Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Drinking first cup of coffee. 40° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 46° with cloudy skies. Cleaned up shop, garage and cellar. I can now do a project with tripping over something. Going to trying and finish up cellar project. That depends on having material to finish. Maybe a trip to Maenads.
Arm where I got pneumonia shot is better today.
Yesterday morning sunrise.

David, so far I have not had clamping up of joints. Caretaker project is looking good.

Rich, good luck with phones today.

Drew, hope blood test are good.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

47 and drizzle, going to 67 and cloudy.

Ron, thanks for the sunrise...I won't see anything but fog and drizzle. The big rain over the last 2 days has knocked many leaves off the trees...depending on where I walk the ground goes from green to red to gold.

I've had the fingers lock up, too...most often after a long period of lopping, chainsaw work, or hammering.

Rip, I was tempted to get the woodstove going, but decided to wait until it gets back into the 30s.

Roaster software worked well, but I found 1 bug I reported and have gotten a reply.

35F light showing of rain upper 40's for high on/off rain today into late tonight.

Outside chores done E muffin time. :licking:
Plans for today...dump run,4 errands in town,may check game cams other than that slow motion day.

Enjoy the day all.

Good morning,
the temp is 30°F and the high should be 37. Wind E 7 mph. Periods of snow, mixed with rain.

I think today might be a good day to change the oil, and grease the tractor and BH.

Nice sunrise Ron.


Have a safe and healthy day all

Good morning! A warm 69˚F, light SE wind. Today will be an interesting weather day with a Norther blowing in and maybe some rain. Looks like another Hurricane will miss us and head inland in Louisiana near the same place the last two hurricanes hit land this year.

Still dark outside, last week on daylight savings time. Several small projects might get attended to today, nothing pressing.

Good Morning!!!! 52F @ 4:30AM. Partly cloudy skies. High near 75F. Winds NNW at 10 to 20 mph. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
So far, at least, the high winds predicted yesterday haven't materialized, the highest gust registering 26 MPH. Let's hope it stays like that. Only one fire so far in the county, but a large tree fell on a trailer full of people, pinning one who later ended up in the hospital. Power is still out, probably for another day.

Glad you weren't banged up to badly, Eric. I've seen flocks of red wing blackbirds that made that much noise.

That's a lot of surgeries, Phil!

Sounds like good progress, Mike. Nice monarch shot, too!

Got some more aluminum welding practice yesterday, closing up holes in the airbox, then painting them. Then saw I missed a couple other holes, so I'll get some more practice today once the sun starts shining and the battery bank recharges. Never thought I'd be using a solar powered welder!

Got started on the blanking plug for the cam opening, or at least got a start. I thought I had some half inch plate in the scrap box, but my search came up empty handed. I was sitting at the computer about to order some from McMaster-Carr when I remembered seeing a long bar of it in the shipping container, so got a piece cut off to use instead. But again, need to wait for the battery to recharge before I can start on that today. Maybe I should go back to sleep and let the sun get a head start on the day?:laughing:

Hope the week gets off to a good start for everyone, and the phone stays quiet at Rich's place!

Good morning all, 52 going up to 55 and weather report say slight chance of rain-so it's been raining for the last hour or so :confused2:

Got all the leaves piled and mulched just in time for the rain to take down more leaves. But still looks a lot better and will be more manageable for the next round. Then went and got leaves off the new garage roof.
Cleared out the dryer vent-what a pain, but I recommend this for everyone yearly as it's a common cause of fire.
Planted 40 bulbs and got them done right before the rains started yesterday, so timing was perfect.
Home depot run for red grease. Only finding a few tubes-seems to be in short supply here. picked up some odds and ends.

