Good morning!!!!

[PJSprog]

Problem is Rick. I have to with some. One day I was on my ride-on mower and a huge limb came down behind me and clipped the back of the mower. 1 second slower it would have cleaned me up. Gave me a heck of a fright.
Some I have thrown a long rope up over and used another tree as a pulley to pull them where I want them.Just too dangerous to leave some of them.
I saw a magpie land on a limb once and the limb snapped off.

I used to work for someone who inherited his family's business that way. His father was mowing the edge of a field with the tractor when a branch snapped off of a tree he was mowing under. It really does happen.

Afternoon all! 30 here with just enough of a breeze to feel as cold as it will be at the end of the week. Overnight lows of 2 above to a high of 18 for the day. No snow in forecast though.
Thomas: I hate to say it but I had an english muffin with peanut butter for breakfast. An english muffin with turkey and cheese warm for lunch and we are having little english muffin pizzas for dinner. Yum yum to all of them. My wife says they were buy one get two free at Market Basket.

Still hurting from friday so I stayed out of the garage today. Made two more wrist bands. One in dragon skin and one in snake belly. LOL!

Might go to the garage tomorrow and then skip the rest of the week. Will be to cold even with the space heater.
Stay safe and healthy all!

Drew, I have two of these, of course they were $69.95 about 8 years ago when I bought them. I built two more just like them two years ago. Took about an hour.

We had a good thunderstorm roll through around 4am. Wife woke up and realized she was wearing an 80lb fur turbin

Our baby girl doesn't like thunderstorms and will wedge herself between my wifes head and the headboard on the bed.

Rain moved out around noon in our area.

 

[daugen]

lots of good ideas here.
Don, I like the dowel construction, easy to take apart.
I was originally going to build this with two rows of 8x8 beams with an 8 inch wide top of natural cedar to sit on and look pretty.
Lumber is so expensive though I think a single 12 inch wide board would be fine if it had little seats like you show. Thanks
Toppop, that's a really nice solution, I might copy it.
I like the triple one

Ken, did you buy bags of soil at Lowes/HD to fill them up or do you have a local supply?

couple of tylenol and a nap did the trick. Pretty sure having a cup of coffee helped too.

The rain that was supposed to move in is actually snow. Light covering on the decks and grass, but it’s 35 so it’s not going to last long.

Just started snowing up here and freezing, Randy.

Ron, really liked that pic today.

Went to work early, ended up working later than I wanted. Some Sleet on way home. Calling for 1-2” tonight and or ice.

Good morning all, 26 going up to 40 - cloudy - forecast changed to light snow/rain mix - hope it stays above freezing so not an ice storm
Got one planter built. Now the hard part, working with the wife to see where she will let me put them!
Then fill in with dirt leaves and get some decent top soil and matting, followed by t-posts in prep to fence in from deer and varmints.

Replaced cracked hammer in wife's Keyboard, kid is teaching himself how to play. was pretty easy swap out.

Alien - glad you got the pain shot and hope the tear and back heal without intervention
Wng-happy tree fell in right direction!
Thomas- no e-muffin - might bend reality

Had to cut up quite a bit of cardboard for recycling this weekend to make space to build the planters. Too cold and windy out side.
One more planter to go...

Stay safe and be well.

Is he learning the intro to "While my Guitar Gently Weeps"?

Drew - no time to build and saw my neighbor liked his, so I bought 2, seems like the price doubled since I got them though:
Error | DNS Resolution | Northern Tool + Equipment
I wanted something bright and long lasting.

I have built from wood before. Some PT 4x4 corners and Cedar planks (think I only did 2 1x6 to make a 12" high, 8'x6' planter back then), not too hard. Could access that one from all sides as didn't have to worry about deer, only groundhog and rabbits at old house.

Bought 7' (6' high chicken wire) tall T-posts to hang chicken wire from to surround the planter. With One side able to open. Still looking at how to do that, probably just roll the chicken wire back.
I like the 8x3 as easy access from one side.

Exactly what I did, took 2 rolls. I made it so I can peel it back from both ends of the rectangle to get tractor thru.

Been a while, I keep reading about 50 posts, and clicking many to reply to, only to doze off and head to bed.

