Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low temp is 18 and going to a high of 21°F. Wind N 7 mph. 30% chance of flurries.

It is never a good thing when Junior comes to my man cave at 1645 hrs and asks, "how stoned are you"? To stoned to drive was my answer. That is when I found out the pump crapped out.
This morning at 0930 I need to go to the hardware store and get two new sump pumps. The pump that we were running is 5 years old and finally crapped out yesterday. I fitted the back up spare pump into the system and it crapped out, too. We jerry rigged it to work overnight and will get two new ones today. The hardware store has lots of these column type pumps. The pumps are $115.oo ea plus 13% tax. 30 years ago they were $90.oo each, plus the inevitable tax.

People wonder why I won't have propane in any house I live in. The Whitmore Lake, MI explosion is a good example. In my 77 years on this earth I have NEVER heard of a furnace oil or wood stove that is properly maintained EVER exploding. 'Nuff said.

Happy Birthday Wagtail.

Have a safe day all

25 going to 50. Perfect winter day to end the year.

Happy Birthday, Wag! and New Year, too!

Nice tractor and bush hog, DF! You must have a good boy this year.

Ken, The National looks like a real nice place. Glad to see historic buildings restored, too. Maybe your son can play at the Rathskeller.

Ron, nice squirrel tail (tale). Terrible looking explosion...sorry about those folks. Some house explosions are caused by gas leaks or meth labs.

Worked on firewood some more yesterday...moved 10 wheelbarrow loads rather than use the tractor. Sill have about half a pallet left to split and stack before heading back into the woods once it is drier or frozen.

Good Morning!

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

21.9F going to low 50s, sunny day forecasted.

Good News! I have calculated that I have enough cash on hand to live comfortably for the rest of the year!!!


Church in a little bit, then preparatory cooking for tomorrow. Last trip up the mountain for the dogs this year, once it gets to the day-high temperatures—- it was nasty raw yesterday so that trip didn’t happen.

Now coffe and catchup on GM.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

Good morning! Started off this morning with a heavy frost and 28˚F but with clear skies and Southerly wind we will be in the mid 60s this afternoon.

Rip sorry for the loss of your Dad, may he Rest In Peace.

In PT BOI is preparing me for participation with my wife in pickle ball, he has me working out on the Agility Ladder like this but only about 5 of the 20 drills. But he has me do 8 reps X 3 sets.

The day after PT is my recovery day.

My Brother who has been very persistent on getting each new covid vaccine as it come out has covid now. I gave up on the vaccines in the spring when I got covid.

H&F cards last night with the neighbor and the wives were very victorious, 4/1.

There is a statement that starts with “What Do you mean that…” which,if I finished. Would get me put in TBN Timeout…

Good Morning Guys,
Vt, 24 to start going to 31 ! Still have not seen the sun Ron !

Ted, yes that is walnut ! Way too expensive, so when I was in the shop yesterday and the sleeve on my old coat grabbed my crosscut fence and I screwed up one of the motices on one leg, I’m glad no one was in ear shot of me ! After much thought, I came up with a fix by widening the mortise and gluing in a filler piece, which will not be seen after assembly! I’m sure I will screw something else up before this project is done !

Wagtail, Happy Birthday!

Dftodd, wow talk about a Great Christmas!! Very nice, hope for many years of enjoyment with your new tractor ! I’m jealous!!

Mountain peaks look frosty this morning !

Hope all have a blessed and safe day !
