32°F and light rain this morning, going up to 38° today. Rain is expected all day and into tomorrow, ending as snow. More rain later this week, and snow this coming weekend.
Got a little bit of stuff done outside on Saturday, when the wind subsided enough to burn the ever growing mountain of cardboard boxes. Sunday was a total loss, as we had freezing rain pretty much all day. The walk to the chicken coop yesterday morning was fun. I got the impression that the chickens and ducks were kind of rooting against me. :confused3: Spent the bulk of the day puttering around in my studio.
An 88 acre parcel of land is up for auction just down the road from us. It's the field that GPS directions take people to when they enter our address :laughing:. I've noticed the recent trend around here is to divide land into smaller tracts and sell them separately. When our neighbor to the south sold their 15 acres, it was divided into two tracts. This one is divided into two 40-ish acre tracts, and one eight acre tract with a long, skinny access strip from a road on the other side of the property. We're hoping it doesn't get gobbled up by some developer and turned from productive farm land into a crowded neighborhood full of overpriced "country homes."
Not envious of Eric's situation at all.
A friend of mine from South Lake Tahoe traveled to Texas over the weekend and bought three old BMW Isetta 300s. He trailered them back and will restore them, something he loves doing. The dealership where I bought my BMW motorcycle back in the '80s had one of those in their showroom. Neat little cars.
Hope your wife is doing well, Roy.
Kyle, the guitar kit came complete with everything to build a functioning guitar. I only have to supply the tools and the finish. I'll probably be replacing some of the hardware, but most of it will be stock from the kit.
