I took the street address off my CraigsList posting just to be safer. Thanks for input.

22°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 41° today. Going to be pleasant here most of the week, with some manner of as-yet-undetermined wintry stuff by the end of the week.

We got a lot less rain Saturday than I thought we might, judging by the radar. The storm ended up breaking up around us into smaller patchy storms. Temps did get up near 60° in the afternoon, affording me an opportunity to get into the garage and get some clearcoating on my guitar body. That turned out pretty well. I'll do some work on the neck while the body finish fully cures over the next couple of weeks.

The winds arrived sometime late Saturday evening, and woke us several times early Sunday morning. They persisted yesterday until sometime around 8pm. No serious damage at our place, but the screen door going into the garage popped open and wedged itself into some landscaping rock. Didn't look like any serious damage to it when I closed it. Other friends in Missouri were reporting power outages and tree damage. Glad we avoided that.

I put out a live trap for our uninvited barn guest. Couldn't find the old trap, so I had to run to Rural King Saturday evening just before they closed to get a new one. The wind blew the trap shut Saturday night, and The Wife didn't report a skunk in it this morning either. He's really stinking up the barn lately. He's gotta go.

Sorry to read about your cousin, farmer.

Eric, I feel your pain regarding the ridiculous attempts at finding metric/imperial equivalents. I go through that here at work entirely too often. One guy here simply refuses to use metric, and always asks me for the equivalent in inches. The last time we had that conversation, I told him any equivalent was irrelevant, as the customer was going to measure it in millimeters, so we are, too. He got mad and stormed out of the tool room. I'll never understand that bullheadedness, especially when metric's base 10 is so much easier. Besides, digital calipers have that nifty little button that changes the display from inches to millimeters, so it's not even like you have to relearn math.

I shaved my beard down to stubble yesterday, too, Drew. The goatee had gotten about 2-1/2" (63.5mm) long, and was starting to aggravate me while sleeping. Always feels weird when it's first gone.

Sorry to read about your local shootings, Buppies. Coming from a fairly quiet area during my formative years, I'm still not used to all the violence around me every day. The area where I work has shootings literally every day. Someone was killed in an apartment building about a block away last week. The really sad - and maddening - part to me is how some segments of society have come to accept this as normal everyday life. I cannot imagine living like that.

Thanks for the awesome sledding pics, Lynn. It's been awhile.

Never tried The Macallan, RNG. I recall reading about it in Neil Peart's book Ghost Rider. He apparently drank quite a bit of it during the extensive ride he documented in that book.

new helper no showed me this morning.
Called him half hour later, oh I had to take my son to get an allergy shot, I'm there now.
No apology, no comprehension. Clearly didn't want the job very much.
I told him good luck and goodbye.
Discouraging and wait until he hears about it from the lady who referred him to me.

did half the rototilling, had to come in for break. Very hard on my arms.
Will finish it in a little bit, weaving in and out of tall metal T posts, which I will then
attach webbing to and grow lots of peppers and tomatoes. And maybe a few snow peas.

nice day here but really windy at times.

The frost struggled to make much of an impression on my weather bucket this morning, since then it has been sunshine all the way, with radio warning fair skinned people to apply sunscreen.

Not quite working to the sunny day project list though, no time since having received temporary promotion to chief dog walker, chef and clothes-hang-out-to-dry-person, with other changes in job description to follow shortly. My wife slipped in the kitchen last night and on the way down hit her arm against the kitchen island. It was still hurting this morning so I took her down to the community hospital. X-Rays show a hairline fracture, with appointment at county hospital for tomorrow. Wish her luck - she will need it with my cooking to contend with !

63°F and .12 inches rain.

Have dental cleanings this afternoon but also beginnings of sore throat, so maybe cancel.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

RonJH- Thanks for the frisbee video.:cool: I would have majored in frisbee if it was offered. My first dog, a PSU college dog, could have been a canine contender in any frisbee Toss & Catch competition. He was a neurotic retriever of anything retrievable. :rolleyes:

Paul- Good luck with the skunk capture. There is a still active TBN thread regarding animal bites and rabies. Take care. Those shots are expensive (BTDT:().

Drew- Sorry to read about the "no show.":(. Take care.

RNG- Thanks for sharing your weather information. Actually thanks to everyone for all the weather information shared here.:cool::D

Eric- Terrible news to read about your Wife.:eek::( I wish her a speedy recovery. Good luck with the "other duties as required" in your newly revised job description.

The world is an interesting place; even with the jerks.

Eric, best wishes for speedy recovery for your wife, and hope you won't starve until then.
