Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

24 going to 42.

BEF, hope leg gets better.

Kyle, when I find ants or grubs in firewood, I don't have chickens, so leave the pieces on the ground face up for the wrens to feast. They are always hunting around my firewood.

Cut another load of firewood yesterday...another tree knocked over by the storm...the only oak...and a couple of dead trees. Then sharpened the chain. I'm still burning it faster than I am replenishing, so better pick up my pace.

Good morning, low temp is -9 and the high will be 3°F. Wind NNW 8 mph. partly cloudy with 40% chance of flurries.
I have to go out and scrape the 40% chance of flurries off the driveways from yesterday. All 4" of it. That will keep me busy for a couple of hours. The rest of the day will be energy conservation.

BEF; my cats run in the opposite direction as soon as I fire up the tractor. They will sit in the warm kitchen window and watch me moving snow, but they will not venture outside as long as the tractor is running.

Ronjhall; that sky is telling me that you are going to get more snow. How much did you get?

wngsprd; have you ever thought of keep a winters' worth of firewood ahead?

Have a safe day all

good morning all
67 in Delray Beach, going up to 71 but 44 tonight as the cold weather from up North finds its way down here. But next day back up to 77
We are off to a Japanese gardens place today, where I'll learn a little feng shui ?

was able to book nicer room coming home on tuesday with a small bathroom and a real bed.
Should make the 30+ hours in train more tolerable. I think this train is always late.

just an amazing car show here, Bentleys and Ferraris all over. Had a nice dinner in marina last night, wasn't too crowded which was great. Most places won't take reservations which makes any dinner out iffy. My friends and I have a half hour limit, not waiting longer than that.

slept in a little and feel good.

Good Morning.
18 and going to 32 today.

I’m off to Hilton Head shortly, the plan is get back in time to heap up the manure bin to make some more room while the ground is frozen. Maybe get the spreader out and spread some as well. Hopefully, the manure is not a huge frozen mass…..

Still cool today 19F. I have been basically hibernating. My wife has been dragging me out to walk in the afternoons.

Speaking about squirrels this guy built a couple of squirrel obstacle courses in his back yard. The videos are pretty funny. He is also the guy who makes glitter bombs for porch pirates. Youtube is a big help when you are staying in.

Keep warm

Good morning to all! Low was 26, going up to 47. No precip in the forecast. I'll take the warmer temps though.

Didn't do much at all yesterday. Found a few sites dedicated to the new RV, so spent quite a few hours reading about it. Lots of good tips and information to be had.

We had the burgers last night (which were delicious), but opted for 'tater tots' done on the grill. If you have a chance, try them that way. Even the wifey raves about them. They are done on a tray that is put on the warming rack. Usually about 15 minutes prior to the rest of the food going on the grill, then left on until rest of the food is done. I usually melt some cheddar on them the last few minutes.

Tonights menu: pot roast in the slow cooker with all the veggies. Fried apples for desert.

Gonna run a few errands this morning, then out to the shop for a bit. I just might get those shelves done! (as long as I don't get distracted)

The squirrel video was interesting for sure! Quite the acrobatic geniuses. I wish I had that much time / energy to make stuff like that.... too many other pressing projects.

Time to get moving....
Everyone have a great day!

I seem to only get on here well after dark recently as our wonderful spell of dry weather continues. My wife even managed to get the mower out today and cut next door's lawn. I would have suggested putting a few sheep in there while the neighbours were away, except they tend to leave behind one or two tell tale signs ...

Eric, I like reading about your sheep ... ... so I find your your posts on TBN interesting

Bird, I keep thinking I may be boring people when I talk about and post pics of sheep, every week I see a heck of a lot more sheep than people !

Wng, I often find a wren darting in and out of the firewood stack I keep by the house, never been able to see what it is looking for.

I used to bring firewood in a few of days in advance and stack it at the side of the fireplace. Stopped doing that a couple of years ago as we had too many overwintering queen wasps thaw out and start flying around the house. We usually managed to zap them with an electric tennis racket, very effective except the sound of it's high frequency invertor used to drive Max crazy

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Errands done, shelves done. House smells really good... can't wait to dig in!

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Eric, you just need one of these:

very nice visit to the Morikami Japanese gardens in DelRay beach.
big place, did a lot of walking but about 64 out and lovely Going down to 44 here tonight.
amazing bonsai exhibit there, this buttonwood is 500 years old.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

32° and I’m sitting on porch swing, watching another fire. Didn’t get started till late, this burn mostly old scrap wood pieces that are rotted.

Had in person worship again as all the COVID people have healed.
Have not heard update from my brother on his. My son tested negative yesterday using an at home test.

At least Eric isn’t claiming those are pictures of Wales, cause they look like sheep.

Got to spend quality time with the snow blower today. Seemed to have gotten 4” of snow today.

Lots of empty shelves in the 2 stores we were in this morning. Fortunately Rural King had on box of cat food and some stray cans. So the cats won’t show us the door. Grocery store had 0 cans of cat food.

RK does have tires in stock for the tractor. Lots of online places show no stock. May 31 expected ship date for Carlisle tires to fit.

Everyone stay safe out there,
