmen.
Get home last nite 14*.
My lungs didn't like it.
