Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Got into 60s today, but I was indoors working.
Replaced ceiling fan in our bedroom. I had replaced switch on existing one, but not right switch, so it had High, low, low. I bought another switch months ago to try, but a pain to install so never got to it. I had a new backup fan in the garage for months now, so installed it in our room. This evening, put the old fan on my desk where it was easy to work on it, and i traced out the new switch (no instructions at all with it), determined 4 was common, first pull connected 4-1, second pull 4-3, 4-2, and 2-3, third pull was 4-2, and last pull none connected. Installed in the old fan, will test it tomorrow. The wrong switch traced out as 1 common, then it proceeded connecting to 2,3,4 with each pull, which explains why 2 were low speed, as it never parallels the capacitors. I think i have it so first pull will be no cap, 2nd pull both caps in parallel, 3rd pull one of the caps, then 4th pull is off.
That took all day.

Son came home this evening great dinner

Good Evening

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

30 outside right now, may get to 50!

Spent all day yesterday in the woods with the chain saw. Then to the log splitter.
Today is more of the same.

Hope all have a great Sunday. Be safe.

you're turning into a lumberjack.

Here's a couple pix of the hike. Longest hike so far for Della. View attachment 2796830View attachment 2796831View attachment 2796832

wow Billy, that really is a crystal clear emerald color. I can only guess it is not frozen due to the flowing spring water? Looks like fun for all.
I'm thankful you can still go hiking like you do. Hope you get the skunk before it gets you or Della.

I got home with the groceries at 5:30pm, sky was blue, temp was 78F, hopped on the motorcycle for a quick ride. It was nice. I do not like riding in town with all the traffic. Oncoming traffic trying to turn left in front of you. I ride with high beams on during the daylight. Sue me.

Fixed 3 tig welding foot pedals at work. Someone did not know how to unscrew cannon connectors. Got practiced up on soldering. Works best with a dab of solder flux acid paste. Would love to buy a used tig welder from school. That's how I got such a good deal on my Millermatic 250

Hope all have a blessed day.
Prayers for our team, our country, ****** and Ukraine.

Don, friend of mine, one of our breakfast bunch, had a stroke day before christmas. His wife is just retired nurse. Ambulance came right away, and he was in hospital probably 30-40 minutes most after it happened, maybe sooner. He said whatever they gave him, it was instant effect on him. He was out in a couple days and has no effects from it. No pulled license, free to drive.

Yes time is a deciding factor since 120 million brain cells die per hour. In Houston they have stroke ambulances that carry tPA to administer if it is a clot in the brain, However if it is a bleeder the tPA will hasten death so they had to put a CT scan in the stroke ambulance.

L4N, how long was it before you sought medical attention when you had your stroke? Any lasting symptoms? Were you confused for a while?
I have a friend, who lives in a rural area, that just had a stroke.

I called 911 about 10 minutes after I fell the first time. I actually fell twice. Junior had helped me to my bed after the first time I fell as I was going to get some clothes on. Got the clothes on and as I was getting up to go back to my chair and post here, that is when I fell the second time. Junior helped me to the chair and I posted on here and then called 911. It is a 45 minute drive to the hospital and the meat wagon didn't waste any time. They spent 10 minutes checking vitals (BP was quite high), then into the wagon and off we went. I did 11 days of physio therapy, the routine they set up for me in the mornings and after lunch I did my own routine with their supervision.

The only confusion was from the 911 operator that I couldn't convince that I was the victim. My speech was NOT slurred. She had asked me if "the victims speech was slurred", I responded with do I sound like my speech is slurred? She said, "not you, the victim".
I told her again a little more forcefully, "I AM THE VICTIM".
I almost asked her if she was naturally stupid or did she have to work on it.

I am a little bit weaker on the right side than the left.
The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body AND speech.

I used to say that I had 2 brains, one is lost and the other has gone out looking for it. lol

Billy, if you trap the skunk in a live trap, put a towel that you don't want anymore over the trap after he/she is caught and settled down a bit, then carry it to where ever you want to release it. A skunk with its' tail down and facing you wont spray. If they raise their tail then you had better get out of there fast. A skunk walking/waddling away from you with its' tail down wont spray either. If a skunk doesn't feel threatened, then they wont spray.
I have been nose to nose with 2 skunks in my life and I just talked to them in a calm voice and left them alone. They disappeared.

