Good Morning Everyone, it's Family Day here in BC. Sent messages to the kids this morning

thought I'd participate a bit this morning while I have a few minutes ...

BEF - I hope that you feel better soon
sodamo - that looks really nice
Joel - I miss the arena days, my daughter played Ringette. I also miss soccer fields / football / basketball / volleyball / badminton ... busy years those
Buppies - thank you, and to others for the prayers and support
mostly_ - thank you, doing what i can, staying on the high road rather than reacting, had a nice long soak in the walk in tub (good place to gather my thought)
ronjhall - great photo, love woodpeckers (a nice break from crows, ravens out here)
KilroyJC - sounds like you made good progress on the path / fencing; all the best with your avoidance techniques
Spike - thank you, ... i think
daugen - nice catch up. i have brand new tires on my truck, part of a trade deal that i made months ago ... i know that they are wider / bigger, ALL TERRAIN 10 ply, about $400 each, but the brand escapes me - i'll have a look
scootr - I can hardly wait for Spring, another month of snow here
Popgadget - cool photos, and they had the courtesy to move the car first
kenmbz - Lord Willing and I can keep the house, ..., I think that I will enjoy the yardwork again, those photos inspire me
m7040 - some tenants are great, some not so much... (I'm dealing with the not so much these days)
rswyan - i'm tired just reading you activity list, very productive ... i'm eager for better weather first
Thomas - the roadblock made me laugh, greetings
Kyle - cool photos, great collection

there, I'm caught up on this thread again ... for an hour or so

Missed the arrival of honcho. Still have no idea what she looks like. Avoidance successful so far

48F and mostly cloudy @ 18:00, heading down to around 35F for the overnight low.

Got recycle bin and the large trash can in the garage which was full of recycables taken up to the road and set out, also some vehicle parts and burnables taken up to the shop.

Grabbed the drum for the dust cyclone on the way back down to the house and got it moved into the garage:

Probably locate it at the end of that bench next to the drill press for now.

Fixed myself a Braunschweiger sandwich with some chips for a little snack.

Triangular piece for sanding table trimmed to fit and slots trimmed out for the crossbars:

​

Fit checked:

​

Then glued in place:

​

Woman took the garbage up to the road and set it out on Her way out to do Her returns.

Going to shave and grab a shower real quick before She gets back.

Hopefully get that first coat of poly put on later.

Spent afternoon in bed sleeping. Got up took shower so at least feel little cleaner. Just had supper, fed the cats, even snagglepuss who ran in as I was getting a bag of pellets for the stove.
Just heard cat jump down in the basement, afraid he’s going to hurt himself. He was just fed, no reason but ornery for him to jump over the wall. He jumps from dryer top and grabs top of wall and pulls himself up thru 4” hole.
Taking it easy rest of the night, will probably be up late with 2 naps today.

Good ('Shrove' Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 9C and it's presently 18.8C, overcast with a breeze. There was 1mm in the gauge at 0900.

I've got a Doctor's appointment this arvo... just a 'follow up' on the blood-work from a fortnight ago. Excellent opportunity to have all of my scripts renewed too.

The "Mad Horse Woman", tomorrow, is away to the mainland (Adelaide, I think) until the 3rd of March and has asked me to feed her horse a 'morning biscuit' of Lucerne 'til she returns. A few more bottles of wine will be coming my way, in thanks.

Pikelets for Tea tonight!

That's about it, take care all.

Not sure about the later models, and what exactly VW did with all the ones that got recalled. Had a friend of a friend who did not want to turn his in. He loved it.

VW has done a series of recalls on the DieselGate engines. The first one applied a software update. The second one changed hardware in the emissions system. Depending on when the second update was done, another one of the same might be needed to get the car to 150000 miles, which is the end of the emissions warranty.

bef, did you post the video to youtube?

daugen, I am on Toyo snow tires which I hate and Continentals in summer.

4" of snow coming tonight and more on Thursday. I'm ready, hydraulics all fixed up for the next ten years, tractor full of fuel. I will turn on the block heater when I get up in the morning.

Have a good night all

Cody got into the snowplow that I had coated with Fluidfilm with a brush as a thick coating. He looks pitiful like an oily duck and it stinks bad. He is going to the groomer tomorrow to get cleaned up.

Daughter called. She has 10 months of leave saved up after working for the State Department for 14 months because of no paid OT but they give comp time instead. She only used 3 days of sick leave for her hip replacement because of constant phone calls involving her.

Wag, had to look up Pikelets with its Welch origin.

I have a full set of snow chains for all 4 wheels of the tractor but it has been years since I have used them. The bulbs are coming up and ready to bloom. Crazy winter

The excavator did good today getting over a deep ditch using the boom to hold up one end while going over it. Pretty neat trick.
