Heading to CT for a meeting...probably won't be home until 1800-1900...long day!

Good morning. I can feel by the warmth in the floor tiles that the thermostat has decided a bit of electric heating (from a ground source pump) is needed in what is normally the warmer part of the house. That's partially down to the constantly cooler weather and also because with visitors in the morning yesterday and then some more in the afternoon, I kept forgetting to stoke up the fire in the kitchen range.

The firebox door is solid black cast iron, so it's not obvious when walking past to see that the wood has all burnt away. Think I may add to my "one day when I fully retire" list, making a new steel door with a little glass window. Difficulty is keeping that list hidden from my wife, as she tends to see life's priorities somewhat differently to me

Good luck with the surgery Buckeye.

Good morning.

Temp is 19 and they say it will hit 46 with rain and some freezing rain Wind SE 13 gusting to 20 mph.
I took a peak at the long range forecast and it looks wet all week. Rain or showers every day.

Good morning all. 30 this morning going to 63 and sunny. Might do a little on wife's thread rack for the loom. Feeling lazy today so we will see.

Buckeye, Praying for you that your surgery goes well and recovery is swift.

Farmer, Watch DLH Farms pretty regular, enjoy it.

Have a great day. Ed

Sat down at computer and forgot to start coffee. :ashamed: 39° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 60° with mostly sunny skies. Awake too early this morning. Should be a good day to get some outside projects done. But winds are forecast to be in the 20's. Put tree trimming on hold. Sharpen chain saw chain and prep other tools for the project. Still going to do something outside. Hard-to pass up a outside day when it's going to be 60°.
Buppies, thanks for the weather report.
Buckeye, best wishes for a good operation and recovery.
Irv, hope getting back on your med's will make you feel better.
Kyle, there is a different car for each month. Going to nice look at them whenever I need the calendar.
Rick, I don't loan anything anymore unless I am going with it.
Good Morning All.

11F sky full of stars low 40's for high.
Think I'll start pickup before heading down to the grind.
Not much happens after 5pm because of darkness outside anymore.

Enjoy the day all.

28 going up to low sixties, repeat of yesterday.
Was smart and stopped chipping brush after two hours yesterday and got off my feet; much better last night without cramps.

Farmer, I can barely recognize tractors, combines not a chance. Usually if they start with a 9 it means they are the largest class?
Of course large is really the size of the combine head, right. Like tractors, these things can have 600hp engines in them now.
What's really funny is looking at old ads for the approx. 18hp Super A I'm considering, and it's pulling a hay baler, a little one for sure.

I wonder when tractors will go to Ten series. They've been stuck at 9 for awhile I think...Some marketing person will find that too limiting.
The farms East of here, in the wonderfully rich soil at the bottom of the Dismal Swamp area, between here and the coast, aren't the size of Western or Canadian farms but they are big and lots of 9 series JD, Massey and NH. Saw a well worn 9420 yesterday.

Lastest thing here for farmers is a group applying for licenses to grow hemp. I'm guessing this is for commercial production of CBD, cannabidiol, which I hope goes through since it's a plant based equivalent of one of the major arthritis drugs I take and has less side effects, like less drowsy. Yes the other part of the plant can be used for different things, hence the licensing, no idea how they control that. What I do know is the stuff works, and that's all I can write about that. I don't exactly live in the most progressive state............
