Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Also got in touch with AT&T to ask why the land line isn't fixed yet. That gal told me it's been diagnosed as a "cable problem" and is awaiting assignment to a field crew, with a new completion date of 2/28. I responded that I'd gotten the same story when I called at the beginning of January, and asked that the repair be "escalated". She promised I'd get a call back from a supervisor either last night or this morning, and I'm still waiting.

Good luck with that call back. I called AT&T last week. Because they billed me for early shut down of my account. After agent assured me that it would not happen when I closed account. No call back as promised. Glad to get rid of that no service company. You may not have that option where you are at.

You're right, Ron, if I want a land line telephone, and I do because cell service here is unreliable, I'm stuck with AT&T. That land line has been down since 11/8/18, and I've still been billed for three months of service that wasn't delivered. Yesterday's clerk assured me that I'd be issued credit once service is restored. I have no doubt I'll have to call them again to remind them if/when they fix whatever's wrong with the land line.

A few weeks ago I was thinking about trying an AT&T cell phone, but not anymore. It's bad enough trying to get them to do their job and fix the land line. There's no way I'm gonna put all my telephone/cell communication eggs in an AT&T basket after this. And, as with Apple, I'm giving serious thought to dumping their stock. How can companies with such customer adverse policies and practices be successful and grow their business (and make money for stockholders)?

Rick are you still pleased with your Z Turn?

I'm guessing you're addressing me Buppies?

I'm very pleased with the Kubota ZD1211-72".



The diesel is pretty fuel efficient ..... I get 10 hours on a tank of fuel.

I'm very pleased with the rear discharge deck and switched to Oregon Gator Mulching blades to get a great cut. Going from previous 60" deck to 72" really reduces cutting time.

It just barely fits on my trailer with only a little over an inch of clearance on each side. Before I went to pick it up, I had Dealer sales guy measure width and they missed by three inches. I took my GN trailer to pick it up since with the faulty measurement, it "wouldn't fit" my 6' x 12' trailer.

70°F here this morning with light fog. Forecast is for 77°F this afternoon.

Tomorrow is forecast for 80% chance of rain but, will be our last warm day for a bit. Right now the high for Friday is just 42°F.

Hoping the rain stays away so I can get more of the lawn, around the house, sprayed for winter weeds and get some more pre-emergent spread.

The rear suspension, on the Polaris Ranger, is making some noise so, guess I'll jack it up to see what's going on. Sounds like a failing bushing or ???

Hoping for an excellent "hump day" for everyone.

Prayers to all.

Good morning all! Low of 34, going up to 45 today. No precip last night, a slight chance today. Supposed to get very windy, gusts up to 60!. I hate wind!

So, for the first time in my life, I experienced acupuncture yesterday. Interesting process. I think there was actually some improvement, albeit for only about 5-6 hours. The therapist did state that it takes multiple sessions before any (and "IF ANY" is the key here) permanent results can be assessed. Maybe?

So, after multiple calls to the ortho doc, the answer is: I need to schedule with a rheumatologist. Why couldn't anyone tell me this before? Today will be trying to find out if the insurance will authorize it. I want to know prior to scheduling an appointment.

Not sure what will be on the agenda for today, just take it as it comes.

RNG, really beautiful pics. Amazing how Mother Nature can paint her landscapes. Wonder if the hummer is regretting not taking a southern vacation?

Drew, don't forget pics of the seat time today.

Don, the competition has not started until there are some 'verification' pictures.

Everyone dealing with nasty weather, take care, go slow, be safe! Prayers sent

It's down to 3° this morning. Yesterday we had lite snow and a lot of wind and still have a chance of more snow this morning. The high will be in the 20's with 15-20 mph winds. The drifts are the worst cleaning up the driveway. There are places that I have to blow in to the wind and they are the first places that fill back in when the wind blows. And they just get deeper and deeper though the season.

The only plans for today is to working on the driveway.

Hope everyone has good hump day.
CWB.

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!!!

24ºF was today’s low; 34ºF presently; near today’s anticipated high temperature. The NWS has issued a Winter Weather Advisory (sleet/freezing rain) for tonight and tomorrow night both waves changing over to rain.

After I finish reading what everyone here does on a daily basis I need to take a nap.

Rick- 2 Good looking tractors, 0 turn mower as well as your tractor hangar. Thanks for sharing.

David- Congratulations. Looks good.

Drew and Buppies. Your challenges have made me much better at protecting myself. I am good with headwear and high SPF clothing; still working on the sunscreen.

Bill- Thanks for sharing your snow project(s) pictures. Nice looking place.

Billy- I am happy to read that the dental work and staple removals went painlessly. Those staples and the pliers are nasty looking.

Mike- Good news on the windows; sad news about your SO and the other life challenges with which you and family have to deal. I really hope your SO can work this through; it’s not easy, and things improve. Hang in there.

It can get surprisingly cold in the cloud forests of Costa Rica where many USA hummingbirds migrate. They can go into a stupor/hibernation when it gets cold to conserve energy.

RonJH- Be careful on that ice. I do not want to lend you a slightly used knee immobilizer. It’s icy here as well and it’s going to get worse.

Ted- I am happy to read that you had a + response to the acupuncture. It takes a while. Good luck with the pre-authorizations with the rheumatologist. I’ll save you my rant about prior approvals. Again good luck.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers

18ｰF and cloudy this morning in Maryville MO, going up to 28ｰ today.

Hoping to not be here for that high temp. Meeting with our customer at 11:00, then headed back to STL this afternoon.

Drive was mostly uneventful yesterday. Ran through some freezing rain and falling temps going through mid-Missouri, but nothing too bad. Just slowed the drive a bit. Some snow flurries as I pulled into town last night, but no additional accumulation.

Neglected to pack my laptop, so I閾ｴe been spending a lot of thumb time on the iPhone.

Perfect 80's hair band... :thumbsup: Go Queensryche !!!

One of my favorite bands, and Geoff Tate is definitely my favorite rock vocalist of all time.

PJ, guitar is coming along, satin finish sounds nice. Does it take long to install the electronics

Thanks. The electronics should go pretty quick. Soldering the pickup leads to the switch and the pots, then to the output jack, and ground everything.
