Poured first cup of coffee. 33° with rain this morning. Heading to 44° with continued rain. Everything is cover with ice. Not sure about PT today. Will see if the warmer temperatures melts the ice. Less wind and warmer temperatures brought Cranes back after not showing up for 3 days. I was hoping they decided to go south.

RNG, nice eagle picture.

Buppies, nice watch. Got my wife a watch for her birthday last year. A memory that is close by every time she needs to check time. :thumbsup: Glad the secret purchase and delivery went well.

Drew, I like Jays new name for you. :D

Prayers as needed.

Good Morning All.

Enjoy the day all.

Mostly, thanks. Will be chopping veggies this morning, celery, carrots into tiny bits. That plus the coffee grinds added to the large amount of organic material already in there should be just fine. I think the worms may come today.
Kyle, everything here is a swear word. A close friend and fellow gardener gave me a nifty small wooden block on which was painted
in giant block letters: GROW **** IT When one lives in an area with conservative Christian values, I just wasn't sure if that would offend anyone. I think I'll put it in the greenhouse. I have to chuckle thinking about this, whether the autoeditor will xxx out those letters.
Sure is easy to offend these days. Edit: ok, so it did. the word is the less palatable stronger version of darn

Annoyed that I left the heater setting on all night too high in the greenhouse, must have been 70 in there when I was shooting for 55, hard to regulate in a structure with zero almost less than nothing insulation. During the day it averages 80-95. I'm thinking I bet a couple of you with bad knees would like to sit in there and just bake for awhile. Get everything to just loosen up so the pain goes down. Doesn't mean you can then do something stupid, it just means you don't have pain. But you know how we think and I sure include myself there.
I seem to do poorly with the slowly ramping up to full activity part.

Medicine has surely changed, but it almost sounds like they should put a cast or immobilization device on these knees for a longer period of time and let the body heal for longer. Particularly when one is a little older. For seniors, well I'd ask Medicare for a three week immobilization cruise through the Panama canal over to California, that way I could see my sister, and then still immobilized...I'd head home for another three weeks since the ongoing diagnosis would reveal the need for extended healing times. I could sure have fun with that calling their customer service.

Let's see how many of us can go shoot some lube on our garage doors today. I'm sure going to. It's been a year.
WD40 is better than nothing but I prefer something with teflon in it.
Figure if it works on a fry pan it should sure make things slippery on those rollers.
I've used spray white grease and it seems to attract a lot of dirt so I stopped that a while back.
Kroil works nicely but has an odor in a closed garage. Sure to bring a "what's that smell?" from your wife.
I prefer to use that where the lube has to penetrate to actually accomplish something.

33 going up to a warm 62, with Southern air pushing up bringing rain tonight and 66 for tomorrow.

They must have got a good feed. I noticed that whole corn was left after deer visits. They had a 4 day collection of whole corn yesterday.

Clear skies and a light fall of snow made for a much brighter start this morning. I had the same issue as farmer, with snow keeping the frost from penetrating deep. After breaking through the surface while moving half a dozen big "square" bales, I decided that was enough mess for today.

Rick, that is a substantial table. Another good example of how life is so much easier with a FEL.

RNG, nice camera work to capture the eagle taking off.


I took a couple of pics for those that can't get out into the fields today.

32 going to 53, rain tonight.

RNG, great shot of the eagle. I always get excited when I see them soar overhead or land here.

Buppies, glad your surprise worked.

Eric, absolutely gorgeous.

Rich, how's that tooth? I still have to go back next in 2 weeks for a crown on mine.

One of life's pleasures - getting a tree to fall exactly where you wanted it to. I spent more time than usual yesterday sizing up a tall dead tree for where I should try to fell it, especially based on the big dogwood nearby that I wanted to avoid, and based on its tricky lean one direction down low being opposite of the lean up high. It fell one inch from my mark.

Even better, when I stared up at its top, I saw a rainbow...straight up in the clear blue sky. Not a halo around the sun, but by itself...the sun was off to the west about 3:30pm. I forget what this type rainbow is called...Jay, you probably do.

Need to split and stack today.

Good morning! No, cold morning! It would be good EXCEPT todays activities are out doors and the wind is 15 mph. 34˚F and dropping. Still contemplating skipping Whippers class and first Pickle ball class.

Finished the Attic supports and floor. I ended up putting 12 pieces 2ftx4ft of 3/4" plywood on the beefed up 2x4 trusses. I still will keep any heavy object close to a supporting wall. I scabbed on a 2x4 on the bottom 2x4 of the truss and then put another 2x4 flat on top of the two, all with 2.5 to 3" screws. I'll add a pic from my phone. I've miss out on three trail blazer sessions this week and one garden/tractor opportunity to finish this delayed project.IMG_2634.JPG

I've used WD-40, of course, but for some time now I've been using 3-in-1 Professional Garage Door Lube, although I haven't applied it more than once or twice a year.

We started the day yesterday with 56 degrees and this morning with 28 degrees. Supposed to be sunny today, while yesterday afternoon, we had a little drizzle off and on; had to use the windshield wipers intermittently and probably got a total of about .02" of rain.
