Good morning!!!!

[Thomas]

Man what a storm. 170 km/hour (105 mph) winds in some places, with 30 centimetres of snow caused wide spread power outages. Our power was not restored for three days. Early morning around 3a.m. the stormed turned to pelting rain dropping the snow levels but turn much of the snow to slush which continually clogged the shoot of my tractor's snowblower. I ended up using the bucket to do my snow removal route for it was easier then continuously unclogging the blower.

4F actual, -14F windchill, and mostly cloudy @ 08:30, overnight low was -3F.

Headed up to the mid-20's for the day with some snow on the way in ... either later today or tomorrow. It will turn into a frozen mix by 09:00 - 10:00 on Monday.

Fell asleep on the couch for a couple of hours last evening, then woke up and haven't been able to get back to sleep since.

Mebbe a dishwasher repair, and a possible trip to Menard's or The Depot later once it warms up.

-1 now, but sun starting to come out.

Vehicle started. Gotta take boys to airport. Wife said she would take them, but i want to ride along.

Roy, what TV? I been looking at that size. I have a 52" sony projection tv, 10 yrs old. Recently replaced bulb. I have a better tv in basement. Seems costco samsungs go from 50" to 65", would like something in between. I need to redo my whole setup.
Have a big oak entertainment center, stereo rack on left with glass doors, then a tv area in center, with rolling doors that can close it. Drawer on bottom, and another CD upright drawer on right side. My projection TV was way too big to fit in, so it sits beside it. Both take up around 14' of wall space.
Wife keeps lots of pictures and candles on top.
Like i said yesterday, buying the 1 new receiver is going to lead to a major rework of the FR, but it hasn't changed in 20 yrs except for adding the tv 10 yrs ago. Whole house needs painted inside, all original paint when built. I hesitate because i have stained wood trim, lots of work to tape off.

Well, better get ready to go.

Be sure to check actual dimensions of new TV. A 55" new screen TV may be smaller than your 52". We had a 65" Mitsubishi projection TV with in it's own cabinet. We now have a 65" Vizio 65". Wish had waited another year. I could have gotten a 75" that would fit in same space. The 65" is mounted on a swing arm.

Eric, I have been trying to establish a hedge here, about 300 ft long, on the east side of the house. I have lilacs right now, I am going to put in rose of Sharon next. I致e seen pics of hedgerows in your country, they seem to be of several different types of plants? I don稚 plan to trim this thing much, I want it to grow up as a barrier. Any advice?

Hedges can take some work to build.

There are some good youtube videos on the process.

One thing that I've found a bit surprising...
Other then ONE snow mobile track in the snow (few miles north of here) and two machines being gassed up a week back, I've yet to see much in the way of snow mobiling this year. I'm not into it and don't own a snowmobile, but with the snow we have here in the Northeast seems to be optimal for the activity.
Maybe it's too cold...?

Same here Roy. We usually see snowmobiles on the 20 acres next to us. Nothing this year.
