Good morning!!!!

Brembos and Konis as good as it gets Frits, nice install.
and if we didn't have so much road salt
they would stay looking nice too

I wish Koni made FSD shocks for my car. They did for the motorhome, so put them on.
Car really needs it, rides too firmly for me on these bumpy back roads.
stock is the typical Sachs shock, upgrade is Bilstein. But nothing for a softer ride.

Good Morning
26°, high in the low 30’s today under a clear sky.

Yesterday, I did manage to check a few barn chores off the list, but it was definitely an energy conservation day. Picked up some rock wool at Lowe’s and buried the exposed water lines in it, I had already encased them in spray foam, and they were only out in the open for about 15”, so I’m comfortable that they will not be an issue, especially with the hot water recirculating and the two PEX lines tywrapped together.

Made meatloaf and wrapped up single servings in foil and froze them. Had a turkey, stuffing and cranberry relish sandwich on home made bread for lunch and a hot turkey plate for dinner. No music last night.

This morning , I’m off to Palm Beach, be back later this afternoon. Then I’ve got the rest of the year off.

24.3 the low so far still breezy tired this morning. Time off extends to at least Tuesday too cold to pave. When we do finish walking path then back to business park.

68.6 in house not too bad as set on 69.

Impressive calipers m7040 yes I prefer Flemings to Ruth Crist better quality in my mind.

When we would take our dogs to groomers they would get so excited afterwards does Sassy do that Ron?

Prayers for all silent or spoken our Country

Drew Tire Rack and Discount Tire one in same now. Discount Tire bought them out in 2022. I guess if you can’t beat them buy them out huh!

Hope you already took your hike...the wind chill up on Stony Man is 4F right now.

No hike yet, and too cold now.
Haven’t even been out of the house in 2 days.

Good Morning,
Vt, 22 to start going to 30 ! Mostly clouds now and I think most of the day will be the same !

Not much planned for the day, we are only here until early tomorrow afternoon!
Don’t think I will get anything done in the shop , by the time I get the wood stove going I would only have a few hours to accomplish anything! Hopefully after Christmas I can get a couple days of work done on the rockers !

Mostly, sorry to hear you missed out on thanksgiving dinner !

Ron, hope Sassy enjoys the grooming !

Buppies, hope you can get the trail finished up when it warms up !

Prayers for Ted and Dona !

Hope all have a good Saturday!

First real freeze overnight.
We had a bunch of heavy frosts but getting up this morning it's aboot 25 and the few puddles are rock solid. Prior to this standing water only had a small fringe of frost around the edges.
Good thing I shut all the outside taps off and brought in the hoses yesterday.
Both pressure washers are safely in the heated garage.
Sun/cloud mix and fairly strong wind otherwise.
Not a pleasant day to do stuff outside, especially when you're not used to the cold yet.
So I won't.

Good Morning! Very close to our first freeze at 34˚F this morning. The Southerly wind will bring the temp to the mid 60s this afternoon.

The outside Christmas light are up, only put lights on the two cedar trees by the front door and a lit door wreath, anything else would require ladder work. I do have extra lights that I may put on the hedges but first I got to trim them.

House temp is 69 so the central heater is turned on for the first time.

24 outside this AM, heading to lower 40's.

Need to do the winterization routines this AM, heat lamps and outside faucets. Also need to get a few plants in the ground. That should be interesting. I guess winter is finally here.

Ran out yesterday for paint and caulk. Managed to get bathroom ceiling painted, again. Only spilled paint on myself once. Unfortunate boards I put up to cover chimney hole have leached something out of them this AM. I'll have to redo those with Kilz and more paint later. Got the walls to work on too. Simple frames for the entrance turned into a redo walls and paint project. LOL.

Looking forward to the afternoon and a nice walk with the wife and not my dog around the property. Will scope out firewood and wildlife. Not much else pressing on the agenda.

Hope all have a good day, be safe. Those ailing....get well soon.

Rip, when will you have the grand opening of the Milk House?
I bet it will be beautiful
