Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

After that the two of them were there every morning until we moved from there about a year later.

Wonder what the new owners thought about a pair of squirrels rattling that storm door every morning?:laughing:

A cousin raised a squirrel from a baby, named him Tarzan. It would eat out of your hand, but would sometimes take a bite out of a finger, too. One time it got loose in the house and absolutely trashed my aunt's kitchen, and from then on out Tarzan was an outside only squirrel...:laughing:

Good evening! 31 now, was 51 this morning. Wind is blowing, snow was falling earlier. No accumulation.

Fired up the wood burner today for the first time. And very predictably.....the cats have assumed the position. Chloe (the white one) may be pretty much in the same spot until late March. Louie will at least move, all that hair heats him up. Callie will grab whatever spot she c@n, the other 2 are pretty dominant about pole position at the wood burner





I think they have been looking forward to this for a couple of weeks.

Cut some of the stock piled logs yesterday. Back and neck were really sore last night. Threw a chain away yesterday, it would loose its edge very quickly. Figured something was wrong, fortunately I had a new one available. Still went through 2 chains cutting yesterday. Trailer was definitely heavy coming down the hill.

Everyone stay safe out there

They look comfy. I took one of my indoor cats outside today and held it on my lap. It enjoyed being outside.

Good evening. Was a beautiful day outside. Everything dried nicely.

So, Randy would be proud of me.... I switched hats today, became an upholsterer..... The wifey has a sitting / lounging bench that was in dire need of new foam. We had ordered some dense foam and some memory foam. It arrived yesterday, and wifey was anxious to get the foam installed. So, pulled about a thousand staples around the existing frame and got the fabric off in one piece! Woo Hoo! ( I did not want to have to buy another lounger).

Used the bandsaw to cut the 3" dense foam, then the 2" memory foam. We did not use the cheaply made original frame, so cut a new frame base from some ply. Got the foam all lined up, the upholstery all centered and pulled evenly. I used my pneumatic stapler and got it all secured to the base. Mounted it back on to the furniture base frame and....

WaaLaa! All done! Wifey is very happy! It is very comfortable, far better than the original. I only thought of taking one picture....

Wow, did you put all new springs too?

Enjoy GD wedding next weekend Mostly

Agreed BEF beautiful moon last night

47 high of 51 rain showers cold front moves in freezing tonight snow in WVA 2 to 5 inches wow

Went to bed 35 degrees now 47 harbinger of our winter I am afraid at least here in mid Atlantic

Prayers Rons son Kyles son and daughter, Jay and wife all others I may miss our country

???

Thanks for all the prayers for my son. His finger is so much better, in fact, when I got the GT80 fired up, and told him he couldn't ride it until his finger is well, he went and soaked it in warm and cold baths. Today, he got to ride around in first gear. He did good, the first time ever riding a motorbike. I believe I need to put a smaller pilot jet in it. We went down near the coast to a friend's birthday party and ate boiled shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and he had corn on the cob too.

Ron, hope the docs will soon diagnose and treat what has gone wrong for your son.

Good morning. The sun is on a loosing battle this morning, it manages to shine a few rays of promise, only to be squeezed out by ever wetter clouds.

Covid infection rate has been increasing far faster than the official medical statistician's expected in England. We are all going into a 4 week lockdown again from Thursday, pubs and restaurants must close, with only essential shops being allowed to stay open.


You missed nothing. Like toilet paper, dry weather turned out to be in serious short supply this summer, the few days we had got used up on other more pressing jobs, I am still sluiceless . The ground around the wetland has been far too soft since to contemplate bringing in concrete with my little tractor. At least the temporary crash barrier is holding at the moment, not quite what I intended, but hopefully good enough for a few wading birds and ducks to use for a short vacation.
This is like your u-joint, one of those jobs that will get done one day, just not sure when.

Sorry about your lockdown Eric. I like RNG's link below. Maybe you could pen a novel called "Sluiceless in Shropshire" and make it a romantic comedy?

Not sure this Facebook link will work for everyone, but here's some good Covid-19 news for a change...

Yep.

Mostly, good to hear your stacking the miles. Hope you had a nice wedding trip.

Ron nice photo.

Sodamo, the moon was very orange here, yesterday and tonight.

Our new barncat is not spoiled. She still loves plain ole dry Meow Mix. She's funny, when pouring it in her bowl out of the bag, she'll reach a paw into the bag to try and scrape a bit more out.

Per Don's suggestion, I started a thread for the Steiner in the Ventrac page. It's had 41 views, but no replies. I did not get to work on it today.

34 right now...that's about where it's going to stay today too...
Probable snow tonight...just a couple inches

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Windy here at O dark 40.

 

[daugen]

good Monday morning all.
chilly and windy this morning, wind advisory up with gusts to 45mph today. That should help the
leaves come down.
Am off to cardiologist this morning, then some food shopping and trip to hardware store.

