How many of the old gang still has their TBN t-shirts and hats?

I forgot about the t-shirts but while going through the container looking for a welding jacket we found them. That takes us back a day or three.......

Good evening all. 32F for the start, mostly clear sky, calm wind. Wind stayed very light, sky stayed clear, and high temp was 54F. Choir practice to start the day, leaf pick up next on the agenda, followed by nap time. Too late after nap to start anything.
Rick, nice truck, hope it works well for you.
Don sounds like you are finding your way around the community, I did not see your old driveway in the video! :ashamed:
Prayers for all.

29 right now...high in the mid-30's and a few inches of snow in the forecast. Looking at the 10 day forecast, we have a lot of nuisance snows (1-2 inches) over the next week or so...

Just finished figuring out where I was going, my step brother has a rental cottage on a farm estate in Aldie,VA and I finally tracked it
down on Google Maps. wow...nice gardens, hope to walk through those tomorrow.
former President Monroe's home, 1200 acres total.

The place with the pool in the clearing ? Looks a great spot to go swimming, guess it could be a little cool though this time of the year.

Good morning. It's dark inside this morning and in an hours time it will be even darker as we have been told that power is being turned off at 10 for some work to be done further up the line. Should hopefully be back on tonight. I best get my chainsaw battery on charge now, that little EGO is proving itself to be almost perfect for lots of stop start cutting like I was doing yesterday.

Only difficulty was my arm found it hard going when it came to cleaning off the soil where some of the timber had been in contact with the ground. It's usually simple to keep the saw blade sharp by first skimming off a strip of bark with an axe. Not yesterday though, my right arm just didn't want to swing. I am ambidextrous with some tools (as bad with either hand ), but not with an axe in my left hand. That is going to take some practise, it just didn't feel "right". Can anyone here use a hatchet with either hand ?

I can!

having my coffee, showered and packed, turning down all the thermostats, wow is Thanksgiving going to be cold up North.
I rarely wear a tshirt under my shirt, which this trip will be my faithful LL Bean chamois shirts, but this time, you bet.
Little jars of Bertie Peanuts all packed for house presents. Bertie County is not too far from me, though I've never seen a peanut plant in my life.

I’m right handed and that’s about it with the exception of fishing all my reels are left handed

Good morning all, 49 going to a high of 48 and partly sunny. Neighbor borrowed a tool that is used to seat the anchors for the pool cover in the concrete. Just a piece of alum. with a step in size so I turned one for me so he can keep it and use it later. Need to go to the grocery today, will see what else.

Drew, You should plant a few peanuts this spring. I did one year and it turned off dry, very dry and we never got the first one.

Don, you were in the booth next to the wooden indian head. At least that is what you said earlier.

Have a great day, prayers sent. Ed

RNG hope you get to go home very soon :thumbsup:

how about a thousand thumbs up for RNG to get back into his own home.

Hope smell isn't an issue; bet Servicemaster is awfully busy. Saw a lot of house fires in my time in insurance
and the cleanup can be complicated. yes to being extra careful to check for hidden damage from radiant heat.
For example, plastic siding, which no one would have there, could be cooked but not fully baked. All the life baked out of it.
Window mouldings, basically anything not wood, brick or stone. And if it's bad, even the mortar in the stone. Had a lot of that
in stone houses in PA. In RNG's case, it's all exterior heat which is very different.

RNG was prepared, had landscaped his land and his home was saved. Nice work friend.

6 and searching for a high of 14F. Wind NNE 11 gusting to 23 mph. 40% chance of flurries.

I gotta plow the driveway again. I have a furniture truck coming with the new couch today.

There is a stray silver and black tabby cat hanging around, it is very wary of people. It sure doesn't mind eating the cat food we put out for it. My cats, sitting in a nice warm house with endless food are not very inviting though.
I also saw the tracks from the resident fox in the new fallen snow and now I wonder if the stray is still around, or did it become lunch. Time will tell. It is usually here by about 2 in the afternoon.

The local grocery store has 1 lb Christmas cakes on sale, buy two and get one free. I got 3 not iced and three with marzipan icing on them Friday. They were fresh so I went in yesterday and got 3 more iced and 6 not. Stepson and DIL like the non iced where I prefer iced. I think I have enough Christmas cake to do me until New Years. Those cakes are the end of my Christmas shopping. All done, YES! A month early, perfect.

After I plow today I think I will be in the conserve energy mode.

Have a good day all
