Good morning!!!!

[mostly_gas]

Good evening all. 28F for the start, overcast and windy. Stayed windy most of the day backing off some early afternoon, sky cleared to partly cloudy and the "high temp" was 39F. This morning was devoted to cleaning lady prep and staying ahead of her. Worked on new route for Saturday, went for coldest ride of the season so far, fingers were cold half the time. No nap today Have some outside projects later this week.
USPS have the most difficulties here, 4 streets differ only by east or west or north or south may have something to do with it.
Drew nice tractor, great view
LS that is quite a story on your daughter. Simply awesome , what she is trying to do.
PJ, good luck with your guitar project!!.
Prayers for all.

FedEx -USPS combo, believe they call it Smart Post. I try my best to avoid. Good tracking across the mainland, tends to die in Ca. Sometimes vacations a week to 10 days in Honolulu. The sad part is companies that don’t say that is the service until after it ships. I tend to follow up with an irritated email.

Good morning all, 37 going to 43 and partly sunny. 20-90% chance of wintery mix tonight. Guess it is time to get the blower out and make sure it is ready. Meeting today and then....??

Have a great day, prayers sent. Ed

2 and going to a high of 18F. Wind WNW 14 mph. Mainly sunny but a tad chilly.

WOW! That 3" kitchen drain pipe was plugged solid with grease and crud for about 20'. We replaced a 20' section AND put a clean out T in the line as well. That should make it good for another 24 years.

Next project, ummm I don't think I have another project except to keep the driveway open until spring. This is a good thing. Now I can get on with saving energy. Mine.

Have a good day all

40 going to 47. Sleet and heavy rain tonight.

Got a call from the nicest Medicare lady in Boston yesterday. She said my first name is misspelled in the Social Security system and they can't process my Medicare application until I go down to SS in person and show my driver's license to change my name. I think that means downtown Richmond so I'll wait until my wife gets home from NC and try to make a small day trip of it, maybe take in a museum and restaurant, or at least a local coffee roaster.

Wngsprd figure on about two hours of wait time

36 high of 46 winter storm warning in effect

Prayers for all

much cooler 46 today and pretty much staying that temperature.
Flash flood warnings now posted for tonight and tomorrow, lot of rain coming in.
Good thing I cleaned out the street drains again but another big storm will bring more junk
down the street into my culvert, often lodging in the front.

feed store gave me wrong fertilizer yesterday, yes it was 15-0-15 but uh guys you gave me
centipede weed and feed. I do not want herbicides on top of my fruit tree roots.
I don't think they have alternatives but I see that Tractor Supply has 12-0-12 so that will work too.
This was the second time the same helper put something in my pickup bed that wasn't right. Shame on me for not
double checking the second time. I saw the big white sticker with the numbers on it and went back to the hay loading.

I paid $7.25 for what I think is called a small bale of coastal hay. Since I bought 20, I asked if they could knock a quarter off.
No, our margin is only about 90 cents a bale. Ok...
That means he's paying someone close to six dollars a bale for hay. Sure smelled nice, just like a barn.

I bet it would take a lot of bales of hay to make any money though...I almost started doing that when I bought this place but my oldest
brother told me absolutely not unless I wanted to feed my own animals, not enough acres to make any money. He knew from experience trying to do it himself, the numbers just didn't work.

hope you all have a nice day.
