Well, I just did "it" again! Drats!
Winterizing that is! Yea! Really!
Temps have been pretty nice in Indiana the last few weeks. I think everyone thought old man winter finally left! But no! That weather man on television said Sunday morning (tomorrow) should be around 28 degrees. I wouldn't be concerned about winterizing again if it was warmer in the day time and dipped to 28 over night. But today, it's just been dang cold, windy and absolutely yucky weather.
Considering the temps are already low, the trailer and all the pipes are already cold, I don't think it would take much to get them frozen now. So, rather than risk frozen pipes, I went shopping for some more Pink Stuff and couldn't find any. So I fell back to plan "B". I simply blew out the lines this time and opened the low point drains.
I had a small amount of "pink" from last fall left. I used that in the P-traps.
At least when we get ready for our next trip in about a week, I won't have flush the pink from the lines! Makes me glad I know how to winterize both ways!
Dang weather! Grass needs mowing now, and several folks around me have already mowed their grass. Just this last week I removed the snow blower from my John Deere tractor and put the mower deck back on. Looks like I should have kept the snow blower on a little longer instead! I haven't mowed MY grass yet! Maybe it will freeze and simply break off!
Thanks for letting me rant!
