Mostly, I said the house needs painted, I didn’t say I was painting it. 
County GIS system has the appraised values, you can look any property up. Also see the last sale date and price.

15° right now...high around 30°
Surprisingly, it's still snowing! Very fine and I don't expect much more accumulation (I've been wrong about that before!).
No biggie...lazy Sunday and I'll get to it when I get to it...
Wife and stepdaughters (and granddaughter) enjoying the visit. Margeaux isn't fond of strangers, but they had a great time in the snow yesterday. Margeaux, being mostly Great Pyrenees, loves snow...and being a herding breed, was doing her best to herd the crew
Just after 0530...not much use getting up...

good morning all and thanks for birthday wishes.
Two years ago didn't think I'd make my 72nd but here I am.
cold morning, lot of frozen snow and ice out there, should make drive to church interesting this morning.
was supposed to have a birthday dinner tonight but brother's wife came down with alligators and everything postponed a week.
I'm going out next two nights also, and then leave to visit friends in DE so have plenty of socializing this week.
Roy, be careful out there, no slips.
37 today, 57 tomorrow, the heat is on.

two years ago on my birthday I was sick as a very sick dog. Having just recovered from severe dehydration due to an ENT
wrongly keeping me on a strong diuretic for over a year, which almost had me fainting in supermarket with BP of 80/45.
Once I got that figured out, then I never felt very good. Cancelled the rv trip to Florida I felt so bad the first night.
Came home and went to primary, she ordered a CT scan of my abdomen and there were two adrenal glands triple their normal
size. No wonder I felt awful, primary hormone gland. And I seem blessed to be one of 200 people known to have both adrenal glands get
cancer at same time, not one. We all have two, sitting on top of kidneys.
Local hospital took one look at me and told me I needed to go to main hospital in Greenville NC. Which I did, and where they used cutting edge
DNA analysis to custom tailor the chemo to my specific cancer. And it sure worked.
Which of course makes me wonder for how long, since my wife's cancer came back after two years.
But I don't wonder much, just focused on getting the most out of life.
That was a very bad time for me. Didn't see friends or family for five straight months due to covid lockdown.
Am thinking of going back through my posts to that time.
Once I got my marbles back I was on the laptop all day long. Curious what I wrote here.
Laying in a hospital bed, dealing with selling my farm which I never saw before it was sold, listening as my family sold
off 99 percent of what I owned, thinking I was going to be institutionalized forever.
A true example of all's well that ends well.
may we all have happy endings.

Don, last week, I just had a devil of a time getting my EGO weedeater open to reload the string. I guess it had been sitting closed too long and not clean enough. I did finally get it to come apart and put on new string. My string was getting too old and dry, I guess, so I used it up fast. Then I left it apart to put new string on later, and I put the string I have in a bucket of water to soak; don't really know if that will help or not, but I recall reading on TBN about others doing that.

I went all the way through school getting report cards that included the comment "Talks too much." I can't imagine why teachers thought that, can you?

15 and snow on the ground...going to 47 and windy, but not as bad as yesterday.
Check, I hope your wife is feeling better and arm healing.
Lou, I know how you feel...I've been bringing in most of ours every night for a few months due to coons.
Don, cool loading system...my Echo loads like that, except I have to manually turn the head to wind it up...using the battery motor makes sense.
Buppies, sounds like a nice trip and meal.
Will review my tax return again today before hitting the send button...nice to get a refund rather than paying.
Then just one more tax return to do, for my MIL. Was hoping to get a response back from the IRS for her so I can file it electronically...they have questioned the return from the year her husband passed away...it was filed correctly, but they sent a letter saying that they received her return but Social Security did not show date of death (not correct). Wrote a response with death certificate, another entire copy of the return, etc. Two months later got a letter from them that said thanks for the info, they were working on it, and sorry it was taking so much time. Then 8 months later got another letter that said they never received her return. So, back to square one. So sent another letter and copy of the whole package. I read last week that the IRS is behind on 20 million items, and is now hiring 5,000 more agents to try to catch up. Hope they do. How do you manage your revenue source but get 20 million items behind? Maybe the country is actually running a surplus and doesn't know it yet?

Good Morning
It’s 18 and sunny after yesterday’s warm rainy start that turned into snow and 45 knot winds. A welcome change, but it’s not going to get above freezing until late this afternoon, and even then, not for long. The camera that looks down my lane is untrusted in ice, I wonder if that will melt in the sun. Not much of a view at the moment.
Most of yesterday was spent cleaning up snow, the winds made it interesting. But if the sun warms the exposed paved surfaces today, the ice should recede. Had a nice lunch with a couple of friends, and watched Kevin Costner in McFarland with my wife after we watched the James Taylor and Carole King concert at the Troubadour from 2007 on PBS.
Today is a BJ’s run, then putter around the shop for a while. All the kids are coming to have a birthday dinner for their mom. It’s 5 days after the fact, but it’s like herding cats to get everyone together.
And speaking of birthdays, have a great one Drew! I’m glad that you beat the reaper and continue to thrive. On the subject of thriving, Emily was prancing around in the snow like a puppy yesterday, and for the first time since her seizure, hopped up on our bed last night.

I don't have much hope for them after I uncovered them yesterday during a sunny 59˚F day and a predicted morning of 33˚F.
The weather predictors are really bad around here.
It's 22˚F.
I can only hope that the temps are only freezing here in the valley, the garden is on top of a hill.

Happy Birthday, Drew!
Another cold one last night (down to 3°F), but going up above freezing for the rest of the week, and 57 in TO by the time we head down there for an appointment.
Thanks again for all the good wishes for Sharon’s broken arm. The surgery went VERY well, and she now has an even longer steel plate in her arm (!). She has no pain, so the recovery will be quite pleasant. Still wants to help out around here, but I am pampering her, and of course doing all of the dog walking.
Her brother arranged delivery of a basket of candies and chocolates and stuff (like fraktal) to be delivered all the way from Huntsville, some 40 minutes away, arriving at 7:30 at night. The lady who delivered it arrived in a silver Toyota 4Runner Limited, the exact same vehicle that Sharon has! (She got a big kick out of that.)
Anyway, time for coffee, and the dog needs his morning pee. (Will walk him a bit later.)
Every one have a nice day, and let’s all pray for the people of Ukraine!

Good Morning!!!! 50F @ 6:00AM. Partly cloudy. High 66F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph.
No rain overnight, but there's another chance Monday night.
You can weld 4140, Kyle, but if it cools too quickly it'll form a brittle microstructure in the head affected zone. I'd check the Lincoln Electric or Miller websites for recommendations on preheat and post weld heat treatments. ER7018 rod will work, as will E70S wire. Just make sure that the 7018 comes out of a fresh, dry, package, or cook the moisture out as per manufacturer's recommendations.
Need to spray weeds and change the transmission oil in the tractor, but the wind doesn't look like it'll cooperate today. Was hoping to torch the burn pile Friday or Saturday, but again the wind blew too hard. March came in like a lamb, but it's making up for lost time now.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!
