Good morning!!!!

PJSprog · Dec 9, 2017

28°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 38° today.

Donating a Saturday morning to the cause this morning. Boss asked if I could come in for a few hours to help out with some troublesome Woods parts. Still not awake yet. Come on, tea, kick in already.

Company Xmas party is tonight. I couldn't make it last year, so this will be my first one here.

Good morning! 34˚ clear skies. There is still snow in the shaded places. Today's project is clear the paver drive from yesterday's limb drop. Time wise, it's a toss up between the chain saw and hooking up the grapple on this project but as we all know when it's close use the tractor.

Heater was turned off Thursday and the WBS has been going continuously since then, inside temp a tropical 70˚.
Starting tomorrow back to Hawaii winter weather. The snow has been fun but you can only have so much fun.

It should be 60˚ by 2PM so that's my target time to start limb removal.

My parents standard poodle had a sweater to wear in the winter time and she actually waited on you to put it on before she would go outside

they are supposed to be exceptionally smart dogs and excellent pets. One I'm thinking about...

Good morning, all.

Current temp 8, going to a high of 19 Wind ENE 11mph.

Another 2-4" coming today, the weatherman claims. Maybe it will turn into another 16".

The 1-3 cm roughly translated 1-1.5" turned into 16". I went out and plowed everybody out (3 hrs), by the time I got back to the house another 2" had fallen. I had quick supper at 4 P.M. and went back out and finished in the dark. I am going to have to go out again this morning and do the fiddly parts here that I couldn't do in the dark (5 P.M.).
The person with the biggest place to plow out is on disability pension and has been for the 24 years I have lived here. 5 heart attacks and cancer beaten once, doesn't have a lot of money, but he pays me what he can.....He offered me 40 bux yesterday to catch him up on last seasons' plowing. I told him that it was Christmas and to spend that on one or more of the grandkids. I don't take money off anybody in December. A cheap Christmas present. I plow them out and it only costs me a little time and some fuel.

A woman down the road from my disabled buddy wanted me to blow her mile long laneway, she saw me two years ago with a blower on and assumed I was blowing. Nope, not this winter. I did put her onto the guy that has a tractor mounted blower across the street from me. She was offering $50.oo and more if needed.

Stay safe people.

Not that one, but I did see a split window VW buss go for just under $100K earlier this year at a Mecam's auction. By comparison, that guy got a heck of a great deal. I'd never heard of a Z8, but no surprise Jobs would have one. Nice car, but I wouldn't own another BMW from that era. Too much to break.:laughing:
