Good evening all. 31ºF for the start, clear sky, light breeze. Light wind, moderate gusts, sky remained clear, and high temp was 58ºF. Made coffee to start morning. Men's meeting, then ordered battery powered leaf blower/vacuum. Should get here tomorrow. Trip to town for lunch, cut Christmas tree, and groceries. Bike ride, nap. Group did not meet for dinner, went to restaurant anyway, got to talk with an acquaintance most of the time I was there. Will be going to Saint Louis for Christmas.
Ron not much range in temp today. Auto-stop inflator sounds useful. Hope the shooting was as much fun as it sounded. Glad you and Sassy got your walk in. Nice pic of hawk. Would love to have one for at least a week to manage the squirrels.
Drew glad you are getting rain, we got nothing but cold air from it. I had heard the bug heaters were not the warmest. I remember snow tires, but quit using them when they start salting the roads instead of traction grit.
Drew hope haircut went well.
Billy hope to get the bottom recut and tree in water tomorrow. Seems like if the cut tree was bundled for a long time it would need some time to let the limbs drop back in position. Other we would put tree up one day, lights one day, then ornaments. Glad dump run done. glad they put up decorations. Glad you and Della got hike.
