Tempest always rounds it to the nearest degree. If you click on the temp it will show the tenths ˚.

Morning all!
Just getting back from breakfast with the neighbor. We had -6 earlier and currently are still at -4. At least the wind has died down.
Will be heading out for a quick grocery trip and to check the inventory at the consignment store. Plan on swapping out a few more things and updating my list. Not sure if I posted this already but two items are missing! Luckily I take a pic every time we leave the store. Management will now have to find them or take the amount off of my fee.(they have cameras thru out the store running 24-7)
Nothing else planned. Still waiting on insurance to contact us. Very frustrating on how much they are dragging their feet!
Might work in the shop. Will have to see how cold it is down there.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!(and warm)

Good Morning,
Ct, 2 to start going to 18 ! The good news is that the sun is out !
As much as I love to go on a hike or a long walk, not doing it in these temps ! I actually think it burns my throat or lungs !
May just use Kathleen’s tread mill later today !
Slept better last night, actually feel I may be getting a bit better but still have a lingering cough!
Frits, good pictures , thanks ! Hope finger doesn’t need to be reset !
Fire Department drill tonite, I’m pretty sure it will be inside !
Time to think about breakfast!
Hope all have a good day !

Good Morning!!!! 40F @ 6:15AM. Sunshine to start, then a few afternoon clouds. High near 65F. NE winds shifting to NW at 10 to 15 mph.
At the last checkup, the doctor recommended I increase fiber in my diet to at least 30 grams/day. Turns out that's a lot of fiber. Wheat bran seems to be the usual source, as found in bran flakes, muffins, and such. The most I've been able to find in grocery stores is in Kellogs All-Bran Buds, at 17 gm per 1/2 cup. While I was out yesterday I stopped at almost a dozen grocery stores looking for some, and only one had it in stock. They were very proud of their boxes, selling each one for $8.99! Amazon was even worse at $13.50/box. On a hunch I checked Walmart's online store and found it offered for "only" $4.99. I'm still smarting over the screwing I got from Walmart over that battery core charge, but I figured if I got 3 boxes I'd save more than the $12 I lost. I had to stop in Home Depot anyway, which is right next door. Being a huge store, I had to walk all the way to the back to find the groceries. Once there, though, there it was, right on the shelf, boxes and boxes of it for $4.99. How can Walmart do that? Another miracle was finding a register with no line and a clerk. My lucky day! Walmart is still a source of last resort, though.
I was a bit sleepy after lunch so worked in a nap for an hour, then got back up and finished the video rear view mirror repair on the van. Had to run another wire from the rear view camera to a backup light, and found the instructions for getting to the bulb in the owner's manual. The tail light housing was held in place by a pair of the wierdest looking nuts I've ever seen. Picture a 5 or 6 mm nut with a 3/4" diameter basket sort of thing rising a couple inches up off one side, nicely plated in some silver metal. I was able to take them off with my fingers, but I'd sure hate to lose one. I'll bet Stallantis gets a king's ransome for one. With everything hooked back up, I found a colorful grid sort of thing displayed on the mirror when the gear selecter was in reverse. I guess it's supposed to help you aim when going backwards, but I'm not sure I'd trust the marks to keep me from hitting something.
After that I made a lentle stew from a recipe in one of Don's favorite cook books, of course using an Instant Pot. Lots of slicing and dicing, but the result was tasty and filling, and had no salt, oil, or sugar in it. All per another recommendation from the checkup, as a cardiac scan found significant plaque buildup in part of my heart. Hence the new cook book, and a move to a healthier diet.
Enjoyed some TV after dinner, watching some of the carryings on from our nations capitol. We sure live in interesting times.

Way behind here.
Keeping the fireplace stoked.
My buddy gave me the bike, and I rode it home about 100 miles. Temp started at 72F and went down to 59F by the time I got home. It is a fine machine. Rock stable, plenty of power, ABS brakes. Need a quieter helmet, and would be nice to have some blue tooth earbuds that would fit.
RNG, thanks for the Markel link. I've already paid for a year, but something based on usage appeals to me. Need that for my whole fleet, because most of them are sitting most of the week.
Prayers for all, the USA, Israel, and Ukraine.
Thanks for the heads up. I've not ever heard of being turned down for warranty work due to a missing receipt because people can change their own oil (which I do). And here I was thinking hyundai and Kia had those great 100K warrantys....
We got about 3" and it is still snowing ever so slightly. It is so rare for it to snow down here. It is a great motivator for my son to get up early and go play on a day off from school.

Just found that this didn't post at 5:30 this morning...
11 going to 25. Firewood supply shrinking fast. Buppies, I agree, a real winter is shaping up.
No call from HVAC folks, and the sun warmed the ground before I could get the tractor out, so just watched inaugural, did paperwork and took Della to the park hiking.

Kyle, Costco wouldn't honor their road hazzard warranty for a nail thru a tire, because I didn't have proof of rotating the tires every 3K miles. Like that had anything to do with a hole in the tire. Just tells you what warranty's are worth....
Now up to14deg and sunshine. room temp finally came up 2 deg.
Geo temps 3-4 Deg low yet. Not bad for as cold as it got last night. Fortunately,no wind.
What's a watch?

I don't have any of the bikes on part time plans with Markel. I'd be interested to see what Markel charges for a plan like that, and how CA DMV would handle it. Somehow DMV knows if I cancel the insurance on a bike because they send me a nasty gram demanding I either non-op the registration or purchase insurance again. The rub is they'll charge you in arears for the full year of registration if you put the machine on non-op for less than a year's time. Kinda stings when the fee is getting pretty close to $200/year/bike, even for a Honda Trail 90.
How's that Yamaha handle in the snow?
