Good morning!!!!

RNG, batten the hatches. People put masking tape on Windows during hurricanes here. Not sure if it helps or not.

I was giving serious thought to taping the door, especially after I felt all that flexing going on. I lost a similar fixed glass panel in another door a couple years ago, just popped with a bang one night for no apparent reason. It's safety glass, so no sharp shards, and double pane, only one of which let go. Apparently there are two more waves due in over the next few days, so we'll get to ride out a couple more...

My brother lost a big picture window from the wind a few years ago, single pane glass, old aluminum frames, rattling like crazy. One of the kids came in the daylight basement and the wind came in with them, then they got the door shut. The changes from outside pressure to inside pressure back to outside exploded that window all over. No one was hurt, but it was a mess (and the wind was still blowing). Cost them a bundle to get it fixed since the insurance was not current..

Randy, glad your mom is better.

Mousefield, why no tractor for snow?

We sold the farm about a year ago, but still like my tractor by net groups. Living on 1/2 acre now.

That is 'heart attack' snow. Be careful!

I was doing a lot of huffing and puffing, had two helpers; snow was wet so pretty heavy. Another storm coning in Wednesday late afternoon, supposed to start as snow and then turn to heavy rain. We haven't had this much snow for a few years, what the heck happened to global warming?

If anything good from that much snow should help the water wells come summer.

wow, I'm glad you made it. My first thought was:
Ariens Snow Blowers | Single Stage and Two Stage Snow Throwers

living where you live with that driveway, I'd look for some mechanical help

Are these before or after pics?

Got a line on a local guy with a big snowblower who will do it for reasonable $. We have not had much snow here for at least 5 years so no need to shovel, plow or snowblow in that time. Good chance it will be a few years before we get this much snow again. There is a town called Campbell River about an hour's drive north of us got close to 30 inches or so.

After.

For the past few years we have had long drought like summers. Had fir trees die that were over 100 years old. But boy did we end up milling some gorgeous lumber out of the four trees we took down.
Lots of snow on the hills and mountains, so yes great for this coming summer.

Found out tonight our middle grandson who just turned 5, has pneumonia. He was sick last week, they were going to do a chest X-ray but decided it wasn't needed when he responded to breathing treatments. Seemed to me just the opposite would be the case, but what do I know? He woke up with a 102° fever, the X-rays showed right lung involvement. Praying for my buddy, he's Pop pop's boy.

Glad to hear Mom's on the mind. Now prayers for your Grandson.

Didn't get to wiring before the rain started, but did get the legs on end of struts, so quite stable now.
Decided to angle toward morning sun a bit.

It came down here for a week. I put gas in the car after dark, no coat, no hat, no wind breaker. It was 74.

Ditto, you would take his sickness for yourself if you could.

Rams and Ewes. You're gonna get some of our blood pressures up.

Sodamo, keep us posted on the solar panel system. Watched a Nova about advanced batteries. Fairly interesting.

Farmer, how do you "herd" chickens? There is a Sanderson processing station near where I work. Often, I'd see their 18 wheeler passing cars in the 45 mph city limits, changing lanes and just flat out driving like a nuisance....until 1 day....He tried to make a left hand turn too fast going to the plant and rolled a tractor trailer full of chickens. Many of the birds got loose. I hope they attacked the driver.

Good evening all. 59F this morning, overcast clearing out, light breeze. Winds not as bad as forecast, closer to 15 mph max, temp rose to 77F with mostly clear skies. Rode this morning, usual route has 3 low water crossings, one is being converted to a higher bridge deck so have to change how I ride route. Grocery shopping and diner in town finished off day.

Glad I didn't go with the lithiums. I am getting the Aquions showed near end of show.

25 right now...high will be a nice 40 degrees today which should melt quite a bit of the snow we got yesterday (looks like about 3-4 inches of wet snow with ice on top)

Added (0347): Pretty frozen out there, so I think I'll do the clean up this afternoon. I think it's going to be a slow drive in to work this morning...

Prayers for your grandson Toppop and glad your moms doing better

56 high of 68 later today rain moves in tonight. Very windy yesterday even closed road in front of house from a tree rather large that fell across the road. Took a large rubber tired loader to clean that one up.

Bathroom progress slow but sure. The wonder board is in heating elements in for heated floor and grouted tile installation starts today. Cabinet installed on Friday and counter top templated Friday as well. Counter top takes two to three weeks to make so March looks like when they will be close to done

 

[daugen]

light rain now and mid fifties, going up to 72 today; lots of us seem to be enjoying warmer than usual weather, but the next system coming in tomorrow ends before it drops to 24 degrees Friday morning. Hopefully that will not take out the buds on my two apple trees that are budding.
North of here looks like lots of you are getting snow. Well this Friday's moon is a full moon, an eclipse too, and is called the "snow moon". Fitting for the weather...Indians used to call it the "hunger moon" since it was the dead of winter when food was hard to find.

Buppies, your bathroom sounds like you are coming along nicely. I bet you can't wait for many reasons, including the mess.
David, slow and steady. Sounds like you may need the hot tub for your back. Does your wife let you off for a full half hour for lunch?
