Good morning!!!!

Good Morning
It’s 42 and not going up. Supposed to get pretty windy.

Yesterday was a good day. Got to see all the kids, eat too much, and like the cat in the hat, got everything cleaned up and put away afterwards. I managed to run out to the airport to put the new 4G remote control switch on the engine heater, so it was pretty complete day.

Today, I’ve got to do the reverse of Tuesday’s trip, pick up in Burlington, VT and drop off in Hagerstown, MD. There is a restaurant on the field in Hagerstown, we’ll likely eat lunch there before returning to Philadelphia empty.

I don’t have to go anywhere Saturday Drew, so I could likely make it to your soirée.

Sunday I’ve got to go to Vero Beach (empty, to bring a group back back to Philly.

Good morning! 38˚F, cloudy heading to mid 50s. Rain day tomorrow hopefully

Happy 432 Anniversary Wngsprd. (4 decades, 3 years, 2 days)

Buckeye thanks for the suggestion, will be calling the vet as soon as they open.
Gray2 ate a little food this morning after sleeping in his new lap warm bed, and mild temp newly insulated garage with Whipper.

On Mom's TV the picture is very bad so I'll get here a new one today - Black Friday sale - she does not care how much it cost only how much she saves, but her built in entertainment center will only hold a 32" and they are on sale for $119. She does not have an internet connection and the speak-to-remotes are not needed, it was hard to find a basic TV.

Our county changed the way they determine what level of covid alertness we are in and we immediately went down from red to orange when they changed to the CDC method of determining levels. No new info on cases during this 4 day weekend, Wednesday there were 65 new cases.

A friend in the gardens had too many Anaheim peppers and ask me to pick some, I did and put them in the dehydrator and then the blender. 43 peppers makes 7 oz of chili powder.

Drew hope they still have apples.

Alien, barn is coming along nicely and doors look good. We also have a problem with hail in Texas.

A PA get together. I have a feeling 3 TBN members can make that shed go together. Good times were had with the ones I attended a few years back. And we did get things done.

Likely to be cold and sloppy in Burlington, Vt. today.

Thought I heard some rain in the night. Hear the wind blowing strong now.
Our cat we brought with us is sure enjoying sleeping on the bed with us. I had no blanket on me most of the night because of it. Was hot in the house when I went to bed and didn’t need it, but got cool overnight.

Might start the BX23 and let it run some. It hasn’t ran in a couple months. Need a leaf vac, MIL is in the woods with lots of oaks. She said she’s raked and blown them twice, but you can’t tell.

I know, being a careful pilot, you'll checking the weather in northern Vermont. The forecast is for inclement weather throughout the state, but especially in the western sections. Watch for icing!

You’re correct, I am hoping that around noon-1 when we will be there it’s more rain than snow, so we can avoid a deice.

Good morning, it sure is windy today, makes putting hay out quite a challenge. I will have to sneak out tonight when it drops a little and refill racks before the full force of the storm hits tomorrow.

Hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving.

The house smells insanely good, Turkey, bread, giblet gravy, potatoes- all cooking at once.

You are making me wish my life away - in England our turkey meal is traditionally not until Christmas.

We missed turkey last year due to Covid shutting everything down. Hopefully family will be able to eat together this year, especially as the "smallest" fresh bird, which we have on order from local turkey farm, would otherwise have us eating leftovers into January (Unlike David, we only have a tiny dog to assist with any leftovers )

I do NOT agree with assisted suicide, suicide in any form as far as I am concerned is the cowards way out of life.

I feel I have to say something, I simply can not agree that everyone who commits suicide is a coward. My mom had Parkinsons disease, which she coped with very well for many years. She was a very tough lady, however her last few months were not something most of us would wish to endure. If the option had been there to end her own life she would without a doubt have taken it and it would have been a blessing for her, not at all a cowards way out. Our laws which make it illegal to help someone in such circumstances are cruel in the extreme. We would be prosecuted for animal cruelty if our pets had the same ending to their lives.

I really like seeing and hearing woodpeckers.

L4n, I do agree with you on this one

A small sleepy town, Taylor, in our county, was chosen by Samsung this week to build a microchip factory in the cornfield on county road 404 and 401. This is the largest investment made by a foreign investment in the State. The facility will employ 2000 people and Samsung will invest $17 Billion. This is about 30-40 miles from the new $1 Billion Tesla Gigafactory - which is touting to be the largest building in the world.

With Tesla moving to Texas, seems like quite a tech surge there.
I'm just glad someone is building these chips here in US.

