Good morning!!!!

Checked weather for Christmas Day. Looks it will not be a White one this year. High will be in mid 40’s.

Yesterday afternoon got up into the low 50s. Cool but not bad for working outside. I chopped leaves at the farm. The last two oaks finally dropped. There are still some leaves on the beeches but they will have to take care of themselves because I'm about done with leaves. I hope to give the lawn here at the house a once over today.

I noticed if you get lined up just the right way you can see the green sprouts out across the field. Late start.

Back in September my wife got some cauliflower plants at the garden store. When she got home she discovered they were actually arugula. She planted them anyway. Waste not want not. The things have grown like weeds and are still growing despite the cold. They don't smell good to me but she likes them.

Last week we ran up to Maine. The builder thought the excavator would be digging the basement. When we got there there was 3 inches of snow on the ground. For some reason that put off the digging. The builder was hoping to get the house dried in before it got too cold. Guess he didn't make it.
Mornings that week were in the teens and the afternoons got up to the low 20s. That kept the snow around but it was beautiful. It really was a winter wonderland. We were glad to get home. That would be enough of a taste of winter for me. Could we be that lucky?

Take care.

Chris

27 working its way up to 56.

Saw 61 on the truck thermometer yesterday when coming home from my little Christmas shopping trip. Stopped to do a "recovery" hike on the way home. Was planning a big hike in the mountains today, but realized just not quite back to normal.

LS, that's a lot of snow.

Pop, cute pix of grandson. Great age.

34° now highs in the mid 40’s and mostly sunny today. Rain starts Sunday afternoon through Monday, another 1-2”.

The Mrs says thank you all for the birthday wishes. Went to an Italian restaurant we hadn’t been to in years. Food was excellent.

Drew, the tractor sees way more attention and loving than the snow plow does! I’m pretty AR on maintenance and such!

Slight miscommunication on the replacement hoses, next Friday not yesterday LOL. Not a big deal I like to wander around and look at stuff!

Dump run in a bit and not sure what the rest of the day will bring. (maybe try to find some Christmas spirit)

Enjoy the weekend everyone
Prayers for those in need

Good morning, the low is 32 and the high to a lofty 34°F. Wind NW 3 mph. 60% chance of rain/flurries.

I am glad I got those lights installed yesterday.

Not much on my plate for today.

NHBX, my Christmas spirit is in the liquor store.

Have a safe day all

Well over $1000 walking out the door when I did, probably took about 2 minutes for them to clear the registers. Maybe $500K per day?

Pretty close.

Well, worldwide, last quarter, they sold $642.2 million per day, so with 861 stores, that's over $745.9K per store per day.

If it was all rotisserie chicken, that's would be 150,000 cluckers per day. Now, how many feathers would that be?

Good Morning Guys,
Ct, 35 to start going to 50 or so !
Sunny skies so should be a good one !
Today I’m working on putting a lathe stand together to be able to turn the front legs of the rocking chairs that I want to build! Nothing fancy, just need to be able to get the lathe to working height !

I drink too much coffee on an empty stomach early in the morning and have found one Tums really helps.

Drew, according to my doctor I was eating to many Tums, so now when I need something I use Pepcid, supposedly better ! Too much calcium in the Tums believe!

Hope all have a blessed and safe day !

It's a balmy 51º going to 79º today. Been working on an electric conversion for a 1980's resistor coil golf cart. Got components mounted and wire diagram nearing complete. Hopes are to get a test today. Need to send out a few Xmas cards this AM if they are to arrive on time.
Went out to a family and friends Christmas dinner last night. Ate too much - lol
Good thing Christmas is only once a year. Will go visit with a friend today whose wife is ill. Something about his gate alarm not working, those driveway alarms are great for rural living. Nice to know when somebody is coming up the drive.
Of course a good dog can do the same...but harder to turn off.

79 degrees, sounds mighty nice Scootr.
now you wouldn't happen to be adding a little power to that golf cart, would you?

I'd like to get shock absorbers for my golf cart.
suspension is pretty crude, has plenty of clearance with 3" lift, but not enough suspension for bumps.
really designed for hard surfaces despite my aggressive tires. Local golf cart place seems to specialize in customizing.
I know they have a high performance mod/faster speed they can add, never had any interest.
I go pretty slow and just want to be comfortable if I go on a path or trail, but fully understand golf cart is not a UTV.
My Kubota RTV would go anywhere, despite slow steering. It had an amazing amount of compliance in suspension.
The golf cart has none.

Frits, your daughter's pics are a treat, thanks for posting.

Are you replacing the solenoids and toasters with a PWM controller, or changing the motor and battery technology as well?
