Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

50 and rain just stopping. Looking for sun later and 55, then 30s every night for a while.

Kyle, looks like you've got a nice project. Should be a good engine with parts and manual available.

Mostly, just a good thick filter that fits the carafe just right for pour overs.

Fun looking at all the cat pix...we haven't had cats in last 25 years, but used to have quite a few, and still the occasional stray comes by to hunt.

Too much rain...creek is flooded and looks like a white water canyon ride...I told my wife we have waterfront property for a while. Wind never got too bad, but 10-20 miles away took down trees and caused power outages.

Eric, how's the fishing?

good morning all
much colder morning, 44 with rain continuing until noon, then clearing out, frost warning tonight.
Never heard much wind, think we dodged that bullet.

spent half an hour trying to track my shop vac, both UPS and Amazon pointing fingers at each other.
Finally googled Amazon's customer service phone number (they sure make it hard to find...) and after another 20 minutes
with CS lady clearly working from home due to background noise, she admitted unit was lost and a replacement vac was ordered and should be here
next Tuesday. We shall see...

have first appointment with primary doc this morning, looking forward to it. He is a generalist with a specialty in senior care, should be good fit for me.
Then tonight I go to relative's house for dinner, looking forward to some home cooking. I told them I had to wear mask and they said they will too.
Problem is you sit down to dinner table and everyone removes mask, a real weak point in the process unless you are sitting far from each other which at most
tables one isn't.

My sister told me her kids and family are coming for Thanksgiving and both sons agreed to get Covid tested before they came. Nice that testing is more
available now.

Hope you all have a good day and you Northerners dealing with snow, take it slow and safe.

"Clean and lube chain on Volagi, stoke fire, and bike ride in afternoon, 37 miles instead of the usual 20.5. Need to get gravel tires back on."

About how many miles you ride with in year?

The chosen puppy will have very good life that's for sure.

Good morning all. While many of you have put up beautiful landscape pictures of trees, full of the colours of autumn, my contribution is going to be far more modest as the only trees cooperating around here are a couple of tiny acers, growing in pots on the patio. Instead of the wind whipping away the falling leaves, last night it seems to have been at work spreading them out for the rain to stick in place.

More rain on the way, pointing and drainage projects seem to be on indefinite hold. Did manage a few hours of tiddler fishing yesterday, 2 buckets of fish transferred.

Bird, congratulations, now keep on standing and set the new record at a figure your ancestors would really be proud of. :thumbsup:

Drew, pleased to hear your family paintings are not lost after all.

Kyle, the steiner looks like it will give you hours of fun - wouldn't be half as interesting if it was all in working order

PJ, have fun with your new guitar. Wish I had some musical talent, just never was to be.

had a "light" EM just now with 90 calories, 0 sat fat, .5mg total fat, 150 sodium and 0 sugar.
Put no sugar added marmalade on top. Very healthy, yet, for sure, muffin had less taste than normal.
However I have to cut back somewhere, need to lose 20 pounds

Ordered an Alaskan Mill from Granberg - time to make a coffee table

Ken, I have been tempted so many times to get one of those. Please let us know how you get on with it.

I once cut some large pieces of elm freehand with a chainsaw with something similar in mind. The homemade jig I made to flatten them with a router revealed they were nowhere neat as flat as I had thought, they took hours to level. Using the jig inside was my biggest mistake, chips flew everywhere and buried everything around, I was still finding pieces months later in every nook and cranny.

Nowadays I have a slightly different approach to working with wood. I still cut freehand, carefully store the timber for a few years to slowly draw out the moisture, then - put it straight into the woodburner :laughing:

Poured first cup of coffee. 34° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 41° with some sun in afternoon. Got garden pond is ready for the winter. Filled feeders and cleaned up a little more in cellar yesterday. Never got to Trak-Vac. May not be needed . Forecast for Sunday calls for 30+ mph NW winds. Grocery shopping today. That will be enough.
Not sure what these birds are. About the size of a Sparrow.

Bird, hope you get your falls under control. No need to be in a hurry. I find that the many reason for my mishaps.

Drew, hope you get your vacuum soon.

Buppies, paver down? Manatiance or broke?

PJ, nice looking guitar.

Kyle, you got a project. Hope you can get it running.

Roy, safe trip to work.

Don, Gray2 will be rewarding you for National Cat Day picture.

Buckeye, hope you get all the leaks.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.
