Good morning!!!!

good morning all
surprisingly warm 52 out now, rain coming in later today and continuing overnight.
At least I see the snow predicted for next week has now turned to rain.

no plans for today other than a school board finance meeting late afternoon.
got my new sheets in for rv and have been washing them. Got a new comforter; will send the one that comes with rv out
to dry cleaners. Who knows what stories it would tell...I'm certainly not using it til I know it's clean.
also added a new small tool to my collection, tire depth gauges, should be a little more accurate than using a quarter.
4 year old tires have 30k miles on them, pretty sure fronts are lower than I want, but dual rears look fine. Oem tires are Hankook Dynapros, an ok
tire but only chosen for low price to builder. I will likely change out the tires to Michelin Agilis for better wet weather grip at some point.

snowdrops came up yesterday, in a shaded spot, will take a pic this morning. Planted them last Fall, along with 130 tulips and all kinds of other bulbs.
We still have nights in the mid twenties forecast.

I could not find decent welded wire fencing nearby so ordered some from Amazon. Decided that was a must to protect the strawberries I'm planting.
Plus the electric fence. Do birds fly in and peck strawberries? Wonder if I need to put up netting, makes picking a chore.

have a safe and fun day

Good morning, the high temp for the day is 20 and it will be going down to 18°F. Wind NW 15 gusting to 23 mph. 40% chance of flurries. An upside down day for sure.

A dump/town run is in the cards for today and take a look at a couple of used trucks.

Have a safe day all

Poured hot cup of coffee. 35° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 36° with rain then freezing rain late in the day. Did not get grocery shopping done. Wind was blowing everything around. Got some of the branches picked up. More today depending on rain. Will get grocery shopping done this morning. Another meeting with financial guy this morning now that I have taxes done.
Why squirrels have bad hair days.

PJ, sorry about your Fur Baby Evey. Remember the good times.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

Good morning!

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

56f right now, going to 60s, Grey and drizzly day forecasted.

getting an early start for annual checkup trip one state over (22 miles😁) . Actually too early - Mrs got up and Internet was out. So 4AM I had to figure out the issue, got it working (obviously). BO numbers should be higher than if I had gotten my extra hour sleep without stressing on her not being able to check Facebook. . . Yay. . . (Simple fix: AutoPay did not autopay. . . Got on the 4G device and manually paid. Don’t tell her. . . I blamed it on StarLink doing system maintenance in the early morning hours since we are still “Best Effort” and not Full Service 😎👍 Don’t tell her)

Birthday presents to myself FINALLY arrived two weeks later. Invested in 10oz and 16oz Stiletto hammers, mainly because of carpal tunnel. Tried them out and it is a completely different feel after 50 years of playing with steel. Also got a titanium trim pry bar and nail extractor/pry bar.

I hope everyone has a wonderful happy healthy blessed day!

43 outside this AM, heading to mid 60's with rain expected to push through.

Sorry about the dog PJ. They do have a special place in our lives, all pets do.

Cool mad squirrel shot, Ron.

Cannot remember what I did yesterday, more framing and Vinyl work on the Milk House, but it appears to be creeping along. Still waiting on Electrician estimate to finish that off.

Need to make a beer run today. That's the top priority. LOL.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe. Stay healthy and take it s l o w.

56 going to 73. I need a dose of snow real bad.

PJ, I know you and Dawna will give Evey lots of love and hugs. Sorry for the sad time.

BEF, think your bleary eyes and scratchy throat may be caused by the train wreck air blowing over from eastern Ohio? Hope it's not near your dad's farm.

My wife and I were up not too far from you and m70 yesterday...she dropped me off at Keys Gap and then went shopping. I hiked to Harper's Ferry where she joined me on the last mile of AT along the bluff from the Shenandoah River to its confluence with the Potomac. With temps at 70F there were lots of folks in the historic area, but nobody else on the mountain portion of the AT. We had the best time.

Going to be an inside day for sure! Not sure what rabbit hole I'll go down.

Yesterday's rabbit hole adventure found some interesting changes coming to FCA (Chrysler) engines. The 'talk' is the 3.6 L, the 5.7 L, and the 3.0 diesel are / will be discontinued.

We went down a rabbit hole yesterday...

39F and "Fair" @ 07:00, heading up to around 56F for a high today before it turns colder overnight. Possibility of strong thunderstorms later today.

PJ,

Sorry to hear of the bad news on Evey.

Woke up around 04:00, got cup of yesterday's 2nd pot, watched some YouTubes, fed upstairs cats. The little one wanted to steal Old Missy's portion of tuna ... 🤬

Just turned the torpedo heater on out in the garage, was still 50F out there.

Agenda for this morning:

Make up a pot of coffee.

Get sides of sanding table screwed together and dust nozzle installed.

Lay out the handles on the blank I glued up yesterday and get those cut out.

Glue up the pieces for the forstner bit holder that I got cut to the length yesterday.

More straightening up and cleaning out in the garage.

Cut a liner for the last shelf in the chemical storage cabinet and get it reloaded.

Get some lumber, which is in the van, moved into the garage.

Later today will probably get the measurements for the wall board that needs replaced in the main bathroom and get that cut and drilled out.

Plus whatever else comes up.

Hope everyone has a decent Thursday ... (y)

Good morning! 51˚F, North wind temp will remain constant though out this cloudy day.

Feeling a little delayed soreness from the pole saw action, of course. There were two small limbs 35' up at the top of one tree that I could not reach. I just told Mom to not walk under that tree when the wind is blowing. Next time I go out there I'll cut up and haul the branches out of the yard.

Could be a car wash day if a little more sun comes out this afternoon.

PJ, sorry to hear about your beloved Evey. Give extra hugs from all of us.

Ron your black squirrels look like two monkeys this morning, did a double take.
