Good morning.

33 going to 39 with periods of rain. Wind SSE 3 mph.

I have nothing planned for today. The dump is closed and I don't have a town run either. If it was spring, then I would have the tractor out scraping the ice off the drive way. But not at the start of winter. That is my base for scraping the snow down to.

Have a good day all.

Do you plant a younger tree each year so you'll have one small enough to fit into the house in the future, Eric?

I Planted a few Nordmann fir when they were only 2-3" inch tall, back in the pre-grandchildren era. The trees in favoured positions seem to have thrived on hope, while others that don't see as much daylight are following a few years behind. I suppose I ought to try propagating a few cuttings next year to keep the cycle going.

Eric, we call those poor unwanted ugly trees Charley Brown trees here, from the comic strip.

Interesting to learn about the "Charlie Brown" ugly trees. Not many in the UK can claim to have grown a strip of peanuts, though doubt the sheep would appreciate that sort of peanut hay.

Good morning, still relatively warm here, though a little wetter than I had hoped. Today's job is taking down some old fences. Getting staples out is always a pain, but lifting out the few posts that haven't yet rotted is always fun now I have a 4-in-1 bucket.

Buppies, great to hear your jaw felt good enough to have a blast out in your convertible.

Buckeye, I imagine working from home writing test scripts could be quite theraputic, as long as you give yourself lots of little breaks away from the computer screen. Are you using the ubiquitous National Instruments stuff for your automated firmware testing, or something else?

You forgot New Zealand

.

Yeah it's summer down here now. Been out all day checking out/planning a mountain bike track I've got to take the group around on Friday.
Even in the forest, peddling hard on the tracks it was very warm. :superman:

Eric ride seemed to have no noticeable effect on stitches only in bed at night if one rolls over

Check out Powers Equipment in Vinton, real nice people. Bought my RTV, 3301, and Zero turn from them...

Have known the Powers family for a long time nice people. The one in Lynchburg was closed and I was killing time

29 going to 57. Looking4new, I'm surprised it's colder here than northern Ontario.

Buppies, sounds like a wonderful way to spend a Sunday...I like that part of the Parkway but don't get down there often.

The weather guy just said we'll only lose 9 more minutes of daylight until the solstice. It sure seems like I'm not getting as much done outside with these short days...especially those where I wait until mid-morning for the frost to melt.

Jim, you'll soon be getting shorter days.

Eric, are peanuts a popular snack in Great Britain?

Don, that bridge still looks great.

Took advantage of the 60 degree weather yesterday and roasted 3 batches of coffee outside...drinking some right now.