8 thumbs up for the LS tech fixing David's tractor. Hopefully.

Well hope turned into disappointment.
Got a call from tech about 1/3 of way here. Truck broke down, waiting for assistance.
Replacement fuel pump on order. Visit to be rescheduled.

Coffee is done brewing. 22° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 37° with mixed winter precipitation. Shop and pole barn are clean. Had to clear path for water flow at back barn and house patio. Was able to take
sassy for a walk to back of property. Not sure what I will get into today.
Sunday's sunrise. Forgot to download it from camera.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

 

[Happy in NC]

Good morning TBN!!

Right at the freezing mark this morning. Supposed to get to mid 70s under sun today
Mostly out running around yesterday wishing I could be home. Beautiful day!!
Went and got our eye exams and looked at glasses. Had an issue with them only accepting our insurance
in just one of their locations. Not the one we were at. Decided to go back when patience level recharges.
Home too late to get started on anything so will try again today.
Not sure what the day holds but it will be outside!!

Time for a second cup.
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

 

[NHBX]

Good morning,
34° now, Yesterday’s high was 51°.

Today 02/26
A mix of clouds and sun. High 47F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph.

Tonight 02/26
Cloudy with snow developing after midnight. Low 29F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 80%. Snow accumulations less than one inch.

Not much planned for today again, any area outside not on pavement is already a muddy mess with yesterday’s warm temps and snow melt. May take a trip to the coast and have lunch if the Mrs. is up for it.

Enjoy your day everyone
Stay safe and healthy

31 going to 68 and sunny.

Gotta admit, it's feeling great outside the last few days. I love snow and cold, but needed this change. Even heard the first gobbles of the year behind my house yesterday before sunrise. Daffodil buds were so swollen yesterday, I'm sure some will open today.

Prayers for your dad, Ken...and for you and your wife, Buppies.

Rip, leave a couple of dead ones for the woodpeckers.

Yesterday, I cleaned out all of the bluebird boxes...did a couple of minor repairs, and totally replaced one that was splitting open. All had nests from last year. Then changed the oil in my truck. Took longer than it should have. I'm getting slower, and the skid plate is getting heavier each time. I still haven't figured out the best way to get the little plastic oil filter drain tool inserted without making a mess about half the time.

Saw a red fox and a raccoon out in the front earlier, and then 2 rabbits a little bit ago...no skunks! When I see a skunk, I stay at least 20 yards away, upwind, then run it off, or...

good morning, 34 going to 59

Visit with the clinic went well, splint is off and two fingers taped together. Joints are stiff so the work to get them bending has started.

Need to pickup recycle trash can and work on some house hold clean up chores

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 18 and going to a high of 30°F. Wind N 5 mph. 30% chance of flurries.

According to the long range forecast there is more snow coming Friday night and Saturday. I think that is a good excuse to conserve energy.

Have a safe day all

 

[scott_vt]

Good Morning,
Ct, 30 to start going to 49 ! Looks to be another nice day, which is good because I’m working today !

Yesterday I managed to get most of my truck waxed, with the temps around 51 or so it was just warm enough ! As nice as it is to have the truck looking good , it will not look like that after driving to Vermont on Thursday afternoon!

Ron, beautiful sunrise !

The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body AND speech.

GM Bill, kind of sounds like US politics!

Will miss my long walk or hike today, the exercise from work will have to suffice !

Paul, maybe you missed it, but was curious if your 3D printer offered different materials to create parts with ? Possibly a stronger or more durable plastic ?

Looks blue and sunny, so we are off to a good start ! Hope all have a great day !

Good Morning,

GM Bill, kind of sounds like US politics!

Hope all have a great day !

Canadian politics too! From municipal all the way to the top.

My 96 yo mom still has fairly good mental capacity, being able to remember passwords and such.

That sounds like some good news on your Mom. She will be in my prayers.

 

[riptides]

31 outside this AM, heading to mid 60's.

Looks to be a totally different day. Got called into the big city, so we shall see what this is all about.

On the game cam front, we seem to have another fox under one of our run in pasture sheds. Got one pic before the batteries died. We had a den there a year or two ago. I reloaded with fresh energy and will monitor.

Did more wood yesterday, was hoping to get more today, will have to wait on that.

Daffodils look ready to pop here too, Mother nature moves fast.

Hoping all have a great day, be safe.
