Good morning!!!!

Good morning to all! Low only went down to 42, going up to near 70 again. Then on Saturday, 2 cold fronts come across.... one from the NE, followed by one from the NW later in the day. The only thing we will get from them is wind! The "V" they will shape will keep all the moisture up north and between the 2 fronts.... weird.

So, the family has had a few close calls with Covid... my Granddaughter in Colorado had direct contact exposure from another child in her class who tested positive.... so far, the granddaughter tests negative.... hope it stays that way.

Then my son had indirect exposure from a coworker.... they had been working a "hybrid" schedule, only going into the building 2 days a week, otherwise working from home. They shut the building down for a "deep decontamination" this week. Hopefully nothing will come of that either!

The worst part of those exposures is that both of them have severe asthma.... and therefore have "underlying conditions".... not a good thing to have!

On a lighter note: We are receiving a new upright freezer today. Rich, might only be our area, but I found that HD had a few "in stock". Not locally, had to be ordered, but getting it within 10 days. Only had a choice between a 13 or 16 CF Fridgidare. Everything else out of stock, at every other retailer. Seems they will trickle in from suppliers, but get sold almost immediately.

We gave our 21 CF freezer to our son / DIL, leaving it in place at the old house we sold to them. We purchased a new "mini freezer", a 7 CF upright, thinking it would be 'big enough' for just the two of us. ..... Take my advice... it isn't. It gets filled very quickly, no room at all for any extra. That one will be put in storage and saved as a backup.

Drew, too bad you weren't able to try out the generator.... hopefully it won't be too long before the parts come in.

Randy, time to convince Ellen that it's time to retire.... tell her that you can provide plenty of things to keep her occupied.....

Eric, you timed that rain shower perfectly! Beautiful pics!

Gotta cut it short... wifey just got a call from her sister... apparently the BIL just severely cut his thumb with a radial arm saw.... they are on the way to Doylestown Hospital.....

Everyone have a great day!

I was on HD website last evening, exact freezer i wanted showed available, clicked the button to add to cart, it immediately showed unavailable. Menards in Triadelphia WV shows availability, gonna try to order and pick up Saturday, $250delivery is a bit steep for my cheap self.

51F and fair @ 10:30, headed up to a high of 61F. Rather windy today - out of the SSW at 20 to 30 ... with gusts over 40 possible ... :eek:

Had several finches and sparrows at birdbath a little bit ago, also a couple of squirrels and four large crows at the squirrel feeder. Deserted last time I looked though.

Day before yesterday there was a large gathering (10+) of mourning doves around the tube feeders where I have been putting out cracked corn on the ground.

Need to refill tube feeders, nugget feeder, and one suet cage.

Plans for today:

Move some block over to pole barn.

Start cleaning out gutters here at the house, now that most/all the leaves are down.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... :thumbsup:

... Yea Don, Ohio has decided we have a vampire virus, it only comes out at night so best to be kept inside while the virus is out looking for victims :banghead: You can稚 make this stuff up. Our local health department head announced she is positive for the virus. The local county, Tuscarawas, is on verge of being 菟romoted to purple on the state map. That is a bad thing. ...

I'll just leave these right here ... :rolleyes:

69°F and .84 inches rain. Wet forecast for day.
Take advantage of the wx and venture to Costco on other side of island. Our 1st since Mar.

That will pretty much take the day.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I went in one of the Denton Walmarts this morning, so I checked the paper isles and there didn't appear to be any shortage of any of the paper products.

Well, just like that, I bought an upright freezer. Went to the Menards site, local store showed a single 15.7 cu ft upright in stock. It showed none last night. Put it in the cart, checked out, already have confirmation it is ready for pick up.

Yeah ... the heat was going to "kill" it and it would magically just disappear.

That never made any sense since the body's temp is 98.6˚F and it thrives at that temp. I would think the sunlight would be a better deterrent, you know the kind that kills vampires. So RichB1 is correct with the vampire virus name - only comes out at night.
In sunshine, coronavirus appears to die quickly in air and on surfaces

Bird were there any limit signs on the paper aisle? See any vampires from Ohio?:D
