Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Drinking first cup of coffee. 24° with wind and streaks of lake effect snow this morning. Heading to 26° with continued wind and snow. Take wife to another Dr appointment this morning. Back to shop in afternoon to continue projects that may take rest of winter to complete.

Police report for fatal accident stated. 29 yr old female was driving to fast on slushy roads. Got out of tire tracks from previous drivers and lost control. Please slow down when conditions are not best for driving.

Thomas, a day off. Enjoy. :thumbsup:

Check, prayers and wishes for a fast recovery.

Don, I have a 1970's Snapper lawn mower that I will donate. Will have sharpened blade, oil change and fresh gas. Has never used grass catcher. When will you be picking it up.

Drew, qualified help is hard to come by in just about any field. Hope they get it done right this time.

RNG, get some sleep.

Good Morning All.

Mild, dry weather for us all day yesterday and coming up again today and tomorrow. That weather is not as interesting as what some of you are experiencing, but for me boring winter is the best.

Our tv showed people snowboarding down the streets in Seattle, where they said deep snow is quite rare. If it's too cold for rain, does that make it Sleetless in Seattle ?


Sometime this spring I have a long section of boundary fence to replace, where it runs parallel to a public brideway. A public footpath crosses the fence line, with a wooden style to let people climb over the wire. The style is starting to rot, so I was thinking of replacing it at the same time. I had heard that the county council are encouraging landowners to use galvanised steel kissing gates instead and would a make a contribution towards them (they cost over ｣400). Just rang them and got through to a nice young man who says he will bring me one - for free, as long as I put it in :dance1:

Kissing Gates.:confused2:
Not what I expected. :laughing:

Maybe Drew could use one to get into his garden

Don, thanks for the Valentine reminder, I have my reservation at a local Italian place she likes.

Drew, I was in business for 37+ years, the last 20 good help was near impossible.

39-45 today, I hope the rain is over, property is a giant sponge, creek is out of the woods into my main back meadow. I would call it a pasture but I’m not grazing anything back there.

Prayers for you folks.

not if it comes with that pig. It is a pig?
too low for deer...
what do they call the round things you enter a building through that revolve like turnstiles?
Glass with the rubber wiper edges that go whump whump whump
As a kid going to the big city, Philadelphia, I knew I was someplace pretty cool when I went in one of those.
Got yelled at for going around and around in it...

update: revolving doors, duh.

First turnstile and first escalator both got me in trouble as a youngster

Me too. I have memories of an escalator that ate my shoe string one time. I think my mom was surprised a four year old could scream that loud!:shocked:

Good Morning!!!! 43F @ 5:15AM. Rain likely, heavy at times in the morning. High 48F. Winds ESE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 100%. 2 to 3 inches of rain expected. Locally heavier rainfall possible.


Still too much noise to sleep, and it's even louder now. That yellow/orange blob on the radar map has reached here, and the wind is blowing harder to keep up with the deluge. Gonna be a soggy walk around the property with the solar power expert, who's supposed to show up here at 10AM. Hope he brings his rain gear!

When I got up to the gate yesterday morning, instead of just swapping out the antenna, I ended up spending more time on the phone with Mighty Mule. The gate was dead to the world, and had blown a fuse. And as soon as I replaced the fuse, it blew again. At first I thought it was because I hadn't readjusted the mounting bracket and the motor was straining too much at the end of the closing stroke, but it turned out that one of the wires from the vehicle detection loop was shorting to ground. The Mighty Mule rep led me through a set of diagnosis steps to find it, for which I was grateful. He also avoided having to send yet another gate arm out. Everything seemed to be in order when I finished up; fingers crossed it stays that way this time.

Happy Hump Day, folks!
