Kyle, the Vick’s nose inhalers are available on Amazon if you want to try them and if not available locally.

Good luck and get well. I’ve got pretty much the same stuff. Usually get it every year about this time. I just take some otc stuff and keep outlasting it.

Think I’ll order one of those inhalers.

It’s already up to 38f this morning. Nice sunny day. Ground is still wet after the rain Friday night.

The publicly visible political activity is in full swing in Texas right now as the candidate filing deadline has ended and political sign wars have started. Going to be an interesting season.

Prayers for everyone to have a safe, healthy and merry Christmas season!

Good Morning
It’s a soggy one. 51° and that’s the high for today. Rain is tapering off, should be about the end of it, but we got 3-1/2” since yesterday.

Didn’t get too much accomplished yesterday, but did make a launcher for 26.5mm flares, a buddy has 100’s of them, so we needed to see if the worked. They did….

Dropped wife’s car off for inspection, we went to Home Depot, I didn’t need any hose, but I saw 75 foot 3/4” heavy duty hoses marked down to $8.99, so I bought two just because. Did some paperwork, some cleanup, but wasn’t particularly productive.

Not a lot planned for today, if it clears up as forecast, maybe I’ll get the driveway markers in while the ground is (possibly too) soft. Need to run to Staples.
Oddfellows meeting tonight.

I checked the 24' box trailer, and the rear door is over 6' in height so it can haul tools in the shop that are too tall for the smaller trailer. But the tires on it are 12 years old, so aren't safe to use. Not sure I want to spend $700 on tires for just a few trips though. Also not sure I want to try another rental seeing as how the last time went so poorly.

Hope everyone's week gets off to a good start!
Are the tire sizes on the different trailers incompatible?

48 deg.
Wind has blown my snowman off the porch, even with 2 bricks holding it down..
Snagglepuss just came to the door, so I put her down with the other kitties for awhile. They have been in time out for their mischief behavior.
I'm coming down with something. One guy at Sat breakfast was getting something, then he was worse yesterday, so probably came from sitting across from him. I just inhale from a vick's bottle if I need to clear my sinus's.
I called to reschedule tomorrows dental appointment, will see if they call back. They are so hard to get ahold of.
The walking trail we use is underwater right now. Wife stopped and took some pics on her way home from Dr. appointment.

Cold and overcast. Rainy week forecasted. We need it.
Been fiddlin with the Chinese diesel heater I put in the shop last winter. Working off and on this winter, now not at all.
New fuel pump from Walmart arriving today $10. Hopefully that is all she needs.

Good morning! Low of 15°, heading up to 45° today. Sunny with high cirrus clouds.

We may get a white Christmas, well maybe a 'pseudo' one...
RNG, that weather system will be getting here on Friday. Depending on which forecast model, we can get rain and snow starting on Friday and going straight through Sunday night, snow being on Sat and Sun night.... so technically Christmas eve.... does that count?

Productive day yesterday, got the open areas on the porch roof closed in.... woodpecker hasn't been back yet... but, the other birds got the hint.

A before and after pic:

Then spent a bit in the shop. Got all the plaques cut, planed, and sanding started. Hopefully, get the rest done today. Wifey is in the kitchen again today, I'll check in occasionally to perform some cleanup committee procedures. I got in trouble yesterday doing QC .... checked too many cookies.

Tried checking in last night.... kept getting a message that TBN was having an issue.... gave up trying to log in.

Last Temu order due today. There were a few disappointments with the last order, not bad quality, but more of my mistake not reading the specific description. I was going to return them, but after filling out the reason for return.... well they credited the amount and said to keep or donate the items. Good deal.

Everyone have a great day!
