Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Kyle, i was going 85 today going to work, and had several cars pass, last week got passed doing 90.

 

[txdon]

Good Morning!!!! 48F
I read somewhere a while back that temperature should be designated by a C or an F, capitalized, and the degree symbol left off.

I read exactly here that the correct way is to leave a space after the number followed by the ˚ followed by no space and the F or C.

It is 39 ˚F now.

Got up at 4 this morning and just got back home. After helping my cousins carry my aunt to her final resting place and taking Mom home I asked Mom if she was awake enough for a road trip. Surprisingly she was, so we jumped (well we jumped and helped her in with her walker and wheelchair) in the car and checked out the 4,100 acres in Sun City. Six hours of driving but well worth it, it made her very happy. I showed her were we had our dance lessons, my wife's Spanish classes our 3 outdoor pools and three indoor pools, three fitness centers, Indoor running track and my spinning classes, our wood shop, our gardens and dog park and ball park our trails, our pottery house and our stained glass shop, our quilting house and billiards building, our neighborhood fire station with ambulance, our pickle ball and tennis courts and our bocce ball courts and horseshoe and shuffleboard courts our Ball room which was decorated very nicely ready for a formal dinner, possibly a wedding reception where the dances and plays and choir sing and movies are played, our lakes and waterfalls and golf courses, the library, and oh yes our house. She saw on the bulletin board an announcement about the bingo games and said I should do that also because the game had up to a $300 prize. She said she can now finally answer when people ask what do we do in town

Busy week, 2 parties, 2 funerals and I get crowned tomorrow. That's 19 hours of driving, I'll need a vacation after this week.

So how much did it set you back to get the new battery installed, "Out the door" price?

A few cents shy of thirty bux, but the special offer expires at the end of the month...:shocked:

19 degrees right now...and a dusting of snow last night. High, in the low 20's today...

Took Bella back to the vet's...the vet wanted a manual evaluation of a blood test. Apparently, the first test was machine evaluated...first I've ever heard of that. Should get the results in a few days...

 

[mpham]

20 degrees with not much warm up today. They say we’re in for 45 mph wind gust too. This should make for an interesting day. Glad I will be indoors most of the day. Stay safe all!

 

[Looking4new]

11 and going to a high of 19 °F. Wind NW 22 mph. Mainly sunny.

I gotta go to the butchers today and the PO, that is all.

bef; the movie was re-released on dvd.

I've got nothing to do other than the town run so I will conserve energy for the rest of the day.

Have a good day all

It is 39 ˚F now.

Life is too short to worry too much about degree symbols, but I wouldn't want to offend anyone, so maybe I should just say - it is very mild for December.


Or, in accordance with Don's student notes (in perfectly-proper-degree-less-Kelvin )

It is 280 K now


Anyone else want to try their temperature using the Kelvin scale today ?
(Ideal for winter - the big numbers make you feel much warmer :laughing

Drinking first cup of coffee. 23° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 35° (sorry Don if it shows up at half a degree later on I am sure you and others will know what it really means) with partly cloudy skies. PT and doctor appointment went well. But what a waste of Dr and my time. Don't forget to add the money Medicare paid out.
Need to do some shopping today. My Aunt is coming over to spend the day doing girl things with my wife. I get to go get and bring her home. No other plans today.

Don, showing your mother your community did not help to convince her she should move closer to you?

Prayers for all.

Good Morning All.

Yeah, I used to know how to use that little degree symbol, but I've forgotten how to find it.:laughing: So it's supposedly 38 degrees this morning, going for a high of 60.

 

[Buppies]

39 high of 52 today less windy more big rains coming

Prayers for all

And that's the reason I just quit going to my doctors.

 

[ronjhall]

And that's the reason I just quit going to my doctors.

:thumbsup:

 

[daugen]

I can't find it either Bird.
33 going up to 51 today, finally a day I can work outside
First have a lot of muffins to deliver this morning.

Prayers and good wishes for Ed and his family.

If you take home a chicken from Costco, I think you will find this interesting.
Shows some of the challenges "our" Farmer goes through

Chicken seems to be a favorite loss leader. $1.99 for boneless chicken breasts at Food Lion, same price for many years.
Boxed chickens usually 7 or 8 dollars.
No Costco near me unfortunately.

Why Is Costco Opening Its Own Chicken Farm? - YouTube

 

[Bird]

Well, I don't shop at Costco, but I do buy those "ready to eat" chickens from Sam's Club now and then. They are pretty good and at a good price for me; may not be a very good price for the farmers. Everything I've seen and read about chicken and turkey farmers makes me wonder why anyone would do it.

16F now mid 20's for high with gusty winds.
Wind chimes sang all night long from the winds enough so I was about to get up in the middle of the night remove them.

Plans today...install Mrs. new LED kitchen light,redo shelves over the work bench down stairs clean and sweep,quick trip to home Depot for lumber,its a putter day for sure.
Time feed little critters already had my E muffin. :licking:

Enjoy the day all.

Good Morning!!!! 48F @ 5:00AM. A mix of clouds and sun during the morning will give way to cloudy skies this afternoon. High 52F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph.

Yesterday turned out pretty well. The judge accepted my hardship claim, and I was out of there by 9:30. At the Kubota dealer, a mechanic pulled the rest of the grease seal off the axle, showing that the axle was fine an saving me the $300 for a new one. The rest of the parts for the tractor should be in by the end of the week. TSC had a new gate opener for me, and I had it installed and working by 11:00. After lunch, I drained the parts cleaner into a couple five gallon buckets in hopes I can get the water to separate from the Stoddard solvent, so that's on the agenda for today. Also came up with a couple of eye bolts I hope to screw into the plates of the burned battery up by the gate, and get that out of the ground. I also came home yesterday with a new marine battery and plastic box, so I'll try to get the remains of the old box out of the ground, too, and then decide how to mount the new ones.

Right now I can hear a mouse raising Cain in the kitchen, so I'll start the day putting a little peanut butter on a trap and hiding it under the sink.

Tonight the folks I stayed with during the evacuation are having a birthday party for the wife, and I hope to see some of the photos she made while she was in Cuba earlier in the month. Then spend the night in my "old" room to save me driving home so late. Should be fun!

Life is too short to worry too much about . . .

How many good years do you figure you have left? Now don't go telling your grandchildren life is too short and not to worry about detail, they may be flying my plane or operating on me in 20 years. Eric you are right about K, I do feel like UK is one place to stay hydrated after your temp report.

Good mo0rning! 38 ˚F cloudy no wind. opps, mis spelled, ugh - life is too short to backspace . . .

Ron, still working on Mom, I think things got a little clearer for her yesterday. While we were here there was a fire by her house and my old VFD was sent. One of the firefighters was welding and started a grass fire - it was quickly contained.

Kyle, Giddings is reporting ZERO visibility. it must be very foggy there this morning, be careful.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Don, sorry about the loss of your Aunt.

Was nice you could take your mom and show her around.

 

[PJSprog]

28°F (or -2.2°C, or 271°K) and cloudy this morning, going up to 50° (or 10°, or 283*°) today. Cooler weather in the 30s will return on Friday, but mid-50s expected tomorrow.

I've been to a fairly large family-owned chicken farm, and like Bird, I'm not sure why anyone would want to do that. I suppose it would have to be a large operation for any chance of making money at it. Messy business.

I installed a combination digital/pipe organ at a mega-church in Chino CA many years ago, and it was right across the highway from miles and miles of large cattle operations. You could drive for miles in the opposite direction and still not get away from that smell.
