Good morning!!!!

25 going to 52 and then rain tonight. We've already set a December record, and probably have for January, too.

RNG, I sometimes get frustrated with Costco not continuing to sell certain items, but they know their business, and execute well. I've noticed that all big box retailers vary their inventory across stores. It's especially apparent when shopping for an item online to pickup. Sorry about your oak tree.

LS, we buy the Executive membership, and get the rebate check each year, which pays back the membership fee plus more. Hope your storm wasn't too bad.

Hope Makani is better.

Mostly, hope you didn't catch it.

Wednesday I worked on my firewood for half a day and got caught up. So yesterday, took the day off and did a long mountain hike on a mountain I've been longing to climb for a long time. Was fun, but challenging. Pix later. Need to get back outside to feed the birds.

25 outside this AM. Heading to mid 40's. Rain expected this evening.

Yesterday the wife and I decided on a break and headed out for a nature hike near the Appalachian trail by Front Royal. It was good getting away from.. stuff.

Morning all, 26 going to 47 and calling for another inch of rain.
Roof leaking again.

Another high school buddy passed suddenly. His son had died a little over a year ago and his mom right before that.

Our big boss quit, thankfully, new big boss starts in a few months. He will have a lot to fix.

Back to the day job,
Be well

Good Morning!

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

24.2F going into the 30’s, intermittent rain.

Had a nice day off, took a spur-of-the-moment trip to BigCity for lunch, dogs got trip up the mountain, set out appointment schedule with chiro to end of March. harvested another 6 gallons of tree sap, boiled down another pint of syrup from the last batch.

Today will be some administrative running around, need to get some cabbages and feed pellets for the chickens, maybe hit a couple thrifts for S&Gs.. .

i *** everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

Walnut syrup has a more insense flavor than maple, so you can use less of it.
I am so glad I stumbled upon that little factoid about DIY syrup two years ago!!!

18F here in Beautiful Northern Nevada, going to 40F today.

I successfully escaped from Formerly-Great CA yesterday and on returning found 6-8 inches of light powdery snow. Will be blowing a lot of it today as the propane truck is scheduled for a delivery.

Good news in CA was that I do not have a pair of foxes under the old farmhouse.

Good morning all!
