Good morning!!!!

“….. it is time to do this.”- Hawkeye It is obvious that you are/were a loyal, highly valued, long term employee for a company in transition, but your guts/heart/head are telling you what is in your best interests. With any change come risks and opportunities. I hope that you can avoid the risks and benefit from the opportunities. Good luck.

David- Thanks for sharing your newest project. I bet there was some hopping with the front end loads. It's like a giant adult issue erector set. I hope that you got all the parts in the inventory. Good luck with the assembly. I look forward to some pics.

Billy- Thanks for my friend, son, and family. No one can not fight a riptide current head on. I am never happy re-connecting with old friends who have taken different paths at times like these.

I wish the stone walls and what’s left of them in places around here could tell me their story. Our property was among many parceled in the 1700’s and gifted to soldiers of the Revolution. I am still trying to make sense of a rock debris pile here; was it glacial deposit? or mankind’s?

LOL, we carefully disassembled crates, pulled the nails and staples. Now have some nice reusable plywood and 2x’s.

Don’t have individual weights but 1933lb total.

I guess my tractor can handle that in 2 loads. Just thinking ahead.
I always save material.

Good evening all. 36F for the start, partly cloudy sky, light wind. Moderate wind today, sky mostly clear and high temp was 57F. Worked on boat cover today, trying to find some one to sew it not going well. Puttered as well and then a bike ride. Followed by a nap. Meant to get some work done on wood pile but did not happen
As far a hydration goes, if they gave us a clue as to how to check hydration level and what to look for when low on electrolyte, we could do a better job of self monotoring.
I don't worry about people know where I am, as long as they don't sell that info to someone else!
Lou, moved and lost a freinds contact info before cell phones. He tried to look me up, found a guy who had same first and last names, and went to the coollege about the same time as I did and lived in the same county I did. They both ware confused until my freind asked how my wife was doing and then other guy worked out the problem.
Ron, I am somewhat anonamous as other people come up before I do.
Billy sounds like a good way to escape the yogettes nice pics, would see that in the "cuts" on I44 after a cold front came through.
Drew nice pics, in Missouri culverts were in ditches, and drain tiles were buried next to foundation, or french drains.
Kyle glad son is better. no patience for chess.
Buckeye, nice pic.
Terry, nice pics, is the peacock vocal?
RNG sounds like you are getting into the solar project.
David(moss) welcome back, not so long this time!
Jay, any idea what happened to your eye?
Hawkeye glad wife is doing ok, congrats on opportunity to retire early hope you can do it.

They usually are noisy, but this one didn’t have much to say today.

Good morning
temp is 31°F and going to a high of 34. Wind E 20 mph. Light snow or rain.

Snowing right now, very fine stuff. We are supposed to get an inch today and another inch overnight. I may get some seat time. I may need to go around my 'route' and just drive on the driveways with my chains on that should break up the ice.

Got a phone call yesterday, a neighbour who needs a ride to town today, I wasn't planning on another trip this week but I will take her at 9 A.M. She is the one that makes the baked goodies for me. Other than the town run and maybe scrape the ice, I've got nothing to do today. YEE HAW! Energy conservation time.


Have a safe day all

52 and rained all night. Still raining and going to 56.

David, Jay called it...a giant adult erector set. Looks like fun.

Maybe we need some cornbread recipes. I had cornbread last night (cheated - Costco, from their muffin "department" so I guess mine was round, too). Wife made some Southwestern soup.

36 high of49 today over 2 inches of rain yesterday pond is full

Prayers for all

Coffee is done brewing. 36° with heavy fog this morning. Heading to 36° with continued fog, rain and maybe snow. Never made out to get shopping done. Side roads were iced up most of the day. Shopping back on list. I need milk. No other plans for the day.

Hawkeye, hope you get the retirement. When I got ready to retire and checked out fiances. I found my income in retirement was greater than what I was getting paid on a 50 hour week. Only drawback was medical. That ate up all of my HSA money. 2 years later I went on Medicare. Bought my own policy. Used HSA money to pay for that. Good luck.

David, thanks for the pictures. Glad material arrived with no damage. Now to get it together.

Jay, sorry for friends son.

LS, shelf looks nice and usable. When will next load of gravel arrive?

Jay, I also have to ask what happened to your eyes?

Buckeye, great sunrise picture.

Bird, wish I had all the papers to get my taxes done. I have no idea wife passing will affect them.

Good Morning All.
