63 °F and no rain

Project ready for concrete. So what that means is today we find out where we are in the cue, but know it won’t be before next Monday at earliest and weather is a factor both waiting and day of pour. I avoid contributing a lot of labor on pour today. Moving and finishing concrete is too much work

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

30°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 37° today. Another storm coming through this weekend, and we might be looking at temps below zero for the first time this Winter.

Spent much of the evening searching for a solution to a problem I created. I swapped the old 3.5" floppy drive in my Roland synthesizer for a USB "floppy emulator." Ideally, you can format a USB drive to read as 1000 disks. Unfortunately, all the software I've found to do this won't work on my Windows 8.1 laptop. I found one about a week ago and thought I'd give it a try last night. It got about seven partitions in before it crashed. Never could get it to do anything after that. Found a few others last night, but reviews all said they don't work either. The one I have now will supposedly work on an XP system, so I'm going to dig my old desktop out of storage and give that a try, probably this weekend. Technology can be frustrating, especially when it's old quirky technology. :banghead:

of all the cars you've owned, which one would you like back in your "spare" garage right now?
Not for money or profit, but just the one that made you feel the best and was the most fun to drive.

I think mine would probably be my '74 VW Super Beetle. It had the semi-automatic transmission, and was in pristine condition when I bought it from a guy who lived down the street (was actually his girlfriend's car). What a fantastic car. Ended up trading it to a dealership for a used '77 BMW 320i that turned out to be nothing but trouble and a money pit. Great car ... when it ran, but I eventually replaced almost the entire electrical system on that thing.
Not a "car," per se, but I really miss my '89 BMW R100RT motorcycle. Best bike I've ever owned.

No!
I was taken aback by the drop of 53° on Sunday here, though.

With that kind of change. I would be buttoning down all the hatches.

We had 11° this morning, with mondays low predicted at 11°, so not so drastic here.

Went out to get mail. Everything is covered with a slippery coating of ice. Not in the forecast.

My last motorcycle was an '87 BMW R80RT; very nice bike, but not in the same category as my '85 Honda Goldwing. The longest trip I made on the BMW was a one day drive from Dallas to Colorado Springs, and on the return trip I first rode up to the top of Pikes Peak, then on home that day.
