Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Drew, how wide is the garage window opening? Will a door fit with the existing header? Any electric wires crossing under it? How high is the header? Is it a side wall? Does bottom of wall sit on slab, or a block wall above the floor? What is the existing siding?
Maybe if things look ok using existing header, and no permits required, we can have a spring TBN door install party. A basic 9 lite prehung door probably $200-300.
They are not hard to install.

Well Evening all;
I'm doing my part to keep the storm down here;
rear chains are on the Branson 8050 and the IH 574,
tomorrow I'll get them on the little Kioti and maybe the NH 8160.
Depending upon which guessers you listen to we are at 1" to 5" or 4" to 10",
then the rest of the long range has showers and snow squalls every couple of days for awhile.

 

[NHBX]

Plows on
Fuel topped off
Blower greased, oiled, adjusted
Walk behind gassed, oiled, adjusted

Thats about all I can do to stop the snow from coming!

 

[Wagtail]

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 14.5C and it's presently 22.8C. High overcast with a gentle breeze.

Yesterday's Doctor's appointment was a quick in'n'out but it resulted in making a further appointment, in Launceston, for a CT scan later this month. Bugger me, that'll cost despite any medicare rebates = money up-front.

Things may or may not get done today however the bin needs to go to the tip very soon.

That's about it, take care all.

 

[Buppies]

Next week storm heavy rain Maryland south we will be on warm side

 

[KilroyJC]

Good evening! Low was 18°, hit a high of 48° today, sunny. That's going to change tonight when the snow moves in.... 5-8" predicted throughout tomorrow.

Then more snow Sat, Sun, and Monday. No prediction on amounts for that storm front, but so far the guessers are saying it will be a 'stronger' storm.

Got the edgetamers on the tractor bucket..... I'm anticipating needing to do a lot of plowing.....

Shop motivation is still MIA.... but, that may be a good thing. Emotional support for the MIL and wifey has been in the forefront... especially today. They are both really upset after seeing my BIL in person. I think he is trying to 'soften' his condition by not telling the full report to his mom and sisters.

Mostly, yes, he finally made it home around 19:00 last night. The 2.5 hour flight turned into 12 hours. He said the delays were ok, just sat and watched the world go by....
He got another chemo treatment today, PET scan in 2 weeks.

Sure makes one have some deep thinking.......

Kilroy, the wifey has pans and a few utensils from her Babcia, I have a few tools from my Dziadek, including 2 very old hand planes. All on display at this time, not in use.

Buppies, extra prayers for you and the Mrs. Take care.

Fritz, hope your wife can get some relief. My wifey does a cocktail of 500 mg Tylenol and 600 mg Ibuprofen. Seems to work better for her than just one or the other. Surprisingly, methotrexate upsets her GI tract a lot more than the other. She only takes it when "really bad"......

Everyone take care, have a great night!

I am currently putting the arm on one cioci (92) to “nobody else would want it and I can use it and you never will use it so send is to me” the old cow horn she used to stuff kielbasi. Not holding my breath - she is quite stubborn…

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Prayers for Mr and Mrs Buppies, and for M7040 and wifey, Billy's wifey's surgery.

Nice chairs Helogabals. Ka-ching for Wegners.

I'd like a big stack of McIntosh MC2500 amplifiers...
McIntosh MC2500 Amplifier

McIntosh MC-2500 Stereo Power Amplifier SILVER 100V USED JAPAN MC2500 vintage | eBay

Here's one to see if your speakers can handle Neil Pert's drumming. This is one of the songs that I use to judge sound systems. JBL L300's do it justice.

