Good morning!!!!

Great day with my project.
Really like how the bathroom doors are coming out

Left side, durock, will be tiled as it is next to range.
Right side something of a question mark, but likely see how it looks painted. Refrigerator will cover most anyway.

I want to replace some windows in the house (alloy) as my wife wanted to paint the frames bronze colour. I told her it wasn't worth the hassle and cost. Time alone would be painful.
I got a quote for 3 windows and screens . It came to $900 + $90 tax for the three of them so I'm happy with that. It is a simple job to replace them. Might just get 3 more done as one is cracked and another broken and it costs silly money for new glass.
The cracked and broken ones were caused by guinea fowl flying into them.

good morning all
a warm 72 this morning going up to high 70's in heavy rain, starting around 11am
This system seems to be moving slowly and dropping a lot of rain.

since I totally struck out yesterday finding a stove, only left with mail order to try again. Have called four local appliance stores and none of them
have anything in stock. And I read this morning the container ships are stacking up off the ports of California. Doesn't look like we are headed in the right direction.

Had my first local apple last night for dessert, boy was it sweet and juicy. Headed over to orchard this morning to get some more as house present for friend.

Otherwise as the rains come down for the next day, hope to have a quiet indoor day.

David, sure is amazing what you can do with an old steel can!

Drinking first cup of coffee. 50° with rain this morning. Heading to 52° with more rain. Another 1.8" rain fell since yesterday. 3.9" total since Monday evening. Lots of power outages again from storms. Stayed in house all day. Not sure I will get much done today again.

David, door look food.

Alien, that's a lot of tax on $900.

Drew, sorry to hear no instock stove found.

Buppies, 7.49 of rain. Way too much for my area.

Kyle, looks like I will be eating a lot of beans at those prices for beef.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

Ron, only time I buy some meats is when the half price yellow sticker is put on it. Local Giant has relatively fast pull dates so
meat is always good despite it being on clearance. I usually shop early in the morning and my eyes always look for the yellow tags.
Anything over 6 dollars a pound starts to lose my interest. Yesterday ground turkey was 1.99; good deal. And I see the frozen 1.99
boneless chicken breasts were out for some promotion.

not many sales on vegan alternatives. Most of that stuff is in the 8-10 dollar a pound range which for plants seems a bit pricey.

I remarked years ago that the price on that chicken has stayed at 1.99 for a long time. Wonder how the chicken farmers do it.

time for a shower but no shave. Started my winter beard. I don't like the feeling of face hair on my lips so I keep the mouth area trimmed
pretty closely. But I sure like being warmer, my face fleece.

63 and raining going to 70. Thunder was shaking the house so much this morning I just got up early and made coffee...I don't know if there is such a name applied to it, but I'd name it Explosive Thunder...sounded like bombs dropping all around. I'll check the rain gauge after light, but got a lot...certainly not Buppies' heavy amount.

Eric, I've seen a lot of ponds like that...some folks around here have started businesses addressing the problem...in urban areas they use herding dogs to move them off...in rural areas it sometimes involves 12 gauges. I've eaten a lot of goose crockpot pulled BBQ and it is very good.

Don, we have a problem...on the local news last night they ran a recent nutrition/health study report...they concluded whole milk fat was heart-healthy...including cheese and ice cream. I didn't catch who did the study (or who paid for it).

Roy, I know you're further east, but I think it's still Thursday.

Good morning! Looks like I have the coolest temp, so far. 48˚F. It will not last long as soon as the sun comes up we will be in the 80s by noon, bright cloudless skies.

Drew I have not priced the vegan alternatives. Are you talking about the vegan fake meats? We don't buy those we make our own.

Wngsprd, I'll keep a look out for that study. If it's not done by the dairy assoc. it's a study that milk fat is better than some really bad other fat. I call them "better than studies". The news media then assumes it's healthy - wrong. It's a pick your poison study.

Roy, I know you're further east, but I think it's still Thursday.

Yeah...wishful thinking on my part!!!
