50° at 11 pm. Lot of snow melted, and the big rain never came. We did get .1”. Got hair cut, lunch at chipotle, filled up Honda and took it thru car wash.
Organizing and still documenting SD cards that are in devices. Not even getting to the stacks of SD cards from old digital cameras. I would usually treat them like film, remove a full one and put in a new one.
Did find a couple more floating around.
Checked one of the game cameras outside, I had forgot to turn it back on a couple weeks ago.
Pulled pics from another, had nice snow pics on it.
Also going thru quicken data and improving some details. When I was working I was in a haste and miss categorized some things, so cleaning that up. In doing so found I’ve had some things longer than I thought.

Poured hot cup of coffee. 36° with heavy rain this morning. Heading to 40° with rain ending in AM. 1.05" rain so far. Snow is melting fast. Grocery shopping went good. Road I live on was the worst. Lots of ice. There was 2 grooves that fit my tires. Did not get anything else done for the day. Today looks to be a conserve energy day.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

 

[Thomas]

Thoughts prayers for the family RS.

 

[Thomas]

[mpham]

Morning all!
Happy birthday to those I've missed!
Currently 36 and raining hard.
Yesterday it hit 50 here!
Turned off the pellet stove and gave it it's monthly cleaning.
Had an issue with a sink not draining at the apartment house. I couldn't fix it so I met the plumber there in the afternoon. Older cast iron pipe clogged up about 8 or 10 feet down in the wall. Not sure if it will happen again. Hopefully not in my lifetime! Will be expensive repair!
Not much accomplished in the shop lately. Did get a few boards glued up and am starting the barn storming on what i might make.
Arthritis is kicking my butt lately so think today will be holding down the couch.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

[Buppies]

Great picture Scotty

Thanks for picture of Zoe PopG really miss not having a pup of our own

 

[riptides]

64 outside this AM, Heading to lower 70's. Yes, that is correct.

Misty outside too. Humid. After yesterday, no snow or ice left.

I should really start the work on the Milk House bathroom walls but am just not up to it. With the warm weather I just might sit back and enjoy it.

Hope all have a good day, be safe as always.

 

[wngsprd]

66 and humid, going to 75.

Rip, hope your toe is better.

RS, sorry to hear your wife lost her brother.

Scotty looks like you're having a great time. Thanks for taking us along (via pix).

Buppies, we both need to replace our well loved dogs. We've never been without at least one dog until now, but have started looking.

Spent most of the day doing some reading on taxes...complicated approach to document timber tracts and sales, trying produce the best outcome for the family farm LLC I manage for others in the family. Many pieces to the puzzle. Then did another session of relearning French language, which was much easier than learning to speak IRS.

good morning all
wet morning, warm, .55 rain so far but stopping, will get up to 58 today. Rip, enjoy the warm weather!
which I will take advantage of by turning the water back on outside, and have a few cleaning chores while that is on. Then drain the hoses again.
no plans for today, might go food shopping this morning. 15 percent off coupon burning hole in pocket, wonder what I should stock up on.

Buppies, hope you feel better this morning, you too Mostly.

good school board finance meeting last night. I caught a major error on spreadsheet, accompanying explanation said we were doing well and that line
showed a minus 450k. When I pointed that out, eyes got big, was a cut and paste error and they will redo. There is no problem but finance head was embarrassed. During the big construction/capital campaign project going on, many millions of dollars flowing back and forth among accounts and extra eyes needed. We actually hired a watch dog firm that has already saved their fee twice over. Our construction management firm is all female, and they are awesome. They go the extra mile, truly have our back, project is super successful so far, expected to come in slightly under budget.

hope your Friday is a good one

 

[ronjhall]

Most dogs seem to like snow. Sassy will roll in it.

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 28 and the high going to 36°F. Wind NE 6 mph. Overcast with a risk of freezing drizzle in the morning.

I will go out about 10ish and tackle the tractor.

Have a safe day all

Pop, Scott, and Ron ... great pix thanks for sharing!

Back in formerly-great California, its 41F headed to 56F and a clear day today.

Visited the County Building Dept yesterday. Am considering building a 2nd residence "ADU" (accessory dwelling unit) somewhere on our land. New CA laws reduced the power of local Counties to make exorbitant demands for fees and improvements that made it impossible to build.

Good news is: things have simplified. Bad news is the County can still demand things to make it difficult. Just modifying my driveway to comply with current fire regs would require surfacing the first 30 feet at the street, replacing my entry gate with one 2 feet wider, and felling 100 +/- trees including stump removal. Even they agreed that is egregious. They (mostly) waived that requirement. Even doing that is something they would have never done before. But there is more.

Expensive to build here-- after visiting I'm now guessing probably $600k to build a 1,200 sq ft. house-- on land I already own. Then property tax increases $6k/year, insurance increases $4k/year. Seems like a lot for only 1,200 ft. But ... decisions, decisions.

Had 4 large bucks at the edge of our pond late yesterday. Here is a pix a trail cam caught of one of them a while ago ...

 

[Buppies]

Nice pictures plowhog, nice catch Drew nice picture of sassy Ron, healthy deer plowhog, wngsprd I do not think with wife’s situation a new pup is in my future. What type of pups are you looking at?

Here’s a picture of Zoe and my daughter’s dog Gracie Christmas 2022 and another from Christmas 2023. Zoe had obviously eaten her Wheatiies.
