Good morning! The extreme cold last night made me think of this thread-- -13ｰC, no snow, no ice, just hard, hard ground. I've been getting wood from the back of our land, lots of dead, mostly dry trees to thin out.

Now heading out to take the Iseki up the hill to move some hay to the goats and sheep, who got a bit brave about the electric fence this week and have been helping themselves to the young wheat the neighbor has in his field. I put a 4th wire there, hope I don't find them out when I get up there. They have plenty to eat in the 9 acres they are on, but they don't like going way back down the field when they can just jump to the neighbor.

Hope all of you are doing well and getting well prepared for winter.

Randy, take care of yourself and Ellen. We lost my grandfather to Alzheimer’s years ago, it really aged my father.
LS, sorry for your loss. I’ve got a 10 year old boxer, she seems fine now, but when she goes I know it will be a dark day here.
Harv, take care.

"Actually, everyone who sticks around are great people, look forward to our conversations."- Randy
Considering the wide variety of personalities this thread is a pretty well "balanced;" No drama and no "food fights."

Randy- Hang in there. I would not be posting anywhere if it was not for the support of my wife and friends when I first got sick. I am so happy to read about your and Ellen's relationship. Some things in life are meant to be. My mom died from a dementing illness (multi-infarct dementia). No more psychobabble today:embarrassed:

Bill- I am happy to read that your dog's neutering went w/o incident and that she is doing well.

Drew- Good luck with your new tractor. I hope that you and your tractor have many long and boring hours of operation together. My NH's telescoping and adjustable steering post is now "free moving."

RNG- I am sorry to read about the flash flooding. That NWS ProMet needs retraining on how to interpret weather data. The potential for Tstorms "training" with that storm system was a popular topic. Thank you for your updates and opinions about this catastrophe. Hang in there.

Harv- I hope the test results offer no surprises.

A balmy 23F to start the day and no "surprises" in the living room. I cooked one of our squashes last night, mashed the pulp with some peanut butter. Brogen liked the new food additive to his food mix. He's back to "normal." It appears that squashes in general helps canine gastric disturbances. Thanks for the suggestions It also appears that the leftover turkey scraps were triggering his GI problems. The leftovers were used to make soup prior to becoming dog food. Something in the soup ingredient mix? I removed all the onion and garlic prior to giving it to the dog. He tolerates turkey in canned/roll dog food.

Not much planned for today. I hope that everyone has a decent weekend. My weekend looks to have some icing, freezing rain, sleet; but mostly rain. It looks like I will be firing up the wood stove starting Tuesday. I have only used the stove ~6 times this year. We have been heating our house with our new slimline HVAC system; making use of our established credit with the electric company due to our solar panel production. We have not paid an electric bill this year.

I hope those on the mend keep mending; and those who do not stay that way.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers for all

Our boxer had some gastric problems, and we feed her some canned pumpkin. She likes it, so that is even better.

Farmer, I hope your boy comes out it. Medical folks aren’t infallible, some just are passing time to get paid.

Good morning all, 38 going to 41 with an 80% chance of rain. Wow many hard things happening in the Good morning world. My computer keeps shutting down google so I will just say prayers ARE sent for all, Have a great day. Ed

30 and going to a high of 34F. Wind SW 11 mph. 30% chance of either snow or rain.

There is a 'special weather statement', but that is for Sunday and it is way too early to rely on that.

Yesterdays shopping trip covered 11 stores and a gas station. We were home and the stuff put away at 3.

The DIL wants to go to a rummage sale today along with some local shopping. This ought to be fun.

Have a good day all

Drew, you’ve done Kubota, Deere, and now Massey. I think you’re in danger of being a tractor ****.
