Good morning!!!!

garage door company has two people out with Covid. Makes their remaining staff suspect; owner
said he'd come up and install it himself if need be. Likely tomorrow. :thumbsup:

now off to NJ. HF just opened. Might get some gas on way home since excuse to take the back roads into Lambertville past farms I've looked
at all my life. Nice roads too, just always have to watch for deer.

28 outside. Heading to upper 40's today. Chance of rain.

Mostly, sorry for your loss.

Will try and get the finances in order today for all the stuff going on. Did not expect the retirement account to deal with the major events unfolding. In my fantasy life it was for the beach house, travel adventures and my old Chevy. But as the wife said, we can always sell the place. It's just bad timing I keep saying. Had the place looking good, now I have to tear it up for more plumbing. Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

Ok. reset.

Hope all have a great day today. Be safe and stay healthy.

You got this.
My place is 23 yrs old and things are starting to go. Never know what’s in store in the future.

Eric, bread looks yummy!!

Central NC. Living in a tin can with a hose for water. 22 degrees this morning, let the water run all nite. Last week it froze but no damage.

22 degrees in NC in Dec? It could happen!

Tooooo cold tooooo early!

Do you like smoked pulled pork ?

oh for sure, one of the best parts of living in NC...
Just have to ration myself on total meat intake.
Home made smoked pulled pork.
Lord let there be a small container for me. :dance1:

Bread looks delicious. A friends FIL baked bread every day, whether they needed it or not. When asked why he always made bread, he replied that kneading the dough was the best way to clean his hands after gardening.

Kind of like the cowboy who always cleaned his knife by cutting an orange and offering slices to you.

Good thing whoever sent this letter didn't see Clark's or Ted's (LSmt125) son's displays
Minnesota resident'''s Christmas light display shamed for '''harmful impact''' to community in anonymous letter | Fox News

I saw that, some people are just miserable a-holes.

Mostly, sorry to hear of your friend.

good morning all.
chilly 29 going up to 40 today in clouds and maybe a snow flurry.

I need to call the garage door opener guy who was supposed to install this week. Didn't want to hound him but
I'm getting tired of lifting that door. Hopefully he can come tomorrow.

Mostly sorry about loss of friend and mechanic. As we get older, this becomes sadly common.

A quiet day planned, need to remember to take trash out to end of lane, cans roll pretty easily on frozen gravel.

And of course the unwanted, just can't kill it HF order sending me a second 12 inch mitre saw came through, guy didn't even come to door, dumped
package out in driveway which is where I had to struggle with it to get it in back of car. Not sure if I'm going to UPS or their store, quiet day so I have time for both

now that I'm using 12 inch boards, glad I got the bigger saw, handles the wider boards just fine

I overcooked the fruit and didn't have enough liquid in it (not enough of that phony gelatine...) but it still tasted good. Next time I need to cover it with foil and add more juice

Drew, if I had thought of it earlier I would have bought that extra saw from you.

Could have picked it up on my trip to get some smoked pulled pork.

We smoke a whole pig in a homemade smoker at our church each June and invite the local senior center for a free meal.

Do you like smoked pulled pork ?

I do, and my smoker went to the dump this fall, rotted out in the bottom even though it stayed clean and under cover. I guess that’s what 33 years will do.

Rip, tell us about the old Chevy.
