Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

good morning all
38 going up to 46 in clouds
rough morning, many trips to bathroom, something is sure upset. Hope I didn't get a bug or something in my travels yesterday.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about the rv. Realized there was a deal killer and amazed I did not see it first time.
Was so impressed with complete bathroom on rv, a split head like many, except I forgot to look at the other part, the part with the
sink and mirror, etc. There is none. None. I'd have to brush my teeth in the kitchen sink. No.

the reality of this is I need a stronger tow vehicle. And until I'm ready to unload the Volvo, which I like, looks like I don't have a solution for now.
Yes Buppies, too small. I need a 28-30 footer.

not a lot planned for today
mega millions up to $1B. That would help my rv planning......

hope you all have a nice weekend.
RNG, be safe and hope no more damage. What a lot of rain coming in out there, days and days to come too.

Give that cute little squirrel some seed.

What kind of mesh system you use?

30 outside this AM. Be lucky to get to 50 today. Nice though, not too cold for this time of year.

Moons about going down, nice light with the fullness. Gives a different view on the property with the glow. Have to sit down and take it in.

Not much accomplished yesterday. I looked at my starter strips, then looked at the building and realized I am going to need some concrete screws for part of it. The Milk House connects to the barn via a walkway. I am leaning towards enclosing the walk way since it is covered and would make a nice "mud room". LOL. Scope creep.

Today, maybe, just maybe I can get to the back forty for wood, and at least get the starter strips going. I also need a hole in the wall for the mini-split. Attainable goals, on the internet anyway. LOL.

Let's see what the day brings. Hope all have a good weekend, be safe.

Rip, what was the second (third?) floor of the milk barn used for? Hay? I don't see a loading door up high. Other side?

Only one floor up. Is wide open up there. Use it for Hay storage. Access door is on East side, other side.

Barn is getting new roof soon.

Had an idea to put a spiral stairway into silo, that would connect to second floor of barn via a small walkway when the new roof goes on. Have to see what it looks like when the metal comes off. The silo is feet away from the barn and is poured concrete.

Morning all! 30 degrees going to 38ish with sun. 3 or 4 inches of heavy wet snow in the driveway so that will be today's project. Spent all of yesterday adding two links to each cross section on my tire chains to get them easier to install and remove. Got them done and installed just in time it seems as I will need them today.

Health wise I'm doing great. Keeping weight below 145 even with the holidays was a tuff battle with all the sweets around! Wife still can't talk so we need to follow up with the doctor again. 3 weeks with no voice is really a pain in the butt! At least her broken leg has healed up and she can walk normal again.
Christmas ornaments I made and gave out were a big hit! Now I need to start on next years.
Time to feed the pellet stove and shovel the walk.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up to bad…).

26F, we fired up the wood stove after a week of warmer weather, where the HAPVAC was not overly annoying. But it kicked on earlier, and with the forecast of ”low to mid 30s” it got fired up last night, and the HVAC was blessedly silent until around 4:30 AM, which is within acceptable limits. . .

Projects for today are:
-Head to BigBox Home Imrpvement for StarLink Antenna Mast materials;
-Erect said mast;
-See if it works…
-Start putting away Christmas decoration.

and now, the dog is saying “WALKiES!!!!!”

have a great day everyone!

That took me all of 3 hours mainly because I stopped and yakked to a couple of neighbours. One is drunk most of the time and the other looks like he is about 90. He is 12 years younger than me. I must be doing something right, people mistake me for about 55.

Then you're drinking from the right stream.

Good Morning
It’s 37 and will likely only go up 5 degrees or so. Another dry day.

Yesterday was another day that went according to the plan. Got to Florida and back with the only hiccup being it’s that the catering was not waiting for us at the airport, a call to the caterer got it there in time to keep us on schedule.
Here’s a view looking at the Delaware bay over Lewes, DE toward Cape May, NJ on the way home.

Got home in time to bring up the trash cans, briefly play with Zoe, go pick up a pizza and fuel the Prius with 8 gallons of $3.14 gas after the points discount from the Grocery store.
Played music with the boys, walked Zoe and went to bed afterwards.

Today will be similar, but Punta Gorda is the destination. Dropping off one passenger and coming right back empty. But no agenda for when I get home. Maybe take Zoe to visit oldest son’s family and dogs. I’m doing as much as I can to keep her socialized, as it’s important not to have an antisocial big dog when she grows up.

Still a muddy mess outside, not sure when I’ll be able to get anything accomplished out there. Probably should put a battery minder on the tractor.

New Study with 54000 participants show potatoes do not increase risk of type 2 diabetes, IF you don't add fat when cooking.

"When we separated boiled potatoes from mashed potatoes, fries or crisps, boiled potatoes were no longer associated with a higher risk of diabetes. They had a null effect,” Pokharel said in a press release.

The study found that those who ate the most potatoes also consumed more butter, red meat and soft drinks, which are known to increase the risk of Type 2 diabetes."

Red meat is not bad for you.

Green, fuzzy meat is bad for you.

Looking forward to hearing your results. I'll be wishing you success.

Thank you! I will be satisfied if I can get this thing up where it needs to be without breaking anything. . . And this is a “temporary installation until I finally get my scaffolding so I can put it where it really needs to be on the house…

Drinking first cup of coffee. 30° with clouds this morning. Heading to 34° with peak of sunshine in afternoon. Sassy got extra treats for trying to warn me about alarm. We both slept good last night.
Install of new WIFI 6 mesh network. Went as good as could be expected for a older person. Main computer now has 948 MBPS Download and 24.53 MBPS Upload. All cameras are happy with good signals. My iPhone has good WIFI at back barn. Which is 180' from house. Still need to install a outdoor Mesh WIFI unit at barn. It is on backorder.
Today will be a conserve energy day.
This little squirrel keeps trying to get access to feeders. No luck yet.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

I hope I can get the StarLink up and running today!

You wouldn’t happen to know a Gulfstream Flight Engineer named Lem, would you? Former Marine, collects lanterns?
