Morning all! 36 here going to 58. Still no furnace. Thank goodness for the pellet stove! Got the mower off and the snow blower mounted to the rear of the tractor. Rearranged the garage so we can store everything out of the way. To cold to wash the cars so we will wait till next week when it is...

55 going to 60. Forecast of 36 on Sunday night/Monday. Up at 3:30 am, can't sleep. 2 coffees already. Part didn't come in for the furnace repair. Good thing I have 2 other forms of heat. Dug the snow plow out of the woods and put it next to the garage so I can give it some paint touch up and...

Good news on the apartment and chemo Drew!

46 going to a sunny 72. Heat pump is working nicely. Going to need the main furnace for the weekend. High 30's in the forecast for the nights. Will probably lose the garden with this cold. Have a few small jobs to putter with around the house but mostly will be a quiet week. Might start digging...

46 going to 69 with a sunny day on tap. Need to change an under cabinet microwave at the apartment house and then I think a convertible ride will be it for the day. Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Good luck RNG and anyone else in the flames travels. Praying for relief and no more lives lost! 66 here going to 77. Was able to use the tractor yesterday moving a load of loam and flattening out an area on the side of my garage. Working today close to home so should be able to get into some...

Happy Happy! Joy Joy! Floors are done and look great! Just need to clean up the mess and wait for the new furniture saturday. Furnace was just a stuck one way valve letting water circulate even though heat was off. And the best news of all is we have a working air conditioner/heat pump...

Well! Flooring is going great. 1 room complete and hopefully the 2 smaller rooms today. Air install still not right. Thermostat refuses to talk to unit. Several calls to Bosch and HP have resulted in no progress. This thermostat is needed in order to qualify for a substantial rebate, but not...

58 going to 70. Should be a nice sunny day. Hopefully air tech will be here this morning trying to finish setup and install. We need to get everything moved out of the master bedroom for tomorrow's wood install. If air is not working we need to move everything around that we already placed...

It is pre finished hickory. We did the dining area and living room in the same color a few years ago.It is holding up to wear very well.

59 going to 73 with off and on showers today. My wood floor in the kitchen goes wall to wall with cabinets installed on top. I did it that way so we could reconfigure in the future if we wanted. We just use generic soap saying good for wood floors on the bottle. The tile install in the hallway...

Here is how it came out in the living/ dining area. I hope they can do the same with the bedrooms. All will be 3/4 thick boards.Walnut to tile and walnut to oak boards. The oak installed myself when we built.

We put tiles in the hallway a few years ago so they will be doing a transition. When they added the hardwood in our living/dining area they were able to mate the two surfaces the same height. Hopefully will be the same here. Not sure how many pics I will get as I have to work both days they are...

Quick stop to say no joy(cold) in Mudville today! Unit in the attic was 120 ac and all the new ones are 220 ac. Now we need to wait for an electrician to upgrade/pull new wires.Ugh! At least today is 55 degrees now only going to 70. Still humid but better than 80's and 90's. Installer promises...

65 right now heading for a nice day. Was a non event for us. Hardly any rain or wind. Storm broke up and went around us. Several towns west and east of us had damage. Lucky for us. I was watching the radar and it looks like Jay was right in the middle of it. Hopefully they made out ok!

Morning all! First day of vacation. 65 going to 81 with high humidity. Sink repair I started Saturday did not go well, once again the previous owner improperly installed the drain piping. 3/4 inch to short on the stub out so they jury rigged all kinds of fittings and sealers instead of replacing...

Jay said: "Phil- Thanks. Did you get nailed by the Tstorms the other day? With that system I saw very little Tstorm activity all the strong cells skirting my area. I have received 1.80" of rain with the past 3 weather events." Yes. We got hammered. Gardner got so much water they had waist deep...

You were lucky with the fluffy snow Jay! We got a couple inches of snow with a day full of rain on it. Heaviest slop I've seen in a long time. Snow blower wouldn't even try to blow it. I took off the plow and just used the bucket. Could have used a water pump or squeegee. What a mess! Thank...

