A mostly sunny 15ºF for today’s low temperature; increasing sunshine and 31ºF presently; and I anticipate a mostly sunny afternoon with high temperature in the low to mid40ºF’s. My only real plans for today is prepping and cooking our meals. Tonight’s dinner = Chinese spicy pork and wokked(sp?) vegetables with rice. Since her broken arm/wrist I’ve been modifying Wifey’s meals to accommodate her non-dominant single armed eating.
It looks more and more likely that I’ll be seeing mostly cold rain this weekend with possible periods of mixed precipitation and/or snow. This should really create an ice/snowpack with the existing snow cover here. If I see more than an inch of snow/sleet I’ll be surprised.
Ted- Good luck with the landscape planning. It is nice to read that Dona has become an enabler


You may need to buy another tractor.
Bird- I am happy to read that you got your car’s electronics straightened out.
Bill- Thanks for sharing pictures of your lightning damaged tree and some serious chainsaw work. When I was a kid I saw an evergreen tree tree literally explode/split with a lightning strike.
Bruce- Your & Wifey’s shrimp dish looks to be great eats.
David- Thanks for that link. Maybe some time in this lifetime I’ll be able to swing something like that with SWMBO.
Drives- Congratulations on your 32nd anniversary. I wish you and your Wife many more in health and happiness. Thanks for sharing that old D9 picture.
Drew- Thanks for sharing the good news.
“… Prayers offered up for the three Americans lost in the crash of their C-130 firefighting tanker in Australia.”- Rick Mine are added.
I hope that everyone is having a manageable day
My thoughts, wishes, and prayers.
