Good morning!!!!

[Buppies]

Buckeye praying for on upcoming surgery

Made trip down south for meeting today up way too early

Not sure of temperatures this morning but from the feel of the floor very cold. Unhooked all of the outside hoses at home before we left very windy on trip down

Ordered air bags for F250 and finally bought a goose neck trailer Load Trail 14000 pound trailer green in color should contrast well with Kubota. Should be ready for pickup first part of December

23 going to 43. Glad the woodstove is enjoying the oak I've been feeding it. Yesterday's strong wind removed much of the remaining colorful leaves.

Scaredy, beautiful snow. We like it here, but we don't get that much most years.

Eric, for 50 pages of instructions, complete 1 page per day and you'll be finished before 2018!

Took my wife and Coco for a nice hike yesterday to the river...back to the spot the hornet walloped me...didn't see any more.

Drew, I looked over our remaining flowers and garden yesterday, too, knowing the end was near. I struggled to keep two hills of nasturtiums barely alive all summer, and yesterday noticed they had finally grown to as big as any I've ever seen, full of blooms. Still had tomatoes, peppers and snaps.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 24° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 35° with mostly cloudy skies. When I woke up at midnight for a nature break the temperature was 17°. Good sign that it's going to be a little warmer today. May go out and blow leaves away from buildings. Then start work on a speed reducer for drill press. Been on my shop project list for years. Hardest part will be finding all the parts I collected for it.
Scaredy, :welcome:
Drew, glad your getting better.
Randy, Thoughts and prayers.
Don, good news on your Mom texting. It will be very easy with a iPad. Next she will want the TBN APP.
Good Morning All.

Good morning! 58˚ as the prevailing winds from the South return, heading to 70˚.

We have had only a slight frost this Fall with temps falling to 32 for a few hours. The only plants that were damaged were my sweet potatoes so I dug them up and found nothing. I guess I planted them too late. The regular red potatoes are still looking good even though I forgot to put the alfalfa hay on them.

Looking at the 10 day forecast no freeze is predicted.

One more trip to the at&t store to make sure of all the details on the iPad and the return policy if mom cannot get it. I hope to present it as a Winter hobby to stimulate her mind a little each day to keep her sharp. There is a fine line between new information and overload so I must keep the learning sessions short and simple. We went by Costco yesterday and when I show her the iPad for the first time there was no total rejection however she couldn't believe the high price (on sale for $359 - wifi only).

I'm looking for a seniors iPad book that will be a guideline for the "classes". I don't want to skip things that I just know and she does not like how to swipe, hitting the return key to start a new line, etc.etc.

16 right now...high in the low 30's today.

First order of business is to pick up a suppressor (.22 caliber) in Waterbury (about 50 miles N of Bethel). It took about 8 months for the ATF to process and approve.

I might run down on the field and run a few rounds through a couple *****s and a Ruger SR-22 to see how well the suppressor works...depends on how soon I get to Waterbury (and back), but I plan on heading up about 0830

Definitely need to clean out the spouts...most leaves are down now.

Either this afternoon or tomorrow, I want to get the flail mower in the shed and hook up the snow blower. There's no snow in the forecast (next 10 days), but I'd rather rig the blower when the weather is reasonable.

So, the chores list above will be the weekend plans

For all you Vets...Thank you for your service!!

Good Morning All.

Ron, wish you were in Texas, projects are piling up. You were always good at putting a big dent in them - enough to get me enthused about finishing them in a timely manner.
Mom on the TBN app and morning thread?? Thats a hefty goal, maybe a cameo appearance in a few months.

Thank you Veterans!!!!!

have been working on a garden layout for next year, doing it in Excel.
This is for a one to two acre veggie garden in the field next door. One part will be fenced, most just row crop.
Using Excel for layout; does anyone know if you can input verbiage in Excel vertically vs the normal horizontal? With rows going vertically in the diagram, would be nice to label them but so far I have to use a blank pattern and then hand write in the info. Not a big deal but I can read the typing better than my super small writing.

I'm not sure if this is what you want...

Right click on a cell and select the Format Cells command (it will be near the bottom of the popup menu), select the Alignment tab. You'll see text orientation to the right. I reckon you'll figure how to do that by trial and error. BTW, I suggest you stick with 45 degrees rather than vertical.

Easy. Highlite the cells and merge them to make a pattern (alternatively you can resize cells). Right click the patern and select Format cell, click Alignment tab. It is all there.
