Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

The chickens came out great! Actually falling off the bone! Did a 'Tennessee sweet sauce' for the glaze. That was a stick of sweet cream butter (unsalted), two tablespoons of raw honey, and two tablespoons of KC masterpiece hickory BBQ sauce. Melt and mix together, pour over the chicken. Sprinkle with basil, garlic powder, little bit of white pepper. Baste about every 45 min to an hour.

They were large chickens (about 6 lbs), smoked them at 205 degrees for 6 hours with hickory chips. Veggies were in a separate pan.

Looks almost too good to eat...almost ...glaze sounds good.

Got the seat time in today, albeit only about 45 minutes clearing the few drifts from the drive. Just as I was finishing, the neighbor was driving by and stopped. He said he was going to pick up his 12 y/o daughter, and there was a dead cat laying in the road in front of my next door neighbors. He asked if I would go scoop it up and "take care of it" before he came back with her in 10 minutes....so she wouldn't get upset. Okay.... So I went, scooped it up, drove to the back of the 5 acres, dug a quick hole with the backhoe, and buried it.

It was a stray, black with white paws. We have been seeing it around the place for about a month. A shame it died. Then, about an hour later, we were on the back deck tending to the chickens in the smoker. I see a black cat with white paws come around the corner and dash across the corral ! Freaked me out ! I know that the one I buried was definitely dead... Stiff as a board....they must have been siblings!

Roy, good news about Suzette coming home.

Eric, sounds like a great project. I remember the nice stuff RS built.

LS, glad your winds have died down...ours are just about shaking the house right now...but we never got to the 73 predicted...only 61...but that was enough for the crocus and buttercups to bloom, and the peepers to sing...at least the rain stopped and the sky was blue again. Still a lot of standing water where it doesn't usually pool.

Rich, glad you got some bike time...saw some out riding around, too.

Running back into hot weather this week after a brief respite, no rain to speak of for a while and now the wind is picking up and bringin all the dust that goes with it.
Buying in more hay for the horses, that hurts as most years we cut our own but that's life I suppose.
Unfortunately with the wind and the heat the firebugs will be active playing their little tricks, would love to catch one in the act.

Got 2 more onion bunches/sets of Texas white sweet onions but not 1015's. Got them planted and watered.

Did some more fridge looking. They don't have this particular model I'm wanting to buy at the last 5 places I've been. Will check in Bryan/College Station tomorrow.

Made a guess and bought 2 orings to fix a leaky kitchen Delta faucet spout. Turns out I guessed wrong. The inside of the spout needed to be ball honed from the years of operation. Made some measurements and turns out I need a pair of size 212's. We have a whole closet of orings bought for past projects at work. PTFE, Nitrile (Buna), EPDM Rubber and Fluorocarbon (Viton). Kalrez ® o-rings and Silicone, red ones, black ones, white ones, we got it all for you down at your local R&D company! It takes more time to dig through them than they are worth usually.

Dr appt for the high blood pressure tomorrow morning. Will go fridge shopping at lunch. Sales end on the 27th. Motivated.

Got the saddle on the Takamine guitar sanded down most of the way. It has a proprietary palathetic pickup under the bridge and there are 2 special metal shims that go under the bone saddle. One is broken, and need to fabricate a new one. I pieced the bad shim together just to get it back playing again. Might need to sand down the saddle another .030" or so still.

All in all, a good day.

Roy, glad your wifey is getting good enough to come home.

You folks be careful if you have ice conditions.

Prayers for all spoken and subtle.

Toppop has about a video of you and the jet ski

Believe it or not, Amazon sells appliances. I don't know how the prices compare, but the reviews show that most makes/models have at least 25% one and two star ratings. Doesn't say much for the "new" technology. I was looking to replace my 2005 era Whirlpool, but not if the new one will cost a fortune in repairs.

Good luck with your search, Kyle, and let us know what you end up with, OK?

