Good morning!!!!

[mpham]

Morning all!
36 going to a heavy rain filled 58. Looks like high wind gust forecasted also. Will have to keep an eye on the bulkhead as it has a tendency to leak into the basement with this type of weather.
Off to the eye doc for testing this morning. Having my eyes dilated so the wife will drive. After that we will head to the store to see what sold {if any} and rearrange or swap out some stuff.
Finished up the tree project. Waiting for the customer to come pick it up:

Working on a few more ideas for the store. Quick sellers pay the rent!
Here are two examples. I think the longer one will be it.

This tree will be a gift. Was playing with colors.

That's it for now.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Good morning, the low is 33 and going down to 30°F for a high. Wind NW 3 mph. Periods of snow or rain. They are threatening us with about 1.5". Not enough to plow.

Drew, now you know why my tire chains don't come off unless I break one.

Ron, the Hawk looks like it is shopping for the little fur ball that lives there. It s a nice picture of it at any rate.

Today is an energy conservation day.

Have a safe day all

Agree its beautiful but It can be dangerous. We just lost 3 up on Mt Cook in the last week

Jim, didn't you say you mostly bike now, and don't do much tramping?

One of the hiking apps I use is FarOut...they cover several major trails in NZ, including an 1800+ mile one. Of course, AllTrails has hundreds there. I was looking at a couple tracks in Mount Aspiring NP.

Ron, I love my handheld Makita air inflator. Hope yours works well. Really nice for smaller tires where you can take it to them.
I used to use the one that came with a portable car battery jumper, but that was heavy.
It doesn't turn off automatically once it reaches the set limit, only downside I see but pretty accurate when I doublechecked with other tire gauges.
But if you have the battery, wonderful. Not sure how much cfm you get for 25 bucks. I love reading the very fine print on duty cycles.
all those little air compressors make an unpleasant noise to me, hard on my bad ear. The only really quiet one is the Makita pancake compressor I have in my garage. That just purrs. I don't use it as much anymore with the nice portable one.

My Makita did a great job of topping off the rv tires.
but it did make enough noise I couldn't use it early in the morning in a quiet rv park.
most folks were asleep when I was up.

haircut this afternoon at 4pm, going to get wet, need a hat

$25 and a 3 year warranty. Sure beats $100+. Noise is lower than any of the of air compressors I have. One of the attachments is a blower nozzle. Used it to blow off drill press metal chips. Did a good job of that.

good morning, 57 and raining surprisingly warm

Walked Cody in the rain and dried him off.

Pain in the foot limited the steps yesterday. Looks to be better today

Tried out the repaired 261 CM chainsaw and it started easily after a few pulls to prime it. It is 10 years old

61 outside right now, that should be the high for today. Wind is picking up and rain on and off. Storm is moving up from the South East.

Lull in the work week, trying to play catchup and report on real jobs. Is busy work and not fun.

Went with wife for errands yesterday, that blew up the whole day. So not sure what to get into today. I know I have more estates paperwork to get prepared. Sigh...

Hope all have a great day. Be safe. It's hump day!

Good Morning,
Ct, 40 to start going to 60 ! Foggy and raining now, and Kathleen had bought tickets for a Broadway play in NYC , for our sister in law and herself ! Tough day to be in NYC with heavy rain and wind !
Hope it goes well for her !

I’ve been given my orders for the day, vacuuming the whole house and wrap some gifts for the grands ! Can’t do much outside so I guess I can live with that !

What app are you guys talking about on virtual hiking ? That sounds really interesting, especially in NZ alps ! My hiking expeditions are probably pretty mundane to what your looking at !

Phil, very nice job on those ornaments!

Lou those chains and tires look like they will do a great job , especially with all that weight!

Hope all have a great day ! Looks like work tomorrow for me !

Good morning TBN.
55 and wet this morning. Rain should taper off around lunch as the temps drop. Probably at our high for the day now! 40s later 20s tonight.
Rained all day almost yesterday so didn't really do much. Having a hard time motivating beyond walking the dog. Probably more of the same today.
Haven't looked yet but will probably need to take the tractor across the river to get out. Sure wish FEMA would show up.

Have a great and safe day!!
