Good morning!!!!

The New York State inspection is a total farce, I don't know how much the state gets for each one but the inspection cost is somewhat fixed;
View attachment 4330598
If the shop does everything they are supposed to, it's a money looser for them. As if will take over a half hour and the charge for most vehicles ends up being about $21.

My truck was done last month and my wifes car is due this month, it will be interesting to see what we get charged for her's being electric a tad bit difficult to do an commission test, so it should only be $10.

I wish ours were that inexpensive. I think my trailer inspections are about $160/year.

NH starting 2026 inspection not needed after certain age,I do believe that's bad idea.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.6C and it's presently 20.4C, mostly sunny with a steady breeze. There was 4.0mm in the gauge @0900.

Yesterday's pharmacist appointment went very well = she explained what all of my med's did and what is most likely to change in the near future. After lunch I got 'stuck into' stacking wood, especially as the BoM predicted a lot of rain starting by 1500. Of course nothing happened, rain-wise, so I carried on stacking. As I reported above "a lot of rain" was only a few overnight.

Today will simply be more wood stacking this arvo.

That's about it, take care all.

It is a really large tank plowing a field with a 5 or 6 row plow behind it. Could you not open it?

I could not open it without a Facebook account password, which I don't have.

And I couldn't open it because the Facebook AI still has me blocked/suspended.

Just after I posted about the hydro bill, the lights went out...Power lines down across the road 4 doors up from me. They are down and across the road between civilization and me. FD on the scene blocking the road. I am the second last place on a dead end road.
Hydro says they will have it all fixed by 20:45 tonight.

Update: Power came back on at 03:30 hrs. 4th November 2025. So much for 20:45, that never happened.
The power actually went off at 5 P.M. I waited till 7 P.M. to post.

Good morning, the low is 35 and going up to 48°F. Wind W 7 mph. A mix of sun and cloud.

I'm off to bed for the day. I can muck out the cats in the dark, my work lights shine forward.

Have a safe day all

With snow and freezing rain when driving, don't plan on turning fast or stopping fast. You can drive at whatever speed you want but for turning of stopping.
Back in the '70s when I hauled gravel it wasn't uncommon for me to run south on the 400 hwy (4 lane divided highway) 65-70 mph in 6" of snow. I passed my Jewish boss one day on that road in the snow, he asked me IF I drove like that on Spadina expressway (another 4 lane divided highway), to which I answered yes. He told me that if I ever hit a car traveling at that speed to back up and run over it again. I asked why and he told me, dead Jews don't sue. This guy was a Reform Jew whereas his brother was an Orthodox Jew.