My daughter played her acoustic in church, along with the husband/wife team.

Thanks for all the prayers for her. I'm praying for you guys, and our country, and all who are sick.

I got a dead locust tree out back that needs to come down. It’s been dropping limbs.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Snow is very fine, less that 1/2” so far.

Good evening all. 45F for the start, overcast, breezy, and .4 inch in rain gauge. Overcast cleared off, windy day, and high temp was 65F. Thunderstorms came through last night., no rain till Tuesday night. Cool this week after today. Puttered this morning, bike ride and nap this afternoon. So far all the organized rides I have considered going on have been cancelled for this year

5.89 inches rain and most of current storm has passed.

Good dental visits, good until July.

N to SMA connectors not in today’s mail so no progress on internet.

Hospital was to start 1c shots today, but has changed website to TBD.

Glad to see someone informed our current prez that 100 million in 100 days is less than our current rate. Staff at our dentist office all had at least 1 shot, most 2 already.

8 degrees right now...high about 30...calling for 2-5 inches of snow tonight into tomorrow morning.

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the temperature is 14°F and going to 18. Wind NE 8 mph. Mainly cloudy.

I got the front chains on, took a hour. Had to take a quicky trip to town for some dope for the DILs abscessed tooth.
Gotta take her to the dentist today for three other teeth.

Laid down for a power nap at 7 P.M. and didn't get up until 4:30 A.M. Some power nap.


Have a safe day all

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee is done brewing. 29° with light snow this morning. Heading to 32° with possibility of more snow. If weather maps showing snow continue on current path. Will not get much. That's OK with me. Did not do more than get out to clear drive and walkways yesterday. I am getting to like these conserve energy days. Today will be another one.

Drew, hope your PET scan come back with no problems. I got my MRI scheduled yesterday. Get it 3 weeks after second Covid shot.

Looking, I do not think 9+ hours counts as a nap. Good nights sleep. :thumbsup:

Wngsprd, glad you got tree down without any damage.

Thomas, while looking for something to cook yesterday in freezer. I found a package of E-Muffins. Will start eating them tomorrow when they thaw.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

 

[Buppies]

1.75 in of rain with this storm no snow temperature holding steady at 32 no snow temperatures at 5000 feet too warm

Prayers for all

Prayers for our Country

rev 'em up Roy, sending some messy weather your way.
Hasn't started here yet, but not far off.
Like a little kid I opened the curtains this morning to see if there was snow...
One inch total, wet, probably make the roads really slick. And then it will freeze.

And then from 1/4 mile away, Station 46 pumper will go past my house flat out (actually not in the winter...)
with its Allison shifting hard into third right at my mailbox, the roar and rumble of one
big engined fire truck going by. I don't mind it a bit. Music to my ears in a way.

And makes me very grateful someone else has stepped up, someone younger for sure, to do
the volunteer work in this community. While I stay warm and dry at home.
Tip of the hat Rick. And others who volunteer.

so not going to be enough to fire up the snowblower for today. But likely a bunch of ice melt going down.
Glad I bought 30 pounds of Paw Safe or something like that and stored it in the garage. It's time has come.
Ice on the walkways not a good idea. Even delivery people can get hurt and my landlord isn't going to appreciate getting sued.

drive safely every one. I'm staying home. I live at the top of a very steep hill and I'm not coming down it in the ice.
But part of me wants to be out there taking some snow pictures say of the Delaware River standing on one of the local bridge walkways.
Bet that metal bridge is mighty cold.
But if the River ices up, there are some good pics to be had

 

[Buppies]

Might have to eat cinnamon E Muffin appeared in fridge

Nice looking Junco Ron

 

[wngsprd]

33 and drizzle, but rained all night...going to 47.

Thomas, we had e-muffins yesterday, too. Now that you've gotten many of us on that path, you quit. That treadmill wood conveyor looked pretty cool...if only I had 1000 of them stretched in a line and a lot of extension cords.

Went for a hike in the battlefield forest...didn't see a soul in 5 miles, whereas last time I saw 32 people and dogs. I guess a Monday when rain is predicted works that way.

Have a happy day!
