Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

30° and around 3” snow. I can see gravel on the driveway.

Almost no sleep. Indigestion from the medicine and they say no antacids.

Forehead Temp down to 99°View attachment 852689

20°
Woke up soaked in sweat. Been sleeping with flannel shirt and sweatpants, since I’m in and out of bed, downstairs, back upstairs all night. Woke up shirt was soaked. Took it off and used blankets. Woke up and they were soaked.
Totally different body reaction from night before. No fever last night. No feeling sick in stomach. Got a little sleep before midnight, then was awake till 3 or 4am.
Was hungry, so came down and ate some potato chips around 1am, they were really salty.
Son came down with a cold. Wife is starting to get one now.
Hungry.

Hope you get better soon! many docs recommend probiotics while taking antibiotics. But check with your MD first. Gut health is good health. And TxDon's might just be the best.

Went to start practicing mig welding. Cheapie argon regulator from Amazon has slow leak inside the actual gage. I was turning off the tank valve and the small cfh valve, to try and isolate the leak....Later when I tried to weld, I had forgot to turn on the cfh valve and the wire arc'ed inside my tip. No spare tips. That was that. Tractor supply showed no .035" online, but a friend texted me and said they had some. Went up there and bought 5 for $16.

Prayers for our team, our nation, Israel, and Ukraine.
edit: cfh cubic feet per hour

Fried Gator Tail is very good, if you go south you should really try it !

If it is rubbery like calamari, then forget it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 4" of snow that we were promised turned into 16". Got the customers dealt with and the lower half of my driveway passable for right now. IF an emergency vehicle had to come up the drive, they could make it but would have to back all the way out. The upper part near the house is NOT done and will not be done until tomorrow. I ran out of light and I had the overpowering urge to park on the throne. In light of the action of the past two days I thought I had better park just in case.
No more runs and headache is gone. Win, win for me.
Temperature right now is 8°F and going down to 6 below tonight. Wind NW 14 gusting to 21 mph.

The most snow on the ground on this date in 1977 was 37.80", but I wasn't here.
I was in Alberta then, playing in -50°F temps and trucking with a detroit diesel, if they aren't working then they don't produce much heat.
I had on winter coveralls AND gloves, the inside of the windshield was frosting up and all I had to scrape it with was my fuel credit card. About 60 miles out I stopped at a gas station and scored a empty oil box and a coat hanger, used the garages' vise grips to cut the wire and tie the box over the grill to hopefully slow the cold down. It worked.
Fast forward to now and I have 4 fingers that get very cold very quickly, which is one of the reasons why I don't work outside in the cold unless I have a heater real handy.
Tomorrow will be more plowing.

Have a good night all

Coffee is done brewing. 14° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 39° with mix of sun and clouds. No NASCAR yesterday. Canceled because of rain. May watch this afternoon. Went to Rural King with neighbor yesterday. Spent his money. Shop did not get cleaned up. Back on todays list. Then will see what shows up afterwards.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

 

[masseyrider]

Going to get to the freezing mark and some sun.
Supposed to be little wind so I'm hoping to get a few things done outside. Time to burn the junk barrel.
Low 50s next couple days so going to get mucky, better get er done.

The only Blue Bonnets I know.

This is what Texas Blue Bonnets look like. Whole fields will be full of them when they are in bloom. Lots of other flowers bloom at the same time.

good morning all
25 going up to 41 in sunshine today.
taking a friend to Trenton airport later this morning.
airport is not far away and relatively small, everyone who uses it seems to like it.
Cheap flights to Florida from there keep them busy.

hope everyone feels ok/better this morning

my old garden thermometer was getting hard to read.
delighted that my goddaughter's husband's company, Urban Worm, sells one.
I already put some of their worm castings in my garden.
