Good Morning!

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

made it through the work week - YAY! No butting heads with management over training issues for two days. YAY

25F allegedly going to low 50’s, but at least sunny all day. Chainsaw will get a workout! gotta wait until the temps get above freezing before Mrs. will go, though…

Bailey says it is nice under the covers this morning

i hope everyone has a restful healthy happy blessed day!

, Doen't Black locust have good BTU per pound of wood?

Actually most fossil fuels have the same BTU output per pound, but the density varies greatly. A cord of Willow or poplar will weigh a lot less than a cord of oak, and hence have a lower BTU output. Same for propane at just over 4 lbs per gallon vs heating oil at 7 lbs per gallon. The btu content is proportional to the weight.

Good Morning
It’s 36 and overcast, but not going to be a bad day with a high of 40.

Yesterday was taken up with preparing dinner. Brisket, homemade MAC and Cheese, baked beans, grilled veggies, Cole slaw and tres leches cake for dessert. Wife made the dessert and veggies, I did the Brisket and other stuff.
It was a zoo, with the kids three dogs, the grand son and Zoe, seemed like somebody was always stirring things up.
We all slept well afterwards.

This morning I’m off to Concord NH after a quick shower and bowl of special K. Hopefully leave there around 1. The ground is a serious swamp out there, making any outside work impossible when I get home.
Maybe just park in front of the new TV, which is in front of the treadmill and check them both out.

Good Morning. Cold, near freezing, and getting a little warmer later, maybe in the high 50s. We are trying to dry out from the incredible rains last weekend. I got my new trash pump online ( hose adapters arrived). Hopefully we can avoid more garage flooding.
Yesterday was a great day. I got the hotrod insured and registered. Bring on the spring weather!

36 outside this AM. Heading towards upper 40's. Cloudy, doubt it will clear up.

Need to do some shopping today for lights and an exhaust fan for the Milk House.

Hope to do some siding too. And looking out the front door this AM, looks like I need to get the chain saw out and pick up lots of sticks. Pretty windy yesterday.

David, your shelter is coming along nice.

Hope all have a great weekend. Be safe.

Scootr, that's quite a car. 427 Cobra.
who built it? (assuming ? not oem)
if it's "real", well....wow.
gorgeous car

I never got to ride in my brother's kit Cobra, 351, probably would not fit

I got the hotrod insured and registered. Bring on the spring weather!

Nice! What model & year is it? I suspect pre 1976 for the California emissions exemption.

I acquired this replica from the widow of the builder through an online auction house call Bring A Trailer. It's a fun site but be careful or you will end up with a new toy like me. The AC Cobra is an iconic 1960s car made famous when Texas race driver/builder Carrol Shelby stuffed a Ford V8 into it and won Lemans beating the Ferraris. This replica is a way to experience driving the classic without actually paying the million dollars plus price tag that any running example would bring today.
This is a 1965 model. Smog and safety exempt. It is the rawest driving experience you will ever get. lol

Good Morning!!!! 43F @ 5:15AM. Sunny to partly cloudy. High 53F. Winds light and variable.

That was painful to read, Ted. Another one of Life's cruel jokes.

In addition to snow, I'm allergic to ragweed, and that pretty much rules out anything east of the Mississippi River. But keep those ideas comin'!

Nice car, Scott. If some's good, more's better...

Insurance adjuster never reached out to the contractor yesterday, or any day of the previous week, so I left more voicemail for the claims administrator yesterday. Sheesh, doesn't anyone ever answer their phone these days? Then I got a letter via email from the adjuster stating they consider the claim closed after making that initial payment. This in spite of reassurances in every conversation I've had with her that it would remain open until we can determine the actual extent of the damage. Crap, hope I don't have to hire an attorney.

Got what I hope is a referral to a good real estate agent in the area I'm looking at, so sent him some background info and a listing I'm interested in to help get him pointed in the right direction. First conversation with him will be sometime next week.

Now comparing Sprinter and Transit specs, and also looking at used market. As expected, not much difference in price between used and new, and new ones are rather thin on the ground. Terrible time to be buying trucks or houses, but there ya go.

Parts for Ford came in yesterday, so after it warms up a bit I'll dive into that.

Not sure what else I'll get into today, but I hope it doesn't involve phone calls and the internet.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
