Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

29 going to 61. Another fine day.

Thank you for the anniversary wishes.

Cute puppy, PopG. So much fun.

I made pour-overs of 5 different coffees yesterday for family members...kept me busy for a while. I still have plenty left to send home when they leave. Youngest son brought his game system to plug into our TV, so played some fun games. Watched our football team get beat by our rivals in double overtime.

Used the zero to make one last run on mulching leaves, then took off my homemade mulching cover. It took a full half hour of blowing compressed air to clean off every nook and cranny of the mower and deck. Ran out of time to change the oil, but may get that today, depending on final family plans. Definitely getting a hike in to burn off the big meals.

Drew, I have a chair and 2 hand grips in shower. Grips are bolted into the wall. Both tubs have hand grips. But I do not use them anymore. Too hard to get in and out of even with grips. So easy to slip.
Good friend was using one the Tub/Shower chairs. It collapsed under him. Some serious injuries. Make sure the one you are using is rated for your weight and in good condition.

Good morning all, 35 going to 57. Rain coming our way tomorrow. Deer hunting season starting tomorrow so our neighbor with the deer feeder is likely looking to get the deers to move out of our forest area to his blind.
Coffee is good this morning.
Will have to go back to the lab again to have more blood drawn. They called that apparently they screwed it up yesterday.
Will make a stop at HD for a few things
Drew, falls in showers is something to avoid for sure. Built a downstairs shower for wife that is set up for handicap access and has handles and chair for her
Popg, that puppy will be lots of fun.

Paul, your new dog is a cutie, expect to see a pic of him in your tractor or plane soon!

She will get a plane ride home from Wilmington, NC, but that might likely be the last one, as I pretty much never travel for myself.

32° and sun coming out.
Deer season starts today. Lots of banging going on out there already.
My oldest will leave today. He’s got old game consoles here so he doesn’t have to bring one. I don’t care for most of the games, a couple he used to play are ok. One was a western game.

Thought about going to the lot, but just don’t feel like it. I wanted to get better stakes in ground to mark septic area, since surveyor was supposed to reset them. I haven’t been there since I settled and had the incident with the neighbor lady.

Finally starting to get my smell back, I can finally smell vicks again.

32F windy low 40's for high clear sky late afternoon.
Wind did howl over night 30+ mph constantly now 15 mph,pretty sure I'll have to do walk about picking up limbs branches.
Plans for today...2 stops in town for critter food diesel,watch some 2 Ohio vs 3 Michigan,just before sunset light up 2 brush piles towards end of the burn cooks sausages and hotdogs that's if wind clams down,other than that putter day.

Enjoy your day all.

32 outside this AM, heading to 60.

Worked on removing the acrylic/concrete sidewalk patch from the electrical run to the milk house. That crap never got set up and one of the cats decided to dance through it. Guess I will go back to a quick set mortar mix. Have had better luck with that stuff, bonding, color wise and set up.

Managed to get in another hike with the wife yesterday. Today again I hope, this time to the back forty for wood. LOL. Been on the agenda for days now.

Need to get the pressure washer out for the lawn mowers. Clean up and put away. I noticed I lost another Kubota decal on my tractor. My ZTR has no decals left. What is it with Kubota decals? It's not like I wash my equipment once a week, and certainly don't blast them. I think I complained about this in the past, but whatever virus my ZTR had, now the tractor gets. LOL.

Hope all have a great weekend, Be safe.

Good Morning
It’s 36 and going to 46 today under cloudless skies.

Yesterday was gray and damp until late afternoon. Had a good breakfast with the professor, got the wife all setup at the holiday market, the HF work light worked great on the poles I made, but I was actually able to attach it with Velcro to a steel rod collar tie in the structure making it even easier.

In my countertop project, I found boxes of old boxes squirreled away, I cut them all up and got them out in the recycling which along with the trash was delayed a day due to Thanksgiving. They were pretty heavy toters by the time they made it to the street.

Daughter spent the whole day here, we watched the new Maverick Top Gun movie, she had it on her streaming service.

New Tempest came, for some reason the software wouldn’t let me replace it, which was aggravating, so I just deleted the old station and installed the new one, losing the historical data rather than continue being annoyed. But it’s online now and reporting correct data.

