Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 7 and going to a high of 14°F. Wind W 5 mph. 40% chance of flurries.

One of the cats woke me up at 6. I guess he figured I had over slept. Normally I am up at 5.

I'm in the process of doing some research on diesel fuel storage and just found that in order to prevent nasty stuff from growing in the tank, DO NOT USE COPPER. It will degrade fast and help to grow the sludge and nasty stuff in the tank. Bummer! I've sent an email to a place in Britain that markets/manufactures a chemical that is compatible with diesel for internal combustion engines AND home heating oil. I am hoping that they will ship to Canada.

Time to get my butt in gear.

Have a safe day all

20 outside right now, if it hits 30 we will be lucky. No wind though, and the Sun should be out.

With the cold weather, my driveway is just not melting. It is a dangerous ice sheet. I have tried to put down some eco-friendly melt, but it melts and freezes. LOL. I hit the ground hard a few years back and ended up in shock and in the ER. So venturing about, that is always on the back of my mind. Be safe.

More domestic stuff today. The firewood cache is almost gone. The year supply of 3 cords just did not make it through. I will have to up the game for next year. I have a few ready candidates in the back woods, but the snow/ice cover sort of makes it...not worth it.

Never got to the game cams, so maybe today. The coyotes made another thunder run last night. LOL. I think they are just messing with my new neighbors....LOL.

wngsprd, no skunks seen this winter. So far...so good.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

So IF the powers that be run 1,2 or 3 pipelines through your property AND something happens to that line, can you sue them for damages? And win?

It's all in the wording of the contract, and a you can change the wording or add stipulations up to a point. Some things cannot be added or changed. Things like how they are to leave the land when finished can be changed. You cannot use the right-of way land for certain things and they do send aerial patrols. I was removing fence post near the line, and airplane flew by, shortly after a pipeline official was driving up in a pick-up inquiring what I was doing.

I have never heard of a temporary above ground oil pipeline. They do have above ground temporary waterlines when they are fracking at a well head. They pay very little money for this type of lease/right-of-way.

Good Morning
19° out there with a high of 30 predicted. You wouldn’t know it from under these warm covers.

Yesterday started with a class for Zoe, one on one with us and the trainer. Of course, it’s more about trying us than her. She clearly understands what’s expected, but lets distractions and her excitement overcome her. We are making progress though.

Then it was back to the shop and get cleaned up an prepared for a two day training course I’m teaching on the Cheyenne 400LS.
It’s a relatively rare airplane, there’s less than 20 in the US out of the 44 that were built. So that means that none of the usual training providers are interested in it.
So I had to clean up the area upstairs that is normally my music room, make sure that the projector that’s mounted on the ceiling unused most of the time works and move the instruments and mic stands from in front of the pull down screen. Then I had to find and review my PowerPoint presentation, and locate all the associated course materials.

Took a break after lunch to install the correct fan wheel in the shop furnace, that UPS brought me. Did a few shop chores, trying to figure out why the plasma cutter won’t pierce 1/2” steel. It cuts it beautifully from an edge, but I’ve got some setting wrong that won’t let it pierce it. That’s going to wait until after training is done.
Also managed clean out the ashes from Monday’s fire and load the fire place for last night’s fire. Might clean out last nights ashes before heading over to the shop after breakfast to start the day.
