Good morning!!!!

Good Afternoon Everyone!!!!!

My eye exam today revealed little real change and no evidence of any diabetes related eye problems. I do need to skew my head and/or glasses around due to the progressive "grind" of the lenses.

Our 10 year old washing machine was removed and the new unit installed w/o incident while I was gone.


Andrew- A decent bedframe repair. I wish there was a way to tap into all that energy. I would bet that you too had some å…Žnergy at that age. :wink:

Eric- Thanks for sharing your picture and verse . This predawn time is my favorite. Your description is awesome.

Ron- Good luck with your doctors visits this week.

Ed- I am happy to read that you finally got some decent, restful sleep.

Hawkeye- I am happy to read that your back is starting to mend. Good luck with the family and the Holidays. Holidays can be stressful. Admissions were highest during the Holiday Season at the psych hospital where I worked.

Buppies- Congratulations on the job completed and the new job just begun. Be careful with your arm.

The weather models surprisingly have been fairly consistent with similar outcomes for this weekend. After this mid-December cold period I believe that we will be "warmer" for the remainder of the year; in theory, it is an El Nino year so it should be.

Thomas- Like you some of the warmest temperatures here today happened just past midnight and right now at 30F.

Drew- A nice looking greenhouse. I hope that it can handle your weather. I see all kinds of "bad" design in residential and in rare cases commercial greenhouses around here. In NE it is UV degradation, wind, and snow load as the reason for structural failure. Have fun giving your tractor some "character"

Randy- Sage advice. Chocolate stains are difficult to remove. My late German Shepard would consider those napping moments as a perfect opportunity for a æ“¢rench Kiss?eek:

I hope that everyone is having a decent day.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

fun afternoon tilling the fields. Super comfortable ride, quiet, stereo was better than expected, listened to Christmas carols, had
a very good time.

^^^^^^^^ Drew- Thanks for sharing. Nice visibility . I am glad that your 4707 seems solid, I hope it exceeds your expectations. I hope ou have many hassle free hours.


It appears to be beautiful day down in NC; here too but it is Winter

I'll be firing up the wood stove tomorrow.

37 today. Snow, sleet and rain combos. Currently between bands. No accumulation forecast. But did have about a mile of road turn white on me on way in.

Took care of birds this morning then picked up oldest son from school and took him to start a new therapy today. ABA therapy. 45 minutes away. Very intensive program plan. Right now we are at 3 hour sessions and 3 days a week. Goal is to build him to 20 hours a week. I need a clone. Did run some errands and get lunch. While leaving from lunch I noticed a new building going up. I’ll let y’all guess from the picture. Signage was in bad shape. Old used car lot.

replace with base mix and toppping

I think Toppop must have helped you and left an extra P!
Buppies, do you offer road toppings with extra sprinkles? Road jimmies?
The man is an artist, only one to offer paving in chocolate or vanilla.
Chocolate road with vanilla line markings.
Maybe the botts dots are the jimmies :thumbsup:

What kind of poppy seeds were those?? Lol

What kind of poppy seeds were those?? Lol

my creative genius is constantly being questioned here
I'm about to do a Rodney Dangerfield...
or break out into an excruciating poem.

actually I wondered later if all folks knew what jimmies were.
Might be another regional thing, I've picked up some odd expressions
along the way.

For years I would go see the gingerbread house exhibition at Peddler's Village in Lahaska PA, where dozens of folks competed for prestigious ribbons and a little newspaper/tv coverage. I always wondered if any of it was actually edible, other than breaking a tooth on it, but it probably had
to be. Though clearly not good for you.

And then in my first job out of college I was training for a food service company at a college in Vermont working under a director who was also
a fancy baker. As in big wedding cakes, unusual shapes, maybe even edible dioramas.
So in my experience it's not too much of a stretch for Buppies to be paving in chocolate and vanilla.
He can just be doing it in his kitchen that's all.

In cleaning out the incredible mess in the garden shed, I found a little plastic bucket with a nice Goodnoe's Dairy Bar
on the side. I sure kept that, memory of my childhood. Except this time I think it was my late wife's and stuck in the gardening pots.
I still have pots out the wazoo. Or the ying yang. I bet there's some more varieties of that...
All of that stuff is getting loaded tomorrow afternoon onto my truck and getting hauled off
to local Master Gardener storage place for their annual sale in the Spring.
So far none have offered to help...hmmmm.

I have some presents to wrap tonight since I'm leaving on Sunday. I always lose the to-from cards.
