2018-12-24,

Ahhhh...Christmas Eve (almost)

20 right now...high in the low 30's and...maybe an inch or so of snow. It would be nice to have a white Christmas!

 

[daugen]

Happy Christmas Eve everyone.
Another nice day today, warm and dry until late this week. 55 high for today.
Have muffins to bake, otherwise not much planned, though likely to blow some leaves off the driveway

Don, sorry about your aunts. Tough time of year for this

 

[Thomas]

21F moon still shining upper 20's for high, chance of heavy dusting snow tonight.

Yesterday went well pickup rake limbs branches burnt last brush pile. :dance1:
Plans for today... quick trip to town for goodies,might rake clean up branches limbs small section field.
Yesterday while ground cleaning happen to look over old artesian well never been used good 1/4" water flowing out never happen in 38+ years at this time of the year...been wet fall.
Time feed critters and start poking around.

Enjoy the day all.

Good Morning!!!! 46F @ 5:15AM. Areas of dense morning fog. Periods of rain. High 48F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall possibly over one inch.

Don, sorry for your departed aunts. Some of my strongest, and saddest, memories growing up were of funerals during the holidays for aunts, uncles, and especially grandparents. Winter still seems to take the weakest, even these days with all the modern medicine and conveniences to keep us healthy.

The touring bike is all back together and running well, using the ICU from the new dirt bike. I went so far as to pack it for the trip, and am tempted to try to leave this morning, but that weather forecast is somewhat daunting. I'll take the buggy up the hill to retrieve the garbage can around 7AM and see how bad the fog is, then decide. It was very beautiful watching it come in around sunset last night, but short of snow, I can't think of worse weather to be out on a motorcycle in than fog.

I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and a very prosperous New Year. As usual, I'll probably have little or no Internet service during the trip, so I'll catch up with you all in a week or so.

Good morning! A frosty 31 ˚F on this Christmas Eve.
Thanks for the condolences guys.

7 huge turkeys are by the back fence. Whipper has no desire to leave the warm sunroom. We got Whippers Christmas gift yesterday - we enrolled her in a 6 week training session that is given by our neighborhood "Pet Club". The class cost $35 which is donated, by the very good instructors, to the local no-kill animal shelter. Whipper did good in the summer 3 week course and is good on a leash, sits and lays down on command. At the end of this Winter course she should be able to get a beer from the refrigerator.

RNG as kids in the 60's we had a Zebra minibike that's still in Dad's barn. Is that the same Zebra brand you have?

"Who's a good doggie?"

For herself?

 

[txdon]

For herself?

Nope, because she won't be taught how to open it till the next summer class.

local women's shelter just emailed me back saying they couldn't use a Santa Claus this year due to shelter moving but would remember me next year. Well, I tried...
Delivered a xmas gift to my two year old neighbor, a box of flavored fig newtons which I know he likes. Didn't bother wrapping, not like little kids that age care...but I did put a stick on bow on top, the lazy man's approach to wrapping. His mom gave me a plate of xmas cookies which I need like another hole in my head. I admit regifting half the last plate of cookies I got, even with freezing some, this is caloric overdose for me. Too hard to take the weight off.

blue sky, lovely day out, waiting for it to warm up a little and then I'll go blow some leaves. Went down to local gas company, looked at their propane heaters, ordered smallest one, 6kw, with legs, for inside of my baby greenhouse. Was worried 10k would melt the plastic...they will hook it up with a flex line I can take off once the weather warms up and put the whole thing away.

In the sub-forum “news/feedback there is a thread about apostrophes coming out messed up using a mobile device to post. I can’t duplicate it with my iPhone. All apostrophes come out perfect. Does anyone else on the morning thread have problems with apostrophes on a mobile device on TBN?

 

[jbrumberg]

24ºF and lightly snowing to start the day. Still snowing with little accumulation so far. I might see 1” between this wave and the dried up clipper arriving later today. High temperature today will be around 32ºF. 1" of snow will not cover my field.

Randy- Thank you.

Don- I am sorry to read about your aunt and her son. Still active and dying at home doing what she loved doing is not the worst way to pass. My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers. I am happy to read that Mom’s Christmas party was well attended and everyone had a good time.

BEF- I wish safe travels for your son and am happy to read you returned home safely.

David and RNG- I learn a lot reading your posts. Thank you for sharing.

I hope that everyone has a decent day today, a great Christmas Eve and an even greater Christmas with family and friends.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

65 °F and .66 inches rain. Will it stop and dry enough for me to sealer my newly stained and neutralized concrete???

Christmas gathering this afternoon at friends a assuming it doesn’t get rained out.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Wngsprd
Thanks, still learning
Actually there is a power line above the property above us, running to the FAA station and cell tower. About 6 houses are also connected. Very doubtful they would run it down the road, not enough clients. A previous neighbor (since moved) attempted.
Technically, I possibly could get power from existing line but i would have to pay for the new poles and get easement from neighbor. Then i’d have the possibility of my lower neighbor wanting same, so i wont. Who needs the unsightly lines!

I think the beer will be warm by then?

 

[sodamo]

That Whipper sure is talented, and Don, soooo thoughtful as to his training.

And that’s why the morning thread is so popular, missed details are always noted before serious mistakes are made.
