Good morning!!!!

[CWB Wyo]

It's 16° this morning with about a inch dusting of snow. Yesterday was in the low 40's and partly cloudy with a cold wind. Today is going to be in the low 30's with some clouds and less wind.

End up yesterday helping a couple of neighbors take a 12 ft truck box off of a F-550. Good thing they both had skid steers. One bought the used truck but didn't want the box. He gave the box to the other neighbor for doing most of the work of taking it off. Made for a interesting afternoon.

Not sure what the plans are for today.

RNG. I'm hoping to hear good news from you today.

CWB.

Good morning to all! Low of 45, going up to 54 around noon, then a front coming in bringing a sudden drop in temps to the 30's and snow predicted by this evening. High tomorrow is predicted to be 28....hello winter!

I'm anxiously awaiting to hear from RNG. Prayers sent his way.

Ron, I wish you well, hope the healing continues and you get well soon!

Buppies, same thoughts and wishes!

Drew, I'm not used to hearing about you "taking it easy". I bet for the short time that you stay sedentary, you will enjoy the time

Ed, stay warm...nice that you have backup heat. Thanks for the prayers.

Yesterday was 'errand day' .... Got a lot of them accomplished. Had to make 2 round trips into town, (about 4 hours of driving), but had my co-pilot of 35 years accompanying me. Had some great conversations during the time...no phone calls, no interruptions...nice to be able to just talk.

Tomorrow I go back for a follow up at the ortho doc....pretty sure he's going to recommend doing surgery again...knee just won't get any better.

To all the veterans out there: THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

Everyone have a great day! Prayers for all sent .

Eric, yes, passivation is good, but not sure how it will hold up to heat if it actually gets too hot....Hopefully the charcoal fire won't ruin it. Hope your grandson learns the meaning of the ceremony he is helping with. It says Peter Jackson's film will air today, I hope I get to see it soon.

Thanks and prayers to the veterans of the "good guy" countries.

Said it before, but one of my favorite WWI movies (even though it was low budget) was The Lost Battalion with Ricky Schroder.

48F and cloudy here, rain later. We are plenty wet. I wish all of this rain could go to California.

RNG, my neighbor's place is still for sale. Pray your place is OK, and for the rest of the folks in front of these horrible fires. Weathermen are saying even greater winds today. Please get out of the way with your lives.

Good Morning!!!! 44F @6:45AM here in Chico. Some clouds this morning will give way to generally sunny skies for the afternoon. High 71F. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph.

Thanks to all the veterans out there for making our way of life possible in this country. They've made a lot of sacrifices, and it's only fitting to recognize their contributions not just today, but every day.

Hope all those aches and pains get up and go soon! Ted, probably time for a second opinion, maybe from one of those sports doctors that treat million dollar football players.

A neighbor that didn't evacuate visited the property yesterday and called to let me know everything is OK with the vehicles and house. I lost a wood pile and some shrubbery, and they made off with gasoline and propane tanks I had set out away from the house, but everything else is just fine, I feel very lucky at this point, and should be able to pretty much pick up where I left off once the evac orders are lifted. That's a HUGE relief, and now begins the wait for the roads to open again.

Those same neighbors have asked for help retrieving a car the husband left at a local school on his journey home Friday. He parked it at a roadblock, started walking up the highway, and a CalFire crew gave him a ride the rest of the way. But if they come back out, they won't be let in again. Going to be tricky getting it towed commercially, and since it's locked and I can't get a key because the owners are still beyond the evacuation road blocks. I don't want to get arrested, either.:laughing: I'm hoping my bodyshop neighbor will have some ideas. I learned Friday that he'd lost his house, so he and his wife are starting with a clean slate at this point. They have a small room to live in where he works (and my BMWs are stored), so I'm trying to help him when I can as well. Lots of people working together here now.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend.

Prayers for Randy, RNG and the rest of you guys. 27 this morning, 42 now. Picked up the grocery order and sent Ellen to church without me today. Going with Ellen’s dad on a carriage drive today, hope I remember my gloves. There are about 15 units of different styles and vintage going, not my cup of tea but I figured why not. Looked at a Simplicity tractor yesterday, front end loader and three point hitch, rear only lifts about 400# but that will do me fine. I’m trying to get about a thousand dollars more off the deal, might not happen.
Have a good day all, God bless.

Can you both go to the road block, tie the key to a rock and toss it back? Or do an off road excursion around and meet up?

Great news RNG!
