Good morning!!!!

After 60 years with the same person how is that done.

not easily for sure.
I had a long talk with an elderly member of my church whose wife of many years had passed on.
He had his gravestone already prepared next to hers, just like I have next to my late wife's in the same
cemetery about 50 feet from him. His feeling was he would rather enjoy the memory of her for his remaining days
vs starting over. I think we never know, all a matter of the stars aligning and the right two people meeting each other.
If it happens, it happens. Like RNG has said, important to be happy with yourself and not have that happiness be dependent
upon others. But if you are a giver vs a taker, not having someone to give to can be hard. Best I can do at this point is give food to
the food pantry and homes for the birds.

On the night of June 1, while I was in the hospital, my late wife came to me in a dream after six years and told me to move on,
to open my heart up to someone new and get on with life. I had completely shut down after her death, and focused
on being a farmer. So now I look at Toppop and wonder if I'll get that lucky. But in the meantime
the only person responsible for my happiness is me.

Went to get kerosene for space heater in hangar, local place had inoperative pump, drove half hour to pay $3.50 a gallon. Next time I’ll just buy $4.50 jet fuel at airport. Got master cylinder off and brought it home to rebuild.

Ron, is this a replacement board that has failed, or still the original failure? Either way, it’s a good thing that you have an alternate heat source.

I’ve got to drive around today and deliver the breads that my wife baked. Every year she bakes about 30 loaves each of apple date nut and pumpkin breads. I’m in charge of distribution, so not sure how much I will get done in the shop today. I hope to disassemble the master cylinder so I can determine what parts I need.

Oh, and I have a growing pile of presents that I can’t forget to wrap....

37 going to 53, but winds up to 25.

Nice clear sky when I first went outside this morning. Inspired by Sophie's pic, saw the International Space Station pass by...their website has good info and maps for tracking.

Rick, I also had that plastic radiator overflow cap recall. Kubota must be really obsessed with getting it fixed. First I heard of it was receiving a Fedex package with a new one in the box and a nice 3 page color photos/instructions back in November, 2018 direct from Kubota. Then, months later I got a phone call from the dealer telling me about it, and confirmed that I had replaced it, and that I inspected my old one, which was perfectly fine. Then this past August I received a $6.95 certified-return-receipt-required letter from the dealer. During this almost 2 year period, I had been into the dealer several times buying filters, etc. but no one mentioned it. When the service manager called a few weeks after I got the letter, I told him all of this and that they could have saved the 7 bux and a lot of trouble by just having recalls entered into their system...they sold me both my Kubotas, and know everything I've ever bought for them, etc...seems a recall status in the system would be easy, right BEF? He agreed and said Kubota was really pushing on this but they will check me off.

77,325 points. Haven’t cashed in any.
For some unknown reason the week I got the new iphone I didn’t get my Stand points.

I still don’t understand why they declined me for the study, I’ve been dealing with Afib for over a year and a half. No explanation, just sorry you weren’t excepted.

It was cloudy here but .. a couple of cloud breaks .. resulted in a very nice view .. of the conjunction.

Patricia .. could see it in Richmond. She said she saw a "cross".

That's .. what it's all about.

I was so disappointed, it was cloudy here, rained later.

It seems to me that we're having rather odd weather for this time of year; frost in the mornings and warm sunny weather in the afternoon. Calm 31 degrees this morning, but going for a high of 69. Our washing machine apparently has a leak somewhere. The last 2 times it was used, there was a little water on the floor (in the garage fortunately). So the Sears repairman is supposed to be here between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. today.

Good morning, the temperature is 26°F and going down to 21. Wind NW 11 mph. 60% chance of flurries.

My gibbled knee woke me up at 3 A.M., I had to P anyway. Rubbed the CBD oil into it after the P. Got up at 6:30 and oiled it again.

A town run is in the cards for today,and that will be the last town run of 2020.
I was informed yesterday evening that Ontario is going into total lockdown effective 00:01 hrs 27 Dec. Us north of the French River for 14 days and the rest of the province for 28 days. Another case of the north paying for Torontos' stupidity. It doesn't affect us 3 much mainly because we are more or less a hermits anyway. Birds of a feather.

I am looking for a gas powered power washer with a foam cannon. Anywhere from 2500-3500 psi.
My Kioti bought new in 2012 has never been waxed and the paint on the hood is a tad dull. I tried some Lucas Slick Mist Speed Wax on the hood in 35° temps and the stuff works. I have a shine on the hood. After I get the power washer and clean off the soot that is on the left side loader arm and the rest of it, too, I will wax it all with the speed wax.


Have a safe day all
