Good morning! It doesn't look like the new year is going to move at any slower pace than last year, how can it be the 4th of Jan already?
Dave, yes, there is a "sleeve" for the vent hose that fits in the window. But since Jane wanted the unit closer to her kitchen we vented it out thru her patio door via the doggie door. Good luck with the A-fib, our good friend at church has had 2 cardioaversersions done to get her's under control. It's much better but still out of whack some.
Kathie, I know the shut in's enjoyed being sung too last night! Smart move staying out of the crowded van. Hope your Sil feels better soon!
Lee, as I type this I am looking out at a bright blue skie with lot's of sunshine! Still a bit on the cooler side but I promise there is no snow or ice on the roads! Cute pic of Ava, you just think she's reading a book, don't be surprised to find a "Chewy" order waiting on the front step when you get in. 
Mike, I'm running low on cookies for my coffee, if you have a few you want to send south I'd be happy to take them off your hands. Was last night your night with the Tierneys?
Well, I'm 0 for 3 on microwaves! The new one has been acting up off & on with the door not wanting to open when it's done. I was able to reset the child lock most times & get it to open. Thurs night it just did not want to open no matter what I did. I could hear the latch release but not all the way. Finally got the door open and decided I wasn't going to fool with it anymore, so back to Sam's club it went.
Got Jane's A/C unit hooked up, of course the project wasn't as simple as expected but it's done for now, not that she will be needing it anytime soon!
Got all my outside lights down & put away yesterday so now I get to just relax & putter today. Have a great day all & STAY WARM!
