Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Good morning, yellow tinged clouds have been threatening for a while and sure enough, soppy wet flakes started to come down at 45 degrees while I was filling the hay racks. I am more than ready for breakfast, though have only set the porridge cooking on a low heat. I need to allow time for my face to slowly warm up. A quick change from cold to hot often has my jaw aching and for some unknown reason my wife has stopped buying the "sensitive teeth" toothpaste :confused3:

Managed to stay up til 12:30 or so last night. I was chrome casting old music videos. Mostly from the '70's and '80's. INXS, Live, U2, The Call, The Cure, The Cars, lots of "C" bands back then. I was going to play Bow wow wow I want Candy, then thought better of it.

Kyle, with this being the Rural Living forum I thought you were about to say, "Go Wild In The Country" - or don't you want reminding about all those free snakes ?

LS, hope your DIL has got over the shock of suddenly loosing her pet. Quietly passing away while thinking about taking a leak sounds a pretty good way to go for a dog - maybe for some humans too.

good morning all
38 out now going up to 50, should be a nice day, .86 rain last night.

No freaking horseradish for me either.
too funny, the first thing I thought of with those lovely slabs of prime rib was where's the horseradish?...
Grew up in a horseradish friendly home, local horseradish and cocktail sauce manufacturer called Kelchners makes the absolute best.

Buppies, looks like you lost your local Senator to Covid. Keep being careful out there.

Today's 50 degree high is warmest in ten day forecast. Think I might take advantage of relative heat and build another birdhouse.

I was careful this year with a fresh cut tree to add water every several days and left the humidifier on next to the tree. Tree was green and soft
when I took it down vs explosion of pine needles everywhere. I still have some vacuuming to do this morning.

Neck is really bothering me, like I slept in the wrong position but not going away. Right in area where the titanium rod and screws are, so just
reminding me of my age. Wearing a soft collar helps but soft collar rubs on beard and that becomes uncomfortable, plus I can't reach the back of my neck to
rub on some CDB oil. Might have to take some tylenol today.

40 going to 61...

Letting the woodstove go out...actually it decided to do that on its own...got up before 5 and the Eco fan wasn't turning, so knew it had cooled down...not sure I filled it full before bedtime, plus burning some wood from that lightning-killed tulip poplar I showed pix of last year.

Ted, real sorry your extended family lost a loved member. Dogs are special gifts to mankind. Hope she finds another soon.

Funny, as soon as I typed woodstove above, ads for woodstoves appeared at the bottom on the page...before I have even posted...I've seen this before.

We went out for a walk this morning and saw 3 deer close with the flashlight in the tall field...surprised they didn't run...deer are very spooked around here during hunting season. Checked rain gauge and had 1.02" last night...rained hard and woke me up.

All the dishes you guys cooked look delicious, especially after having oatmeal, than an apple and cheese for lunch, and vegetable soup (with the B-E peas) for dinner. But all were delicious, too, topped off with leftover Kirkland fruitcake.

Yep, good to see the stock market hit all-time record highs the last day of the year, but kinda feels like a bubble.

Drinking El Salvador coffee this morning. Life is good.

Pretty good timing ... was just about to pour the icing on when she rolled out into the kitchen ... :thumbsup:

Used buttermilk on both the cake and the icing (was supposed to be cake only ... ) ... will have to see how that works out ... :confused3:

LS,

Very sorry to hear about your DIL losing her dog ... never a good time to lose a pet one loves, but completely out-of-the-blue like that makes it even worse I'd imagine.

I found info for Bird, my mom and my brother. My brother will be getting his covid vaccination Monday, Mom will be getting her's Tuesday. I still can't find a source near me. I was going over the form to fill out with my mother and they do ask about Guillain-Barresyndrome on question number 7.

I hate to hear that you're having a problem finding a source for yourself, but those of us for whom you've found a source certainly appreciate your help.

Good morning, the temperature is 22°F and going to 28. Wind N 5 mph. 30% chance of flurries.

Out of the fridge and onto the plate takes about 1.5 hours here. The D-I-L does all the cooking and that is slow cooking to her. Her ribs always turn out tough and cut the meat off the bone. I'm not complaining though. When I want good melt in your mouth ribs, I go to Boston Pizza. Their ribs are good!

I am not sure what I will get up to today, probably nothing.


Have a safe day all