Morning all! Meds appear to be making progress. I have no more gout symptoms and have been treating the reflux issues with meds and a strict diet. As far as triggers go-I don't eat most of the gout inducers at all. That's what has the doctors stumped. Beef and seafood or organ meat are maybe...

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! I’m sure I will get through this if the docs all work together..yes I have been drinking lots of cherry juice and lemon water, gout doc says they don’t know why or how but it does lesson the effects. Once I’m off the steroids I think the rest will calm...

Hatches are battened and tractor is at the ready. It has been snowing since 3 PM. Might just take the day off tomorrow as all the schools around here are already closed. Would be nice if the governor was to give me a paid day off. Looks like between 8 and 18 inches for me over the next two...

Picked up a new mower/blower combo to replace the 14 year old unit. The old one still runs great but the new one has a power lift for the blower. Works great for the small driveway at my rental apartment house. Wish I could just drive the B2650 there but it is to far.

Moved some more rocks to the stone wall.

2nd coffee finished and waiting for the day to lighten up. 49 out going to 70's. Yesterday was also great. I got to remove 5 trees and work on the stone wall for most of the day. Feels good to work and get things accomplished but my body sure is screaming this morning. Need to go to my sisters...

Sorry for your loss Ron!

Out with the 14ish year old mower and blower and in with the new mower with a power lift snow blower. Old one was to heavy for my 82 year old father in law to pick up anymore. This one is just an electric switch operated. Hope it last as long. Oh. 6 more horse power too.

Another 5 days of rain and cloudy sky’s in the forecast here. At least it is warm now. Glad I got the shed roof weather tight when I did. I’m home now on bed rest for a few days recuperating from nasal surgery..no fun when you can’t breathe out of your nose. Very little pain though so I can’t...

Had a high of 80 today, no rain and no clouds..long time coming. It was great till we started putting the black underfelt on the roof. All the rot is gone and new boards installed. No damage to the main house found. Quick pics attached. Sorry for everyone’s loss and illness.

"Phil, leak or termites? Either way not good. Is it just the one beam?" One beam and roof sheathing. Was wet and full of carpenter ants. A liberal dose of ant poison was applied. Doesn't look like it made it into the main house. I will replace it all. Just need time. Need to figure out where...

We had a few days of sunny weather in the forecast so I decided a quick reroof of the 10x10 foot shed could easily be done. Well.....looks like the builder had free access to 1/2 inch plywood in 6 inch wide pieces. The roof and trusses were all made from this. It was very unstable so I decided...

Get well Randy! Rare sunny day today so I went out and did a quick mowing around 3/4 of my yard. Will get the rest hopefully this weekend if it stays dry. Also put 2 of 3 tons of pellets into the garage for the winter. Last ton maybe tomorrow after work. That was short lived. Weatherman says...

55 now going to first 80's in a long time! Still to much rain in the forecast. Tried taking the tractor out in the back yard and promptly sunk in the mud. Broke out the rototiller and started a new spot for the garden. So many rocks I popped two pins. Need to get more later. Hopefully get a few...

Txdon-that is actually part of a small wall we put on the edge of the property for decoration. Here is a quick picture from our front window. Jay-we are actually in a valley. I am in the Gardner area.

Sunny and 54 today. Good day to putter around and rest a little. Hope everyone is safe and healthy.

Happy Birthday Sophie! 31 here going to the low 40’s. Got a dusting-1/2 inch of snow on the roads and walk, should all melt by itself.

Low 20's only heading to low 30's for the high. Partly cloudy. Looks like a good day to relax and enjoy the pellet stove. 61 trips around the sun yesterday.

48 now heading to 60! Rain and wind but I’ll take it. Looks like Templeton made the news yesterday. Momma bear and two cubs were moved from their den next to the highway to a safer location in the deep woods. That exit is about a mile from my house. Good to see everything turned out ok for the...

