Good morning!!!!

Roy, hope today goes easily and special get well prayers for your wife.

Farmer, yeah I saw that ridiculous gigundo thing he bought but I have to tell you, that big guy
in that big tractor must have had the biggest grin on his face. Wait til he has to buy new tires for that thing...

Shaved off my beard this morning, all that white hair in the sink. Warm enough outside I don't need the fleece any more...
Makes me look a lot younger, now if only it made me feel younger... ;)

My Father had an old banjo he kept in the closet, probably went all the way back to college, and when he was well lubricated,
he would bring out that banjo and play it. Terribly. But he had the desire. I've always been fascinated with lathes, but never had the desire
to learn. Am happy to be an observer. Or listener. Are we born with predispositions or sensitivities? I think so and I think that's what Randy is saying, there was an innate talent and desire there. Three brothers in my family are all alike, sister totally different, an Art PHD and tuned into totally different things. One brother played the trombone. Horribly. Scared the dog. I was always a star in mechanical drawing and a dunce in Art or Music. Always thought that was how we were "wired".

But with desire, anything is possible. Or hopefully close enough to get satisfaction.

off to the food bank with chocolate walnut brownies I made them. I put a big bar of Belgian dark chocolate in the mix and it comes
out pretty gummy, just the way they seem to like it. Chocolate is not a biggie for me. I put the leftover ends in a tupperware in the freezer, and gnaw on one when I need some energy.

Hope things go well with your wife Roy.

Good morning. 18 now which is warmer than predicted. Maybe 34 later. Going into Wednesday is going to be a mess. Snow first, then freezing rain, then just rain. Temp. Is supposed to get about 45. Should be fun.

I do think most people can learn to do most anything if they put effort into it. They may never be proficient or even be particularly good, but they can learn. But I also believe that some people have a certain talent that makes them exceptional at some pursuits. They just seem to have a particular natural affinity that can稚 be taught.

Well, time for cup of coffee #2 and get my head into the day. Also need to figure out how we are getting bikes and people to Daytona for the races. Seems the motorhome/toyhauler is wounded. I may end up driving.....

Everyone have a safe and good day.

Need to pour first cup of coffee. -3° with a bright white moon this morning. Heading to 29° with plenty of sun. It will take awhile for things to warm up today. Going to stay in and get started on taxes that I have been putting off all month.

One of my small talents is the ability to install or remove a screw (and other items) without having to see it. This may seem small. But I have watched the contortion that some people go through to put a screw in place. All because of the need to see hole it is going into. :shocked:

Eric, as Looking stated. Much easier to pull line without gloves. There was a good set of warm heated gloves close by. No need to hold line waiting for fish to bite. The yellow/black disk in picture trips up when a fish bites.

Prayers for all.

Good Morning All.

Good morning all. 22F right now heading for 40F with sun. Snow tomorrow changing to rain much later in the day.

Prayers sent to Mrs. Roy.

Good morning! 40 ˚F good chance of rain most of the day.
Yes Randy, natural ability or talent must be factored into the equation also. One's persistence or drive or necessity is another factor. This equation is just getting longer.

Prayers for your wife and the surgeons Roy.

Good Morning!!!!

39F @ 6:15AM. Sunny to partly cloudy. High near 50F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.

Part of maturing is knowing what your good enough at, and knowing when to call in a pro. i can throw rocks and mortar together and build a fire ring, but I wouldn't want to try to build a shop out of block. I can hum a few bars of a favorite song, but I'll turn on the stereo and stream some music when guests come over. Harry C. said "A man has got to know is limitations", and it's as true today as it ever was. That's not to say you shouldn't try to improve at all things, and even learn new ones, though. It's probably better to call a doctor when you're sick, though.:laughing:

Big full moon out this morning when I went to dump woodstove ashes. Mr gray fox was out hunting for breakfast when I opened the door...

The surveyors should be here this morning to get started. Be interesting to see what kind of equipment they bring with them.

Looks like the low will be -5° this morning. Yesterday was mostly sunny with a high in the low 20's. Today will be a mix of sun and clouds with a high in the teens and the wind 10-20 mph. The forecast show a chance of snow Thursday and again this weekend.

Didn't do much yesterday, went for a ride with a neighbor in his tracked side by side. It still surprises me how well it dose in the deep snow.
Don't have any plans for today.

Roy ... Wishing your wife the best.

Hope everyone has a nice day.
CWB.

A productive morning
View attachment 592268

14 more rafters to hang, but hard part is done. Tomorrow’s another day

Mostly lurking, but watching your continued progress. My hat is off to you. Salute!

Interesting... I've wanted to play the Harpsichord my entire life. Maybe 60 isn't too late... Thanks.

Go for it. Just do it with the headphones or in the closet until proficient. :)

-6 right now...high will be in the low 20's.

Wife's going in for a heart valve replacement today. I'll be at the hospital all day, along with my step-daughter.

Prayers Roy.


CWB, I've always wondered how a tracked side x side would do in deep snow? Will it go through some powder? Or just packed powder? Sounds cold, like ice fishing..... I did sit in one of the new Deere cabbed 835's and it was nice, but pricey$$$

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!

Roy-My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers for your Wife, step-daughter, and you.

2ºF was today's low; 18ºF now, and low 20ºF's anticipated later. Not much planned now that the wood stove has been fed for today.

The bird counts are over. Every year is different. I need to check past counts, but my gut sense is that I had fewer species numbers and lower specie counts this year possibly excepting Morning Doves. Weather might have been a factor this year as well.

A sloppy wintry mix of snow changing over to sleet and freezing rain tomorrow evening into Thursday. I anticipate another slightly wetter storm next week.

I hope that everyone is having a decent day.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.
