Good morning!!!!

32 outside this AM, that should be the high for today. Winds picking up, a good dusting to one inch of snow on the ground.

I avoided the vet and horse dentist yesterday. All the boarders were doing their own horse care, so lots of people and animals present. All good.

Got the lights up yesterday. Needed to make a hardware store run, sort of out of the area. Seems mini-lights are not the thing anymore. Only one store in the "area" had the stash I needed. I lost another old string after I hung it. Seems even testing before hanging just did not cut it. LOL. No issues, spent just a few hours hanging, and less than an hour on the roof.
Simple and done.

Not much going on now, just feeding the wood stove and will sit back for a day and just do nothing.

Prayers for our world. Hope all can enjoy the day. Be safe.

My wife is reporting 3” of snow. I’ll take her word for it and stay in bed.

Worship postponed till 2 PM.

Checked out the flat faced couplers for leaks and found they are good. The transmission was over 3 quarts low so topped that off. Apparently been leaking for a while without noticing. It only leaked when it was activated so not that obvious to see
Cleaned up this old plier with WD40 and steel wool. Something satisfying about quality tools

The old 15 inch adjustable Bacho wrench is missing. Looked in all the usual places. No luck so far

29 and falling to 12 or lower tonight

Wngsprd and Thomas she so far just looks at it I’m glad

Very windy outside no snow

The prognosticators I read Drew pegged your area very well. I have personally identified the ones I believe are accurate. The national weather service weather channel have their own agenda and it is not always truthful trying to prove global warming etc. the heat wave they are predicting will be very short lived as Canada is reloading another mother load, LaNina weakening the AO and NAO are aligning up for more cold and storms.

More nice work Phil, thanks mostly prayers for Dons BIL and family, hope pup wasn’t tagged sodamo, glad you’re feeling better Lou

Prayers for all silent our spoken our Country

Good Morning
27°, which is likely today‘s high. Snowed all through the night, wife went out with a yardstick and reported 8-1/2”. That was considerably more than forecast.

,

Now I really wish that I had gotten to the driveway markers yesterday.
I did bring up a carryall load of firewood, and the tractor is backed in the heated shop, snow blade mounted, and ready to drive out plowing. So I’m not totally ill-prepared.

I did get some random cores done yesterday, did get to the hangar, brought my wife her tablecloth at the holiday market, and spent some time at the computer making models and printing them.

Here is a spark plug caddy for aircraft plugs, the get removed, cleaned and rotated annually.

Im enjoying the whole experience, it really has upped my 3D modeling capability. I admit that most of the stuff that I make is really just an exercise, but the capability really has come in handy.

I guess it’s time to eat some breakfast and get in the tractor, looks like the snow has ended. Be interesting to see what else i get into.

now that was good exercise, at least six inches of heavy wet snow
got my place done including the big pile at the road, then went over and did another
neighbor's road pile and did the other one on the way back. Then feeling ok,
went and did the whole private driveway next to me. Six families on it, they never seem to agree
on how to get it plowed on time. So I did that and I was both tired and soaked.
pulled off all my clothes at the door and hope to rest for a bit.

snowblower ran perfectly

probably need to go check on birdfeeders but I filled them all yesterday
after lunch going to pull car out and reset my rubber wheel chocks; had to move car forward four inches
to get the snowblower out. But now the grill is an inch away from the front and position sensors set up a howl.

Is the front wall of the garage in decent shape?
What is the front nose of your car like?
A rubber pad on the wall and just touch it with the nose of the car.
Or a school bus type mirror mounted on the wall so you can see the gap.

Morning all, 29 going to 31 and snow slowly leaving the area.
2" forecast is now 6"+ so need to get the tractor and plow out in a bit after I clean up the area by the cars. Will need to do neighbors driveway too.

Dog is very happy burying herself in the snow this morning.

Be well,

Happiness
