Enjoying last 2 or 3 mold New England weather guess it's about time for reality check. :ashamed:

It looks like it's trying to snow, the low was 22* this morning. They are saying a mix of clouds and sun, with a high in the 40's and 20-30 mph wind. The next few days look about the same.

Don't have any plans for the next few days. The neighbor called last night and said that he is going to pick up the elk and drop if it off tonight. That will save me a trip to town.

Hope everyone has a nice day.
CWB.

Slept in layzboy. Trouble getting to sleep, so slept in.
Wife took a job today, so home alone.
Am currently udometerless, i also forget them and they break.
Maybe rain later, then all day rain tomorrow. Weather guessers now show wintery mix saturday.

Felt better yesterday. Even made it to bible study last night. I go every suday and wed, but havent been there since my surgery.
Just got a call, new treadmill being delivered next week. Wife will be happy.

Feel like the boy who called wolf, i keep telling work i might be able to come in, then can't make it.

Ordered longer cables so my stereo components can reach the new receiver. Got things working now, so it will stay.

Nice mower drew.

39.6 this morning high of 48 today 64 tomorrow. Rain moving in today maybe an inch maybe more, we sure do need it.

Cold next week but moderating nicely by end of next week till about the 25th or so then as the mild streak begins. Then another brutally cold time sets up so the cold is not done by any means. The coast will likely see more snow and interior New England as well.

Prayers sent for Riptides Buckeyefarmer and Toppop and all others silent requests

I "religiously" follow weather systems modeled to impact on the NE CONUS this time of year.

Your timeframes correlate with different weather models predictions for a decent weather system January 20 - 23 timeframes. Some models are reflecting a potential weather system January 16 - 18 which does not make sense to me due to the timing.

I am concerned about the tail end of this pending rain (for me) weather system tonight/tomorrow changing over to a frozen/freezing precipitation event on Saturday.

 

[Buppies]

No jbrumberg I do not have it hooked up to weatherunderground not sure if I will still pondering on it

You went thru a lot glad you are still here

 

[Buppies]

Nice mower Drew my allergies would not let me run that

 

[sodamo]

66°F and .01 inches rain

Nice mower Drew.

Nothing major planned, continue piddling around and clean up.

Be safe
Have a great day

57F and cloudy @ 11:00, according to the WB forecast it might make it up another degree or so before it tops out.

Snow has all melted at this point ... except for spots where I piled it up.

Just opened garage door to "warm" the inside of the garage ... may not even to turn on a heater ... but I imagine I probably will anyways.

Need to put together a cut list once I've woken up and had my coffee ... they are calling for rain within the next couple of hours, so I'll probably carry all the cut pieces down into the basement through the house by hand.

Will cut the boards to length out in the garage with the cut-off saw, then move all of it downstairs into the utility room and do the dado cuts with a hand-held circular saw down there to make the notches in the uprights.

I picked up fifteen 2 x 4 x 8's and eight 2 x 4 x 104 1/2" precuts ... the precuts looked like they might have been outside at some point and may have gotten wet (were a little darker) ... they will probably need to dry some before they can be painted. The eight footers look dry ... so they can be painted pretty quickly after I get them notched.

Have to go into town later to pick up a prescription.

Buppies- Thanks. It was definitely a "life changing event." I was/am very lucky to still be talking down to rather than up to the grass; helps me put "life" in perspective.

My PWS was on WeatherUnderground for a while. I found it disadvantageous (wife) to keep the computer on all the time. My weather system timeframes now make since since I used this Month's calendar rather than last month's. I will not afflict the readers here with weather maps (like I do at some drone site thread).

 

[rswyan]

Really nice.

Thanks Kyle.

Like I was saying earlier, it's not really a display tank ... so it doesn't have that antiseptic, sterile look to it ...

But there is lots of Life in there.

The tank will have to be torn down, have pretty much everything removed from it, and drained down to where there are only a couple of inches of water in it in order to get the fish out, as they are so fast that it would be next to impossible to do so otherwise. Too many hiding places. The all the plants and structure, and the fish I keep, will get put into a newly set up 20G Long. When I do that, the gravel in the current tank will get a thorough cleaning, which is long overdue.

I was relieved to get out at first daylight and see the fence posts went in yesterday pretty close to where I wanted them. Today is more challenging, putting in new posts along the boundary with my difficult neighbour. I've tried to explain to him a few times what I intended to do, but to no avail. The last time he was out walking dogs with his wife and we were doing the same. His wife started to listen to me, but he turned round and walked off in the opposite direction, screaming obscenities at the top of his voice.
Most people would be quite happy to see a replacement stock fence going up without it costing them a penny :confused3:

Eric,

I know I would be ... :thumbsup:

 

[rswyan]

Nice fish pic RS, calming just looking at it.

Thanks Drew.

Lots more please.

Will do ... but it will probably be a few weeks.

Seventy degrees out today and going to put a coat of wax on the new mower, makes it easier to keep clean. ...

Drew,

That's a really awesome rig that you picked up.

Hindsight being 20/20, I often wish I had taken the money I spent on the MMM ($3,000) for the B2910 and used it as a downpayment on an F-series.

Nothing like having a dedicated mowing machine ... :thumbsup:

Putting a coat of wax on it is smart move IMO.

 

[rswyan]

... Nice fish picture RS. ...

Ron,

Thanks.

Good to hear you got that exhaust vent for your furnace fixed ... sounded like it could present a potential CO hazard.

You don't wanna mess around with that.

 

[jbrumberg]

rswyan- Are those fish cichlids? I like your tank setup. Maintaining an aquarium is a lot of work; building one even more so. I for one would like ongoing pictures.

after heaving thirty bags of cow manure into the field and putting away ten bags of 10-10-10 and three huge bags of potting soil,
my back is most unhappy. Despite the fact it just started raining, it's still 64 out and nice. Was 67 earlier.

good thing I had autoleveling on the truck, think I got to the limit today. It groaned a little...sure rode nice though going home.

then I waxed the mower and soaked the plastic parts in 303. Looking quite spiffy, it got put away to wait until March. Put 14 gallons of diesel in it, slurp, plus some diesel conditioner. Manual is adamant about not running the mower until it has warmed up, not for the engine but for the hydraulics. Time and time again warnings in the manual. Ok. Apparently starting it up in low temps, not advancing the throttle beyond idle and stomping on the pedal is not good for the pump.

How do you like the 303 ?

 

[jerrybob]

50F currently.......lots of heavy rain.........according to our gage........2.5 inches since last night at 9pm. Rain to continue.....we have a high wind warning......won't be dropping any trees today.

Ron,

Thanks.

Problem was not a CO hazard. Under certain weather conditions the high humidity exhaust could be sucked into intake. Causing intake to freeze closed. No intake air makes furnace shut down. I added 18” to the exhaust pipe.

Spent some time outside. Pond has open water again. But do not see any fish.
Used my Harbor Freight portable band saw to cut up shipping frame from chipper. Made quick work cutting the angle iron in pieces.
Watched the crew work on drive across street.
