Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

63°F and .79 inches rain. Not any drier.

I’d got the kids a workable budget spreadsheet. Should be good for a couple of months as we work through a couple issues.

Looks like today will be watching some football.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Well you are an impressively friendly bunch in this thread. I made one post with temperature and weather, and found it attracted 10 likes!!

We did get snow-- yay- first real snow of the year. So, behind schedule.

15F overnight, still only 22F at almost 9am. Colder than usual.

Good Morning Again,
Phil, beautiful job on the bowl with cover. Im guessing a little tricky hollowing the inside out ! Nice touch with the cover !

..Watch NY Giants last game of the season...going to be ho hum of day.

GM, Thomas, thinking the same thing, do we want to lose and get top round draft pick, or just take it to those Eagles ??

learned how to drive in snow in a 1966 VW bug with studded snow tires.

GM Drew, I had a 1964 VW bug, that thing was great in the snow, also had studded tires on mine in the winter, but not much in the way of heat or defrost !

Lou, we have large packs of turkeys cross our fields on a regular basis also !Must be some good bugs out there !

Hope all have a good day !

Neighbor is a small dairy farmer spreads manure almost daily, the turkeys travel up on the mountain behind me and down to his hay fields for the pickings.

[buckeyefarmer]

41 deg.
Good worship this morning. What little bit of snow and ice we had is already gone except in the shade in front of the house. Was 33 deg when I left this morning and it was already melting.
Good lunch at usual place.
Plowhog, nice view there..

 

[Buppies]

Nice day so far today breezy but 45 degrees

 

[buckeyefarmer]

This is my average temperature per year for the last 14 years, as recorded on my power company bills. Our average temperature has dropped for the 3rd consecutive year, 3 degrees cooler than the highest of 2017. Thought this was interesting.

21F on/off snow showers.

Looks like we shall reach 11" of snow by morning elevation was the key in this storm comparing near by towns.
Clean off all the roofs but not long walkway or path that's tomorrow,plowing was joy easy with pickup but still need tractor tomorrow for those hard to get areas tomorrow.

Plans for the evening feet up continue watching Giants play for pride.

Enjoy your evening all.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 20.5C and it's presently down to 17.7C, overcast with rain, calm with wind increasing later. There was 3.0mm in the gauge @ 0900.

Very sad news regarding my other neighbours (behind me but not the ones that I have Christmas lunch with); they lost their only child [son, 15yo] on Saturday. He took his own life. A couple of other neighbour's tried to inform me on Sunday morning but I was at Church. Bugger.

Not much planned for today, what with the rain. Most likely I'll check to see if I've got enough diesel engine oil on hand to do a change on the 4105 whilst also doing a hydraulic oil change later on this week. It looks like I can do the oil change on the Z-turn too as it's pretty well at the 50hr mark.

That's about it, take care all.

29°F and cloudy this morning, got up to a whopping 39° here today. We got a little snow here Friday night, but only about an inch or so stuck, mostly on the non-paved surfaces. It's mostly gone now.

Oldest stepson's girlfriend came by yesterday with her younger sister. She came into town (from TX) a few days earlier than the stepson, and stopped by to visit for awhile. She's a sweet girl. Stepson flew into STL late afternoon today, and will be stopping by sometime this evening.

Spent the better part of the afternoon assembling a portable welding table I'd bought from Harbor Freight a few years ago, but left in the box. A couple of parts got assembled backwards, and only became apparent when the next part didn't fit. Probably should have followed the directions better. Wife wanted me to fix a toilet paper holder we have in the downstairs bathroom, which she'd dropped and broken at a spot weld joint. Fine opportunity to put the table together, I thought. About two-and-a-half hours later, the table was built, and the stand was repaired and back in service, courtesy of a couple of small welds with a 1/16" 7014 stick. Stronger than it was new. More importantly, though, Wife is happy.

Sad news about your neighbor, Randy.

Welcome to the GM thread, plowhog.

Good evening, gents.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

wagtail, sad about neighbor son

We are under a 'winter storm watch' and that is exactly what I am going to do. Watch it until it all stops. Supposed to happen Tuesday and Wednesday, about a foot the weather guessers guess.

Wait! What? No, that can't be right we are warming globally.... Freaking cold north wind all day. Mowers are all serviced and so today I turned my attention to a rototiller that I put in the barn 15 yrs ago with a 1/2 tank of gas. Tore down the tank, fuel lines, and carb. Cleaned and reassembled. Started right up. It's a Honda. Now what to do? Till a few hard to reach weed patches, sell, or bequeve I guess. At least I don't have to look at needing work any more.
Ordered some new shooting glasses and muffs for my upcoming class. Played wargames with friends online. Time to find a movie and chill.
Have a good evening.

scootr, I have some shot glasses here if you are interested.