19 last night with a high in the 40’s. Woke up to a 50 degree house again. Hit the reset on the furnace and it fired up and ran. Had my wife check it at lunch and it was off again. Called the repair guy. He came and fiddled with it. Couldn’t really find anything wrong. Oh well, wait and see what...

Hi everyone: Looks like 8 to start with a high of 42ish. Haven't had that here in a while, Should be a welcome feeling before tommorrow's snow and freezing rain. I have a faucet and sink repair at the apartment house today. Shut off doesn't and faucet squeaks and drips. Oh well, I have all the...

0 right now going to a high of 24. Not much going on for me. Back to the old work,work, work grind.

Morning all. Second coffee is finished. Looks like 26 going to 37/38 today. We had a couple of inches of snow yesterday but it melted by nightfall. Looks like a partly cloudy day today with possible snow tomorrow. Hope everyone is safe and healthy. Not planning on doing much today. I gave up...

Nice pic Jay. Wife and I made it home safe. Big difference in weather! I'll take sunny and 82 any day. We stopped at Gettysburg,Pa. on the way home. It was nice checking out all the sites with almost no one else in the way. Walking around the cemetery with 50/60 mile winds was not fun...

unfortunately vacation is rapidly coming to an end. Stopped in Gettysburg, PA. to check out some civil war history. Currently not 82 anymore. 35 with up to 50 mph.wind gust. Will do the final leg in the morning, should be home by the afternoon. Hope everyone is doing well or healing.

Hope everyone is doing well. Congratulations on all the birthday and wedding news. Currently 70 with 82 and sunny in the forecast. (Spending a few days in Florida.) Just getting over a killer chest cold, probably should have drove to the ER not down the east coast. LOL. Hope everyone enjoys the...

Wow! This storm was one of the worst I've seen in a while. Plow was useless. Even had a hard time with the bucket. As soon as the snow was moved the water underneath froze solid. I spent more time spinning then pushing. It was like trying to move cured cement. Might have to invest in some chains...

31 here with freezing drizzle coming down on the 5 or so inches of snow. Drinking 1st coffee waiting for the storm to end and then out to clean the mess up. Will turn on the weather to see what their guess is for the upcoming few days. Not sure if I will use the plow or the bucket. Will have to...

Jay-sorry for the loss of your friend. Looks like we are on the 6 to 9 inches path with possible ice/freezing rain at the end. Off to work this morning but should be home before the heaviest starts falling. Be safe all!

21 going to 30 today. Not as windy as the last few days. Looks like 5 inches of snow coming for tomorrow afternoon into Wednesday. Should be cold enough to be light and fluffy. Tractor time!

18 above with wind gust over 40 mph. Sounds like a train going by as it blows against the house. Glad I’m warm and cozy drinking coffee inside next to the pellet stove. Not sure what I will do today. Stay safe all.

34 right now heading to 40ish. Slight rain heading to partly sunny. High wind gust expected later today. Off to work. Nothing special going on. Prayers for all.

29 heading to the high 50’s. Should be a nice day.

Sorry for everyone’s loss. Looks like the temperature will be close to 40 today. Time to break out the pressure washer and turn my truck from white back to blue. Salt must be 1/4 inch thick on there. We have 3 or 4 days of warm weather coming. Might even hose off the tractor if I can find the...

Finally got a pic of the set up I made for the 7 ft. Fisher plow. I didn’t have time to clean it up and paint it before the cold came. I will scrape and paint next summer.

-7 here heading to 25ish. Pellet stove ran out during the night. Got that fixed up and slowly drinking 1st coffee. Great news on the knee Jay. Surgery sucks! We got some good news at the wife’s doctors office. It looks like her heart procedure worked enough to put off more surgery. She needs...

-3 heading to 15 today. Should be sunny. Taking wife to heart doc today. Hopefully good news. Prayers for all.

