I don't normally put sugar in my coffee, except if there is Kahlua around and I am not going anywhere. Two fingers measure from top side of index finger to bottom of pinky finger.:laughing: Top off the rest of the cup with coffee.

So you like a little coffee in your Kahlua, but don’t overdo it.

Rich, I could go for a piece of the pizza right about now.

successful morning, got what I needed at Staples and came home and worked diligently for several hours wading through
piles of old bills and receipts. It's been a tough year for my filing system...
And what a lot of money out of pocket this year for medical, over 10 grand for assisted living care.
At this point I just ship it all to accountant and let him figure out what is important and what isn't.
I've probably been giving him receipts for taxes paid on things that haven't been deductible in ten years...:confused3:

big pile of papers needing to go into shredder. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow while it's snowing out.

Speaking of which, need to go out side and shovel around generator.
If another 7 inches of snow comes, and then the power goes out, of course at night, going
to be difficult. Next time I take out the snowblower, going to go overland and make a path to gen.

My son had the same with one of his eyes last Friday. Looks bad. But all is OK from eye Dr.

I got this one from Costco.

The HDD has no data on it. Need to figure out how to send all my pictures to it. It is fast. Compared to what will be my standby computer. Which is i3 at about 8k with same memory and no SSD.

That looks like a great buy for the money.

I have a question for you Texas guys... anyone know any details about "The ranches at Woodland Ridge" ? It is outside of Walnut Springs and Glenrose Tx. They mention paved streets, power and internet, but don't say anything about water. Is there good ground water / wells in that area?

Not a bad price for 5 acres and a dried in "barndominium".... $99K

I / we are seriously considering finding a place like that. If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations, they would be greatly appreciated!

Only been through there once, and was taking some side roads home from a road racing event. That is a semi arid part of Texas I believe...but probably more rain than where you live. I would say to check it out in person.

Kyle - I would hope you have your son wearing a helmet. Now is the time to learn the value of good gear when riding!

Everyone stay safe out there

He has a good helmet, and it probably saved him from much worse problems.

Much colder weather coming in the latter half of next week.

Good morning to all! Low of 29, going for a high of 48. The wind finally cut back to just being breezy at 20 mph. There were a few gusts around 2:30 am that woke me up for about a half hour. Too exhausted not to sleep a third night....

Shop time was productive yesterday, I was able to get the main chest assembled. Just a few trim pieces to sand and put on. That will occur today, maybe get to start staining it. Did not take any pics yet.

The youngest son got stuck in a traffic backup on I-40 for 2 1/2 hours this morning due to a fatal multi vehicle crash. They had decided to take advantage of a nice day today and go to the zoo in Albuquerque..... not going to happen.... they said when they get free, they are just going to turn around and come home. Tomorrow is another day.... I wouldn't have waited that long... he said he should have gotten off the freeway at the 2 previous exits that they creeped by..... DUH!

Need to get the bird feeders filled, then some shop time. Gonna make sirloin burgers on the grill this afternoon.

Everyone have a great day!

Viking, great pictures. Where is this location?








Good Morning All.

Thanks Thomas, I thank God everyday I wake up here and I'm not in the obituaries! Couple of my friends that stopped by the other day!View attachment 685492

I have seen thousands of bears living here for over 47 years in the wilds,

I run a critter café also.

Good Morning!!!!. My place is just a few miles from Paradise, CA, but I didn't loose my home. A lot of damage to the surrounding land, though. If I had to guess, I'd venture you were somewhere up around Shasta or maybe McCloud?

Shasta , Mc Cloud, Dunsmuir are the nearest beer stores. I'm miles out in the woods from I5.

I got the pellet stove cleaned out today. Still got enough pellets in the porch box, so will wait for colder ground temps before I refill it.
Also worked a couple hrs on work stuff.
Cleaned out a sink drain, but wasn’t up to pulling the toilet that needs new seal.

Drove wife and son to town, got bbq again from same truck as last week this time set up at the Harley dealer.
Now waiting for them at Walmart, then fill up the Subaru on way home. This town just getting too much traffic. Wish I was out in the pines staring at mountains.

Mostly, no afib issue here. Basically, Sophie and I are basically healthy other than her disability and my being overweight. Other than daily aspirin, no medication regimen.

You sir are doing better then most. Wife and I both wish we were just on an aspirin.

Start off in the morning with a pill for acid reflux, and 1 at night for cholesterol. High stress job and bad genetics. Body refuses to produce enough good cholesterol even with diet, exercise, and a fish oil pill.

Then I get a shot once a month for psoriatic arthritis.

. . . and a fish oil pill.

They really don't recommend taking fish oil anymore.

The Diet and Angina Randomized Trial (DART 2) involved 3114 men with stable angina. Advice to eat fatty fish did not reduce mortality, and taking fish oil capsules was associated with a higher risk of cardiac and sudden death.

"Advice to eat oily fish, or take fish oil, to lower risk of heart disease, stroke, or mortality is no longer supported by the balance of available evidence."

The day turned out sunny and 72˚F. A good day to explore a new park. The land owner planted 1000 pecan trees almost 100 years ago, the county now uses the area with springs as a park.
