Hope you're planning to go there. I'd have to guess Norfolk if you're talking big ship or big jet...or Morehead City might be closer for a ship, but no big airport in the area other than military.
Good morning!!!!

24 early, 50 later with sunshine.
Since our Bermuda cruise was cancelled last year, I’m not even going to consider rescheduling until this pandemic is way in the rear view.
Ii don’t know about ports or airports, but the closest land is Cape Hatteras, a place I know well from my childhood.
Still chasing dead ends trying to get the vaccine.
Got a busy day, check in later.

Good morning! 65˚F, 80% chance of rain. FireWise clearing still on with the rain holding off, maybe.
Laying out the replacement cattle fence yesterday brought back a bunch of memories. It was on the land that used to belong to my grandparents where I spent a week every summer with them. The property boarder follows the middle of a winding creek. Some of the old fence is now 1 foot from falling into the ever eroding creek edge. One fence line is a "S" shape and I just moved the corners which not only making it a straight line but away from the creek edge. We lost a little pasture land to the creek but better because no trees to cut down. I'm just an advisor on this job, my cousin will do the installation, he has all the toys and crew to knock it out in a few days.
One of the stipulations when looking for this house was a 3 car garage. The sun easily makes the vehicles an oven even with tint on all the windows. Oh the windshield tint is still holding up good and it will definitely be on every vehicle I buy from now on.
Drew I have been looking at cruises also. However with my wife is in 1-c no use making reservations. I have notice that the cruises are now letting you get a refund with just 48 hour notice before sailing and a lot of good deals.

Good morning, 29 going up to 42, and , well who knows after yesterday's weather 
Split and stack done, look up and the tree next to splitter has a dead top, probably 20 feet exposed trunk. Time to move the splitter....
Roy, sorry to hear about you wiper , at least not drivers side.
Thanks Eric, have mask etc. ordered a HF a shaping disk, flap etc. to start. Trying to only use chainsaw for the big cuts. Plenty of windy days lately!
Ron - glad power is back-
PopG - the chainsaw discs - saw a bunch of pro carvers say not to use unless you can really focus. They have a tendency to grab and go. Youtube is a good friend, until you see a video and then start buying more tools
Wifes car in garage, tractor next to it. Other 2 garages have projects, work out stuff, storage. Could use 3 more garages with tall doors, but not going to happen ($)
Stay safe and be well, back to work...

Good morning. It's a balmy 62° with light rain and should get to 72° this afternoon. Forecast indicates we'll have rain off and on the rest of the week.
I'll be loading up the Polaris Ranger this morning and off to dealer for 50 hour oil change and checkup. When I first got it .. the battery wasn't being charged. It has an alternator capable of charging dual batteries so, it has a split wiring harness to accommodate that. The dealer swapped over to alternate side of that part of the harness .. all good.
The bad side of the wiring harness will be investigated, this visit, with possible replacement. The dealer has offered a single seat or crew "loaner" .. my choice. This will likely take a couple of days.
VFD Drill was "fun" last evening. The vast majority of our calls are grass / brush fires with support of county EMS 2nd, so we rarely have to use our "bunker gear".
The Chief decided that our new "goal" would be to get suited up, in complete bunker gear, including hood, gloves, SCBA mask / air tank and helmet .. in 2 minutes. Most of us could beat 3 minutes so .. more practice needed.
My two (much younger" nephews who are "paid" fire fighters in Palm Springs, CA and March AFB "claim" 90-100 seconds?
Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.
Prayers to all.

28°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 43° today.
Yes, wngsprd, you do remember correctly. She has several hobbies, but quilting seems to be her favorite, especially in the Winter when there's not much to do outside.
We park both of our cars in the garage, where a milk house heater keeps it from getting below 45°F. I definitely don't miss cleaning a car of snow or frost every morning. The truck sits outside, and the tractor is in the unheated barn.

I have noticed a software update on the Tempest weather station. One of the changes is that it now measures rain fall to the nearest one hundred thousands of an inch (instead of tenths) from the vibration plate. An advantage to determine how hard it is raining - when the number changes rapidly. Rainfall today so far is
0.011754”.
FireWise has been called off.

27F and cloudy @ 09:30, becoming sunny later with a high of 36F.
Got a good snow (1" - 2") night before last which stuck to everything and made it look like a winter wonderland.
Friend up the street who has been sick for several weeks with chest congestion/pain/weakness (possible COVID ?) sounds like she is finally turning the corner. Says the only thing helps with her lungs is breathing cool/cold air. Her husband has not been affected so far as I know.
It has finally gotten dry enough here that I've started to really notice it, so pulled out the vaporizer and set it up in the bedroom. Need to refill that now, after it ran all night.
Missed getting the trash out yesterday for this morning's pick up, so it's starting to pile up in the garage. Glad it's cold.
Refill all feeders on agenda, also plan to make another Texas Sheet Cake today.
Probably find some other trouble to get into.
Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... :thumbsup:
