Good Morning,
Presently 34F under sunny skies after overnight low of 32 with winds blowing 15-20mph giving a wind chill of 23. Forecast high today is 38 with increasing winds.
First on my list yesterday was to pull the Christmas lights off the boat before the winds picked up. Didn't make it. Started to pull the lights off and the winds picked up, started blowing the boat around since it is hanging from cables on the lift. Then it started to snow, time for me to quit. Winds higher today, so lights will have to wait until Monday.
Next on list, shopping trip... first stop was TSC, 35 minutes from my house. When I arrived I found I had left my wallet at home. Okay... this day is not going well.
Time to take the pup for a walk, what could go wrong with this. Put the lined vest on her and off we went. Got about half way around our 3/4 mile loop and a dog that is normally locked up in a kennel was out loose. He wouldn't leave my pup alone, male dog female pup. Finally my pup had enough and attacked the dog, she had to do it several times before the dog left her alone and went home.
On a tentatively positive note, I have had a mole digging across my driveway for the last 4 weeks. Every time I go out to the mailbox I stomp his mounds back down. When I went to run errands Friday morning I noticed that the mounding had not happened that morning yet. Later I took the dog for a walk and when we returned and I noticed that there was mounding on one side of the driveway, but not on the other!!?? Then I noticed that in the middle of the driveway the mounding was moving, like the little varmint was digging under the driveway at that point. I stomped on the mounding where it was moving and then flattened out the rest of the mounds in the driveway. I noticed on our walk Saturday afternoon that there was still no more mounding. Will check today, but I think I may have gotten the little sucker.
Due to snow, wind and me becoming a wuss, the tree didn't get cleaned up yesterday. That needs to happen today as contractors are due here tomorrow. Although I am not taking bets they will actually show up on time. Just the way things seem to work around here.
Need to call AC company that installed my mini-splits. When the wind blows from the north, one of them runs all the time. I have the t-stat set for 61F and the room was at 74. I think when they installed the line set, they didn't seal the opening in the wall. I think the wind is blowing in around the line set and onto the room temp sensor for the unit. There are 2 units on that north wall, only one of them is doing this.
Time for coffee and breakfast.
Have a good day all, let's be careful out there.
