46 and dark here at 0500. I rained like CRAZY yesterday. Everything is a mud bog today I am certain.
One cute story is that my Paint horse Harley got all excited when I fired up the tractor. He got all frisky and bouncy. Back at the rescue where he lived the last 7 years, they fed the horses (they have had as many as 120) from their 'Bota going down the fenceline filling buckets. In the afternoon they also chased my F-150 down the driveway and back. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when the horses get frisky and RUN, it is so beautiful...
I got the toothbar off and ratchet rake on yesterday, but the FEL repair was a no-go, the studs on the newer 2011 FEL's are threaded, but mine seem to be welded. I was unable to budge the stripped one, and the broken one there was nothing I could grab.
My dealer is picking it up later this morning to take it to his shop and re-weld the studs and fix it. It has not been off the property except just a bit dow the gravel easement to my neighbors to move cedar trunks loggers left, or to pick up his PHD. I have not even had it as far as the pavement yet. It will be weird to not have it here.
So last evening I had to strip it naked, dropped the bucket w/RR and dropped off the stump grinder (Yes, I made SURE the HYD pressure was relieved BEFORE I unhooked it). My wife said it looked funny and naked. Thus far it has had the grapple on 99% of the time. I suspect for the bucket will get MUCH more use now with the Ratchet Rake, but I need it to dry out a bit so I can test it on my slash!
Enough of my soap opera...
Good Morning all! Have an amazing day!
Be well,
David

Whoa, what a change 24 hours have made. 19F With some bluster. Have about 3/4" snow.
The house felt a bit chilly yesterday, as the wind blew and the temps dropped. I suspected when I went to bed that something was amiss with the furnace. I couldn't recall the last time I heard it run. We have had such mild weather...but the thermo was set at 65F and interior temp was 62F, wasn't positive...
When I awoke, I knew something was wrong. I double checked to make sure the furnace was switched on at the stat, went down to the furnace room and cycled the subpanel throw. The furnace fan kicked on for two minutes, then shut off, then the burner engaged. All is well! Newfangled electronics...my furnace needed REBOOTED.
WARM NOW!!

Hey Dean so is the storm producing much snow? I'm east of you and they are forecasting 1-2 inches for us.

Got some rain over the last 16 hours, not as much as expected. Mid fifties now, 62 for a high today thirties by the weekend, might be when we move in the new house if all goes as hoped.

They were calling 1-3 here, but we ended up with 3/4". Looks like maybe one small band left.
The most I heard was in Odessa with 1 1/2". Might have had a touch of ice, sounds like I-70 is an ice rink out there. Or (probably) just the snow melted / refroze. Sure is cold!
Well, the snow has continued to mount up, the school closings as well; looks like just about everything in NH is now closed for the day; Manchester (NH) TV station is now listing 370 school/other closings. Guess I'll get some seat time later.
Still very windy here- some places I see 8" or better, other spots bare. Schools apparently closed due to the forecasted (is there a past tense of that verb?) rain/sleet later this afternoon. Sounds like it's going to be very slippery around 3-5PM.

Good morning. 42 after a good drenching overnight. Temps are supposed to plunge tonight with a blast of arctic air. Not much snow in the forecast. Have a good one!
