Good morning!!!!

[KilroyJC]

Good morning to all! Low of a chilly 6°.... now only going up to 38° today. Tomorrow forecasted to hit 48°. I was surprised this morning by another inch of snow....?? Wasn't forecasted at all.....

Woke up really congested with a junky cough..... but, able to get some out and blowing the nose really cleared out a bunch. Now to keep that trend going will help to get over this.

Kyle, good luck trying to keep up with here..... Safe to say that it's a good thing to hear that work is so busy?

Kilroy, hope the direction of work continues in the positive direction. How long is it for?

LFN, fingers crossed for return of tractor today.... maybe late, that way you can continue to conserve energy for another day...

Ken, sounds like your son is really making progress and having fun too!

Wing, need pics of milkhouse progress! Love to see old buildings refurbished. Did you ever get the wire past the obstruction? Any decision on the chimney?

RNG, sorry that the price came in so high for the ADU. When we built our little cottage, it finished out at just over $60K. But that was with all work being done by us, no contractors involved. We are just under 1K sq. Ft. Continued good luck with the search.

Wow, we have climbed to 12° at 08:00..... glad I have an excuse to stay inside, at least most of the day.... I do have to make a run to the grocery store for a few items. We have to make dog food this weekend.

Strange thing happened last evening.... got up from the couch and sneezed.... then a "triple sneeze", then continued sneezing about every 20-30 seconds for 32 times (yes, the wifey was counting). Eyes got all red and watery.....
We have no clue as to what caused it.... maybe the bugs last hoorah?

Everyone have a great day!

every couple weeks I get a sneezing fit for no reason. Anywhere from 5 to (my personal record I don’t ever want to beat) 46, averaging around 12-16. Something I inherited from my father… it started back when I was in my mid 20s. Yay.

66°F and .71 inches rain.

Glad to be back home. Bit loopy from the pain meds yesterday, but that was Ok. The ointment makes my vision blurry for awhile.

A quick trip to town this morning. H&F this afternoon. Otherwise just light duty, conserve energy

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good to hear recovery process is starting off well! You really don’t need to pick up anything heavier than you tablet or a sandwich for the next week…

 

[KilroyJC]

Amazon let me down, my pole saw's delivery is delayed up to 4 days so I'll miss it tomorrow when we have the big clean-up.

Sausage flavor was better but still need just a little something, probably salt, but I'm tying to keep salt out. Sometimes lime juice works as a good substitute, looks like experimental batch 3 coming soon. I might put some peppers in batch 3.

Does anyone have an external storage device that plugs into an iPad?

I picked up a SanDisk IXpand unit in Walmart for about $50. It works, and with a standard USB on the other end I dumped all my images from my iPad onto my PC very easily.

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

Work was uneventful— boring is good! Excitement is overrated.

Mrs. made reservations for VD dinner first seating, and mom needs to be taken shopping, so no work on the woodlot today. So, when we took the dog up yesterday after work, I sent Mrs and dog up the mountain while I stayed in the shed and installed the spacers I made for the lower arms. As usual, one side came off without any problem while the other side required some heat and a 2jaw puller to get the pin to move. . . by keeping the axle Ends of the arms more outward, I expect the implements to stay more centered while in use. Otherwise I will have to install Chains and I don’t really have any good mounting points for that…

Got the seed order in, and the only item that was out of stock was black turtle beans, so that was pretty good. Ordered a couple different tomatoes, leafy greens, squashes, melons, herbs, etc. The fun part will be seeing what actually gets planted!

39F, the HVAC started kicking in about 3AM-ish. Woodstove will get fired up tonight, regardless of what Mrs. says. She doesn’t want to run out of firewood, but I haven’t even touched anything from our two ricks out on the fence (about 3 cords). We have burned not quite 2 cords since the start of chilly weather in Autumn, so we should be good into next winter already. . .

might stop for a haircut before taking mom shopping, which would also be a stop in the Habitat ReStore. If nothing else, I need to pick up another egg basket or three - with the new birds producing, we are getting about 4doz eggs a week! I need more pickling spices…

I hope everyone has a healthy safe restorative blessed day!

38 going to 50. Winter is sneaking back in.

Kilroy and Kyle, I get those sneezing attacks, too. But haven't come close to your record, Kilroy...I'm think mine is 16...but you keep the record!

RNG, sorry the deal didn't work...but I just can't see you wedged into close neighbors like that after having your big spread on the hilltop. But there are advantages.

LS, sorry the crud rebounded. No fun.

Cut a load of firewood, stacked some small limbs and the big stuff is waiting for me at the splitter. Packed up everything last night for an early departure for a long mountain hike today, but just before bed decided that I'm not sure my leg is good to go. So I'll give it a test today on a local trail, and look to next week after the rain.

good morning all
36 going up to 47 today in sun

Ted, sorry you aren't feeling well. Hope you shake it soon.
David, hope eyes continue to improve

Bill, stay safe out there in the snow, at least it's melting for you

no plans for today other than housework
have a bunch of things ready to order for new motorhome, but waiting for dealer to confirm
financing on half the cost. Usually it takes five minutes for me to be approved, 830 Fico. I think this guy uses
a wholesaler and it adds a level of paperwork. Rates are high, around 7 percent, so if stock market goes back up, will likely just pay it
off. I actually need some debt to maintain credit rating.

36 high of 48 today somebody going to get a nice snow close to me just not me. Richmond east a lot of rain two inches probably.

Feel better soon LS still say Sunday is turning point

Glad tractor is back L4N

Sodamo glad surgery went well take it easy during healing time

Wood heat is great JC

Take care of leg wngspr. Hope motor home is what you want Drew

Prayers for all our Country

39 outside this AM, might touch 50 today. We are on the cusp of a storm moving through tomorrow. We may get rain, we may not. Hope it misses us. Don't need it.

Block busting was laborious yesterday. Managed to get about a 4X8 section removed. Without collapsing the walkway. So that was good. Today will try and frame it out. And then at least get the vinyl on the that outside wall done. With the weather forecast above freezing for the next few I may press my luck and pour some concrete footers so I can build another outside wall. Completing enclosing the walkway.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe. Get well soonest LS.

Good morning. 34 degrees, 27 dew point. Waiting for sunrise to get outdoors. Could be a little nippy since the wind is supposed to be 20-30 mph. But, some minor cleanup and feed cattle at least. Clean new .410 lever, a few test shots, load up for standby armadillo / pests.

Hope all enjoy the day!

Good morning! 32˚F sunny, north wind, heading to the mid 50s.

Today is limb day at the church, hope someone brings a pole saw. I'll have my chain saw going continuously on the low lying limbs.

David is your field of vision larger?
