Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! Low only 34, going up to 52 today. Then the start of the cool down begins! High of 15 forecasted for Sunday with a very good chance of snow. 35 degree difference in high temps.... should be an eye opener for sure! Those temps in the upper MidWest are crazy cold..... well, for most of us....Lookingfornew would think it's spring!

LFN, I hope your daughter does OK. I must have British roots somewhere.... I put salt on almost everything (I know that I shouldn't)

David... no surgery yet.... scheduled for Friday, barring any last minute problems. No time was given yet.... I hope to know by tomorrow....

Yesterday was spent taking care of loose-end errands before I get laid up.... An important errand was to get a check into the bank... problem was: it didn't arrive in the mail. Now it is 2 days late... I am getting concerned.....maybe it will arrive today, if not then I will get the attention of the sender!

Closing on the house was to happen today.... then my son got an email from the title company canceling the meeting.... they said they didn't receive some needed paperwork.... My son said they will inform them today that it better happen tomorrow, or the seller won't be able to sign! Incompetent group to say the least....

Yesterday got a little seat time in, taking down some fencing to give access to replace the septic tank. Used the bucket and chain to pull up 3 posts. The job went a lot easier than expected, all done in an hour.

Ok, now I forgot everything that I was remembering that you guys posted.... I have to start taking notes again.

Workinonit, :welcome:Welcome to the Good morning crew !

Some shop time today putting the finishing touches on the blanket chest. Then get it into a safe spot until my daughter's birthday in March.

Everyone have a great day!

LS, that would be spring. No doubt about it.
We had warm weather one spring and got the garden planted by the beginning of May....Then a hard freeze came along and we lost everything. I use May 24 th weekend as my benchmark. NOTHING goes into the ground before May 24th. That theory worked for us when we lived east of Toronto and it should work 3.5 hours north of Toronto.

Ted, good luck with surgery, may it give you long term relief, and also with
the house sale. Last summer Wells Fargo mortgage company told buyer of my farm they
needed an extra week to prepare docs, blamed it on Covid, and of course found new
docs now required to be signed. Scratched my head and wondered how they could be
so screwed up operationally that after waiting over a month with everything in, they
still weren't ready.

My job for today is measure, cut and install MERV13 filter material on all the heater vents in house. No master vent/filter unfortunately,
and the place is very dusty, which it shouldn't be other than it seems the new wool area rugs continue to shed a little.

When I bought this place it was a 'power of sale'. The bank owned it and it was empty. I gave the bank 30 days to get their act together. The realtor told me that they wouldn't move that fast on it and I told him 2 things. (1) the bank is in the money business and the house had been empty for a year. The original owner defaulted on $100,000.oo he owed the bank. And (2) if they didn't want to close in 30 days that they could find another sucker. The whole deal would be cancelled. They agreed to my terms. Got it for $52,900.oo Took 15 years to pay for it.

Workinonit, welcome to Good Morning thread. A TBN member that worked at the Monroe,Michigan power plant took me and another member on a tour of the plant. Learned a lot about how electricity is made with coal.

Back from second vaccine shot. No side effects yet.
