Joining my first one in 20 minutes. Way behind on some other work so with any luck I'll be done before said meeting. It's not looking good.

So here's a new one, thanks to USPS. I have a package that started in Middletown, PA. Then it went to Lancaster, PA, Warrendale, PA, Youngstown, OH, then all the way back to Lancaster. Not sure I'm ever gonna get that one.

I've never had one come from eastern PA, into OH, then all the way back to its farthest point before, to a place it had already been. Not sure what that's all about, gotta be a glitch in their system somewhere.

Perhaps the folks in the Lancaster sorting facility were so nice, the package just wanted to drop in for another visit.

Dave, I think the best heater for your garage is going to be a radiant. Perched right in front of you. If a fan is running it will feel cold.

Radiant is what we have now. The fan one worked alright, in concept. The fan WAS blowing hot air, and if you put your hand near it, you could certainly feel the warmth. It just didn't project well. I need one of those big ass ones you see on NFL sidelines in December and January. :D

Kinda like the tiny one I have on my desk. It's a fan, and it blows hot air quite nicely. But since it's not 20 degrees in here, it works well.

Yeah I would have installed a unit heater in my garage but unless I put in a drop ceiling it makes no sense. I have a lot of storage and access to my attic through my attached garage that I don't want to lose. Spring, Summer, and Fall it's quite the Man Cave.

Same here, everything but winter is great. Winter is bearable enough that I'll still have a smoke, but not as often as during the other 3 months.

MOW's are always a reliable smoke.  Had tried a number of the Matilde's a while back including the Renacer.  Flavor profile not in my wheelhouse.  Not that you shouldn't give them a try for $20.

Today is Thursday, Jan. 14, the 14th day of 2021.
There are 351 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:
On Jan. 14, 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and French General Charles de Gaulle opened a wartime conference in Casablanca.

On this date:
In 1784, the United States ratified the Treaty of Paris ending the Revolutionary War; Britain followed suit in April 1784.
In 1858, Napoleon III, Emperor of the French, and his wife, Empress Eugenie, escaped an assassination attempt led by Italian revolutionary Felice (fay-LEE’-chay) Orsini, who was later captured and executed.
In 1914, Ford Motor Co. greatly improved its assembly-line operation by employing an endless chain to pull each chassis along at its Highland Park, Michigan, plant.

In 1963, George C. Wallace was sworn in as governor of Alabama with the pledge, “Segregation forever!” [–] a view Wallace later repudiated.
In 1964, former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, in a brief televised address, thanked Americans for their condolences and messages of support following the assassination of her husband, President John F. Kennedy, nearly two months earlier.
In 1968, the Green Bay Packers of the NFL defeated the AFL’s Oakland Raiders, 33-14, in the second AFL-NFL World Championship game (now referred to as Super Bowl II).

In 1970, Diana Ross and the Supremes performed their last concert together, at the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas.
In 1972, the situation comedy “Sanford and Son,” starring Redd Foxx and Demond Wilson, premiered on NBC-TV.
In 1975, the House Internal Security Committee (formerly the House Un-American Activities Committee) was disbanded.

In 1994, President Bill Clinton and Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed an accord to stop aiming missiles at any nation; the leaders joined Ukrainian President Leonid Kravchuk in signing an accord to dismantle the nuclear arsenal of Ukraine.
In 2010, President Barack Obama and the U.S. moved to take charge in earthquake-ravaged Haiti, dispatching thousands of troops along with tons of aid.
In 2013, Lance Armstrong ended a decade of denial by confessing to Oprah Winfrey during a videotaped interview that he’d used performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France.

Ten years ago: In an unprecedented popular uprising, Tunisian protesters enraged over soaring unemployment and corruption drove President Zine El Abdine Ben Ali (ZEEN ehl AH’-bih-deen behn-ah-LEE’) from power after 23 years of iron-fisted rule. A funeral was held for U.S. District Judge John Roll, who was among six people killed in the Tucson, Arizona, shooting rampage that wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The national Republican Party ousted chairman Michael Steele and chose Wisconsin party chief Reince Priebus (ryns PREE’-bus) to lead in the run-up to the 2012 presidential race.


Five years ago: During a Republican presidential debate in North Charleston, South Carolina, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz clashed over the Texas senator’s eligibility to serve as commander in chief and the businessman’s “New York values.” Chicago city attorneys released a grainy 2013 surveillance video showing the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old Black carjacking suspect by a white police officer. Attackers set off suicide bombs and exchanged gunfire outside a Starbucks cafe in Indonesia’s capital Jakarta in a brazen assault that left seven people dead. Actor Alan Rickman, 69, died in London. Rene Angelil, 73, singer Celine Dion’s husband and manager, died at his suburban Las Vegas home.


One year ago: As House Democrats prepared to send articles of impeachment to the Senate for the trial of President Donald Trump, they released a trove of documents obtained from a close associate of Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, including a handwritten note that mentioned asking Ukraine’s president to investigate “the Biden case.” Iran said authorities had made arrests for the accidental shootdown of a Ukrainian passenger plane by an Iranian missile. “Jeopardy” viewers saw veteran Ken Jennings beat James Holzhauer and Brad Rutter to capture the $1 million prize in the fourth night of the show’s “Greatest of All Time” tournament.
