good morning all
no idea why I'm up this early but enjoying my coffee and planning my day
should be a warmer day in the 50's with fair amount of rain coming in tonight and tomorrow.
Which means I will probably run the mower and leaf bagger one more time today.

had a nice visit with sister yesterday, then nice lunch at local little country store with an old friend, and then
home where I finished winterizing the rv. Took out the bidet seat and removed the triple water filtration system under the sink,
after pumping pink stuff into the system. Taking rv to storage lot next Monday and then...clean out the garage
so my car can finally fit in

freud ogee cutter coming in tomorrow, then my chunk of walnut heads to Popgadgets for an edge job.

gosh I had to laugh at MM. Sure don't want to say 9 mem mem....
if it wasn't annoying it would be humorous to see what the AI nanny thinks is worrisome.
certainly does show why context is so important.
brave new world

what to do when you get up too early?
plan a trip
working on a New England trip.
have stops for Lou, Scott and Tom
want to see Phil on way home so Phil please PM me with location so I can find an rv campground near you.

I know I am forgetting someone so anyone who wants to do lunch, you just have to come get me.

the one on Lake Lauderdale is closer to Lou and a 45 minute drive for Scott.
But I'm going right through East Wells on way North so if I have to chase his fuel oil truck, I'll find him.
I'll look for the oil truck with the longest antenna...

this is all mountains, should be pretty
am thinking maybe in early May
I might get caught with a late snow in April.

Coffee is cooling in cup. 40° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 50° with mid day rain. Got gutters and downspouts cleaned. Not much to cleanup on house. Garage was different. Lots of leaves and pine needles. Seems that is any water, dew or frost washes everything that lands on metal roof washes into gutters. Not a bad thing. Just need to be more aware. Did some cleanup around garden pond. Today should be a good day to do some house cleaning and laundry.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

Good Tractor Morning WinterDeere,
I’m not giving up my Stihl backpack blower or my Little Wonder push blower, until they remove them from my cold dead fingers

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 37 and going up to 39°F. Wind SSE 7 mph. Periods of rain. That'll be the rest of our snow gone. Time to start over. Thursday we drop back into the freezer.

An energy conservation day for sure.

BEF, you got a bag of frozen corn?

Have a safe day all

Good Tractor Morning,
Ct, 37 to start going to 52 with clouds moving in and the rain later today.
Yesterday was a bust at work. Got paid for a half day and never made a single delivery. We changed both the fuel filters on the truck, diesel, Pacar engine and then couldn’t get it restarted Got air in the system, finally at the end of the day my boss bled the injectors and we now have a running oil truck.
So back in this morning and hopefully better luck

Has anyone looked at the price of gold and silver lately ? That investment has tripled in value for me

Looks like a run up to our Vermont house on Friday, need to get the chains on the Massey Ferguson before we get any big drops.

Happy Birthday to Mrs Phil

Hope all have a blessed day

Good morning from East Texas. 54 degrees at the moment, heading to a high of 64. Nice Fall day.

I've been up a few hours nursing a brisket. Wife is a night owl, so she kept watch while I got a few hours.

We're celebrating Thanksgiving early. My RN daughter is working the actual day and this worked for most. Definitely some advantages...like all of the normal stores are open today in case we run short of something.

Hope y'all have a blessed day.

 

[wngsprd]

38 going to 62, and rain late.

Wag, you are really on top of things to already be mailing Christmas cards and gifts, but bad you are forced to do so by slow mail.

BEF, hope your shoulder is better. I'm having to get in my recliner from bed because of mine sometimes, too.

Today makes 47 wonderful years married to Myla. Where does the time go?

Did some winter prep chores yesterday. Then sanded and repainted our cornhole boards. I originally used HDX spray paint to save a buck, and it was more like spraying chalk powder. This time I went with Rust-Oleum 2X and it was more than 2X better, probably like 2,000X.

Good Tractor Morning Billy,
