DIL back from hospital. Uneventful (boring) trip up and back.

Now to conserve energy for the rest of the day.

LFN, glad daughter is back, hope everything checks out OK.

I just got a call from the title company, closing is scheduled for tomorrow at 1pm.... I told them that was the last shot that they will have... after Friday morning, I won't be available.
I guess the very stern email that my son sent them last evening got them off their butts....

So far things coming together after a few concerns over the past few days, shop time successful this morning, got the first coat of the oil finish on the blanket chest



While this coat is drying, I'm going to go to the PO to see if my check is there.... keeping my fingers crossed!

Woohoo! Check was there... in the bank already! All the loose ends now taken care of! (For now anyway)

We are supposed to get snow Saturday night and Sunday, high temps in the low teens, nights dropping to low single digits. Then more snow on Tuesday. The most they are saying about accumulations is "some areas are going to get a lot, up in the mountains, some areas in the valleys only a few inches"....
I don't like it when they don't give a prediction.... that's when we get dumped on.

The cold is going to reach way down to south central Texas.... better get your layers of clothing set out!

Pressure switch and pressure tanks that were replaced several months ago failed water flowing again. No charge

Prayers for your upcoming surgery is a success LS

Good deal.

I'm home. My son had a positive test, and my company wants me to stay home rest of week and get tested on Friday. He's fine, bored, and wanting to go outside and play. Depending on results, I might get to go back on Monday.

Today's chore list: (Its chilly, damp and drizzling)
1) Split firewood and stack for TxDon's polar vortex. Done. Can't we get Ron to shut the backdoor up there ehh???
2) Check antifreeze levels in all liquid cooled engines. Done.
3) Plug in chicken coop heater cord. Done.
4) Watch wifey work out with her 21 day beach body video. Done! This was the easiest chore.

Don, I had to use the chainsaw notch trick to split one of the big Post oak rounds with the electric splitter. It was prolly about 24" diameter x 18 long. Chainsaw was out of premix, and my son has ran us out of premix with his GT80....I had a small can of spare to get by with.

Is there such a thing as old oak being so hard....that it doesn't readily burn? This stuff is almost as hard as stone. Tuf on chainsaw chains. DAMHIK.

Ron, nice pictures. I sure enjoy them. Loved the doe. I just ordered a cheapie Dell refurbished.
Dell OptiPlex 5040 Mini Tower, 1x Intel Core i5 Quad (i5-6600) 3.30 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD, DVD-ROM, AMD Radeon R5 340X (2 GB), Windows 10 Professional

Shipping was free. $267.32 delivered. Not a speedster, but I'm just updating a guestroom computer for my autistic daughter....the old one has Windows Vista. She will use it to watch videos primarily.

Had 2 skinny pieces of pork tenderloin, and some sweet potatoes for lunch. Yummy, but I think my wifey wants me to look as skinny as she is....

Oh, pre-op test for Covid19 came back, all clear, and negative for any antibodies. No word on any vaccine here for our group. They are still trying to get the first group done!

The Fantic belonged to a friend that I used to ride and compete with. Back then I rode a Montessa 348. When he passed about 5 years ago his family gave me the Fantic which had been sitting neglected in a shed for decades. I made a winter project out of putting it back on its feet. Yup that’s my grandson.
I feel guilty about my internet speed, I’m rural and a quarter mile from the road, Verizon ran fiber back to me at no charge other than the monthly service.
