Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

36 going to 57. After looking at LS' beautiful pix, almost embarrassed to say we are getting a few snowflakes mixed with rain this morning. We are so snow deprived that my wife and I were talking last night about driving up to the mountains just to see their predicted 1 to 3 inches. Then we came to our senses.

Fired up the woodstove this morning. Hoping will be the last time until autumn.

Our covid bux are showing as pending this morning. Sounds like at least some of yours will be going back, to chainsaws and Chinese food. We haven't tried any take out restaurant and haven't eaten out in over a month...long time for us.

Roy, sorry your back pain is back. I rode the zero for a while yesterday...never noticed any back aggravation, although I'm sometimes stiff getting off.

Made the dump run and picked up some diesel and gas. Prices hadn't changed since a week or so ago. The man working at the county transfer station (dump) said business is really booming but the county may have to scale back some of the recycle activity. But definitely they are keeping the cardboard recycle going...they make the most $$ off it...and I guess with all the online purchasing, volume is way up.

Bird, on your next grocery order, there is a check-box to use to indicate whether you will accept substitutes. It is a bit of an annoyance not to learn they are sold out of something until your order is ready, but I guess that would also happen if you went inside to shop. Glad you tried it.

Doesn't look like the bear made an appearance last night, but after securing the bird seed and feeders inside, not sure I'll know until I go check the trail cam.

36 outside this AM. Heading to lower 50's. More rain overnight. Sigh.
LS- takes a day or two to dry out when that happens. I happens maybe once every year or so.
Mostly - trimming these maples back requires a bucket truck and pro's. We did it maybe 5 years ago. Issue now is the branches that are left, are trees by themselves!

I have one battery operated tool in my possession. LOL. Guess I need to re-tool. The tech is there now, they are giving all gas powered a run for the money.

Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

Making a beer run shortly. Wally world said they got's me beer in! And it's a lot more than Kyle's stash. LOL!

Good morning all.
Cooler day here, 44 going up to 54 in drizzle now but sunny later.
Wunderground even posted a frost warning, so low of 38 tonight might get lower, duck little flowers!

Not sure what I'm doing today. Got up feeling a little dizzy, hopefully that will go away.
