Heating, Freezing, Watching And Fishing 24Jan19

The radiant heating system failed again... it was 45° in some parts of the Nest upon awaking... this time a pump seized and needed to be replaced. I called Countywide and Mike was quick and efficient to replace it. I prior identified the fail but nonetheless, with a system full of glycol under pressure, I was happy to pay for the repair. I also identified a suspect relay during debug... my Magnecraft 750XBXM4L in the control circuit seemed blown (likely from the overdraw from the seized pump). It was. I found a currently manufactured equivalent, the Tekmar 003, and even found it in inventory at a local wholesale electrical & plumbing supply. I replaced that and we are back and toasty again.

With 9" of new in Vail, I "passed" due to the drive over there and likely nightmare returning. I hit the local haunt with just 5" windblown in ~40mph winds and 15° temps. Keystone Summit chair stopped twice on wind and ran 1/2 speed for a third of it. I was undaunted and headed to North Pk via Diamondback. Outback held the best stashes due to wind directions and I enjoyed a decent, if not cold, morning grabbing a quick 15K through the trees (to avoid the wind).

 Cory shared a tasty dubl red laced with raspberry and chili during lunch.

I watch movies via streaming services and typically enjoy higher quality offers from writers, directors and actors. I used to "google" "best movies on Netflix now" and the like to assess what to watch next. IMDB is a great database to aid in quality assessment once the current list was determined (Google & Collider shown). Yet, I recently discovered ReelGood, offered as an app and a website. This app is perfect for me despite its flaws - I can set which streaming services to search, I can set genre (sci-fi often for me), I can set release date, I can set Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB rating, etc. - and the app sorts the stuff and tells me what's on and even allows me to set up a watchlist. Perfect function - UI just OK. I still use IMDB to dive in but I bet I'll no longer issue searches for "best TV...".

I'm still planning the post-runoff (~Jul19) Rocky Mtn fishing trip and I expect it'll follow the "Fly Highway," Route #20 through WY, MT, ID and OR...
