It is currently 5F here. We're looking for a high temperature of 15F, but even with the bright sunny day, we may not see that. Makes tomorrow's high of 34F sound like something to look forward to.
I had my teeth cleaned this morning. Ugh. Only a very superficial job today, the tech will have another crack at it in a month or so. X-rays confirmed what I already knew: two teeth on the right need caps, one on the left needs a crown recemented, and one back molar can just be pulled out as far as I'm concerned. Ideally, I'd be in the hospital, knocked out, and get it all done at one time, but insurance won't cover that. I don't know why not, it seems to me it would be cheaper and better for the patient (oh wait, they don't care about patients, LOL).
I'm taking the Kia back to the shop today. The heat still isn't working properly, and in this cold I need it to work. At least we pretty much know what the problem is. There is a leak in the reserve antifreeze tank, or in a hose below that. When the tank is empty, the only time heat is generated is when you have your foot on the accelerator pedal. At a stop light, you get ice cold air. They've replaced the tank once, so this will be round two. At least it's merely inconvenient, the repair is covered under warranty.
I sure hope the plants in FL are surviving the cold snap.

Put some socks on.
ReplyDeleteActually, I found a pair of mine and may wear them more often since they also serve as floor mops for dust... my Villa Villekulla way of living.
Honestly, I don't know how you have survived this long with that Kia heater the way it is/was. I hope it is finally fixed. If you weren't in the cold Northeast your teeth wouldn't chatter and break. Heck, maybe you'll pass out from hypothermia on the way to the dentist! He can do the work then warm you back up before you drive home?
The heater seems to be fixed now. They had to bleed all the air out of the system, which was the problem the second time around - the first time it was a leak in the reserve tank, which they tell me is now a known problem with my year/model.
ReplyDeleteAnd now that I have heat, it's 70F!!
