27 right now...high in the upper 40's and sunny.

Dump run this morning, then get the leaves out of the gutters. My step daughter wants to be able to use the garage this winter, so I've got to do some reorganizing...that'll be a real chore!!

My best to your wife, Thomas!

good morning all.
Brrr. Fishman, you are colder than me, 34 showing, but like Wngsprd have another hour of cool before warm.
Just as soon as the sun peeks its head out, temps rise quickly.
As long as you have a warm sun on your face, even under a hat, seem to stay warmer in cold temps, though after growing
my winter beard, my cheeks no longer get cold. Itch but not cold...

went to bed a little later than normal due to cooking dinner for lady friend at home last night, which I enjoy,
but always knowing I have to drive her back home to her home on the River,
into an area utterly infested with deer, and where I hit a full grown
black bear at 55mph with my truck two years ago. Too many critters on the loose at night.
I counted four deer this time, in four different places.
It's like driving through a gauntlet of the stupid animals, which I dearly wish some mighty hunter
would harvest and provide venison to the food pantry. Lot of good food on the hoof, and unlike our cows,
they run completely loose.
How about if we domesticated the deer, send them through regular tick dips, and harvest excess for
food? Good eating, like a giant walking chicken. ;)

We do it for cows, we do it for pigs, we do it...
Just seems dumb to have them spend most of their time smashed into our truck grills.
and then no more Lymes Disease, a neurological disaster for many.
We need to find a place for them to live that is controlled and off our streets.
I have lived all my life in high deer intensity areas and it makes driving at night worrisome.

Now there's a fence I'd pay for...:cool:

Good morning!
Temp here is 30 and going to a high of 39°F. Wind S 11 mph. Snow or rain in the forecast, bye, bye snow.

This certainly is a better morning than yesterday.

The same fellow that fixed my leaky roof around the chimnies 2 years ago is coming to give me an estimate on (a) patching up the additional leaks or (b) reroofing the whole thing.

I've got some more firewood to chuck into the basement today, then do nothing for the rest of the day.


Have a good day all

Need to pour fist cup of coffee. 37° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 43° with rain in afternoon. Pump is out of garden pond. Got last of the things that need to be put away for winter done yesterday. Still need to pick up leaves and make mower and tractor ready for winter. Memorial service for wife at church today. Then my granddaughter will be coming to clean house. That enough for today.

David, $1700 for mounting brackets? :confused2: What are they made out of?

Buckeye, good news on recovery.

Mostly, glad bike is fixed. Enjoy the ride. My bike never left the barn this year. Plan to fix that next year. Hope Panera put something better on the menu. :ashamed:

Drew, how do you like the new Garmin? I got a new one for my car. It has dash and backup camera. Updated all the maps and software. Transferred all my old locations in to it from saved files. Happy with it. Just need figure how to protect backup camera. It just snaps into a plastic bracket. I keep my old Dezl 560 in glove compartment just incase.

Prayers and good wishes for all.

Good Morning All.

Itch but not cold...After your whiskers get to be about 2-3" long, they don't itch anymore.

You build the fence and we can send our moose down there to live.:D

Lou, good info, thank you. So many US companies are now owned by companies in
far away lands, and sometimes you wonder "who" a company is any more.

Thomas, may the birthday girl be on a slow roll of happiness today.

I continue to be amazed at what many of you know how to fix/work on.
Sodamo works like an eager beaver on his property, living fully off the grid which I don't think any
of the rest of us do. Am sorry the batteries are failing, that has to be really disappointing. I think we all hope to get
ten years out of quality batteries, especially with today's desulphating smart chargers.
I remember seeing a 950 dollar lithium battery at the rv store, I think a group 31, maybe smaller, and
when I think you'd probably need about thirty of those to work...what a huge cost.
Doesn't Tesla make high end storage banks?

You know you have to spend the money on the batteries, but it should have been five years from now.
This sounds like an early adoption of tech that just didn't work out well.
Sun, wind and water are silent power. Too bad solar panels and windmills aren't attractive, maybe make the windmill look
like a large tree...and come up with green solar panels that work just as well.

As i was thinking about eating deer I did chuckle over including moose.
something tells me they are a bit tough.
but yes, barrier fences back off major roads would help, maybe tax incentive to do so.

Ron, the 770 is pretty much same unit without the backup camera, which I already had, and the dash cam, which I had already installed.
It's also the identical unit built inside the Kenwood radio/infotainment system so I can use one for directions and the other either zoomed in or out.
I've already had to ignore its driving instructions, same issues with all of these, they try to optimize too much and don't understand driving ease.
I wish there was a way to set your route in the gps, have some input on that vs. just filters. I love Google Maps because you can drag your route over to another road.
I want the gps to give me advice on that route, not what is 1/10th of a mile shorter.