Good evening all. 33F for the start, clear, calm. Sky stayed clear, wind stayed down, and high temp of 59F. Chapel to start the day, made wife breakfast, puttered with trolling motor batteries, this time the charging finished quickly for both batteries. Finished hooking up the power leads to batteries, will check them in the morning for charge. After nap bike ride, then dog walk.
Roy good news on your wife.
prayers for all.

33 right now and it looks like today's high will be a few degrees cooler (then now)

 

[Looking4new]

18 and going down to 14°F. Wind 31 and gusting to 48 mph.40% chance of flurries.

After yesterdays rain changed over to snow, we got 3". I will plow later.

The power went out yesterday evening about 9:45 P.M. I went to bed, deal with it in the morning. Junior got the genny started and switched the sump pump over to the genny power. I slept like a baby, without the messes associated with sleeping babies.
Got up this morning and so far the only fatality from the power surge before it went out is the LED light in my bedroom. I certainly did NOT get the advertised 50,000 hours out of it. It had been in the fixture for a whole 7 days.:thumbdown:

Have a good day all

 

[daugen]

Bill, surprised that LED broke, they are remarkably tough physically but yours got too much juice perhaps
Bunyip, I read that Australia has had a terrible drought, then torrential rains on top of that. Sounds like California... Did you at least get some rain?
Billy, I'm hearing those peepers here now too, wonderful sound. We made it to 72 when the sun finally popped out.

Good morning all. 45 going to 59, breezy sunny day and I'm going to be hard at work in it, getting new help working on rototilling while I work on machinery. Actually have to mow one spot because onion grass is a carpet a foot high.
Going to clean up the Kubota F mower, take some pics, and put it up for sale. First time I will have used Craigs List locally, luckily not too many people are looking for mowers in this price range, so hopefully will keep out the looky lous.

Hope you all have a great Monday.

 

[Rich B1]

Good morning. 22 now, big change from yesterday morning. Supposed to go to 31 today. Wind is still blowing. 60+ mph wind gusts in NEOH. Power stayed on here unlike other places. Showing lots of damage on the Cleveland news.

Have to wait for daylight to see if there is any carnage here.

Time for another cup of coffee.....got to get everything ready to go for the service school this week. Hopefully it goes well.....

Everyone have a safe and good day.

 

[Thomas]

27F now low 30's for high,winds are howling...good chance loss of power today.
Snow shoveling and driveway plow couple inches of snow,sticky snow base so I rough it up little that way won't have to sand.
E muffin feed little critters slow roll to work.

Enjoy the day all.

The only one in the house that quit. The others are 3-4 years old and still doing their thing. C'est la vie.

 

[Buppies]

35 high of 50 today wind still howling lots more mess to clean up lots of power outages around but I’ve still got juice. No rain most of the week but cooler temperatures coming. Lots of noise about weather system next week but think it will be north of here or another ghost

Prayers for all in need

 

[ronjhall]

Drinking second cup of coffee. 16° with lake affect snow and wind. Headed to 22° with wind and snow. Snow is not collecting around my place. Getting blown into field to east of me. Lots of tree limbs down. But they are frozen to the ground. Power outages in area. But not here. No plans other than stay warm today.

Nice to see Boss Guy here on TBN got some seat time.

Roy, hope your wife gets home today.

Drew, good luck with selling mower.

Good Morning All.

 

[toppop52]

Wind finally arrived, had gust to 20 a couple of minutes ago.
39 going to 48 with 20-30 mph winds, gusting over 40.

I’m going to service my Kubota and put a set of those Gator blades you all love, never been completely happy with originals.

I have singing frogs and flocks of birds and howling cats out back, spring is near!

Happy day and Gods love to you.

 

[Buppies]

Toppop I believe you will be happy with the gator blades I know I have been

some early flower pics and my first marigold in the greenhouse.
Got the prime ingredient in my July 4th red white and blue potato salad. Actually kinda purple but who cares...
Surprised these were at lowes and seems expensive but not if compared to online. I got 16 plantable eyes out of this little box.
