Poured first cup of coffee. 38° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 51° with showers in afternoon. Got correct fittings to install well pressure tank. Moved tank to cellar. Measured how it will fit and found a pipe union behind old tank. If it comes loose it will make job much easier. Neighbor that is going to help me found out he needs to work this weekend. So install will have to wait awhile. Got some of the broken limbs picked up and put on pile to be chipped. Still a lot move stuck to ground with ice. branches are acting like insulation for the ice. Couple of day of warmth and they will all be free to pick up. Today may be a conserve energy day
House Finch has brighter color this time of year.

. There's an electric fence that's been set-up a few metres away, but the gap in the Rectory fence + young, curious, children would be too much of a temptation. ;)
They gotta learn sometime. . .

🤣😂😂

Good evening all. 48ºF for the start, overcast, breezy. Variable wind and brisk gusts, overcast with drizzle till noon then slow clearing, and high temp was 69ºF. Clean ashes then fire in the insert to start day. Putter till town run to pick up meds and lunch and gas in pickup. Murphy was still 2.869/gal and QT was 3.199/gal.

Good Morning!

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

45.7F, drizzly rainy dreary day today.

more puppy cleaning and organizing in the house. Picked up some training treats, pads, puppy food, etc.

we had a baby corral we used in our place we owned in Florida to keep the dogs from going through the screens on the lanai, and I kept it when we sold a couple years back. I wanted to buy a second one to make a bigger puppy corral, but WallyWorld had none, so I need to order online and get it shipped 🫤

our walnut trees have not produced any more sap in spite of the recent cold snap, so this weekend I will pull the spiles and seal the holes with pruning spray until next season. My order of sap pails/lid/spiles arrived and I am ready for tapping sap!

time to search online for kiddie corral and have another cuppa.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

Glad motor home working well Drew

mostly gas diesel varies wildly here diesel $3.90 to $4.45 gas $2.80 to $3.29

concrete and asphalt do not work together dissimilar materials expand and contract at different rates

Prayers for all our Country Ukrainian citizens

50 outside this AM. Heading to lower 60's with rain moving in and out the next few days.

Flowers looking sad after taking two hard freezes in a row.

I took a break from most everything and got a haircut yesterday. Took about two inches off. I look like a different person. LOL.

Got back and wife decided she had enough of the florescent kitchen light. So having done all the electric in the Milk House, yep, with hesitation rewired and replaced the Farm House kitchen light. Kitchen is still original other than paint and new wires from the 1970's renovation. Appliances are new, but the floor, wall and ceiling need attention. This is the last project on the honey do list.

Since I was in and out grabbing tools I stopped by the lawn mower attempting to get it started, No luck. Think I will try a new spark plug and clean out the fuel system. When I have time.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe. Get or stay healthy.

46 going to 64. Feels much warmer outside than yesterday.

Don, glad you are back at work. Hope your wife is better, too. Garden looks good.

My wife hiked with me yesterday. That was fun. We hiked a section of AT that works its way for a couple of miles around a pretty reservoir without too much elevation gain...crossing many small creeks and ravines. I did an extra section while she sat near the water and read. Perfect weather, and talked with 2 thru-hikers...one guy our age from Vermont doing about 20 miles a day (in a hurry to get back home?).

Good morning from Central Texas. Only sprinkles, still awaiting some meaningful rainfall! So far, it has been way too dry!

The USAF Boeing LGM-30G Minuteman ICBM. Range 6000+ miles. Max speed 15,000MPH (Mach 23). Claimed 400 active at multiple sites.
Don't want to use them, but glad we have them.

Hope all have a great day.
