Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

31 heading to 53 and rain. I see a little snow up in the mountains already on radar. Pretty sunrise right now.

Yesterday put up some new Christmas snowmen in the yard...actually a whole family, not just men. Looked pretty lit up when it got dark.

Sharpened my chainsaw and cut a load of firewood. Took down a dead oak...had it set to fall perfectly in a narrow gap between two small trees...didn't notice one limb that caught another tree's limb and spun it on its axis...so it fell slightly off and got hung up in the air...had to struggle with it a while but got it down to the ground. Today will be splitting day.

33 outside right this moment, heading to upper 40's. Rain expected this afternoon.

Hello December.

The in-laws are treking up from Florida. The stress is here already. What txdon stated about home care.....
my in-laws have not been thinking about that and now will rely on us 3 hours a way to take care of them.

All I know, is what my parents did and in-laws are doing, I will not do to my kids.

On a more happy thought trail, GM. Be safe.

I've got 5 acres of mostly bush. The house sits on one and the other 4 are very well treed. It is my first and last home buy. It is my intention to croak at home, not in a hospital.

Got the WW juice siphoned out of the bottle and put in a gallon of -40. I will save the stuff I took out and use it in summer after I add some more of the pink stuff.
I found the 4 led spot lights that I couldn't find in October.
The temperature is down to 60 in the basement. The flies are coming upstairs. This is a good thing. It might take all winter to eradicate them, but eradicate them I will, eh?

What are the larvae feasting upon that enables hatching all through the winter?

Busy day ~ got a clean bill of health from the ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) this AM. Cataracts gone! Implant lenses yielding 20/20 with very little stigmatism remaining.
That's better than I have ever seen! Readers for computer and close work.
Got a six pack of those scattered about in the office, garage, shop 1 and shop 2 with a few spares in the car etc. Got an hour of seat time in this afternoon fixing the field next door. This time of year I like to fix terrain so it's easier to mow next year. I eliminated all the hand work on my place doing this over the yrs. Baked up some chicken breasts and I'm calling it a day.
Hope Ya'll have a good evening.

Latvija is less than 2.000.000 people. Actual Latvians are ~ 1.300.000. I am too lazy to check, but I would guess there are more that 10 cities in USA bigger than our entire state
And we here have I would guess 10 different dialects. People from seaside barely can understand those who live near Eastern border.
I am a kind of language freak and I can tell with like 80 % accuracy from which city person is I am talking with.

I am totally with you
Now I have kids to rise, bring to school and put them on right track.
The day they will stay on their own I will move away from y'all


Here diesel = gas = 1,7 € / l

Spell check is great tool. Without it I wouldn't write anything here. For grammar check I should give a try



Thank you for explanation. I mean I understand
But I am confident, I will never use this. OK maybe will, but then not in a correct way. Don't look 4in up



Enough with reflection, should create something on my own
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Early morning today.
Had school run
-3 C, overnight had like 1in of snow
Later will make few runs with broom on my backyard and driveway. Yesterday broom made great effect, got bare concrete, friction like at summer. But that worked for hour or two.
Really snowing a lot.

Forecast says next week snowing will stop and become colder, up to -20C = 0F

Plan to visit machinery show. That exhibition is more for metal working folks. I am in woodworking. But still, has to follow economy trends

Have a great Friday y'all !

Spell Check has its limitations. There is a reason I have worked for several years training the algorithm to get it to autofill the word “autokowrecked“ when discussing it…

good morning all
looks like many of us are going to have a wet day and weekend.
RS, your berries are going to get well watered.

rain this afternoon here, but that gives me the morning to get things done.
want to run downtown to hardware store to get more xmas lights, have a couple more bushes to cover
I also ordered more online, different lights.
already got a thank you from lady across the street who said she loved my lights and Santa.
one of the light sets I get this morning hopefully will be for her.
Going to go over and see if I can do a few bushes near their front door.

by the time I got all the soup tupperwared, I had six big containers.
yup, made too much, but since 90 percent of it is vegetable, it will be healthy food
for me for a while. I froze two containers, probably ought to freeze two more.
after two or three helpings of same stuff, well....

Scootr, good news about your eyes, you must be relieved.

David, how much rain has the Kona storm brought?

was really lazy this morning. Got up, got my coffee, and returned to a really good novel.
a big switch from getting up and wondering how far I have to drive today...
rv is cleaned out and winterized, leaves are done, most of outside xmas stuff done.
will do inside this weekend while it rains.

Saturday is the Snowflake Festival at my local private school and all the little kids are dressed up as snowflakes and
Snow White theme. Won't be good if it rains...thankfully forecast is cloudy and 59 tomorrow.
thinking I might take my drone over and see if I can take a picture of something interesting

Good Morning!

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

Happy December!

39.4F, might hit 60s later, rainy day.

Dentist trip went well, everyone got a good cleaning, everyone had a good bill of health. then hit the local library thrift shop, and added to our respective reading materials collections. Lunch at favorite Mexican restaurant, a little grocery shopping (milk, squash, oatmeal, and the meat department had a nice package of pork fat trimmings) and good-looking loose mushrooms. Went back home, put a piece of pork loin in a Dutch oven with some onions, garlic, a diced apple, a splash of apple cider vinegar, salt/pepper/dill and five small bay leaves, and set that on top of the wood stove. This morning it was fall-apart tender and QC determined it needed a little more salt. Will be served for dinner with wide egg noodles.

also diced and rendered out the pork fat, got about two cups of crunchies and a pint+ of nice white lard, which needs to be reheated and filtered later today, then into a Mason jar for later use.

Rain coming down pretty good now, off to add some wood to the woodstove to make things cozy.

i hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

42º this am ~ cloudy and rain predicted. Was supposed to go RC flying this morning but I'll wait for nicer weather. Seeing clearly is a blessing. Hope everybody has a great day today.

good morning, 36 going to 45 warmer but rain is on the way

Checked on the lab results and they came back good for cholesterol and diabetes
A1C of 5.8, Acceptable these days is 5.7 or less, close. Used to be anything under 7.0 was good

Helo, on the island of Bornholm close to your area I can barely understand them. Supposed to be the same language?

Congrats on the A1c. You must be doing something right.
That's a good number for anybody watching their blood sugar.

Kilroy, putting that apple in with the pork sounds wonderful. Have to remember that.
a little natural sweetness
