31° right now...got a dusting of snow overnight. High in the low 30's today.

Yesterday, between work and the wifey watch, was crazy...lot of quality issues at work (I'll be going on-site tomorrow to work on some) and, although wifey's doing better and getting around on her own some, still had to be on my toes.
I don't see today being much less intense...

Good morning, low temp 3 and high to 7°F. Wind N 15 gusting to 22 mph. 60% chance of flurries.

We got about 4 inches or so from the last dusting, I will go out at 9 A.M. and plow that off.
We don't seem to be getting the big dumps like we used to get.

I just did the math this morning and I will have been in this house for 28 years come April Fools day.

My daughter in law has decided that January 14th will be her last day on earth. I don't agree with suicide doctor assisted or otherwise, but I will support hers and the stepsons' decision. Whether or not I agree with it is not the question. It is whether or not I will support the stepson AFTER she is gone and I will.

After plowing I have a town run to do and then conserve energy.


Have a safe day all

Egore the torturer earned his money today as I reach new levels of pain. He decided I could not bend my knee to the correct pain level after 8 standard exercises so this college football lineman "assisted" me in increasing my pain by manually crushing my heel to my butt resulting in extreme knee pain which produced yells, profuse sweating, shortness of breath to the verge of passing out. He said "Did good, come back two days." I did not complain that my session was cut 5 minutes short but walked out wide eyed wondering how did I survived that - and yes he would have gotten more than just my rank and serial number. All-time record knee flexion today (with pain) 112˚. We both know the Dr. has to have 120˚ flexion in just 2-3 weeks. This is not easy.

Been there; done that, and sure understand.

Poured first cup of coffee. 16° with light snow this morning. Heading to 24° with cloudy skies. Got my house chores done yesterday. Realized I needed to take Christmas Tree down. Got that done. Need to get some paperwork done today. Needs to be faxed to Insurance Company. They do not want it done with email. :banghead: No other plans for today.
I do not get many picture during the day from my trail cam. Birds use it for a perch.

David, hope you made it back home.

Buppies, safe travel home.

Looking, prayers for all 3 of you.

Roy, doing wife care and work can be very stressful.

Mostly, the big thing I see in the future is them changing the zoning. We are currently 3 acre minimum size lots. A very large area of the township is zoned that way. There are already big companies like Pulte working to change that.

Kyle, prayers for your Mom.

Don, ouch! #%&%~!

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

And that is the right decision after this tragic time...I commend you for that...

Sure can be! Fortunately, there's a bottle of Jameson's close at hand for an occasional "stress reliever"

Jameson's a nice smooth Irish Whiskey...best in a cocktail (IMHO) but is good when taken neat. My only mistake with Jameson was introducing it to the other care-giver...my stepdaughter.

I often drank Jameson in my after dinner coffee.

good morning all
30 out now, only going up to high 30's in sun and clouds today, with snow coming in tonight, about three inches.
Might have to fire up the snowblower since it will be cold next day and not much melting.

only thing planned for today is bundling up and going out to take down the xmas lights. With wet freezing weather ahead going to take
advantage of a dry day.

Buppies, safe trip home
Kyle, more prayers for your Mom

not sure we heard from Phil in Mass., how he did with last storm.

I'm considering buying a small utility trailer, a one tonner, to be able to take mower to church and help out there. I had a steel solid sided trailer I really liked and used hard
on the farm, from Ringo in Quakertown. I called them yesterday, got a price, 10-12 weeks to build. I'd prefer the 5x10 but can't fit the leaf bagger in that size, so need to go to
6x12. Larger size is 400 dollars more, probably a better decision. https://www.ringohill.com/ecommerce...-trailer-2,990-gvw-with-solid-steel-sides.php

Here in East Coast Canada the last few days were just beautiful. I couldn't wait to get out side and collect some firewood. Today it's raining and tomorrow it's 35 cm (about a foot) of snow coming.

 

[wngsprd]

31 going to 43. 2 to 4 inches more snow forecast tonight.

Hooray! We are back among the civilized...power was restored at 3AM...we got up and celebrated...by turning on the water at the sink and watching in amazement as water came out and we could wash our hands instead of using those stinky sanitizing wipes. I've got a shower and a shave in my plans today.

More prayers for your mom, Kyle.

Buppies and LS, safe travels.
