23° now highs today in the low 30’s, a mix of sun and clouds with west winds 10-15 mph.

Feel like I’ve been in some kind of time warp lately, busy all day but doesn’t seem like I accomplished much of anything. Maybe it’s just getting used to being dark at 4:30 pm.

Yesterday was grocery shopping and stocking up for winters eventual arrival. We got about 3” of white stuff the other day but it changed to rain and was gone by early afternoon. Also installed a new gateway/router/modem or whatever they are called today. Was a relatively smooth install, the biggest pain was getting all the WiFi stuff talking again. Didn’t realize how much stuff we have, 2 laptops, 4 tablets, 2 phones, 1 printer, 2 roku boxes, 1 fire stick and a partridge in a pear tree lol.

Oh well that’s enough jabbering for now.

Helo, I enjoy reading your posts, makes me slow down and actually comprehend what you write 👍👍

Enjoy your day everyone (or all y’all)
A WiFi partridge, nice!!!

Good Morning!!!! 47F@ 4:30AM. Partly cloudy skies. High 63F. Winds light and variable.
This would be good weather for lighting burn piles, but the brush around here is still way too dry. The only rain in the 10-day comes a week from tomorrow, and it's only a couple tenths.

Still trying to get the solar power system installers on the new house to transfer ownership to me. The last exchange had them demanding a copy of the grant deed, so I made an e-copy yesterday. Contacted them via chat yesterday to find out how they wanted it, and was informed that the transfer "case" was closed and the old owner has to start a new one. I only have an address for them, so put together a letter requesting them to initiate the transfer again. Good thing there's no hurry, but also hope it doesn't get lost in the mail.

Got all the empty boxes unloaded from the van, and fixed a loose handle on a dollar store whisk with a little TIG welding. Automatic filter on the welding helmet kept flashing me, but the battery indicator says the battery is fine. The lights are out over the welding and work bench which didn't help matters much. Need to replace a bad wall switch, but the cover plate has twelve screws holding it in place and I was feeling a bit too lazy to tackle that yesterday. Maybe today.

Happy Hump Day, folks...

Surprised at the lower temps y’all south of me are having. I expect it from You’somes north.
Elevation makes a difference, too.

last year we had a couple days of sub-zero Fahrenheit temps. That was fun (for varying values of “fun”). . .

You’n’s is the proper term, if I am not mistaken 😂🫤😂🤣

Good Morning.
21 with a high of 35 forecasted under mostly clear skies.

Yesterday finished up with getting a deposit escrowed on the airplane that I’m selling for my friend’s widow. We agreed on less than 1% off the asking price, with very reasonable conditions. I have to move it to the shop that is going to inspect it this morning. It will feel good to have that checked off my list.

After that, I hope to get some chores done around here. I guess I have to add putting in the driveway marker poles to the list in case it really snows this year. Last year they did a great job of keeping the snow away.
But it is surprising what a great job a blanket of snow does of hiding the curving lane. It’s embarrassing how poorly I do at finding it without the markers. And I put it in and have traveling up and down it for 40 years!

I’ve had good success with setting up new access points being mindful to keep the SSID and password the same as the old one, the vast majority of the IOT connects without intervention that way.
