Good morning!!!!

[mostly_gas]

Good evening all. 44F this morning overcast with light wind. Temps held even or dropped during the day, rain began 1PM. This morning built last "small" fire to cure paint in the stove, and finished the wood splitting and put new camo tarp over firewood. This afternoon wife and I went to town to run errands, which included new hardware to remount mantle, updated from flip to smart phone :ashamed: and dinner with wife :thumbsup: Had a small fire in insert tonight, warmed the living room very nicely

Wife made it home with meat safely.. Daughter met her in town and they had dinner, wife brought me some home... mmm-good, without the hassle of going out...

Weather people are going crazy, boring weekend and then the next storm comes in Tuesday with warm temps and rain. Massive flooding and doom predicted.

Belated happy birthday to both Lynns :drink:

Buppies, good luck with your surgeries, prayers sent!

Drew always enjoy hearing about your adventures :2cents:

RNG what is the max lake level there at Oroville lake? The website showed the current level @ 850 msl. Hope you are as happy with Internet down the road ad you are now.

Don, sorry about your no day :yuck:

PJ hope you get the termite issue sorted and remodel finished

Anyone ever hear from Ed? Larro?

Tech replaced the batteries in the LR fireplace and the thermocouple and thermopile in the master suite. Forgot that the LR unit even had batteries, lasted 10 years. Piece of the service call covered both units so not so bad, $145 and both units now working. Of course the temps will stay up, but hey, ambiance

Wife and I treated selves to the seafood buffet at one of the local hotels. Gosh, I remember complaining when it was $26 each and now it's $46. Wife says it's not so bad when she thinks of it feeding 4. She talks the meat carver into giving her the fat trimmings from the roast beef for our boxers. She gets enough to feed the 2 of them twice. More than I like to spend but a good time in a great setting with the person I like most to be with. Totally worth it

Sounds like fun.
Back in the 90's wife and I went to the Miami boat show. Spent a couple days wandering around in awe. Parents had a 17ft fiberglass runabout with a 45 horse Merc when I was growing up, quite a difference.

All those who enjoy playing in the snow would be disappointed if they lived here. Rain clouds came over in the night and removed all trace of it ever being below freezing.

This came yesterday, all the way from the USA.


As a concession to my aging right shoulder, which does not share the pleasure the rest of me gets from hand filing, this little Granberg motorised jig is going to take over most of the chain sharpening from now on.

RNG, sounds like the lashing you took a few days ago has helped the push to get a better internet connection. Fewer $ for more zero's and one's - a digital case of the old saying "It's an ill wind that does nobody no good"

Drew, helping someone else buy a boat must be as good as it gets for someone who enjoys all things that float. Did you leave your own cheque book at home, or are you relying on willpower to avoid temptation ?

This 36 degree rain is supposed to turn to sleet this morning. Today and tonight in the 30s.

Buppies, sorry to hear about the ear.

Drew, looks like the way folks fly down I-95 up here is just practice for the real thing in Miami.

David, nice way to think about and better enjoy your meal with your wife.

Eric, is there room on your pillow for that tool, too? Please let me know how it performs. I'm still using a 30 year old clamp-on file guide, which seems to do an adequate job, but sometimes I think about alternatives.
