Drinking hot coffee. 1° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 19° with mostly cloudy skies and brisk winds. Feeling better today. But another day conserving energy will not hurt me.
Trying to stay warm.
Prayers and best wishes for everyone.
Good Morning All.

snow keeps coming down
looks like I'll be hunting the long underwear and will get some exercise when the sun comes up
as will some of you
I hope to get some pics and then will go brush the snow off the inflatables.
if it gets to two inches I'll get the snowblower out if only to give it some work to do, been
sitting for way too long.
three containers of ice melt in garage, wonder if any of them haven't turned into blocks of concrete.

34 and falling plus wet snow falling. Temps drop during the day, and wind chill tonight at 5F.
Ron, good decision.
Engineer, looks like a great Christmas train.
Buppies, beautiful tree. Hope Precious behaves around it.
Sodamo, we had a female Brittany do that, and kept our fingers crossed right up until we had puppies.
Hope you have better luck.
Wag, never heard the term "rego"...does it mean license/registration? We have been watching a New Zealand TV series called Brokenwood. We love the way certain words are pronounced, especially with the vowel "e"...sounds very different than Aussie English.
Hike and Della swim and then more outdoor decorating with wife yesterday. Still have the tree to do inside, and today's weather will make that happen.

seems current tally is two dead, seven in critical in hospital, and two others
in shooting at Brown Univ. in providence. All students. Surprisingly little info being released.
and the guy is still on the loose which is scary.
where was campus security?
My father went there, both my oldest brother and his wife went there, when it was still
Pembroke for the ladies, and one of best friend's 102 year old mother went to Pembroke.
not sure he is going to tell her.
Personally I have no attachment to the place, my father paid full price cash, got no breaks from anyone,
and the university is very well endowed. So I've never sent them money. I'd rather support charity closer to home,
like local EMS or my church at home.
when I graduated in 1971 the whole world was nuts due to Vietnam.
Graduation was cancelled, did not get the senior parade walk, marking went to pass fail, which
in my case was wonderful since it hid a bunch of C's. I may have gotten A's in high school but this was the big
leagues and I was happy to graduate.
Having an Ivy League diploma made me a shoe in for a job at Travelers Insurance.
Those three piece suiters in Hartford were very status conscious.
and eventually to be one of their few employees ever invited to teach insurance at their training center.
I was doing data analytics long hand before we got computers, and made monthly reports on my big clients
comparing their stats to average company stats, and no one had ever done that before.
We were flooded with new data and no one had worked out how to use it all.
We were just getting rid of punch cards.
running what ifs was not a given...
but I got curious, and started doing these reports that no one else had ever seen, with trend analysis,
which impressed the big insurance agencies who were our clients, I was learning to do nice presentations,
and some of those reports got sent up to the home office.
Shortly thereafter I was brought into manager's office and told of this opportunity I was being offered.
For a guy who always wanted to teach after college, thought I'd be a professor somewhere, but with Vietnam there were
no jobs at all, so i was offered a teaching position in a very fancy training center.
today we take AI and computer generated statistics for granted.
shows you how old I am that I remember doing it all by hand, and then posted
to some early spreadsheet
you know, four lines and then a slash?
when you were so cool if you had that TI calculator
with the little red numbers

Morning all!
25 with light snow coming down.
Town has already sent the sander down our street. Driveway is still a bit slippery in spots from the last ice storm. Will have to be careful.
Good news for a change medically! New meds I'm on have cut my cholesterol numbers down to perfect 180 with my good number way up! Can't remember number right now.
6 shots in my neck Friday seem to be doing their job. Will need to get them again before insurance will pay for permanent procedure. Need to see how long these shots last first.
Looks like our week to travel out and visit sister. At least it's not that far.
Haven't been doing much maintenance wise. Have a few small projects here and at the apartment. Neck and thumbs have been keeping me down.
Made some Christmas ornaments for gifts.
Was nice easy work for me.
Made an ornament for the people that gave me some apple wood. I used their wood and engraved it with their info.
That's it for now I guess. Don't see much happening in the next few days.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Bad news out of Australia this morning. What's going on with people?
Started snowing sometime after 530am. Will have to clear a path to the garage before 8am.
Ya'll be careful out there.
