Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

ran a few errands downtown, came home to find the cover on JD mower once again blown off.
wonderful cover but no eyelets for tie downs. This time I wrapped a bungie cord around the steering wheel, with the cover
squished underneath, and then bungied that strongly to a garden cart positioned next to mower.
if we do get 40 to 60 mph gusts, I expect to find cover again in pine tree nearby.

heavy flower pot I put on generator cover working just fine.

will be nice in Spring after I take Gravely to NY to its forever home, then I'll have my nice
new garden shed for the JD finally. And no mucking with covers

grey out, looks like snow, which is coming for lunch
might go outside and try to walk a little more before I get stuck inside for days

Good Morning
29° and grey out there. High of 33 and 100% chance of snow this afternoon. Good day to sit by the fire.
Tomorrow is going to be in the50’s with thunderstorms likely.
Interesting time of year.

Yesterday, I made decent progress on a batch of small projects, moved a load of pine shavings into the barn.
Plugged the tire on the RAV4, but with little confidence, so I put the full sized spare on until Wednesday when it gets an alignment and new tires. The plugged tire will be fine for a spare in the meantime.

Wife went off to Farmers Market to hawk her alpaca goods, I cleaned up and made pancakes for youngest son and DIL. I was to late with the invite to oldest son, they just had pancakes.
Got the fireplace cleaned out and a new fire ready to be started. I’ve been using cedar siding scraps for kindling, and a pinch of Mike Morgan’s fire starter. I have a rip roaring fire in a few minutes.

Sitting in the recliner listening to Guy Clark on the audio system in the great room. Still no regrets about not bringing the vinyl and CD’s. Spotify has been great.

Have to get moving soon and dump the ash can out in the hedgerow, then find some inside stuff to keep me occupied.

East coast canada here. 3 days of white outs and places had 209 km winds. Will have to go blow a couple of driveways. It is -21 celcuis. From you favourite part of the 51 state. Yeah come up now trump and see if you still want it. You could freeze to death in 20 minutes but then again there are lots of things that can get you here.

That's only -6 in Fahrenheit

68°F and .07 inches rain

Will be investigating my broken lift rod this morning. But I did order a replacement. Will be cleaning wound up debris from rotor.

Sophie’s ophthalmologist really pleased with her progress, back in 3 months. Tech used some new high tech equipment that she was quite excited about. I’ d have to guess this doctor spares no expense getting proper tools and the training to use it. For Sophie there is a 2 stage process before she even sees the Dr with everything showing on multiple computer screens and then he does his own look see and maybe a procedure.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Got a covering of snow, some sleet, maybe some freezing rain now. Glad I stayed home.
Did get a 15 mile bike ride in.
Wonder when the Governor is going to actually resign? lol

Disappointed in Apple airtags. I have one in a remote camera battery. my brother took the battery home to charge it, he got notified by his phone of the airtag. My app, which is supposed to tell me where it is, says it hasn't seen it since Dec 10th. So much for using it to track something.

Good Afternoon Paul,
That is quite an electronics bench you have ! I’m thinking you could fix about anything electrical with your know how and that equipment!!

Good (Sunday) morning. Well, that cold front truly 'came through' as the overnight Low was 5.7C [it's still Summer down here]. Presently it's 11.4C [heading to 18C], clear with increasing wind. There was a marvellous 18.1mm in the gauge @ 0700.

With that much rain I was able to switch the horse troughs back to the 'shed tank' from the 'house tank'. Yay!

Yesterday I was able to accomplish 1/4 of what needs doing out in the tin-shed before the rain came.

I'm off to Church in a few minutes, however the "Mad Agisting Horse Woman" has requested a Paddock shift this arvo and then I should be able to chain-harrow Paddock #1 before the rest of the day being His.

That's about it, take care all.

Good Evening!

Wow all this talk about below freezing temps, snow, iced up roads, etc has got me depressed for ya'll. Looks like we have a final winter blast coming through Texas next week. I'm ready to go to Port Aransas for a few days and enjoy the weather. Guess that will have to be after 'Spring Break". Last time I went down there on SB almost froze.

Hope everyone rests easy, safe and warm tonight!

Prayers for our Nation!
