Good morning!!!!

Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 4:00AM. Cloudy. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 48F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph.

Last time I saw that many pots in one place, Drew, was at the garden store. Last summer I was shopping for a bird bath, but none of the stores here carried one. If you hang onto the one you have, you'll be ahead of the game...:laughing:

I hope those dealing with the weather, and that are under the weather, have a better time soon. But I guess all that's typical for December.

Woke up an hour ago coughing, not sure this cold is quite done with me, or maybe it's the slight smoke odor in the house. Feels like I've lapsed back into head cold mode with sneezing and runny nose, so maybe it's allergies. Probably means a thorough cleaning of all the rooms inside. Maybe it's finally time for new furniture in the great room, too?:confused2:

Took all day yesterday to clean the refrigerator; oh my gosh, it sure had a lot of parts to disassemble, clean, and put back. Thank goodness all the food fit in one medium sized cooler; I don't think the thing has been that empty or clean since I bought it. Cleaned up the water stains on the floor from the freezer section with a mild bleach solution, then mopped the kitchen and dining area. Lots of fun...

Got the annual physical Thursday, so I'll head in to town today for a blood draw, and see if I can get that dryer over to my buddy's house. Might even be able to bring a motorcycle or two home. Sure hope so.

Freedom Lives: I once ran out of fuel on a rented Diesel powered trencher. Couldn't get it started again until I took the fuel line leading to the injectors loose and poured fuel into it directly. That got the engine running long enough for the fuel pump to prime and take over. As I recall, I had to prime it a couple of times before it would stay running. I got into that trouble because the fuel gauge on the trencher was busted. The rental guy heard about that!:laughing:

Was 33 earlier, and ice in the bird baths. Should see 49.

Ed, hope you get a nap and feel better.

RNG, I bet just standing in your house and looking around gives you a special feeling after all of the anxiety producing days of fire.

Started tearing off damaged window trim yesterday and cut new cedar to replace. Home Depot charged $10.69 for each 3/4" x 4" x 8ft board. Ouch. Will need to prime and nail up this afternoon. Not sure I'll get to the caulk stage.

Good morning! 37 sunny heading to 54.

Ed I hope you get some good sleep soon.
Taking groceries and lunch to mom’s today.
I laid sod grass in part of the garage so whipper has an indoor yard, she is so spoiled.
I found a red golf cart but it needs batteries.

Buppies
This upcoming storm will put snow and ice down in unusual areas from California all the way across the country to the east coast
.................................
The lower half east coast???

Storm? What storm? I see no storm on the Weather Network.

Drew, blueberries love peat moss. Good looking greenhouse. Thanks for the pic.

9 with a high of 23F. Wind N 10 gusting to 18 mph. 40% chance of flurries.

I gotta go to Sundridge today and get me a big clevis. The other day when I pulled that Ford out of the ditch we hooked the tow rope onto the 3 point. I know, not very smart. That is why I will be getting a big clevis.
We gotta get some fresher greens and see the butcher again. Cat food is also on the list. I think the route will be drug store, butcher, equipment dealer, hardware store, grocery store and lottery store.

check, how deep is the water at your marina? Also how long are the covered slips at the marina?
the reason I am asking is that I am looking for a marina closer to home and hopefully cheaper than I am paying now.

Have a good day all

We have 2 marinas on Kawagama Lake (oldmillmarina.ca, and mthmarina.com). Both have lots of slippers that are, I am sure, plenty of deep. Not sure what he’s available these days, but you can contact them through the websites that I just gave you.

The marinas are just a short distance from the town of Dorset, and Old Mill has a site on Lake of Bays as well, right in the town of Dorset.

There is also my 50 foot long boathouse, which is 20 feet deep at the end, but that one is mine (LOL).

Good luck!

thanks Don. While of course not heavy weather rated, even though polycarbonate whisper thin, am guessing if wind hit 40mph it would all start bending. Frame is aluminum...so, already formulating plan to throw big tarp over it and stake that down if a storm comes. Or build some kind of temporary storm frame. Open to the North...other directions pretty well shielded but little tornadoes do occur. Nicely made in ****** with a gazillion parts.

Drew, how about securing the greenhouse with some sort of truck bed netting? That way you could leave it on for a week and the plants would still get light.
