Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

That is my single garage I replaced the burned building with, if it had fallen that far in the opposite direction it would have hit the house though. I had one fall on my main garage two years ago, but it was a small cherry limb.
But maybe I will buy that lottery ticket though!

Better make that Monte Carlo your daily driver...it has some magic mojo going on.

Great owl pic, Jay!

Great owl pic, Jay. We had several Snowy owls here through the winter of 2013.

Nice pic Jay. Wife and I made it home safe. Big difference in weather! I'll take sunny and 82 any day. We stopped at Gettysburg,Pa. on the way home. It was nice checking out all the sites with almost no one else in the way. Walking around the cemetery with 50/60 mile winds was not fun. Brrrrrrrrrr.
At home we have a storm coming and the wind blew down so many branches in my driveway I had to dig out a rake to move enough out of the way so I can operate the blower. Had to help the neighbor fix a tire on his BX23. keeps going flat.I think he will have to bring it back to the dealer, his tractor only has 10 hours on it. Enough rambling, after driving over 3000 miles for the trip I'm tired. Need to catch up on all the threads. Goodnight all.

Thanks for the kudos. Our first St.B. loved to play fetch (like 1X or 2X and then it's time to take a break) and one night on the "runway" an owl buzzed me going after that thrown kong ball. Never heard it, only felt/sensed it during the ear "flyby"

They've been ah' hootin' and ah' howlerin' a lot the past few weeks around here They can be very loud and very vocal with their various vocalizations.

Around here the world of birds Spring is in the "air". No Vultures nor early migrators yet.... But Sugar Houses are active.

And tomorrow I could count this Barred Owl for the bird count, but not today

Sorry for the picture quality. I was hiding behind our Ficus

Don’t be sorry, nice pic, Jay

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

A really beautiful looking owl! Thanks for posting it Jay!

Good evening all. 54F for the start, fog, .3 inch in the rain gauge, calm wind. Front came through about 11AM, Fog and drizzle most of the day, wind got brisk in the afternoon, high temp 57F, low temp current 30F. Wife tried to get a physical to follow after her breathing issue the other week. When she made the appointment tried to set up with general physician, no she had to see ""lady" doctor. We get to town, they ask why are you seeing "lady" doctor:bangheadid get some grocery shopping done while she at dr office, and got some Japanese take for home.
Jay nice owl pic.
Randy glad that branch did not fall on anything important!!
PJ don't you love it when there is quality entertainment on the way home to help with the destress!!
Drew, I hate when I place something in a secure location, from me:ashamed: Good luck with the rototiller repair.
I have poor luck with rechargeable batteries when temp below 50F.
Ron heck of a deal with the tower, seems like they would figure more wind in design phase :2cents:
Roy, hope wife let go home soon.
Prayers for all

8 degrees right now...high in the mid-20's today and possible snow showers.

We brought Suzette home yesterday! Initially, she had that hospital look...old lady and shuffling. After a few hours she became her old self. She'll be on oxygen or air for a while, so there is a generator in the living room with a long enough hose for her to get into the bedroom and kitchen. We also have a half dozen small oxygen bottles for portable use. I'm really hoping she can wean herself off supplementary oxygen quickly.

Good morning. The last day of the month, I'm going to be a little sad to say goodbye to February as this has to have been one of the kindest ever weatherwise for us. I managed to find a spare hour to get up on the hay barn roof yesterday afternoon to fix the cracked fibre cement sheet and was toasty warm without any need for winter clothing.

Randy, yikes, you had some good luck with that tree. I'm far too much of a pessimist to live with tall trees so close to the house.

Jay, you thought you were hiding, but either the owl has an unusual interest in Ficus plants, or it knew exactly where you were. Nicely caught on camera.

 

[Looking4new]

-12°F and going to a high of 19. Wind NNW 8 mph. A mix of sun and cloud.

I'm going to North Bay today for my monthly shopping trip.

Thanks for the advice regarding how to cut up the fallen tree, I appreciate it.

Randy, are you going to take the rest of the tree down? Or are you going to let it fall apart in pieces?

Have a good day all

 

[wngsprd]

39 going to 49. Sleet and snow and rain tonight.

Found a dead possum on the road near my mailbox...took it over to an open area in the field, ad before I could get back to the house a turkey vulture was on the ground with it, and others circling. I hope it was the possum that has been getting into my bird feeders at night.

Roy, glad Suzette is home...I bet she's glad, too.

Don, only a month to go before you win the Yanmar...is everything ready on your end?

I've never played any fantasy sports, but got curious about something from Yahoo and drafted a baseball team yesterday...I think I'm hooked.

 

[Thomas]

Indeed great news about Suzette Roy...speedy recovery wishes still strong.

It’s coming down, future BIL was supposed to come do it a month ago but got distracted. The rest is about 30’ so not too bad.

good morning all. 45 degrees in fog, going up to 60 today.
Very glad for Roy that Suzette is home, always a good thing.
What a cool owl picture. Owls are one of my favorite birds. Quite the predator in action.
Phil, glad you made it home, hope you slept like a rock last night.

not much planned today, will replace deck rollers on JD garden tractor, they had gotten a little flat. Surprised they were not that
expensive from JD parts. Then this afternoon I get a CT scan on my head. Haven't had one of those in a long time. At least they
aren't noisy like a MRI... I'm asking them to pay extra attention to finding some common sense in there...

 

[Buppies]

54 this morning rain late in afternoon much colder tomorrow high in high 30s very cold next week highs in mid 30s. The guessers saying snow for this area I think not. More for Thomas though

Roy glad for you your wife is back home prayers she continues road to complete recovery

Ron prayer for your wife prayers for Eric’s wife and others that I forget

Third day of work this week getting tired but at least we are working again

Good Morning and prayers for all

 

[Buppies]

Good luck today Drew

 

[ronjhall]

Drinking first cup of coffee. 3° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 29° with a slight chance of some sun shine. Chilly for last morning in February. Got some seat time yesterday cleaning up drive and walkways. Not much planned for today.

Looked at hour meter on tractor yesterday. 496.7 hours. 17 years later. I had another of the same model that I traded in. It had almost 600 hours on it. 500 hours is a good thing to hit. Major maintenance is at 300 and 600 hours.

Randy, you got some good luck with that falling tree.

Roy, glad Suzette got to go home. Prayers and best wishes for a fast recovery.

Jay, like the owl picture. I hear them. But never see them. Hawks are here all the time.

Thomas, your link to the tower collapsing had the picture of the tower iced up. But did not show up on my iPad or iPhone. So I posted the picture. Thanks for the link.

Drew, good luck with CT scan. Rollers on my JD started to get flat spots. When I went to take them off. Found they would not turn freely. Ran 64th oversize drill thru each one. Then used some super lube on shaft as I reassembled. That was a few years ago. No more flat spots.

Buppies, hope your arm is doing OK.

Prayers for all.

Good Morning All.
