Good evening all. 30F for the start, mostly sunny skies, calm wind. Light wind today, sky went from patchy high cirrus to a thicker lower stratus layer back to clear, and high temp of 48F. Slow start today, did have a bike ride, then went to Sherman to pick up granddaughter's new to her car. Dinner at Red lobster and return. Have a trip to STL comming soon to deliver said car.
Kyle, you got enough PTO to handle that generator?
Buppies did you get the rota virus?, speedy recovery for both GI tract and shoulder.
Thanks for pic's and y'all need to work harder on healing.
Mike, sorry to hear about more building damage.
prayers for all.

Got a few tractor jobs lined up for tomorrow when I was working on my garden this evening.

-20 now an going to 5°F. Wind N 8 mph. Sunny today whenever it gets light out.

I gotta go to town later, then it will be back to the house to 'conserve energy' in preparation for the snow that is coming tonight.

Have a good day all

7 degrees right now....high, about 20.
No plans today, so we'll take it as it comes...

Drinking first cup of hot coffee. -5° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 18° with partly cloudy skies. Another cold one. Interesting visit with duct guys a home show. The product they use only seals leaks in the system. Watched a video. Looking forward to Thursday visit. Going to be mostly a conserve energy day.

Found this video. Should be a good way to start conserving or doing a slow start on a cold morning.

Don, looks like a lot of work. Be Careful lifting.

Kyle, just put a model airplane propeller on it.

Prayers for all.

Good Morning All.

20 outside and cold in the house. Going to 44.

The replacement valve final came in for my HVAC unit...tech came yesterday afternoon to install it and stopped, only to learn he needed another part that they don't stock, either...will have to come back next Friday. Only this time not even the Aux Heat works. I'll go under the house in a few minutes and see if he just forgot to throw the breaker back on. Otherwise...??? These guys installed this system, and they are a large outfit. Time to shop for a new company.

I'm just glad I like cold.

 

[riptides]

15 outside, heading to 44. I don't like the cold. Was OK, growing up, as a kid and a younger man. Bad memories and now just aches and pains of life.
I feel for you wngsprd, I have had the same issues with some companies. They lose their edge after a while on service. I hope you get it fixed up sooner than Friday.

More panel duty today. Dumb*** here should have just tore the roof off as I "repaired" it and gotten new material from the big box store. Sometimes I just don't think straight, but I think metal roofs are a spring time project. I know personally, they are not a summer project around here. My butt checks still feel warm from the last episode. LOL. I really would like to take the whole building down and start over. If I have the time this year, I may do just that. Here is looking towards the future!

Hope all handle the weather on their terms these next few days. Hope you all have a great weekend start.

Be safe today!

A little snow for those of you that don't see much. We've only got about 2' so far.

ONLY............ LOL. Please keep it and whatever you are doing to attract it up that way....please continue.

A foot would be a National Emergency in this area. We just don't cope well with snow.

Some critter is dragging the food pan out of the deck box where I feed the outdoor cats. Last time it happened I found canine teeth marks. Didn稚 see any new ones, maybe a coon this time, not a fox.
...........................
Maybe young coyote.

My new generator for a work project.
Trying to figure out a way to hook a PTO shaft to it.

You'd probably have to kill us if you told us, but what's it for?:laughing:

Since I nearly always have a refund coming, I nearly always get my income tax return filed early. I wondered what the government shutdown might do, since I'd seen news reports about the IRS employees off and other news reports saying they were still working.:confused2:

So yesterday, I filed my income tax return about 10 a.m., using TurboTax Deluxe as I've done for many years. The automated response I got from TurboTax was that it would be sent on to the IRS Monday, the 28th (my 79th birthday). But then at 1:52 p.m. I got another email saying it had already been accepted by the IRS, and it also included the usual "tracking tool" which says I should receive my refund within 21 days.

And I'm not sure whether that tracking system is from the IRS or just from TurboTax.:laughing:

I do my taxes the same way. But wait until after February 1. Did you get more back than previous years?

Good morning all. Late start this morning, actually slept in which is unusual for me.

26 going to mid fifties today in bright sunshine.
I'm headed out to the garden when it warms up a bit to cut more holes in the plastic.
If I'm really lucky my helper will show up later this afternoon and he can do it.
Now I know why the pros lay plastic in straight lines and plant in between the carefully spaced lines of plastic.
I, instead, made the whole thing solid and am doing cutouts.
Maybe not the best or most efficient idea but hopefully it will work well, and be usable for several years.

woke up in middle of night to sound of waterfall in my left ear. One more week of this and I'm headed to an ENT I guess.

Riptides, any way of reinforcing those panels this time? Clearly in windy spot, am sure you don't want to do this again.

I watched some drone videos on Youtube. Don't like all the noise they make, kind of obnoxious buzzy sound, of course right now that is made worse with my hearing. Wonder if someone makes a quieter one that's not crazy expensive.

I see lots of seat time for me. YES! someone is seriously getting cabin fever and wants to get outside... I sure would.

Nope, the pension system lowered the withholding amount last year (I've forgotten why the letter said they had to do that), and my refund was actually less this year; however, overall I did pay a little less income tax on the same net income in 2018.

Ok then, thanks, that should do it for another year for me. Back to hauling mulch and dirt in 60 degree weather.
