Mine are in the tanks just don’t want to plug them in.

Could you put them on timers or thermostats.

They have tstats but without insulation when it’s cold Nipsco loves me

Speaking for Dad's stock tank heater, that is waay to elaborate of a set up. It's more do I plug it in yet or not. We built an insulated box that does well.

As someone who has had to bust ice, that thin layer of ice has always been my "well, s***" plug in indicator. $$$

We leave them plugged in for the Winter. Too many buckets and heaters, and the animals like the warmer water.

I can’t insulate it’s a multi species water trough

A little out of the NWI area but figure you Far East folks could chime in any must do/see/eat in Laporte area? Must visit outdoor / gun stores?

Maple City Sports closed. The two shops in town are Rural King and Dunham's. Archie's on the east side of town has good reviews

Highs in the 30s and lows in the 20s are pretty normal Winter weather around here.

Average high is 32. Being above average is not abnormal

Not too many years ago we had 68 degrees on New Year’s Eve, only to wake up the next morning to 30’s and blowing snow, so the weather around here can be a fickle B!tch…..

When did Maple City close?

A few months ago. I went there over the summer and the owner told me he was going to retire

 

[Ballstater98]

2 shows, 1 weekend?

When retiring, why would a business owner just close and not sell the business?

Did that last year too. It definitely hurt attendance both visitors and vendors

The only robot allowed in my house. People say they don’t work great I use and empty mine daily. it is definitely working.

We've been using iRobots for at least 15 years. Probably on our 4th one. One of our twins who complained about dust but would never touch a broom or vacuum said it was crazy at first, then after about 2 weeks allowed as how it was working out pretty well. Our semi-monthly cleaning lady was skeptical at first but later said it was working pretty well. We are on at least our 4th one now. This one is the app-enabled one that self-empties into its base station.

Happens all the time. Owner/operator is tired out and doesn't believe there is a market of potential buyers to take it over. We just had a 50-year old restaurant in Leesburg close even though it was popular. Owners were tired of running it and (I understand) tried to sell it without interest.

That must be it - they tried to sell it and it didn't work out. Otherwise I don't get it. I know a guy in town here that starts a business, builds it up and then sells it. He has done this three times now. He was making money when he was building up the businesses but nowhere even close to what he made when he sold them - that is where he made his fortune.

Got a lot of errands run today. Built some rolling multi-rack thing that is collapsible for her scrapbooking trips. Supposedly, it is a big deal. Got some hooks hung in the garage to get rid of the umbrella stand. Neighbor wanted it for her office, so I put it in their garage. Off to help out at the kid's wrestling practice...