Drew - every state has wacky liquor laws-in NJ in my old town, liquor licenses were selling for upwards of $750,000! and here in PA supermarkets just got the ability to sell some wine/beer with limits about 2 years ago. Glad you finally got your license done.
Have one of those augers (30" so no bending over) but find my little bulb planter works fast, 40 bulbs in less than an hour with most of the time traveling to and fro to the different planting areas. (Ames bulb planter)
Randy -glad all went well with Ellen and hope your arms not too sore today.
LCR - jealous of the new XP - looks really nice.
LS - is that an official replica air ride seat device
Kyle-they certainly did not try to make the steiner look beautiful-so has a great industrial look

Rip - in MA they used to use dynamite to bust up the dams after the beavers were trapped. Anything less than a whole stick would not damage the dam very much.
Eric- sounds like now you need to be bubble packed-hope the bruises aren;t too bad

Picture from yesterday morning-almost bare today.

Stay safe and be well

Foggy and 64 heading for 73 later, cooler weather and rain later this week. About half the leaves are down and they’re falling fast now. One more mowing at a lower level for the winter to avoid snow mold fungus.

My arm is much better, have follow up with the doctor Wednesday.

My fingers would lock after using an air jitterbug repeatedly. It also led to carpal tunnel surgery in 1986.

Ron, glad your arm is better. I’ve had mild soreness from vaccines, but very rarely.

I’ve noticed that shortages are starting in the grocery store again.

I sure hope the COVID-19 vaccine is soon to arrive.

Prayers for all.

Good morning. It's a warm 73° with 92% humidity and our high will be about 82°. A "cooler" front is on its way, arriving here about 5 p.m. for comparison .. it's 19° in Amarillo this morning. And .. a tropical storm entering the Gulf of Mexico. The "cooler" front .. will keep it from coming our way.

I spent yesterday, on the New Holland, cutting one of our pastures. About two hours of cutting becomes 5 hours when your continuously dodging trees and low limbs.

Don .. I failed to mention yesterday, that the PR XP 1000 "Texas Edition" also includes a standard 4500 # winch with synthetic line. I used the 3500# winch, on our XP 700, quite a bit.

The 4500# winch is controlled from a dash mounted in / out switch and I can add an optional wireless remote control, for $135. That .. seems like a "no brainer".

Eric .. your "triple doink" was outdone by the Rice kicker .. with a "quadruple doink".

"On Friday I foolishly tripped over a brick in the dark in my haste to shore up some boards keeping rain off the fresh mortar. I stayed upright, however the plank of wood I was carrying took the opportunity to clonk me on foot, knee and forehead, all in one go "

Quadruple doink foils what would have been a game-winning field goal in OT for the Rice Owls - YouTube


Hope everyone has a great start to your week.

Prayers to all.

Good morning to all! Low of 19, high for today a whopping 25°.... breezy / windy with a cold 25-35 mph NW wind. We had some rain and gropple (graupple for Eric) throughout the night, leaving us with an ice coating with light dusting of snow. The forecasters have us under a winter storm warning until Wednesday..... 6-12" expected, up to 18" possible in areas.

Being the temps aren't getting above freezing today, I don't think any shop time is going to happen. There are both electric heaters and a propane heater and I can get it toasty warm, but the next phase of the project is to run the planer.... I want the doors open for that. I was hoping that there was snow so I had an excuse to spread the chips all over the drive to help with traction ..... not today.... I knew I should have gotten that dust collector.....

I think I am going to stay inside and supervise the pellet stove doing it's job! I also need to catch up on some YouTube videos... even though I don't know what videos they are.... wifey is cooking a chicken and going to make chicken veggie soup.... I can taste it already....mmmmm

Drew, those cookies look delicious to me!.... I can send you my address..... I have already mentioned the ingredients to the wifey... She said sure! Are they crispy or chewy? Reminds me of the old molasses crisps.... Maybe post the recipe if you have time?

Roy, sounds like you're set to go with the tractor for the upcoming snow... not sure if you want the "little bit" or "a lot".....

Eric, hope you are feeling better this morning..... getting bruised up is not fun....

Ken, now you're planting bulbs.... I better get my act together..... I hear rumors about a spring flower competition.....:thumbsup: Nice fall pic!

I don't know if there is any chance of beating out Ron's pictures though.....

Well, I'm going to try to get my 'relax mode' booted up.... haven't used it in a while... not sure how well it is going to work....

Everyone have a great day!