-9 here this morning. Just finished snow blowing the drifts out of the driveway. We have more snow in drifts then we did in yesterday’s storm. Time for another coffee then heading out to work. Love my cab more and more. Tractor started and ran fine. Hope everyone is warm and safe today.

20 degrees here. Snow has stopped. Not sure how much yet, finishing 2nd cup of coffee before I suit up and go outside. 2 hour delay for most schools around here. Possibly more snow this afternoon.

13 going to 29. 3 to 6 inches of snow tonight. It appears we had another earthquake last night. That makes three in the last couple of months. Epicenter is only a few miles from me. All we get is a big snap noise and the house shakes. Sounds and feels like a tree falling on the roof.

11f right now going to 38f this afternoon. Looks like a nice day coming up. Might break out the hose and give the truck and tractor a quick splash. Tweaked my back a little so will take it slow this morning. Wife continues to mend. She is walking and moving around normal now. Still restricted...

Low 30’s for us today with some flurries this afternoon. My wife is continuing to mend and doing better. She will attempt to go to work today. She drove a little yesterday and wasn’t in to much pain. Stay safe all!

I attached them with these brackets. This was while prototyping.

I have the same conditions as Jay. 8-9 inches of snow with ice pellets coming down all day.14 above with temps heading to -3. Wind is picking up right now with heavy gust all night. To heck with wind chills-I don't plan on leaving the house unless it's an emergency. I got my yard cleaned up...

Prayers back at ya Jay. Hope everything comes out ok. Looks like we might finally get some snow. 2or 3inches tomorrow and possibly 2 feet Sunday.. wife is continuing to improve. Such a small incision sure makes you black and blue! She is not happy with being immobile but we can’t take a chance...

Thanks fo the prayers all. She made it through the procedure. Will see if it worked in the next few weeks

29 now with a high of 32 expected. Sitting in the hospital waiting for my wife to get out of a heart procedure. Been a long wait(been here since 6:30) once she gets out it will be a 4 or 5 hour recovery. Prayers needed.

7 above going to 28. Sunny and no wind. Starting to get a cold. Have a doctors appointment today so decided to use a sick day. Dentist visit early am tomorrow then off to work. Stay safe everyone.

7 above going to the 20’s. Not bad for January. Staying inside near the pellet stove today.

Looks like the next 5days are going to be extremely cold. Single digits at night with 20’s for highs. Still no snow on the ground here. Hopefully frost doesn’t go deep enough to freeze the water lines. Pellet stove will earn it’s money. Stay warm and dry all.

Fluctuating between 31 and 33 with you guessed it, another weekend with steady rain. Not sure if we will be going out or not. Depends if roads are iced over. Enjoy the weekend everyone.

29 here. We are right on the very edge of the storm. Not even enough snow to kick with your foot. I bet a mile north is getting some according to the radar. Should be partly sunny the rest of the day. Hope everyone has a great day.

18 here going to 32. Looks like it will be a sunny day. Finally might get a little snow tomorrow. Possibly an inch coming.

Happy New Year everyone! 2019 is starting out 36 and you guessed it-raining. 2 more rain events listed for the upcoming week. We need snow!

21 right now going to low 30’s today. Looks like it’s going to be a nice December day. More rain coming tomorrow.

43 here dropping to freezing as the day goes on. The wind right now sounds like it’s going to blow my sun room off it’s foundation. Second cup of coffee ready, going to wife’s relatives to help with internet issues. Ground is still to wet for outside work. Still better than what LS-mt has. Lol.

Merry Christmas everyone! We just got back from watching the nephew open his gifts. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Sunny here and 30’s.

26 going to maybe 34 today. Should at least be sunny. Jay, I picked up a bottle of window cleaner for my pellet stove from the Higgins store in Barre. Spray on and wipe off. Works great/easy. I rebottled it so don’t have the name. Will try to find it. Appears we had another 2.0 earthquake last...

55 here this morning. What odd weather. J.brumberg-yes this rain is definitely making life miserable. I haven’t been able to do any work in my yard this fall. Everything is just to wet.

