Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Good Morning!
Temperature this fine frosty morning is a cool 2F and going to a high of 19 with a 30% chance of snow to add to the 2" we got yesterday. Wind WNW 10mph.

I've been a busy boy preparing for winter. I got the new portable garage up on the platform from the old garage-in-a-box. I had to extend one side of the platform a couple of feet.

I went and picked up my new ride on lawn tractor 2 weeks ago and promptly cut the back yard over the septic tank down to 4" I will rake it in the spring.
The mower and lawn sweeper fit perfectly on the old boat trailer I converted into a float. I will make a ramp for them in the spring. Right now I drive the lawn mower with the sweeper attached across a couple of 2x10 planks and onto the trailer. Getting off will be a challenge, but nothing I can't handle.

We had a bit of a scare with the dog. Turns out she is diabetic. She lost about 10 pounds before we noticed she was losing weight. Checked her sugar and and it was abnormally high....18 where it should be about 7. We've got her on Lantis insulin now. 10 units twice a day, morning and evening. Once we get her regulated then we will cut the insulin down. Her losing weight will be a good thing, to a point. She was 95 lbs, which I think is a little heavy for a Border Collie and Golden Retriever cross. She is slowly getting some of her old drive back and not sleeping as much.

That is it, a total update from in October when I was on here last.

Have a good day all.

2 degrees Bill, Brrrrrrr. Winter sure is here.

Leaves are everywhere, magnolias are pretty but you have to clean up after them.

this recent rain should have helped my grass seed, nothing like a two day drizzling rain.

Glad you found the problem with your dog and she is feeling better.

Good morning! 50˚ cloudy heading to 65 as the Norther fizzles out.

Drew glad your meds are finally kicking in. Last time I felt like a tooth needed pulling the dentist said it was my sinus. Of course I did not have a swollen face.

The window guy came out yesterday and broke out the second pane of the double pane window to install the new double pane window. We are now ready for the cold weather. I took the window $420 invoice to the insurance agent and before I got home I got a recording that my claim is being processed.

40 going to 44. Very foggy earlier, burning off well as the wind has picked up...19 or 20 tonight.

Looking4new, glad you found your dog's problem...I didn't know dogs could have diabetes.

BEF, sorry to hear you need surgery.

Eric, nice looking gun and cleaning set. My FIL shoots an old Browning A5 12 gauge and loves it. Most of our hunting requires a 12...mine is a Benelli 3.5 inch, occasional bird hunting with a 20.

25°F and mostly clear skies this morning, going up to 43° today. Chilly, but no frost this morning.

Looks like a fantastic setup, Eric. I've never shot a 28ga. When my Wife was looking at shotguns before we were married, we looked at 20ga, 28ga, and .410. She knew she didn't like any 12ga she'd ever shot, and wanted something more manageable for her small size (just under 5'2" and 115 lbs). She rented a few at a local indoor range, and decided on 20ga. I bought her a Remington 870 Express youth model. She liked it, but wanted a little more weight out front, so I found a slightly longer barrel for it. I also bought a 20ga Lee Loadall and loaded some low-recoil rounds for her. She loves it. It's now her go-to gun for critter problems.

Sunrise over Clinton County IL this morning. Have a great day, fellas.

The low this morning was 34*, yesterday's high was in the mid 50's. Today's going to be in the low 50's and partly cloudy. Might get some wind also.

daugen.. Glad the meds are doing their job.

Eric.. That looks like a nice setup. I have a Savage model 24 over and under, 22 mag and 20 ga. It's a fun gun to shot, I hope you have fun with yours.

I told a neighbor that I would feed her animals for a few days. But the way she does it is a lot of work. And she isn't very organized. Something that should take 20 minutes is going to take about a hour.

Hope everyone has a nice day.
CWB.

Be safe
Have a great day

28F and cloudy with the occasional snow squall. Overnight low last night hit 26F. Looks like we will have chilly temps for the next several days before it warms back up into the 40's and eventually a high of 50F by next Friday.

Spent a good part of the last couple of days working on a friend's driveway which had erosion problems and was in pretty rough shape.

That friend is stopping by here in a bit to give me a hand lifting the LPGS frame back up on the welding table.

Back into winter mode ...
