Good morning!!!!

good morning all.
Ron, credit companies laying back like Venus flytraps hoping you poke a toe in, then they'll suck you down with flat fees and higher interest until payoff.
and now when they send you the year end tax sheet, you can see what it all totals to, how much they have chowed down on your wallet. Gangsters in nice suits.

PJ, I'm looking at a copy of Sweetwater professional musician electronics that came in mail to past tenant here. Neat catalog, lots of equipment that made me really think about what they did; so much of this is now computerized and software driven it appears. I had fun looking and reading about the different kinds of microphones and guitars.
Popgadget, if you don't already get this catalog, I'll keep it until next time I see you. Check out the competition for speakers.

cold, cold, cold, Roy sent that cold weather down here for sure, thermometer said 9 degrees this morning.
Good day to bake some muffins.

22 heading to 38 and windy again.

Probably buck some more firewood from the downed trees today since local guy is calling for 6 to 9" snow starting Saturday night. Need to bring more onto the porch, too. Need to make a dump run, so may go hiking while I'm over that way.

Bird, hope that arm is better.

24, we’ve had colder mornings this year. Wind blew all night keeping temps up some. 33 for a high today.

Mostly, sorry about the prep, hope all is well with the test.

I’ve got an echocardiogram this morning, vaccine tomorrow morning and follow up on my aortic valve replacement next week.

Tonight is my niece’s birthday, (I’m not going) tomorrow is my middle grandson’s birthday, a drive by affair. Complete with fire truck and other equipment. It’s nice having friends in cool places. I’m just trying to avoid crowds. My son and his family will spend the night tonight, keeping my fingers crossed and praying for a few more weeks until the vaccine kicks in.

Squirrel with attitude could be most interesting.

Good morning! 17 now, allegedly supposed to get to 27. The forecast was the same yesterday, I never saw anything more than 21. Forecast for Sunday/Monday is still interesting. At the moment, the forecast is 2 - 4 inches, but could change depending on storm path.

Wood burner is feeling good this morning!

Not sure what trouble I will find today, it can be a blank slate :laughing:

Everyone stay safe out there

Not going to get my next one until 3 weeks after my next vaccine shot.
me too, I'm getting close to having a pigtail. With my arthritis I can't reach behind my head to use a trimmer, so living alone,
it just gets longer.

4 months after the end of chemo, the rest of my hair is growing back nicely. but on top has curliness it didn't use to, so doesn't lay down.
And my beard is growing very fast. One of the lab tests was for something like follicle stimulation rate and mine was very high.
Have no idea why. But I'm constantly having to trim my white beard to avoid looking like Santa Claus. On cold mornings like today,
that fleece on my face is going to feel very good.

It's a good day to be alive.
My back wouldn't last long but I love to split firewood in very cold dry weather. Wood reacts a little differently
and sometimes splits easier. Log splitter for sure. Beginning to think a 5-10hp 240V corded splitter would be the best, zero maintenance, though
you would need to top off hydraulic fluid and maybe change the filter every ten years. And haul a gen along with you. Actually good use for backup gen which
otherwise sits there begging for use.

So a 10 hp motor will need 7680 watts when operating. In one hour the motor will consume 7.680 KWatt hours. If the units are charged at 10 cents each then then that equates to 10x 7.680 / 100 Dollars = 76.8 cents. My 9kw gen should do fine... And if I had a garden tractor I could haul the whole rig around on wheels.
Stuff to think about when it's 9 degrees out and you are looking for things to do...
