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

I cleaned out the stove and chimney yesterday evening. Got almost a gallon of hard flake soot out of the stove, barely a cup from sweeping the chimney, so my theory about not running the stove for a few days with some temperature changes causing metal expansion/contraction caused it all to crack and fall down into the stove, restricting exhaust flow. Good thing I got it going, because it is currently 19F! The HVAC started coming on about 3AM because there was no extensive bed of coals built up. But at least we had five hours of quiet comfy sleep.

Work was reasonably quiet - I guess I made enough stink that I was moved to the next level training and have a completely different grader, and things were reasonably sane. Something was going on, and I have no idea why, but it seems to have resolved itself.

Dog has to go to the vet for butt squeeze and nail trim (buff, no color) after work. It is Day 3 since her last trip up the mountain, and she is going to be greatly upset when we make a left at the light instead of a right…

I hope everyone has a wonderful productive happy blessed day!

Good morning, the low temp is 26 and going to a high of 25°F. Wind W 11 mph. 60% chance of flurries.

Over the past two days we've gotten 3" of snow. I guess I will go out and clear the ends of driveways.

Ron, do you have a meeting of the minds going on there?

Kilroy, what is a butt squeeze?

Have a safe day all

Currently 35º going to 65º in southern CA. Today marks 69 trips around the sun for me. Guess I'll just F off all day. :D
65º is warm enough for some top down motoring around the mountain later.
I got the old flail mower on the new MX yesterday. Will have to make some adjustments to the top link mount. It's a bit short. Looks like I can flip it 180º to improve the location... if not then I'll be welding and extension on it. Either way, all this Nov Dec rain requires some Jan mowing again this year. It is green everywhere. Good for the critters. Bad for the fire season ahead.
Hope you all have a great day

Morning all, 32 going up to 45, sun may show today
Had snow flurries yesterday, but too warm for any accumulation.

We will see how son does today back in school, hard to see him so down.

Wagtail - wrestling should be on tv, not on the grill, glad no serious damage.

So, someone has been putting their garbage in our cans. They seem to drop one bag per can to each of mine and my neighbors cans, since they are a different color and they fill up our cans so we can't put more in, we notice.
This time they left their name and address, on a card in one bag, so weird.
This is a $3million dollar, 11,000 sq foot house, so I don't think they are poor.......

What to do, should I take the bags back to their house or call them, advice?

Alien - love the wheelie bars on the scooters. Looks like a great way to get around, can they go on rough paths or only smooth?

Back to work, have a great day and be well,

I'd try to catch them on camera first.
It could be the "help" dumping the garbage, not the homeowner.

Good morning! Slow TBN this morning. I saw last night TBN was down while maintenance was preformed.
47˚F heading to 50, light rain .17" overnight.

Fire ball carcass, dog but squeeze, strange things on TBN this morning.
Today will be a desk day and a gym day as rain is expected through the afternoon, we need it.

27 day streak on the Spanish language app (Duolingo). This will be a long process. Learning slowly. At least the app makes it fun and competitive by putting you in weekly leagues of 30 people with the top advancing, the mid staying put, and the bottom getting demoting on Sunday evenings. For three weeks I was promoted but last week I stayed put, lots of competition in this league. I see this morning I have been knocked out of the promotion zone - top 7, and into the mid- stay put zone, I will have to get busy and complete more lessons to get more points and get ahead of that girl that knocked me out, and knock her out of the promotion zone and take her place.

LOL. That is bold and bizarre.

I'd go meet them. And if the opportunity presents itself, bring up the garbage issue.

Maybe they are under the impression it is a community place to drop off.