So much to comment on....so little time. I'm on my daughter's laptop. I hate laptops, even though this is a nice one. I have to borrow it for a class next week. Had to load Fusion 360 on it. Gonna get it forced down my throat. I'm a Mastercam guy.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Mostly, my friends had their baby. A darling baby girl, thank you for the prayers.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

News says Russia is using North Korean missiles, and pursuing getting more Iranian missiles. Crazy world we live in.

good morning all
been a strange night.
a three mouse night
put out new mousetrap in kitchen.
SNAP at 2am.
ok, good job
put out another one
SNAP at 2:15am
well, someone was wondering where their buddy was, met same fate
SNAP at 4pm.
little one, think I got the whole family.

no going back to sleep now....
24 out now, going up to 38 in sunshine, chilly day
one inch of snow now predicted for tomorrow but we are on the line so who knows

I have some errands to run today, then down to Philadelphia airport around dinner time to pick up a friend flying in/home.
I'm sure rush hour Friday night will be a fun time to drive home

pretty congested and sniffling, hope it's nothing

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee is brewing. 23° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 33° with some sky clearing. Grocery shopping went good. Very few people shopping and shelves were full. Stopped for a car wash on way home. Nice to see I still have a white car. Got a little sun in afternoon and took Sassy for a walk out to the back 40. Will do another Sassy walk today. Plus a some time on Recumbent exercise bike.
Sharing the seed cake.

Drew, checked the 3 traps I have out. No snaps in over 4 weeks. The hype is a lot lower here. Maybe 1" by Tuesdays. Snow plow is still in it's summer storage spot.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

 

[daugen]

wow, that is sure some fine feathered food
looks healthy vs my rendered cow blocks...
we have a really nice bird feeding place locally, I should go in and buy
a treat for the birds.
All our birds of color left over a month ago. My SIL is avid birder locally and said the same thing.
Only small birds left and some occasional big black birds going through. No cardinals. No blue birds.
No blue jays. My feeders aren't getting eaten. Where did the birds go?

someone must have feeders like Ron, that's it, and they are simply serving
better chow down the street?

I even put out those little hardened peanut butter balls and they don't disappear like they used to.
I wonder if an owl has taken up residence in the woods, or something has spooked the birds.
six bird feeders, few takers

haven't seen the neighbor's cat over lately so don't think the local panther is the problem.

19 going to 41.

Sodamo, glad Sophie's eye is better.

LS, did you find it? (the end?)

The ads on this site are getting bad for me...now overlaying some of the posts.

Had to take my wife back to the doctor yesterday to redo the bandage...plus, had something to return to Costco...great return policy, but the line was kinda long...so had pizza there, and did another "exploration" of the store...getting a little hiking done indoors, I guess. Picked up Turbo Tax so that makes the New Year official.

Well, that kept me from splitting firewood, so today's the day, although my splitter hates to start in cold weather.

 

[daugen]

clink clink clink clink
I can hear those tractor chains from here
this system will dump six to 12 inches of snow in New England, just a normal winter storm.
hopefully it will be a dry snow that is easily removed.
and no ice. Ice is when you are very glad you have chains.

maybe an inch here.
If only that, I'm doing nothing. Suppose to pour and warm up next day.
But I did get my shovel and snow melt out. Tis the season.

Phil, Scott, charge up those electric socks

Roy, somewhere up there, hope you are pushing big mounds of fluffy white snow in your John Deere.

 

[ronjhall]

Drew, when Sun is out lots of birds show up at my place. Lots of Doves, sparrows and Junco’s. Woodpeckers have been active. Cardinals are at feeders everyday. Blue Jays come and go. Nuthatch and Titmouse are always around. But are always moving. No Blackbirds this time of year.

 

[Thomas]

11F clear sky mid 20's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...4 hours part store,afternoon cut kindling clean up around wood pile,move pickup snowplow to better location...maybe date night.

Enjoy your day all.

 

[ronjhall]

Wngsprd, try using Duck Duck Go. I get no Ads. Little different than Chrome or others. But works for me. I use it on my iPad and iPhone. Works good on my PC.

 

[daugen]

Buppies, you are supposed to get ice Saturday, drive carefully
