Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

66°F and .03 inches rain.

Not much left to this year.

Trip to PO this morning. Didn’t go yesterday as tracking didn’t update until she was closed.

Solar installer showed a bit early and made the change. Shunts looking to be reporting correctly now.

Happy Hour was a good time.

Will be staying home tonight, away from the crazies. Have to remember to give the dogs a melatonin before the fireworks.


Still raining.

prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Boy....the snow wasn't deep, but it sure was frozen just under the top layer!!
Anyway, done for the day...I expect I'll be spreading ice melt on the walks tomorrow morning.

40 degs under cloudy sky didn't see the sun at all today
BEF interesting family history you wife has. My wife started doing her family tree and found that her great great uncle was General Butterfield who was known for bugle call TAPS, and was also assistant secretary of treasury I believe during the Grant Administration but was forced out for manipulating gold price. His wife Julia started a library in Cold Springs New York which is still there wife and I stayed in the area stopped at West Point and visited the library. Maybe the Lincoln's knew the Butterfield's.
Well just stuffed a few lobsters going to be a quiet NY just wife and I and a few dogs
Have a safe night to all traveling or heading out to end the year.

My wife’s genealogy is easy, it’s already in books. Lol.

She’s listed in the book “the Lincoln’s of VA” or something like that. We have a copy.

My sister in California called and we yakked for a long time. She is trying to get over a cold which her husband is now full of,
unavoidable at holidays with small kids it seems. She told me they had blocked off a week for me and dates were flexible, so stay longer
at places on the way. That means I can take a couple more days along the way. I'd worry more if this wasn't in April as far as campground availability.

got all the outdoor decorations down, only the big wreath up on barn to do. Supposed to be nice weather tomorrow, blue sky day, I'll take it down then.
I am headed down to tree downstairs, will drag it outside and take the lights off outside. That way I can use small blower to clean up outside though surely lots will drop in process. Rain coming in Friday from South, bringing in warm 78 degree weather.

Sounds good Drew, keep us posted. I'll keep an eye out for Indians.

Randy, while I like Perry Mason, I like I dream of Jeannie better.

Elizabeth Montgomery wasn’t hard to look at either.

Got 2 of these lithium battery jumpers

Bolt Power 12V Car Chargers Jump Starters Battery Booster Jumper Power Bank | eBay

Will put one in each vehicle. In past I’ve carried a set of jumper cables. These appear to be more useful as well as convenient. Didn’t take long to fully charge.

New Year's Eve. Aaahhh, how things change. Today is also my wife's 76th Birthday. Before I retired from the police department, many years ago, we always had a neighborhood combined party on New Years Eve for Margaret's Birthday and a New Year Party at our house, and yep, the party always lasted until a little after midnight. And now . . . well, we just got back from going out to eat at Rosa's Café and Tortilla Factory. I offered to take her wherever she wanted to go, and she said, "I'm a cheap date." And she was.:laughing: But we both do like the Wednesday special; 3 tacos (any flavor), beans and rice, etc.:laughing: And where we used to stay up until midnight . . . . well, I'll do good to keep my eyes open until 8 p.m., but she'll probably stay away to watch the New York Times Square celebration.