Today I’ve got to go to Hyannis to pick up the people I dropped off in Nantucket before Thanksgiving. The president is still on Nantucket, complicating the airspace, it was easier for them to take the ferry to Hyannis than to jump through the hoops (and a lot cheaper). Not much else planned, still waiting for my countertop, but I’m all ready for it.

Good morning! 47, dark , light rain,
It’s Tractor time, Ho! Ho! Ho!

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, low temp 33 and going to a high of 46°F. Wind SW 16 mph. Clearing/sunny.

Today is going to be an 'easy' day for me. Not sure what I will get up to but it wont be much.

Have a safe day all

Bird, I shave one time a week. Whether I need it or not. If I go out I will shave more often.

I shave one time a year. Whether I need it or not. St Patrick's day.

 

[Bird]

It's raining this morning; supposed to be a rainy day all day but maybe no more than a half inch total. And to answer some questions . . . no pictures of me with a beard as far as I know. I thought I looked so bad that I hated to go out in public, but at least no one said anything to me about my looks.

Now I understand that weather forecasting is not an exact science, but sometimes it's not even close. Our forecast for today, as I mentioned above still shows on the NWS site to be a quarter to a half inch. Well, my gauge has now passed the 1.1" mark and it's it still raining. But of course we're glad to see it giving us some much needed rain.

Shaving is over-rated. I've had a beard and that is not my preference either.
I wear a goatee no sideburns and trim the rest of my face with a electric shaver when I go out.
40-70º here today. Company is gone. That was fun but looking forward to getting back to my routines.

ronjhall said, "Drew, I have a chair and 2 hand grips in shower. Grips are bolted into the wall."

And I had that done this year in one of our showers for my wife. I still use the other smaller shower myself. I haven't yet tried sitting on that chair in the shower myself.

Quoting @buckeyefarmer “Finally starting to get my smell back, I can finally smell vicks again.”

Be happy it is returning. 2 years in from having @0v!d, I still have very little sense of smell. There are some things I can usually smell faintly, odd days when I smell a number of things ok, and days like today when there is nothing.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Rick, that’s strange how it messes things up.

Feeling a little better this morning, but feel weak. All this talk about showers, I need to check mine out.
If I don’t shave every day, I need a weed eater.

Morning, 48 going up to 55.
Got a few more panels up after drilling out the nails for two boxes. Dremel with cutter head worked.

Delivery of the 13 panels was a bust, almost every panel was badly damaged.
HD called me this morning and told me most of the rest at that store up on the shelves were just as bad.
So Monday I am supposed to finally get the last of the panels, maybe........

Mostly-they have both steam and diesel running at alternate times during the season.

I shave at least once a week and have a beard now, probably come off in a few weeks.

Off to the garage to get some more panels up.

Good morning to all! Low of 29°, already up to 36°, on the way to somew in the upper 40's. Only got around a half inch of snow. The system just went by us too fast.... slowed down in southern NM and Texas, dropping the precip there.

Wng, HAPPY BELATED ANNIVERSARY! Hope you and the wifey have many more!

T-day was a nice laid back day. Enjoyed the dinner with the son, and 3 grandsons. Wifey was in a sea of testosterone..... She was able to handle the situation and keep all of us in check! The meal was prepared exquisitely!

Enjoyed a left over meal last night.... just as good!

Spent yesterday still digesting..... stayed inside and just relaxed. We didn't want to fight the black Friday crowds to go pick up wifey's glasses. That's on the agenda today, so Costco first, plus a stop at Home Depot and Hobby Lobby. No major shopping spree planned....

Everyone have a great day!

 

[daugen]

there was a lot of yellow over Middle and East Texas on radar this morning, looks like you are sending a nice storm our way.
First it dips down into the Gulf like a giant flying water tanker and then brings all the moisture North to dump on our heads.
We don't need more rain, ground is still damp but looks like Sunday afternoon and night that storm will get here.
That's when I intend to put up the Christmas tree. Today need to get outdoor stuff done.
And the temps are finally warm enough.

got the birds fed and leaves blown.
unpacked and clothes in washer.
making progress
a few miles to go before I sleep
good miles

All this talk about shaving..... when I was a younger pup, I always had a beard. My first paramedic job back east didn't care about facial hair. Then out here, they had very specific regulations about shaving and hair lengths. I shaved every day..... until I got hurt.... now I'm just like Scaredy --- goatee and electric shaver used on Saturday night.... otherwise the scruffy look is in effect all week.....
