Re: season change

i dont really, some people like witty have to use a chiller in the winter cuz his tank is near his heater, but same maintaince. I have to turn my heater down some b/c roomates keep the apt around 60-65 in the summer time and 70 in the winter so just maintain levels and you should be fine

Re: season change

Test and clean your heater(s). Using vinegar and a plastic pot scrubber works great. Make sure to rinse it off well.

Not for me.
Of course I am in FLA ( ) so that may be why.

Re: season change

Everybody needs their vitamin c. Plus what would you mix vodka with if there were no orange juice. LOL
Oh course there are down sides. Since I have lived in Florida since age 5, I have never made a snowman. How sad is that.
LOL
I know you guys hate the snow. To me it is neat.

Re: season change

The only problem I have with snow is having to shovel it all just to go to work. Doesn't seem fair! LOL

Re: season change

Actually Gina that was taken not too far from you. I have an office in Chantilly VA (near Dulles airport) and that was during one of my visits. It frequently snows while we are there, but always the wrong kind or on that day not enough. A friend from Minnesota helped me out so I had something.
