First time she wanted to walk on the ice...very shallow there...knee deep. Was warm enough that I was ready to step in and help if the ice broke.
Good morning!!!!

Good morning, the low is 0 and the high going to 3°F. Wind N 8 mph. 30% chance of flurries.
I have always considered whoaing more important than going. Rubber shredding acceleration is great when you have lots of money for new tires. Not so great when you are on a fixed income.
Drew, I am thinking that you just bought a money pit.
I've got nothing planned for today, so I might as well go back to bed.
Have a safe day all

Good morning TBN!!
39 this morning supposed to get to low 60s under sun. About an 1" of rain yesterday but it has moved on. Looking forward to next weeks temps. Supposed to be mid 70s Tues. and Thurs.
Finally FEMA came and did their inspection. Looked at the bridge and then needed to see the house. I made him cross on the stepping stones I cross every day. I don't think he liked that much. I wanted him to get the full experience
The wife was sitting in the truck and could've ferried him across but what fun is that? He got what he needed and the wife drove him back across the river to his car.
We should hear something in the next 7 to 10 days.
Walked the dog a couple of times until the rain came.
I sat down with my son's iPhone to try and get in to it again. Been trying on and off since he died in Nov. Low and behold I got in. Had to erase it and then restore a back up he made just before he died. I want to get a handle on his finances but so far the accounts I have found have been suspended. We hired a lawyer to handle probate so I will be able to tell her what accounts he has anyway. Not a very pleasant job but I will get through it.
Time for a second cup and see what the day holds.
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

Good Morning from Central Texas.
Upper 30's start headed to 70's. They say 80's by Monday. Actually, too warm for me this time of year.
After feeding cattle, hope to get to some hog damage repair and some other outdoor jobs.
Hope all have a great day.

did you enjoy playing hide and seek?
I never knew there is a global treasure hunt going on in 170 countries.
It's a game of sort that's been going on for 20 years.
has anyone ever gotten involved with this?
not sure this is the most practical use of your time...
I tried to see what geocaches are around me but it requires you to download an app, sign up for something. no thank you.
they said geocaches also show up on your gps. Really? is there a control on an Iphone that turns on geocaches on maps?
Spike, are you repairing with a 30.06?

47 outside and that is the high expected right now. A ditto weather report from wngsprd. LOL.
One last ice spot remains on the driveway. Some pasture areas still have snow on them. Today should be the last of it all. Ground is now mushy for an inch or so depth wise, then frozen. Makes for interesting walks to feed and care for the animals.
Not much to do today, some real job work, yep, on a weekend, some paperwork and some track down resources stuff. Highlight of yesterday was replacing a porch light bulb, need a step ladder, swapped out with success. Then less than two hours later, it went out again. Hoping it is just the batch of really old bulbs. Which they really are.
Hope all have a good day, be safe.

Good Morning,
Ct, 30 to start but heading south from here !
We went out for dinner with friends last night and then went to a show at the Shubert Theater, the show was a Michael Bubble clone, but he was very good , accompanied with a 17 piece orchestra! Very good show !
Hope to get some outside time before the real cold moves in !
Hope all have a great day !

David, I have heard on the news that some of the issues may have been from the helicopter pilot using night vision glasses and then removing them ! Terrible accident , prayers to all the families!

sounds like driving my rv in heavy traffic
you can't take your eyes off the ball for a moment
looks like the helicopter pilot got distracted somehow at the worst possible
moment. One or two seconds might have meant a miss.
Since it's coming out this has happened before, apparently they have now shut down that whole
helicopter alley down the Potomac.
I don't see this getting any better with more drones in the air.
wonder if pilots are reporting a lot of near misses.
getting to be crowded airspace out there. Good tech should prevent this.
drones don't have to have that collision avoidance tech and neither do military helicopters apparently.

Good Morning!!!! 50F @ 5:00AM. Rain likely. High 56F. Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall may reach one inch. Locally heavy rainfall possible.
Rained on and off yesterday, picking up 0.8". We've had a couple hundredths since midnight. WU 10-day says 1.75" more today, but hourly as quoted above says maybe an inch. We'll see who's right tomorrow.
Lady at Ford dealer parts counter was really nice, but had to get service department guy to make sure batteries were bad. He said he needed the truck there to verify something and I asked how I'm supposed to get truck started with two dead batteries. And that the dead batteries were in the van out in the parking lot. He got a little huffy, took my receipt for the dead batteries and disappeared into the back room. When he came back he told the parts lady to get two new batteries and handed back my receipt. Then asked me to call him with the odometer reading of the Ford when I got home. Young man sitting next to woman at parts counter just sat there while she man handled the two batteries onto a dolly. I asked him why he wasn't helping her, and he said he was too busy with the computer. Service guy stood by watching, too. I gave her a silent "wow" and held the door for her, then we both wrestled the old/new batteries for the swap.
Bean burrito was delicious at my usual roach coach. Still have half for lunch today.
Grocery shopping took extra long because there were a lot of people shopping. I thought the rain would keep people at home, but it seemed to have just the opposite effect. Clerk forgot to charge me for the paper grocery bags, saving me $.10/bag. Do they charge for grocery bags where you live, or is that just another piece of Kalifornia idiocy?
Sick neighbor asked me to pick up Lipton's powdered soup for him (his whole family came down with pneumonia), but I found five flavors on the shelf. Called him and got the onion flavor his wife wanted. He handled the pickup of the auger I sold a week ago for me, so he also got a 36 pack of Coors Light with his powdered soup. Saw the new gate arch he'd welded together from 8" pipe on my way out of his driveway. Told him I'd help when he's ready to put it up. Gonna be a ticklish job.
All that foolishness took all day, so did't get around to calling Ford dealer before they closed. U-bake pizza tasted good, newish "Mad Max universe" movie couldn't keep me awake. I'll try to finish it tonight. I'll probably spend most of today cleaning the house in preparation for sale.
Hope everyone enjoys the weekend.

I keep the part of the box oil filters come in that has the filter part number. On the back I write the date and mileage for the oil change, and it goes into a folder along with receipts and instruction sheets. Do the same for other parts, and keep a running log for maintenance and repairs on each of my vehicles. Used to do it in a database, but Filemaker got rediculously expensive license wise, so now the info just goes into a flat text file. Also in each file I'll note the various oil capacities and filter part numbers, tire pressures and lug nut/bolt torque, and sometimes even the wrench sizes for various maintenance jobs.
