Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

this is for Plowhog
Truckee socked with a lot of snow
sure do need the right tires and chains
those road signs look awfully familiar

 

[riptides]

Putting squirrel in cage means I need to find someone to do feeder cleanup.

Squirrels are a fine meal.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.1C and it's presently 19.5C, mostly overcast with sporadic rain & somewhat calm. There was 13.5mm in the gauge @ 0900.

Yesterday's rain meant doing a couple of alternative tasks. Mainly into town to send off the 'driver medical' at the TasServices office and then over to the PO to mail some wool socks to my Sister and my Aunt who live in Canada. Just some surprise presents for them.

I'll see how the weather holds up this arvo as to continuing any wood stacking out at the woodshed. It depends on just how 'wet' the wood got with the 13.5mm of rain.

Mind you, Sunday is predicted to be very wet.

That's about it, take care all.

RNG, it all hinged on whether or not they would accept my 2 foot driving. I explained to the girl that with a manual transmission I used the right foot for the throttle and brake and the left foot for the clutch, but with an automatic I used the left foot on the brake. Due to the fact that most of the older cars I had driven would barely run in gear if you had your right foot on the brake. So I would hold the brakes and give them a few revs with my right foot.
She said that as long as I wasn't pressing both the gas and brake at the same time that it was okay. They only took me on a one hour tour, unlike my friend who they took on a three hour tour. None of the tour was right downtown Barrie, which can be a bear at the best of times. I didn't tell them that I used to live about 20 miles west of Barrie near RCAF Base Borden. They didn't need to know that I knew Barrie almost as good as they did. In fact I played dumb in that respect and made it sound like they had gotten me lost.
It will take about 2 weeks for their report to get to me and an additional 2 weeks for the MTO to make a decision based on their recommendation that I was okay to drive and the stroke had zero effect on my driving abilities.
My sick benefits ran out this week. Tuesdays check ($1242.oo/2weeks) will be the last one unless I can get the quack to sign off that I am fit enough to go to work. IF he does then I will go on regular benefits until probably May. I didn't take the money because I needed it, I took it because I paid into it and hadn't collected any unemployment benefits in 4 years.
I can live on the 2 goobermint pensions, Canada Pension Plan & Old Age Security. (CPP & OAS) plus the RRSP which was converted into a RLIF (Registered Life Income Fund). I also rely on my income tax rebate to pay ahead the winter heat, both wood AND oil. I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination, but I can keep the wolf away from the door and now with no car payment, that will be a little easier.

Good Evening Ron,

Ron, I was kind of thinking of putting the squirrel in a cage with a wheel and some treats out of reach. You might get some electricity generated ! Of course that’s not helping the leaf situation !

If you used the squirrel power to run a electric vacuum cleaner with the hoses on backwards, then it could blow the leaves away.

Squirrels are a fine meal.

But it takes soooo many of them to make a meal. Their legs are oh so tiny. Kinda like eating chipmunks.

Coffee is done brewing. 43° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 51° with cloudy skies. Maybe a view of Full Moon Sunday Evening. Got wiper blades installed on car. Spent the day puttering in shop and barns. Some cleanup done in shop. That is a never ending chore. Will make good chore to get done during the winter. Leaf cleanup around garden pond today. No other plans.

Mostly, Its hunting season. Turkeys are staying in their best hiding place. Sandhill Cranes have been only showing up 1 time a week. I can hear them at neighbors place. They must be putting out better food than me.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

 

[daugen]

good Saturday morning all
44 going to 62 in sunshine today
headed out early heading West in PA to see train museum in Strasburg, which is this side of Lancaster.
and then continue on 30 until I drop down into VA on 15 for quite a ways heading to Middleburg.

haven't heard from Ted, hope he is doing ok. I wonder if all his snow has melted.

Buppies you had a long week. Hope you got to sleep well last night.

