Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

-4°F and our high for the day will be 5°F. Wind E 6 mph. Flurries they say, at time heavy. 5 cm/2" but I will put money on 5"+.

The wind chill/feel like temp tonight will be -35°F. A tad chilly.
They are also talking snow for the next three days. I say bring it on. I have a full tractor tank and another 190 gallons of fuel waiting to get burned.
Says the gurus at Enviroment Canada, the masters of understatement,
Weather advisory in effect for:

North Bay - Powassan - Mattawa
West Nipissing - French River

Winter Weather Travel Advisory in effect for tonight into Sunday morning.

Lake effect flurries are expected to develop northeast of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay this evening and persist into early Sunday morning. Total snowfall accumulations of 5 to 10 cm (2-4") are possible by later Sunday morning. Sudden reduced visibility is likely due to heavy snow. Travel may become hazardous as a result.

This lake effect snow is expected to move southeast of the area late Sunday morning.

Energy conversation day.

Have a good day all

11f right now going to 38f this afternoon. Looks like a nice day coming up. Might break out the hose and give the truck and tractor a quick splash. Tweaked my back a little so will take it slow this morning. Wife continues to mend. She is walking and moving around normal now. Still restricted for 80 more days. Going to be hard to keep her from picking stuff up and moving it. Doc visit on Friday to see if it worked. Stay safe all. (And warm)

22 clear going to 51.

Thanks for the well wishes, laughs, and suggestions on not repeating this foolish mistake. I don't think I'd done anything real stupid in a while, so I was due. It does throw a monkey wrench in my plans, but I've already adjusted.

Phil, hope you back gets back to normal quickly and your wife checks out okay Friday.

Buppies, glad you're getting better.

Rick, nice thank you gift...I think the instructions say something about use frequently during pressure washing.

4 degrees right now...high in the mid-30's today and snow showers. We're looking at snow on Tuesday (5"-8") so I'll top off the tractor's fuel tank today.

I did a temporary repair on the mail box yesterday. Hopefully, it'll hold up until Spring

Good morning all.
Wow, I bet we all felt Billy's head whack, so sorry that happened.
I'm bald enough on top now, plus with skin cancer, that I almost always wear a hat
for protection, but when you are crawling around usually the hat comes off.
Hope that heals fast Billy and it's all a bad memory in a couple of days.
Sitting in the ER dripping blood must have been a miserable experience.

Got seasonably cold again, nights are in low 20's. Hopefully a nice day today, getting more cloudy.
Might do some real exercise this afternoon by hand shoveling dirt back into the long electrical ditch that was just dug.
I did a quickee job filling it in the first time and now I have to finish the job.
Been so wet and muddy, had to wait.

I've now sunk my golf cart into the mud and had to haul it out.
Rick has now sunk his big tractor in the mud, a good lesson for all of us to not pull off the road
to be polite. Woman driver clueless, but now, who backs up? You on the tractor or she in her car?
Safer if you do...
Happy to see a happy ending, I can see a bit of that poured around 9pm with the necessary bug reducer lit and enjoyed.

going to have a quiet morning, try to do that on Sundays, then will work outside this afternoon. Helper thankfully came yesterday afternoon for three hours and made progress on the garden. I had done one row and my back was killing me, very happy to have help.

Most of my trays of cabbages are ready to plant. Carefully watching ten day forecast, no super cold days predicted so far.
With the holes cut out in the plastic, planting will be a cinch. Scoop the plant out with what is basically a small fork, then use a dibble in the ground, in goes the plant, snug around nicely, and then on to the next one. Zero rocks here, soft soil.
At the end of each six foot stretch, I water them.
This is the fun part for me.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 11° with light snow this morning. Heading to 14° with a nasty west wind. Should be good for a few snow drifts. Need to clean 2" of fresh snow off walkways. No other plans.

The group of 5 deer showed up at 8pm. What do we have here? Then they all took turns. I have been trying to catch the hawk that has been visiting feeder with trail cam. It has been cutting into the sparrow population and keeping them away from feeder. :thumbsup: No luck yet. My ring camera does react to the hawk. But it is mostly a flash across the screen.

Rick, good reward. When ground dries out some. Expect a call to cleanup the ruts.

May have to take my iphone 8P into Apple one day this week. Touch ID and Passcode has disappeared from settings. :confused3:

Prayers for all those in need.

Good Morning All.

Some critter is dragging the food pan out of the deck box where I feed the outdoor cats. Last time it happened I found canine teeth marks. Didn稚 see any new ones, maybe a coon this time, not a fox.
...........................
Maybe young coyote.

Maybe, I’ve heard them yipping recently.

Have you tried fender washers?


That is because managers are judged on how much they manage, $$$ are easy to count and contractors often work on cost plus a percentage of the cost.

I saw many projects that could have been done for a few thousand dollars inflated to hundreds of thousands with the same final widget produced. The prime rule is that IT'S NOT THEIR MONEY. If a defense contractor buys a $10 widget for a project and makes 10% he's better off buying the same widget for $100, and making 10%.

When my son worked for 3Phoenix his team took an off the shelf $750 radar and modified it to detect a periscope in the wake of an aircraft carrier, it saved around a billion dollars, the four of them got a citation and $10,000 bonus each. That is the exception and not the rule.