62 degrees. 1 1/2 inches of rain and a 2.0 earthquake that shook my whole house. Thought a tree fell on the place.

20 degrees with not much warm up today. They say we’re in for 45 mph wind gust too. This should make for an interesting day. Glad I will be indoors most of the day. Stay safe all!

27 now going to 37 later today. Another wet weekend in the forecast. Haven’t had many workable ones in a while. Furnace gave up after all this cold, luckily it was just the control box. $110 Ouch! Pellet stove kept us warm till we could get the parts. No hot water sucked. We got enough snow...

8 above here going to low 20’s. Sunny with little winds. Maybe see if the back yard is frozen enough to do some stone wall work.

26 today going to 37. At least it finally is not raining. Finishing 2nd cup of coffee..heading out to breakfast with wife and then picking up grt.nephew to visit church social-Christmas auction/bizarre. Prayers for all. Sorry for losses and injuries.

Didn’t go to the doc, started pushing the cherry juice and water and the pain is already going down. Will see what the next couple days brings. Pouring rain here with temps at 37. Might change to snow overnight if the temps drop. Weather guessers aren’t sure. Thanks for all the prayers/good wishes.

Morning all. 37 here with rain in the air. Looks like a wet but warmer week for us. Been up since 2:30 with pain in my big toe. Hurts like crazy! My wife says thanks for all the birthday wishes. She enjoyed a relaxing day at home followed by a small party and a dozen roses from me.

Getting ready for work. Drank my 2 cups of coffee. Looks like it is a 0 degree start of the morning with a high only in the 20’s. Need to dress warm for the day. Wife’s birthday today. Will pick up some flowers and a card. Having a small get together with family tonight. Left overs and cake...

6 above here with temps going to 13 for a high. Wind drifts have filled in the driveway so I get to run the Kubota before guest arrive. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Got this on facebook the other day my wife agrees. She says I’m always looking at that dam tractor stuff! Lol.

6-9 inches on the ground according to the weather guessers. Drinking second coffee before going out to see for myself. Freezing rain might be coming so I have to decide if I should wait or clean it up now. Safe morning to all!

Same here Roy. Cold day coming with 4-6 inches of snow overnight with ice coming in the end.. Warming to the 40's for the weekend though. Tractor is hooked to the plow and blower.

Need to trim the bolts and touch up the paint.

60 right now with wind and rain. Going to be an inside kind of day. We have rain in the forecast 5 out of the next 6 days. One of the wettest years for us. My back yard is usually dry and looks like a swamp.

Pretty much the same weather here as what Roy is having. We might get a tad warmer for the high. Hope you feel better Roy! Finally had a day without wind and rain. Got some of the leaves picked up. Hopefully will have time after work to do some more.

opens this far on the first notch. About r inches. this far will be to cold.

First day of the season in the 30’s. 33 going to 50 today. Looks like foggy to start with clouds all day. Will be in the 30’s every night this week. Time to keep the pellet stove fired up.

My health insurance paid. When I went for the first one I didn’t go to the doctor first. Just went directly to CVS.

My first shot cost me 180 bucks at a CVS store. I went back for the second shot, but this time with a prescription from my doctor, and it was free. Call your primary doctor before you go. Might save you some money. Looks like a warm but cloudy day here today.

Over 6inches of rain for us yesterday. Got a little seep in from the bulkhead. Not bad. One of the rivers by us flooded the street. Today should be ok and in the high 60’s with possible showers later.

Looks like we will have a decent day today. 50 now going to 70. Hope everyone stays safe from the hurricane. Around here there was a gas line over pressure that blew up 3homes and started around 60 fires. So far 1 dead and multiple injuries. They are still trying to find out what happened. Over...

59 going to 72 with a drop in humidity. Finally!!! Might try and mow the field after work.

No real damage here. Just a few branches down. Lots of wet areas but no flooding.
