Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

The sun is making a welcome appearance after many days of gloom. Just enough breeze to give hope that some places may dry out enough for me to make slighly less mess with the Iseki before the drizzle returns.

All the stories of falls on here are food for thought. In winter I always put on a beanie hat to go outside to give a bit of extra cushioning just in case I do slip, though not sure how effective it would be. The biggest danger here at the moment is the slimy paving slabs. Yesterday I gave those outside the back door a good blast with the power washer. Last year someone said to try a product called "wet and forget". I forgot to try :confused3:. Just had a look and the active ingredient seems to be Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride, which is readily available - but even less memorable.

LS, that's my wife's idea of perfect snow - deep and beautiful and far, far away

3° and going to a high of 7°F. A tad cool. Wind NNW 16 gusting to 23 mph.

The block heater is turned on and at the risk of wasting hydro I will make the decision to go and plow around 10.

I may need to go to the Post Office and sign for some weed that should be there. I love it! Mail order dope.

The morning of New Years eve I have a Dr.s appointment in North Bay, to get my 'script for cbd oil extended for another year.

Have a good day all

No...noo...the decorations have to stay up until at least the second of January....

I say put a pink heart on those canes and leave ‘em!

NWS says it's 34 degrees this morning, going for a high of 38, then back down to 33 tonight. This old age is tough. Yesterday morning, while the temperature was in the upper 30s, I used the EGO blower to blow all the tiny acorns off the driveways and walk, then I raked up and bagged about a hundred pounds of those acorns with just a very few leaves in them. And by late yesterday afternoon, I was so sore I could hardly get around. And I'm still pretty sore today. I've grown to hate live oak trees.

This old age is tough.

and the tough keep going.
raking a hundred pounds of acorns? no wonder you're sore Bird. Too bad you can't plant them, like along the tree line of the neighbor
you don't like.

see, you're a tough old Bird.

You can see what year Calendars repeat here.

fun part is they are LED, have the same ones, and they could light up in the snow. Bet that would look cool.
sure need to be careful with the plow...

1963 Biarritz convertible was the car rich industrialists and high earners gave their wives, in Palm Beach and other fashionable places,
no need to get a foreign car like those Hollywood movie stars. US Grade A Prime. Looking forward to February.
I have an old trucks and a Massey calendar ready to go.

I think that microbus sidecar is the bomb. Are those aircraft lights? Is that a steering wheel in there? Can they drive from inside? Might be just a reflection.
Waiting to see picture of RNG's Vanagon pulling his BMW on a trailer.

Starting off in the upper 30's with only a high of 43F expected.
Ron, nice photo.
LS, careful with all that snow. My middle daughter would love it.

Drew, my son was given a small cabbage to plant, and it has been doing quite well now for about 2 months. When will you plant your's? What will you plant first? I looked for onion sets yesterday. No luck finding them yet.

36F partly cloudy sky might reach 40F for high.

Plans for today...throw down some lot grit on icy driveway double up the feed for critters,than take from there.

Enjoy the day all.
