Poured first cup of coffee. 7° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 34° with partly cloudy. Stayed in house all day. Nice and warm 72°. A full conserve energy day. Today looks like another Energy Conservation day.

Mostly, thought about naming the Icebergs Volcanos. But as ice melts the Icebergs move around.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
BRRRRRR
16 out going up to 36 today in sunshine

got several shelves hung yesterday before I got too cold in garage, slowly starting to get
organized in there. Units came with big lag bolts I had to predrill and then drive in with impact wrench.
made a lot of noise but worked nicely

headed over to landlady's home for brunch today, she is likely making swedish pancakes which are
like crepes, not that I've eaten many crepes.

I hope Ted and Dona are doing ok, have sent them a note privately, he is still dealing with a lot of bad news.
Likely Dona is starting treatment.

haven't heard from Plowhog, hope he doesn't get stuck on Donner Pass. Living in the Rockies must be fun
in the winter.

hope you all have a nice weekend.

good morning, 22 and much colder. 36 will be high

The fire is going good. Watching the stack and stove top temps on the magnetic thermometers. After startup try to lower stack temp and maximize stove top temp. The fan in the back of stove blows out over the top of the stove if needing more heat but seldom see a need for it

Was able to start the old Stihl 026 but running rough on idle. The aftermarket ignition coil worked good. Rebuild or aftermarket carb is the question now

Good morning, the low (North Bay) 5 and going to a high of 19°F. The temperature outside my kitchen window is showing -5°F. Wind ENE 11 mph. Sunny!
The moon was so bright last evening that it was casting shadows. No I didn't get any pics.

Energy conservation for today, too.

Have a safe day all

I looked at the RAV 4 and was extremely disappointed in the room or rather lack of for the driver or front seat passenger, and I got into a Prius one time and that was enough for me. I pretty good sized and stiff they just didn't work for me.
I was in Paul’s previous Prius and was surprised by the amount of room. Not sure if Prime is smaller. If I was commuting to work, I’d consider one.

23 outside this AM. WOW...the moon is fantastic looking setting. I just stood there for a while and marveled at it. Looks like today will be in the 40's. But a nice day.

So I found the Christmas lights, tested them, got them hung (before dark) and of course, two strings have issues. Funny how that does not happen on the ground.
One string is of course on the top of the house...sigh, the other is the front door. Looks like a trip to HD is in order today, need some stain and beer anyway. But darn it, I don't like getting up on the roofs to hang lights. Oh well.... they are about five years old, maybe LED's are the order of the day. We shall see.

Hope all have a great start to the day. Be safe.
