Good morning!!!!

[cat fever]

Happy New Year everyone.

Not as cold as CWB Wyo, we are sitting about 1 degree inside a open barn. So outside may be 1 or 2 degrees colder.

40° this morning and sunny. Forecast says 59° for this afternoon.

I'm hoping to get to the wood splitting that I delayed yesterday to wash the Corvette. No rush .... as the only wood burning we do is the fire pit at the house and the fire pit down by the quarters in the workshop. We elected for two direct vent gas fireplaces in the house at the ranch and same at the Richmond house.

Usually cut a lot of 2-3" x 12" for the chimineas, on back porches as well.

Still too wet for any tractor work so ..... will have to be happy with running the 3-point splitter.

Happy belated birthdays to Mrs. Bird and Roy.

Drew .... I also need to shed 10 lbs. I just need to do it three times.

Hoping everyone has an excellent day and a great 2019.

Prayers to all.

Happy New Year's Day all. Hope and pray for a blessed year.

Happy Birthday Roy! Hope you have a great day.

Last night it was 44F here in Texas, and 56F in Dayton Ohio at one point....what the heck?

Don, congrats on your 8th year of your lifestyle diet. Will you have some black eyed peas? Glad you found the "sub culture" tractor club. I've been dreaming of one of those laser sintering deposition 3D printers for almost a decade. They still cost so much, and our funded projects don't usually have those kinds of funds to procure one at work. I'll just keep dreaming.

If anyone wants a 3D plastic printer for a hobby, here's one I can recommend ($749 unassembled). It's just a single filament model, but has some great features that many experienced users demand.

You can download Autodesk Fusion 360, and declare yourself a "hobbyist" and use it for free. As long as you don't make over $100K a year with it. Then you can design your own models. Or, there are many websites to download other peoples' models. Thingyverse, GrabCad etc. There is a bit of a learning curve as to what you can, and can't do, but it is a fun and often useful hobby.

I've been suffering from digestational issues for almost a week (TMI), probably a virus. Only had low grade fever for a day when it started. Plus, I've developed a horrible cough. Need to go get some more Tussin-DM

Prayers for the sick, especially those with cancer. Prayers for cures and healing. Also for our nation and the world, and the leaders of each nation.

Welcome new folks, Howdy from Texas! (I see L120 is from here).

Happy birthday Roy!
Up to 66° now, it’s been 65° since just after midnight, .26” of rain from the system passing through last night, got very breezy for a while.
Black eyed peas in the slow cooker, greens are waiting also. Taking down the rest of the decorations today. Got a bit of shopping today, but hopefully not too much.

Buppies, I hope your equipment works out for you.

Good to see the new and infrequent posters today.

Happy New Year folks.

Don, . . . Will you have some black eyed peas?

They are heading to the Instant Pot as I type, along with onions, celery, garlic, carrots, red peppers, jalapeño peppers, okra, tomatoes, and spices, with sides of cornbread and cranberry/appricot relish. :thumbsup:
