Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

Quite a heavy dew and plenty of sunshine this morning. Lambs are up an about, trying to persuade their mums to stand so they can have breakfast. Most ewes ignoring lambs for the moment, preferring to lie on their bed of warm grass for a while longer

David, that is real shame about Aquion. The technology sounds good, so no doubt someone will buy it up and start production again one day. I guess you have lost whatever warranty was offered on the batteries, just hope you have no problems in the near future. Anyway if you did, you know what you are doing, so you will always find a work around - yet another potential project to keep your brain working

Thanks Eric

I guess the kick in the teeth is spending months researching and then less than a month after the install get blindsided. Hopefully, the tech doesn't get bought and shelved, aka Microsoft. According to my supplier there are a number of sizable sites internationally, so the right buyer could be good all around.

Pretty good progress today, albeit slower than I'd like. Of course, wife says all my projects take longer these days. I know when done, my body will be ready for R&R.

Life on the bleeding edge, David. Keep your eyes open for the inevitable lawsuit seeking damages from those like you that bought the product when those that ran the company knew it was going down for the count. In the meantime, it is promising technology, and hopefully somebody like Elon Musk will pick it up and run with it.

Elon is also very propped up by govt funding, so that may not be the cure.

18 right now...heading to the low 20's.
Pretty much cleaned up from yesterday's storm. The hardest part was trekking around the back yard making a path so our pup could find just the right spot to do her business. The snow is deeper than her legs are long (she, being a Boxer). Almost face planted a couple times.
The snow is powdery...wind blew a lot around so I expect to clean up some drifting when I get home.

Yea, I'm used to the bleeding edge, LOL

As for Musk, if he were to buy the technology, I doubt it would survive in current form as it competes against his lithium efforts.

18 out this AM. With the wind, probably single digits. Nice sheet of ice all over. Maul time today.
Be safe and have a good day.

29 degrees still dropping to 24 with a wind chill of 19 in gusts average mid 20mph. Not going out in that....

coffee finished perking, some Guatemalan coffee this morning. And I can't have another piece of pie with it...gave the other half of that enormous cherry pie to my neighbors who were happily looking forward to diving into it.

supermarket run this morning, not much else planned. Sure hope my sheets stayed on the garden and flowers and didn't get blown off in the wind. I'll find out when the sun comes up...

if you are driving to work up North, be safe.

 

[wngsprd]

21 with a promise of climbing to 34 and wind speed to match.

Good day to try to finish up taxes when I get home from the gym, but I'll find something outside to do, too.

Wonder how Dave in Maine is getting along these days with the snow, solar, and rock clearing.

Good morning! Wow all of us are getting an early start. 46˚ heading to 70˚ and sunny!
I'll do today what I had planed on doing yesterday, a lot of hand work on my parents cattle guard. Mom had to go to the store yesterday and did not want the driveway torn up so it was delayed a day. I'm sure going to miss my brother on this project.

 

[daugen]

25mph winds out now, tail end of that storm I assume.
27 degrees
goodbye little apple. goodbye little peach. goodbye little plum
sigh

sometimes being first out of bed is not such a good idea...