 

[Thomas]

Enjoy your day all.

good morning, 48 going to 57 cloudy conditions

Worked a little on the van. Figured out the fuel leak is from some buried deep fuel hoses. The little flip out light worked great to stick into the cavities. Changed the transmission oil, air filter and cabin filter while I was at it. Need to decide if I want to tackle the fuel hose replacements.
The dog ear hose clamps is used all over. Ned to look into tools for those

Going down the get the truck tires mounted this morning.

Decided to turn the old 261C chainsaw into dealer for repair. Ignition checks out ok on their computer. He said he spent 2 hours on finding out what is wrong with it. At least I feel better that I was not able to figure it out

 

[scott_vt]

Good Morning,
Punta Cana, 75 to start going to 84, nice and sunny now , hopefully it will stay that way ! We leave here on Wednesday, so hoping for good weather until then ! In all the years we have been coming here this has been the rainiest weather we have ever had !

Thomas, sorry to hear about that poacher ! Drive by shooters in a truck, that’s not hunting ! Very sad !

Hope all have a good day !

 

[riptides]

53 outside this AM, may make it into the mid 60's.

Yesterday was a blur, maybe an energy conservation day? - mentally. LOL.

Need to start rounding up firewood today, tomorrow is a road trip to daughters, Not complaining though, we get to remove some furniture from our house.

Today, some dump runs and, I think our refrigerator finally shows up. I think we have been without for three months in the farm house. Had to make a trek to the other house for raiding and midnight snacks. LOL. Was using a dorm type fridge, good for what, I cannot explain. It will be returned to another building for keeping drinks cold in the summer. All twelve of them. LOL. Who knew a simple white fridge/freezer on bottom was so popular?

Had a vigil for the neighbor last evening. A young adult reported one of the perpetrators. He was the neighbor and noticed the front-end damage. He gets a reward. The accident is still being broadcast on our local news, since they are looking for aa second person involved. A good turnout from the community. Respect.

Hope all have a good weekend, be safe.

 

[wngsprd]

Up in a tree for opening day. Pleasant weather. I don't hunt much any more but opening day is always special.

My tree stand sits above a horseshoe bend of a small creek.Already had 2 deer walking the creek under me, and a raccoon before light, that I could see with moonlight.

This county is shotgun only, and dogs are often used. Heard both so far. Sunrise is tickling the tops of the trees and I hear a train coming from far off. Otherwise, peaceful.

Saw that on DC news this morning. Apparently he had prior DUI conviction and did not use the ignition interlock as required. Very sad.

 

[Buppies]

45 this morning high in 50s maybe work on grass leaf blowing out hip from fall hurts too bad. Oil needs changed in truck not sure what else.

Viewing for Tyrin Monday funeral Tuesday

Prayers for all our Country

 

[Buppies]

The man who hit my truck a year ago being sentenced this week DA wanted to know how much money I wanted. I said nothing just get the man the help he needs

Good morning! 49˚F, S wind, partly cloudy heading to the upper 70s.

First night drive with Toyota had me searching the internet on why the center display would not go on dark mode after turning on the automatic dark mode. Found a post and fixed the problem, the dash lights adjustment wheel (below the steering wheel) was turned all the way on bright, turning it out of bright mode allowed the automatic dark mode to work and have a non-blinding light screen.

Mostly, I hope the adventure farm gets enough prepaid admissions to run two tractors and open up the schedule for more workers. The time between the Fall Festival and Christmas is slow and they were hoping the dinosaur exhibit would spark interest. No rain is predicted today so they might get crowded this afternoon but tomorrow there is a 50% chance of rain. I told them I would work on Saturdays when they get busy but use the kids that want/need to work should be scheduled first. I'm OK with just being a spare.

Did not get the cypress trees planted because of a water leak in the common area behind the house. I reported it and marked it, it looks like they ran over a sprinkler head last time they mowed. The water only comes bubbling out of the ground for 15 minutes during the irrigation cycle so it will be a low priority repair for them. I did not even know that that area was irrigated, there is no need.
