Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

I have found in the past that when it gets to be almost winter to go around in a light T-shirt as long as you can stand it. A little shivering won't hurt you. I am still wearing a long sleeved uniform shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a thermal outer shirt. Jeans and sneakers. When it gets down around zero F. I will put on my winter boots and my winter jacket. Below 20 below then I use the insulated winter overalls. I have both overalls and coveralls. The coveralls are Nomex rated with reflective strips. The company supplied coveralls when we hauled out of BP in Toledo, but couldn't get them in my size, so I bought my own $775.oo. They are NOMEX fire-retarded, safety striped, insulated and good and warm.
The company claimed theirs were fire retarded but when I asked them to show me the NOMEX label they couldn't.
I can prove mine are.

Tomorrow morning I go for the semi-annual tire swap. Summers off and winters on. My summers are not down to the wear bars yet, so I will get another summer out of them. I'm not in the position I need to be to get new winters this year, so we will see in the spring.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 3C and it's presently 21.0C, lightly overcast with a gentle breeze.

Busy arvo yesterday. Repair of the Church's Lawn Tractor steering went well, especially as I seem to have predicted all of the tools required to perform it. I also got information on the previous maintenance performed on it (2 yrs ago, sparse usage since). I was also informed that one of the outdoor toilets was leaking <grumble>. A quick trip to the hardware store secured the correct part = a half hours worth of 'discouraging words' emanating from the toilet block as I fixed the fault.

That left me, after a quick clean-up, 15 minutes to get to the medical centre for the application of this 24hr Blood-pressure cuff/monitor. It's bloody annoying... perhaps it led to my sleeping in this morning.

And, yes, another load of firewood was delivered this morning.

What with this BP thingy (it comes off @ 1600) I'll just do a load of towels. That's about it, take care all.

Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs Happy

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee has been poured. 31° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 52° with partly cloudy skies and brisk winds. Grocery shopping went good. While out dropped off my absentee ballot at the township offices. Couple other stops to pay bills. Sure was nice not too have to detour onto dirt roads. All the detour signs had been removed. Got home and put groceries away. Had a chilled feeling. So fired up gas logs in wood stove. Layed down on couch and took a hour nap. Back to feeling warm. Liked the warm feeling. So conserved energy for rest of the day. May get water filters changed today.
Some Fall Colors. It's what I see out my kitchen window.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 37 and going up to 39°F. Wind N 14 gusting to 22 mph. Rain.

Tire swap then back home and off to the dump and Sundridge.

With temps in the 30s, I will be putting my T-shirt back on along with my thermal shirt.

I got the winter front back on the tractor yesterday. So the day wasn't a total loss.

Have a safe day all

 

[daugen]

good morning all
a warmer 50 out not going up much in temps today but likely windy.
sounds like a major leaf accumulation day

off early to endocrinologist; glad my AIC and cholesterol not terrible and it seems taking lisinopril
for BP has helped reduce my numbers a little, only running 130's in office instead of 140's to 160.
Might have white coat issues, even when I've fallen asleep in waiting room.

need to go food shopping on way home, then likely will chase the leaves around, maybe not if too windy.

last day of October, happy Fall everyone

 

[wngsprd]

44 going to 62 and sunny, windy.

Buppies, sorry Holly is having a bad spell. It has to be tough on you, but glad you are taking good care of her.

Ron, congrats on getting your road opened. We had a similar situation here about 10 years ago, and although it was nice is eliminating almost all traffic on our road, it made us drive far out of the way if we were heading in that direction.

L4N, $775 coveralls? ...must be mink lined? If it was below 20 below here, I'd be wearing my woodstove!
