Good Morning!!!! 39F @ 4:00AM. A mainly sunny sky. High 57F. Winds light and variable.
A hard freeze warning has been issued for this morning and again tonight. And once again, there's no longer any rain in the 10-day forecast, even though the weather lady was calling for some next week on last night's broadcast. The only thing for sure is it will either rain next week or not.
Who knows what goes on in the minds of woodpeckers, Eric. Maybe all that hammering has left their brains a bit scrambled? If you decide to replace the aluminum, maybe a coat of paint would prevent them from seeing their reflection, and they'd leave it alone. Or maybe they like the sound it makes when pecked, in which case you're still screwed?
Interesting link on Ukraine, Drew, but I found the link on that page that discussed
delayed filing for Social Security more pertinent to my current situation. And that page also had even more Social Security links to explore.
Nice job on the grout, David. You'd never know you're inside a shipping container.
Good news on the cataract surgery, especially to those of us that have already been diagnosed.
Hope those of you dealing with ice and freezing rain continue to be careful. Scenes of frozen freeways from Oregon have me rethinking that direction.
Thinking back on the failed boot soles, it may have been due to the soaking they took last summer while exploring the bottom of Lake Oroville. More incentive for redoubling my efforts to locate a pair of more suitable river shoes. And thanks for the tips on replacement hiking boots.
No surprises with yesterday's machining task, other than the guy showing up an hour and a half late, which was somewhat offset by the pizza and beer he brought for lunch.
Watched a zoom seminar on the tax implications of the PG&E Camp Fire settlement, which seems to boil down to some of the money being taxable as ordinary income, and some not.
Hang in there gang, Friday’s comin,!