Good morning, low temp 15 and high 19°F. Wind N 16 gusting to 24 mph. Snow! Expecting an inch which we got overnight.

I am not going to do anything with that snow.

A dump run today and then imitate a couch potato for the rest of the day.


Have a safe day all

I drove by the Tesla building last week, it is huge - 3/4 mile long.
"The Tesla Gigafactory is expected to be the largest buiding in the world - 1.21 km long - while still being powered by renewable energy, primarily solar. The current structure has a footprint of more than 1.9 million square feet, which houses approximately 5.3 million square feet of operational space across several floors."

Five highlights of Tesla factory in Texas worth over $1 billion

The upcoming Tesla facility in Texas is being touted as the largest building in the world.

Good morning! 28 now, 41 later. We have a chance of flurries today, but not holding my breath. Wind was blowing pretty good early this morning.

Slept in this morning. If 6:15 is considered sleeping in. Wife is working today, I am off. Not sure what I am gonna get into.

Thanksgiving was good yesterday. Actually didn’t eat too much for once. Good being with family this year. My wife’s candied sweet potatoes were a hit as usual. Got home and was just tired. Neither one of stayed up late. I did have a glass of Buffalo Trace bourbon as a toast to a better Thanksgiving last evening.

One year today was not so good. Spent a mostly sleepless night on the couch and in bed. No appetite, no energy, fever of 101+ most of the day. I did my daily online status with Cleveland Clinic, the response was my “symptoms were getting worse”. I think this was the last time I did the online thing. I didn’t have the energy or the concentration. Lack of concentration was becoming a bigger problem for me. I did manage to take a shower, this was the last time I would get a shower until late December.

Hope Gray is doing better Don.

Everyone stay safe out there!

I was watching the parade for about an hour and was disappointed. Between the live performances and commercials very few floats were shown.

Same here.

Gray2 got his Christmas present early this year. It’s a heated cat bed. He is eating less every day and getting weak. We are spoon feeding him but he has lost his appetite. He is 16 years old.

He’s a very contented kitty, he’s had the life so many could only dream of, and he’ll be waiting for you when he gets to the other side.

speaking of low hanging cars, made me wonder who has had the car that scraped the road the most.
Growing up my older brother worked on clapped out Austin Healey 100-4s in the barn garage, nothing like the smell
of Girling brake fluid in the morning. And that car had an exhaust system that must have hung down more than normal because
he had to fix it several times. Here's a pic of the same car after it "grew up" into a model 3000. A very pretty car IMHO.
But look at that muffler. And that's best case. I can remember a Sunday afternoon where a beautiful BRG 3000 was parked on the side of the road
with a guy trying to reach underneath, right past our very bumpy train tracks on Aquetong Road. You know, the kind of train tracks where you have to slow down
seriously as there is a big drop just past the tracks.

The 3000 and XKE convertible are my two favorite British sports cars.

Dinner went better than I expected, met a couple of new people, very nice folks, watched football. Food was OK, but I wouldn’t order it given a choice. .37” of rain overnight, 51 now but about to nosedive soon, wind is building. Expecting 20-30, with gusts over 40.
Pulled up the last of the summer flowers, the last couple of frosts did them in.
Wife is shopping with her daughter, I’m going to visit mine later, also have to call my Kiwi friend to set up a lunch date next week.
Other than that I’m not planning too much.
Happy anniversary wingsprd.

Good morning to all! Low of 17, the coldest yet.... Going up to 55 today, back up into the low 60's for the weekend.

Wng, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! to you and Mrs. Wng.

Not sure what I will get into today, I may start with the Christmas tree set up first, then maybe some outdoor lights (usually a multi-day process to begin with). I am thinking the lights might get scaled back this year.....until I get started.... then things seem to snowball into a larger display.
OR....
I might get started with the sanding on the woodworking project.....
OR....
a combination of both.... maybe not....I might just go fly an r/c plane....
decisions, decisions.....

The knee was acting up again last night, much better this morning, but still complaining. I am not sure what, if anything, has caused this irritation. I have been sitting more than usual, so maybe that's causing it. It's been 10 months since the surgery.... one would think it should be healed by now....

Well, the outdoor temp just hit 50... gonna get moving .....
Everyone have a great day!

 

[RoyJackson]

Made a dump run...pretty surprised it was open, actually.
I moved the Gator out of the garage in case stepdaughter wants to park inside (probably will, if we get snow).
Also moved the tractor so I can rearrange the garage (again)
