Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

After dark last night, but before midnight, we got about .65" of rain and were glad to get it. Temperature today is 45 going for a high of 53, but supposed to be below freezing in the morning.



If they're anything like the ones from The Collin Street bakery in Corsicana, TX, they'll be great.

They are great, I just like to joke about fruitcake.

A nice moist dark Christmas cake with almond paste icing will do me nicely. It can be made with either rum or brandy, I like 'em both.

Then use both, what could go wrong?

Rip, sounds like your gathering was nice...where'd you get such good lumber?

...

Up the road from you. In Madison, MWPSupply.

Lumbers expensive. But have had good luck with them. This batch was premium, the one "bad" board looks to have been dinged and had three small knots in it. Used about 7 feet of the 16 anyway.

Rain seems to have stopped. Need to go access the yard and pastures.

Kyle, I like chocolate chip cookies too. My lat wife made multiple versions, including white chocolate and ground walnuts.

Good morning, the temperature is 37°F and going down to 34. Wind E 5 mph. 60% chance of flurries. Special weather statement in effect.
Significant snowfall expected tonight into Wednesday.
Snow, heavy at times, and blowing snow will begin tonight or Tuesday morning and continue into Wednesday. Snowfall amounts 15 to 30 cm (6-12") are possible before the snow weakens Wednesday afternoon or evening.

There you have it straight from Environment Canada.

A town run is in the cards for today and energy conservation after that.


Have a safe day all

Lumbers expensive.
I looked at my Wehrungs bill this morning for cedar boards, $57 for a 1x8x12 and $78 for a 1x10x12, and found a lot of dings and cracks in the wood, which
was disappointing at that price

rain has started, expect it to keep going all day, 1-2 inches predicted

socks are soft and comfortable

Yep, never met a chocolate chip cookie that I didn't like. Makes no difference to me whether it's the crisp or soft texture.

Good Morning. It’s 48 and the rain has just started, the wind isn’t here yet.

It was nice meeting Drew yesterday, I’m glad that his pin nailer was a simple fix. I m flattered by his description, but the reality is that I am just a lifetime tinkerer that hasn’t yet figured out what he was going to do when he grows up.

It was an unbelievable coincidence to lookup at the plane circling over head to see that it was my son.
I hope that Drew will like the socks. The alpacas are entirely my wife’s endeavor, I’m just the maintenance guy.

With a couple of inches of rain and 50mph winds forecast for today, my tarp job on the mower should get a good test..

Not sure what today has in store, but it will be inside.

.82” of rain so far, still pouring, supposed to end mid morning, high temperature about 70 with winds 25-35 gusting to 50.

Ellen remarkably is not sore today, she’s a very young and active 62 though. I’m not so much.
Fruitcake looks great, I haven’t tried it yet as I’m sitting and waiting on a blood draw.

I didn’t get anything done before leaving home this morning, maybe the chore fairy will come while I’m here.

I’ll check in later.

Good morning all. 48 and just starting to rain when I let the dogs out at 5am. 54 with heavy rain now and the winds are picking up. My rain gauge is a graduated glass tube so intrastorm reports are not to be had during torrential precipitation .

Hope everyone has a good start to the week!
