Mostly
my right thumb needs a re-build due to arthritis and it also locks up every time I move it. It clicks. Carpal as well. The left one is numb and the 3 fingers next to it get pins and needles all the time due to carpal tunnel in the wrist. Sadly exercises wont help at all. Thanks for your concern.

30 going to 61. Yesterday was first morning this year with ice in the birdbaths.

Kyle, hope you're feeling better, and it's nothing serious.

RNG, great photos of your trip. That dog probably drives better than his owner.

m70, looks like a pretty place to walk to school.

When I got home from the mountains last night, my wife was taking a chicken pot pie out of the oven. Smelled so good, and I was starved. I told her it reminded me of a bumper sticker on the truck parked next to mine at the trailhead...it said:
CHICKEN POT PIE
My 3 favorite things

I got to walk across this suspension bridge on the trail yesterday on the way up the mountain.

Good Morning!

23F here in Appalachia, and God has given us another opportunity to try any get it right — but with extra layers on…

I guess I will have to unbox the chicken waterer warmer soon. I have started retraining the hens to go into the coop at night - we have a secure steel mesh run with some roosting bars, and all summer they stayed out there rather than go in, but with the falling temps and rising winds, they need to be in at night.

I am hopeful that today the sawmill assembly will progress to at least engine installation, although getting the controls in would be nice while the weather is still tolerably comfortable for bare fingers on metal parts (it is supposed to hit 60F later.

MrsKilroyJC’s spider bite has finally cleared up, and this morning we will be going back to the gym for the first time in over a week (we normally do 3-4 days a week) so that should be entertaining “for varying values of “entertaining”…)

I hope everyone’s day is successful, safe and healthy!

Good evening all. 41ºF for the start, clear sky, light breeze. Wind had brisk gusts, clear sky, and high temp was 61ºF. By Friday high temp back to 85ºF, Tuesday after that down to 70ºF, along with .5 inch rain. Went to the fire station to replace batteries in breathing apparatus, could not finish, no enough batteries. Chef said he would get more today. Bike ride this afternoon, needed arm warmers, and wind penalty almost 1 mile. Did get nap in and help wife mast pasta primavera. In spite of 1.3 inch rain not much water flowing into lake.


Kyle sorry about the fever, any clue what caused it? prayers sent.

prayer for all, especially Jay/Peg, Kyle's daughter and family drama, /mom's breathing, /learning new job, /friends upcoming new baby, Bird /aging issues, Roy /palpitations, /angina, /night time issues, /wife ankle,recover from getting sick, Billy /wife back & hip, mom hypertension & congestive heart failure, David(moss) /remodel, /divorce, Buppies /new skin cancer spot and treatment, /elbow healing, /wife knee healing, Thomas /gout, /wife's pain, Phil /reflux, /wife's eyes, Frits/ daughters hip replacement /veteran son with mental issues, Ken /dad possible dementia, Steppenwolfe /son-auto immune disorder, Grev /wife's eye, Ted /knee recovery, /retirement, /family issues, /wife feeling bad, Lou / eye issues, Doug and wife/health issues, /nerve and pain, / wife headaches, David(sadamo)/Sophie's new eye surgery recovery, Chris /neighbor's granddaughter and Covid issues, Scaredy/shoulder dislocation, /wife not feeling well, /marriage, / friend stop drinking, Paul/ wife's healing from back surgery, Gale and KY/ tornado victims, Mike /5 year plan, Dennis /retirement plans and land purchase and development, / brother "alligallyitus" and back in hospital, Drew /foot heel issues, /friend cancer diagnosis and recovery, Mike /spine injury and recovery, Scotty, /back pain, Helogabals /second opinion, /wife's friend situation, Mark /wife colon surgery, Ukraine war, and Country.

Mostly, no clue what caused the fever. Had people praying for me, and I believe that kicked in my immune response and kicked whatever to the curb. Felt much better Wednesday morning.

I hope you can remove the Family drama from your prayer list for now. We have taken a "wait and see" attitude, allowing forgiveness a chance to heal the young man who concocted the threatening text. But we told the sheriffs/county prosecutor to hold the evidence and we will retain the right to press charges if anything else happens.

New CNC mill arrives today! (hopefully without a hitch). But the electricians are awaiting a 70 amp shut off box to connect it to our buss bar. Not until the electricity is hooked up will the mill company come and finite the install.

Have a blessed day all. Prayers.

Good morning! 55˚F heading to the mid 80's, we just had one cold day. But that was enough to pre-sell out of all campfires at the "Farm".
There are 10 camp fires Twice daily 4 hours each on Fridays and Saturdays evening/night (early fires are $40 less). There are 4 campfire days left this month that would be 90x10x4+50x10x4=5,600. That ought to be good to keep me supplied with diesel for a while.

The appliance day went well at the plant based meeting except we forgot to make the nuts butter before the water was added but the "milk" turned out good anyway. Samples were liked. Too bad we weren't getting a cha-ching for each machine sold. We did the demonstrations with the Nutramilk and the Nutr milk machines. I like the Nutr machine best for making just milk because it also boils the milk and soy milk must be boiled. The Nutramilk machine does not boil but makes more than a cup at a time and can also be used as a powerful food processor.
Also demonstrated by others: a dehydrator, ice cream machine, sprout growing, and a personal blender that uses mason jars.
