Didn’t get as much done as hoped, ran out of quik crete. Did get the step- transition from the main slab to the new slab and the new footer area for the carport post. Still need to do the mini wall transition from the original slab where the washer & dryer live to the new slab, about 9 in tall. All formed up, just need the concrete.
Somewhat disappointed in the quik crete. Only bought a week ago and protected by tarps, but already suffering from moisture thru the bags. Several chunks just not usesble. Good think I didn’t have to wait another week.

Good Morning!!!! 52F @ 9:15PM.
Sunny skies. High 61F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph.


Long day strolling around the San Diego zoo. What an amazing place! Animals you've never heard of, all with what seems to be their home environment, well fed, and well cared for. Rain scared most of the folks away, leaving us lots of room to get around and get up close. I was inches from orangoutangs, black leopards, lions, crocks, amazing reptiles, and wonderfully colorful birds.

One of the bikes seems to have a a charging problem, maybe we'll get to it tomorrow. Headed for the desert Saturday morning...

Glad everyone seems to have had a wonderful Christmas! And that for most anyway, the weather cooperated. Here's hoping for an even better New Year...

Good Morning,
temp here is 36ｰF and going up to 37. Wind SW 9 mph. Freezing rain, ice pellets and rain as well as a fog advisory in the forecast.

I've got a dump run, then get at the tarp surrounding the lean to, then fix the front door. That is my day all planned out.
Let's see how much I actually get done.


Have a safe day all

32 right now...supposed to get freezing rain, then rain today. Only thing I see outside is a light dusting of snow so far. High in the low 40's today.
No chores today, but I'm going to try the barber shop again, since it was closed when I got to Randolph yesterday.

Good morning all. Comfortably above freezing here, with a south wind doing it's best to soak all the easy to reach firewood.

Sodamo, I thought Santa would have left you plenty of quickrete as everyone knows that concreting is your favourite hobby. Maybe next year, when the elves have sourced better waterproofed gift wrap.

Randy, you must be giving your new valve a good workout pumping up the Crossman if you are reaching out to 50 yards !

Seeing all those animals in San Diego zoo reminded me of a book I got for Christmas in which is a chapter about an eccentric geologist called the Reverend William Buckland. Any guesses what the connection is ? (Going straight to his Wiki page is too easy and will be classed as cheating )

40 high of 62 today really seems like spring

Prayers for all in need

46 going to 66 today in clouds and sun.
RNG, thanks for zoo pics. I had scheduled the San Diego zoo for my rv trip in April.
Definitely going now.
Hope everyone is doing ok today.
Going to wash the big tractor today and my truck.

Plans for today...Town for critter food,make some noise in the basement,take the rest of the day as it comes.

Enjoy the day all.

39 and was foggy, going to 61. Not too shabby for December.

Hope everyone is still on the mend. I picked up a cold that hit pretty hard last night...coffee is my medicine of choice.

Eric, although your geologist has buck in his name, I'm guessing the connection is not with deer. More clues?

RNG, I went to San Diego for business a while back and had a free Sunday - had to pick between the Padres baseball game and the Zoo...glad I went to the zoo. It was incredible. One of my memories - I sat on a bench to tie my shoe and a hummingbird flew up and landed in its nest next to me...nest so tiny I had missed seeing it when I sat.

Split firewood yesterday, and now have an empty carry all box with more rounds on the ground back in the woods, so better go pick them up today before the rain comes Sunday. Plus move some pallets.
