Good Morning!!!! 45F @ 3:30AM here in Chico, CA. Periods of rain. High 53F. Winds SE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall near a half an inch. Localized flooding in recent burn areas.

A head cold is keeping me up this morning, not surprising with all the evacuees living out in the weather and frequenting all the same stores I've been visiting. I guess you can only wash your hands so many times a day, and it isn't enough.

I was brought up right handed, but I'm left eye dominant and probably should have been taught to write with my left hand. Not quite ambidextrous, but I don't have any trouble handling tools and doing delicate things with my left hand, either. I've been a ten finger typist since junior high school as well.

Another reason to wear some type of breathing protection when outside.

I type with 10 fingers. But as I age. Find I need spell check and proofreading more. Even that does not work all the time. :confused3:

No hat, no t shirt, no coat....But I did have a bumper sticker. It left the property when I sold my old suburban. I believe I got it at Bird's birthday party years back.

I thought I still had some of those, but if I do, I can't find them.

28 degrees here this morning and forecast to go to 60, clear and sunny.

I think we're only going to have one daughter and son-in-law here for Thanksgiving tomorrow, so we'll have a lot more to eat than we know what to do with.

Incidentally, son-in-law is a funeral director/mortician/funeral home manager, etc. so I sent him the following that I received from someone recently.

The man that invented Spell Check died today
May he rust in piss

Morning all, hope RNG gets to go home. How frustrating.

Am left eye dominate but right handed. In baseball can bat either way, but right feels better. But thats been a few yrs ago.

Today is most traveled day of the yr. I'll be in the fight.

40° here this morning and forecast is for high of 56° and increasing rain chances this evening.

We're having Thanksgiving at the Richmond house so .... my only prep job today is to bake a pumpkin pie and a chocolate pie.

Did everyone get the news to get rid of your romaine lettuce?

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Prayers to all.

More signs of life at the old homestead. I just checked the PG&E outage map and it's showing that power is on at the house. And I just finished a chat session with HughesNet, and they tell me that the satellite modem is on and the system is working, too. So I brought up the Home app on my iPhone, and sure enough several lights were on and the thermostat is reading 65°, pretty normal for this time of year.:cool2::dance1::drink:

Now I'm really chomping at the bit to get home...

Yup. We threw out our romaine, and I brought home some iceberg lettuce to make the salad with last night. Better safe than sorry!

Got my new synology NAS working tonight. Disappointed in the security cam app. Only allows 2 without further license. Maybe there is another app, got a lot to learn.
What type of computing needs do you do that a device like that would deliver? I'm interested.

Forgot about the bumper stickers. I have 2 of them. After reading the "HF tools that do not suck" thread. I need to get them put on my tool boxes.
I just remembered, that I have not 1, but 2 of wroughtnharv's TBN silhouette stones. Thanks to Don, for donating it to me. And thanks to Harvey who made them and gladly gave them as gifts to us. I have them as steps at each end of my barn's sidewalk.

Kyle, enjoy your days off. Second year of not visiting Lee County on our way to winter locations. Miss those visits.

I understand. Also just remembered you writing about having to wax the RV in Arizona too. Not sure if you miss that too. But glad you have good memories of it. Life's changes....Prayers for Betty and you.

Drew, pretty nice place. Enjoy. I would love to see the gardens too. Not sure why I like manicured gardens like those. Just do.

Eric, 27 litre displacement, glad I'm not having to top off the tank. :)

What would you guys do?
We have a new aggregate depot company about a kilometer from us. They built a rail spur and bring the stuff from where ever. It is noisy when they load the trucks in the 5 am hour. This just started about a month ago. Should I complain to the district attorney and Sheriff? Or should I find out the owner's name and drive past his house with one of those loud boom boom stereo cars at 5 am in the morning? He probably lives near Don, since the aggregate comes from his neck o' the quarries, so that would be the wrong direction for my commute. Maybe I could hire out a local punk to blare out the rap. They would still be up at that time from the night before anyway.

Bups prayers for your shoulder/arm, Ed, prayers for you and your family.

Good news, the missing chicken was hiding. Probably from the owl. Stayed underneath a porch deck overnight. Chicken count still at 3.

Another hydraulic cylinder on the smaller tractor leaking. This time it's the bucket curl cylinder. Deere wants about $75 for the seals, o-rings and bushings. Ouch. Might take it apart and see if I can piece meal my own kit.

It's 19° this morning with clear skies, yesterday was sunny and in the mid 40's. Today is going to be around 50° with mostly sunny skies. Not sure what tomorrow will bring they keep changing the forecast.

We was going to go to SLC for the holiday but the daughter said she had to work most of the weekend. And her ex has the grandson for the holiday weekend. So we will make the best of of it here.

Not much planned for today, feed the horses and do some work on the tool box.

RNG... That sounds promising, hope you get back and find everything else is ok. Best of luck.

Hoping everyone has a good start to the holiday.
CWB.
