Drinking first cup of coffee. 42 degrees with rain this morning. Heading to 50 with winds and clouds. Have plans to get all kinds of work done today. But my back is acting up. May be a day of rest.
Paid $3.819 for gas yesterday. Diesel has been stuck at $4.15 or more for more than a month.
Good Morning All.

Good morning! Dreary and 40* here with a chance of rain. Time to put the rest of the deck furniture in storage. Have a good one!

we have 31 now with sunny sky's warming to 44.we had rain yesterday and received .025 of rain which we need badly.we also have been having a lot of wind.

0952 cool and WINDY....love it! I was looking outside and figure if I wait another hour all the leaves will be gone and mowing will be easier.

When I do head out to mow it will be interesting to see just how much the wind will end up covering me and the tractor with grass clippings! At least it isn't supposed to rain till later today so- the grass won't "stick".

Mix of cloud/sun today and a high of 68F. Our high pressure ridge that brought us such nice weather the past few weeks is breading down and we expect rain starting Friday. It is much needed as we have had the driest period in 116 years. They are catching salmon at the mouth of rivers and trucking them to the spawning area further up as there is not enough water in the rivers for the salmon to swim up.

Just filled the car with gas and it was $4 gal. for mid-grade. Diesel was $4.30 gal.

Lots, tax is a good percentage of the total.
Sad thing is they keep trying to find new things to tax us on.

Just one stupid example of our government. Canada Post, a crown corporation lost money
(-$327,000,000.) this fiscal year yet thousands (7,402) of employees got bonuses.

Our postal service is going broke also. Lots of folks don't send letters anymore, email is much cheaper, and you can send pics and stuff.

Not "going broke"...is broke.
The USPS has defaulted (very recently) on a major loan payment.

Frankly, I can't recall the last time I sent a letter or paid a bill through the mails.

I think what is keeping them afloat is the presence of a postal facility in every congressional district. They just built a new post office here, about 3 years ago. Might be the last one ever built. Seems to be a busy place? I live in a rural area, and until a few years ago, when I had something shipped UPS, the mail lady would deliver it!! Now we have a regular UPS driver here, she no longer delivers UPS packages.

BRRR...chilly day here. hi of 44 degrees, drizzling rain and windy. About the postal service...I recall back in 2001 and before my wife and I would get home from work and find a huge stack of snail mail (mostly bills) catalogs, magazines, flyers, etc. and we sent out so much mail first class we would go thru 100 stamps in five weeks, and today the same 100 stamps last over a year or longer. I read someplace the major source of revenue for the post office now is bulk mail.

Oh yeah...regular gas is currently $3.94.9, diesel is $4.09.9...

and- one of our senators was fighting to stop the closing of processing facilities here in Vermont. I don't get it- a business is losing income, has not had much luck with new/different marketing and business strategy but, our tax dollars are going to be pumped into it to save some jobs?

I don't want to see anyone lose their jobs but, I don't believe that bailing out a failing business is a good investment.

I driving around a bit (1000 miles) this week getting things done. The price of gasoline is between $3.55 and $3.65. I'll end up spending about $80 for gas in the Prius this week.

What year was that when they started to sell gasoline by the liter, it only lasted several months, - late 70s or early 80's?

Drinking lots of hot coffee this morning. 26 degrees with clear skies. Heading to 59 with clear skies and wind to keep leaves moving. Working on getting motorhome put away until after Christmas. Back is feeling better after some rest yesterday.
Good Morning All.

JDgreen227 · Oct 11, 2012

30 degrees here now, heavy frost overnite. Going to install a new front tire on the tractor today when it gets warmer....supposed to hit 58 later. I started doing winter prep things outdoors a month ago and it seems every time I get one thing crossed off the list another one gets added.
