    A redbox rental! made some popcorn and movie night last night was hunkering down before the storm. However the last item I purchased that I received (delivery arrived last night) was new snow pants!! I am so excited! I was using the same pair for years and years (decades?) and they had started to fail...so last year I was using extra pairs my husband had...I decided it was time to get my own. I still have to try them on, they look like they may be a bit snug...but if they fit enough so I can wear them, all the more motivation to drop a couple inches. I am even more excited because they arrived just in time, three snow storms in 6 days...we've already gotten 4 inches of new snow on top of the icy sleet from the other day, with fluffy snow still coming down through the rest of the day...and two more storms lining up behind. :smiley:

    For the 11yo treadmill.. surprised the original belts lasted this long.

    I would like to do some maintenance and repair on my old treadmill. Do you have any pointers on tutorials to look at?

    YouTube.. 😂
    (YouTube vid sometimes only have "generic how to replace")


    See if you have the original manual is a plus. If not search online, for the "parts" list in the manual (to make sure you order the right part). Bonus if it has exploded diagram so you can see how to get to the parts you need to replace.

    Maintenance wise.. not much to it. Check walking belt if you see any cuts or visual damage. Lubricate the walking belt (note. some make/model doesn't recommend additional lubricant).

    Check rollers for tangled hair or other debris.

    New battery for the key fob for my car.

    Replacement filter for the dishwasher.

    Garage door maintenance.

    Easy fixes, but does everything have to malfunction at once?! (No need to answer that, Universe.)

    Sounds like an ideal arrangement!

    I ordered some silicone zipper bags to use with the Sous Vide cooking feature on my new Frigidaire double wall oven. I sold my old Foodsaver food sealing unit years ago because I could never get the model I chose to make a perfect seal I trusted. Plus the bags are pretty expensive over time. Someone on my low-carb food recipe blog mentioned the re-usable silicone zip bags this week and how well they worked for Sous Vide cooking. I'd never heard of them or seen them in my stores. I had some ordered from 'W & P' in less than an hour. They're on sale a few dollars off right now BTW. Looking forward to trying Sous Vide cooking because I've never tasted food cooked that way! The person recommending the bags said pork chops cooked Sous Vide come out so tender and moist, can't wait to try them.

    A dress from Ross two days ago. I went in to purchase something else and the dress caught my eye. I was skeptical, but I bought it, then came home and tried it on and absolutely love it. It's a casual dress, not a fancy dress. It's perfect!

    Some fancy Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. It should arrive in about three days. I’m interested to see if it’s any better than what I can just buy at the local grocery store.

    Haha this reminds me when we'd go with my dad to appointments when he had cancer my brother and I once saw the drawer marked lube. So everytime we'd go we take a pic of us taking lube or whatever the strangest thing we could find was. My poor dad...patience of a saint

    Dare Veggie Crisps

    And now I'm feeling like I might not be a grown-up after all because I have NO idea what Sous Vide cooking is. Although if it's a meat thing my ignorance may be forgivable since I don't eat meat.

    Wife and I went Estate Sale shopping yesterday. Amongst other items, I picked up a digital Health-O-Meter bathroom scale that features weight tracking for 2 people. Works great, far better than our 30 year old analog scale. At $1.50, can't beat the price either.
