Good morning!!!!

[Happy in NC]

Since we're doing the coin story thing...
My nephew was aboot 11-12 when he was visiting with his mum.

I bet he wants to see his Uncle even more now

Good morning TBN!!
28 this morning and might make it to a sunny 50 today.
Yesterday was pretty laid back....again. Rained the first part of the day and had rained all night before. Had packages delivered to the car on the other side of non-bridge. Too much for the truck and held my breath as I eased the NH across the river to pick them up. Got them to the house but I wasn't allowed to open them. I hate Christmas sometimes.
Not sure what the day holds yet. Trying to get my head back in the game to do something besides walk the dog. Might try and work on the rail buggy some but not really sure.
Off to whatever!

Have a great and safe day!!

Billy, thanks will look at that app ! Do you have the paid version? No hiking today for me, but I get to drive the Peterbuilt and pull some hose !

The paid version, since I use it a lot. Peterbilt sounds like fun.

Morning all, 33 going up to 38 and cloudy.
Son got to drive past a few lighting strikes that put the whole town area into darkness and drive around some downed trees. Glad he made it home safe.

Wagtail - hope and prayers the surgery goes well.

Fedex dropped two boxes down by the road, retrieved 2 very soggy, wet boxes ......But at least they were still there.

First of many rounds of college paperwork done.

I gave my coins to my son to cash for gas money. But I do have a large collection of foreign coins, many that are not in current use, like Francs and Marks. Not sure what to do with them though.

Be well,

He's 43 now and I haven't seen him in 5+ years.

retrieved 2 very soggy, wet boxes
me too, found a box of citrus on front porch this morning, was supposed to go to neighbor
across street, had to get rid of soggy box and put the fruit in ziplocs. I had one of the oranges and it was
very good.

most of bird feeders were empty, and too much on the ground. I think this comes from using the "good stuff" with nuts
and seeds in the hanging feeders. Some big birds come along to cherry pick the nuts out of the feeders and fling all the sunflower seeds everywhere.
and then it rains and it all is a mess. I try to use the leaf blower on it but it was still a little frozen this morning.
Happy to see my bird bath is full of unfrozen water.
So I refilled everything with just sunflower seeds and put the combo mix in a different style feeder, will see if I get less waste
that way.

looks like blue sky and sunshine out there but not the least bit warm yet.

Rip I too have a box of estate coins most from the early 1900, pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, some, according to the internet, are worth more than face value. Where would I take them that will pay their collectable value? Should I take a few at a time so that they won't try to get a whole box discount? If any TBN coin collectors are out there that are looking for specific coins, I probably have it.

I ended up getting values for some of the collection at coin shops.

I also ended up looking on an app called CoinFacts, that gave information, values and has links to eBay sales. That way I sort of had an idea what I was looking at.

The issue is filtering/looking/inspecting each coin and running it up against the application takes a while. I ended up sorting by year, mint mark and condition. With the 1940's and below demanding a little bit more thought.

Good luck.

66°F and .72 inches rain.

Finished my poly panel enclosure yesterday. Guess this rain will be somewhat a test. Forecast to be a rainy day.

Hosting H&F later today. Making a shrimp stir fry and a simple fried rice

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good Morning
30° when I got up, about 36 now, and windy. Looks like this will be the high for the day.
We got just over 2” of rain in the last 3 days, nice to see the sun again.
Yesterday was puttering around, got the cart ready for the arrival of the MIG welder, not sure when it will show up, no tracking yet. Took the coins to the bank and went to the airport authority meeting. Got home and called it a day.

Today I’ve managed to go out to breakfast with wife and one of her previous coworkers, took her to stop by a farm store to check her alpaca goods inventory, got home and emptied the Roomba and cleaned Zoe’s hair out of the brushes, she makes a mess of it.
Thinking about making Ribs for dinner tonight after Drew planted the seed. I’m not going to fire up the smoker though, I’ll do them in the oven, but I’ll do the 250° route, and use the same rub as if I was smoking them. Still have messes to clean up in the shop, and have to get a shed ordered, so I wont be bored.

I do ribs in instapot, then short time in oven to get the sauce baked on.

Put together one of those wire type shelving units in basement, so I can stack junk higher. . Was an unopened one from FILs barn, that MIL gave me, and has been taking up space in my barn. Used the BX to carry it to house. Moved stuff from a shorter, smaller wire rack, might take it upstairs to the unfinished room. Need wheels for small one, it didn’t come with wheels but large rack does.
Cleaned a shower head in ultrasonic cleaner. Ran it over an hour, still a little bit of stuff on it but reinstalled. Now cleaning one from our shower. It kept wanting to float spray side up, so had to add pipe to hold it down.
