Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Good morning all.

It is warm this morning, -10 and going to a high of 19 with snow. Wind S 10 gusting 17 mph. Didn't I tell you guys that it had to get warm to snow?

Jeep is plugged in and I am raring to go, not! But a dump run must be done and I should clean out the mail box before the mail girl thinks we are ll dead, here. I will need to go to Huntsville Ontario, not
Texas, also.

Speaking of HAs, my Grandfather had one at age 48, they diddn't expect him to survive to see his first grandbaby. Me. So Mum named me after him and my Dad. The moniker was longer than the baby. 3 first names.
My Dad had one at age 51 and he survived until 1993, another 20 years. Complications from a stroke took him.
I have never had one, I'm 71. I have never really looked after it, did as I pleased and partied my brains out until age 40. I'm wondering if the first HA I have will be the one that kills me. Probably.

Anyway, enough of this morbid subject,

Stay safe and warm everyone.

Good luck and get well.

Doctor called me tonight, says he talked to other doctors, who recommend letting things heal another month, dont mess with it, and see how things are then. No more surgeries for the time being, subject to change in a month.

-5 on the thermometer this morning, likely a local record.
Just have to wait today out and it starts getting warmer.

Man what a storm. 170 km/hour (105 mph) winds in some places, with 30 centimetres of snow caused wide spread power outages. Our power was not restored for three days. Early morning around 3a.m. the stormed turned to pelting rain dropping the snow levels but turn much of the snow to slush which continually clogged the shoot of my tractor's snowblower. I ended up using the bucket to do my snow removal route for it was easier then continuously unclogging the blower.

Speaking of cold seats, when i was young our house Didn't have indoor plumbing, and the outhouse wasnt exactly beside the house, so it was a cold trip and a cold seat.

Good Morning everyone.

-25 right now...high about 10 today.

I never saw any high (20 MPH +) winds yesterday...not too blustery. Today I'll move some drifted snow off the drives and walks. We have a 55" 4K TV being delivered tomorrow, so I need to get the old TV moved...also, got to pick up a pack of AA batteries.

And after we had a few days of freezing temperatures, it's hard to believe the low this morning is 52, going for a high of 64. The weather forecasters seem pretty sure that we're going to get some rain before the day's over, and I hope they're right.

It was warm yesterday afternoon and we saw lots of folks out in their yards raking leaves. I reckon the garbage men will be picking up lots of bags of leaves tomorrow.

-1 now, but sun starting to come out.

Vehicle started. Gotta take boys to airport. Wife said she would take them, but i want to ride along.

Roy, what TV? I been looking at that size. I have a 52" sony projection tv, 10 yrs old. Recently replaced bulb. I have a better tv in basement. Seems costco samsungs go from 50" to 65", would like something in between. I need to redo my whole setup.
Have a big oak entertainment center, stereo rack on left with glass doors, then a tv area in center, with rolling doors that can close it. Drawer on bottom, and another CD upright drawer on right side. My projection TV was way too big to fit in, so it sits beside it. Both take up around 14' of wall space.
Wife keeps lots of pictures and candles on top.
Like i said yesterday, buying the 1 new receiver is going to lead to a major rework of the FR, but it hasn't changed in 20 yrs except for adding the tv 10 yrs ago. Whole house needs painted inside, all original paint when built. I hesitate because i have stained wood trim, lots of work to tape off.

Well, better get ready to go.
