Drew ordered mine today also, now the race is on to see who get's theirs first, and who uses theirs first.
Drew will you be able to run around outside at each train stop and sample the weather?

Drive to Mom's wore me out today but after a quick nap was able to squeeze in 5 mile bike 1.5 mile Whipper hike.

Kyle if you or any of your kids has trouble sleeping just read this:

Glad your surgery went well Randy and happy belated birthday RS.

Kyle smelling any smoke?

A control burn on a dry and windy day, what could go wrong, hold my beer . . .

Question do you think that if a VFD was involved in this control burn they should be liable for any damages?
I know Rick said his VFD stood by on control burns but at a meeting in our VFD I said I would not be involved in any control burns, that is not the purpose of the VFD and we were not insured for any liability so only the fire officers would be liable. Our VFD stopped facilitating control burns. There are actual companies that do control burns but they have insurance and and charge a lot.

Drew, thanks for the link, ordered mine today.

Randy, glad to hear the surgery success.

Don, way to go! You just don't want Egor to have any fun!😮😲

RS, happy belated birthday! Hope many more trips....

Wifey is happy, shelf was "perfect" (I found a small scrap piece of laminate countertop) Total of 3 cuts and 3 screws....done.

Decided to do the propane run today... I'm still missing one tank.... asked the son if he possibly could have left it behind (he did last run)---- his answer--????
So, bought 2 more 40# tanks / fill..... a quick $300 spent.
Since I was in a spending mood, went to Costco. I got off easy there, only $281.
I was expecting to get oil and windshield wipers to replace my depleted stock, but neither were on sale, so passed on them this trip. Did get one of their rotisserie chickens for dinner. It was delicious!

I swapped out the single wet cell battery on the new RV with 2 AGM batteries. I was concerned about the interface / converter for the solar panels being able to charge them.... all good! One press of a button and it's set for AGM. Both batteries/cases just barely fit, another 1/4" and they wouldn't. Also got the tire covers put on. We can't wait to get going somewhere......

Good evening all. 43F for the start, light breeze, partly cloudy sky. Windy, partly cloudy sky with more cloud on horizon, and high temp 72F, DP 39F. Weather going to cool off then go up and down with more fire days then not in 10 Day forecast. Putter to start day, then bike ride in the wind, air penalty was 1.1 mile :( After lunch tried out chain sharpening job worked good, got most of pile bucked before tank ran dry. Not much splitting required on that pile. Then nap :) Grilled brats for dinner.

The downside to not cleaning snow Monday is it’s all ice now. Should have pushed the short paved section right off the road. Came home, stopped at end of drive to get mail, and couldn’t go, even with AWD. Had to back on to dry road and get some movement. Not much slope either.
Warmer tomorrow, before more snow Thursday morning, and cold Thursday night and Friday.
My Amazon package due last week by USPS isn’t coming. Amazon said to submit for refund, they could not send replacement order. Was one of those oxygen meters you put on a finger.
Another item supposed to come today by UPS didn’t come either. A couple Shure wireless mics for church. I’ll give it a day. At least tracking showed it arrived in town and out for delivery.
New cat doing a lot better, although it was in my lazy boy.