After getting the guest bedroom bed built yesterday, quite a job, though well made metal bed, realized there was no door
to that room...sigh. So need to take office door off and rehang it on that room.
Plan to get some door hardware this morning. First thing I'll do is carefully measure it to make sure door is same size.

never did get weather station put up, rained constantly yesterday and we were too busy putting down area rugs. Wore us all out wearing masks,
plus I goofed on sizes and one pad had to be cut down on three sides. Other pad was supposed to be exact fit, and wasn't, so that had to be cut too.
Today need to run vacuum as there is a fine layer of lint over everything. Wool rugs from Amazon/Safavieh were very heavy and I liked the colors once we had them down.
They also cost about a third of what comparable rugs were in local furniture stores

Looking forward to voting tomorrow and getting election behind us. Like most of us, tired of hearing constant harangue every time I turn on tv. She raised your taxes six times, he's a self serving
bum, she wants to defund the police, etc etc etc. And most of the time, what is said is just plain untrue and taken totally out of context. One reason I hardly ever watch tv, tune in to the nightly news and can't get away from all the noise. So I retreat to the National Geographic, PBS and History channels...

spend most of my viewing time on Youtube, recently watching videos of soldiers coming home early from overseas and surprising their wives and kids. Very heartwarming.
Hope everyone is on the mend and doing well. Sending positive thoughts to Jay and Peg and hope they are ok.

 

[Eric Salop]

Good morning, after another all night soaking we could be in for a much "drier" day at last, with the chance of some blue sky in between showers. Should give me chance to cut out a few more damaged bricks.

However I went fishing at the open house craft center and got lucky. The trophy fish will be displayed in the built-in shelves around the tv wall.

Don, angler fish are remarkable and not just for their light bulbs.

Mostly, you needed that faster processor to keep up with your peddling ? Have you ever thought of slowing down and enjoying the scenery - it must all be a passing blur at the moment

 

[Buppies]

32 high of 45 today windy too gusts to 40 mph, bright note by weekend high in 70s

Kyle I must have been drunk and I don’t drink

Prayers for Ron’s son Kyles daughter and son, Jay and wife, our Country

Coffee finished brewing. 26° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 47° with partly cloudy skies. Lots of brisk winds yesterday. Blew a large amount of leaves off trees and into field to the East. So need to get mower and Trak-Vac out. More wind today. Nothing on my list today.
Caught the moon as it was heading behind a cloud yesterday evening.

Drew, good that things are getting in place. Have a good visit with Dr.

Don, if I caught a fish like that I would have to throw it back in. No cake for me.

LS, hope you made it to shop yesterday.

Rich, warm cats.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All

 

[NHBX]

Good morning all

35 now high around 39 and partly sunny today. Windy later this morning 20 to 25 with gusts to 40.
This should take down the last of the leaves and probably more branches to clean up!

Need to start the generator and let it run a bit, just in case!

Started to clean up and organize tractor shed yesterday, will finish today.

Enjoy your day everyone.

 

[Buppies]

Power here went off yesterday for 5 hours seems to be a regular occurrence

Ron great picture of moon

 

[Buppies]

Wind is still howling 25 to 30mph leaves mostly gone but grass still dark green

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning,
the temp is 18°F and going to a high of 34. Wind NW 14 gusting to 21 mph. Periods of light snow today and tonight. The 3" on the ground so far came last night.

I get to spend another grand on the Dodge today. Sure hope the Jeep will start without a boost. It is sitting at the garage now waiting patiently for me to grab it when I drop off the Dodge.

I got two of the three remotes set up for block heaters yesterday, I will do the third one today.


Have a safe and healthy day all

 

[Thomas]

30F over cast mid 30's for high chance rain and winds gusting up to 40mph top of with couple inches snow over night.

Outside chores done E muffin time. :licking:
Plans for today...quick trip to town for fuel critter food and boot strings,than operate on leave blower :confused2: other than that we'll take the day as it comes.

Enjoy the day all.

 

[riptides]

36 outside this AM. Nice wind. Lots of branches and sticks to pick up today. Was relaxed last night with the wind, no big trees anymore by the house to worry about.

On the porch front, I need a redo on the vinyl plans. I set the starter strip only to find the house is tilted on the 38 foot run by 2 inches. I will have to regroup today. The 2 inch gap will be noticed between the decking and vinyl as I move from one end to the other. I may have to cheat and just hang the vinyl going with the deck. But that would mean a lot more cutting around the windows and door. I guess I should have noted the tilt on the sheeting and foam board. I thought it was just the original siding having an issue. Wife says don't fret, since it is a 100 years old. Just disappointed as I was just excited to do something easy.

Nice that the sun is up this early. LOL.

Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

 

[pennwalk]

I woke up to a high wind warning. It was blowing all night. Sometimes if the wind blows just right all the leaves will magically disappear. No such luck today. Piles of leaves all around. Still a lot of leaves up in the trees.

I heard a Doctor on the radio say that it was beneficial to our well being to expose ourselves to some bright sunshine ( not that kind of expose you clowns) so maybe I will try to get some outside exercise this morning.

Chris

 

[Buppies]

Great sense of humor Chris
