We got three inches of snow overnight. Not going to plow. 34 now and supposed to go to 52°F. That is why I am not plowing. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

I am not going outside today, but IF it is not doing anything tomorrow for sure I will be outside and will take pics then.

Yup, nurses ARE special people and they take a lot of crap off some people.

Ken the driveway is long past its useful life. Would have to lay a scratch coarse prior to paving to level things up

Gave pellet stove a complete cleaning. Removed the outside and inside exhaust pipe. It wasn’t very dirty. Removed and cleaned ESP probe, cleaned out the fines box. Still won't start. Thinking combustion motor now.
Still windy, will get windier again this afternoon.

Good Morning.
50° damp and windy today. I think that we are done with rain for a day or so.
Looks like about 3/4” since yesterday.

Yesterday I pretty much finished up the plasma table, except for verifying that everything was setup correctly.
We had a fun night of playing music, afterwards, I did the dishes, walked over to the house, took Zoe for a walk and went to bed.

This morning I finished up the plasma cutter and cut my first piece. A bottle opener. I figured that I better make something small so I don’t waste a lot figuring it out. I couldn’t be more pleased with the result.

I’m ecstatic about the cut quality, and lack of dross. I’ll have to adjust my setting for the kerf width, it’s about .030 oversized, but I’m not complaining a bit.

Today was supposed to be an outside party for my grandson’s birthday, but the wet ground and high winds forced a postponement. It would be good to watch a bounce house full of 4 year olds airborne !
We will still have a family get together for dinner, so he will now have two birthdays.

68°F and just .1 inches rain. Unlike Kauai which got slammed. Pics on news of cars with water up over the hoods. Like Sophie says glad we live up hill.

Successful trip to town, diesel, beer, etc. even early dinner.

Our LA friends bringing over Chinese TO for a good bye dinner with our Canadian friends.

No feedback from Granddaughter. On her 18th birthday we sent an offer to pay for her college. Options were the local community college where she lives vs the local community college here. Both offer the field of study she has expressed interest, Criminal Justice. Will be interesting not only her choice but how she made it.

Got email from dealer tech, has been out on medical for week and a half. Says will call me Monday or Tuesday.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good Morning! More beautiful weather with some winds. Low 70's, mostly sunny.

Found a medium size limb broken off and hit the fence sometime during this windy weather. Broke 3 wood pickets at the top so I'll have to replace them. Cut up most of it yesterday afternoon. My burn piles are getting bigger than I would like.

The Milwaukee top handle battery saw came in real handy. Also the chainsaw attachment for the Stihl KM 131, just the right length to reach across/through the mountain laurels. One serendipitous benefit is I will get to completely remove a broken mountain laurel that has been in my way mowing for a long time.

I keep forgetting things and now have a running list.
For me it's now trying to remember where I put the list!

I've never been a big fan of Gatorade because I never found a flavor I liked but the cucumber-lime is great. Got that on my grocery store list.

Have a great weekend everyone! Prayers for our Nation!
