Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Good morning. The frost didn't wait around to see the sun at day break, it has already melted thanks to an early morning visit by some warmer air from the south. With no rain in the forecast, this is going to be a good day for a few outside jobs, now I just have to work out which of them deserves to get WUndergrounds's promise of that 3 minutes and 50 seconds of extra daylight today.

Kyle, Loch Ness can be bleak or beautiful, it very much depends on the weather. As a child I had heard many tales tales of the monster that inhabited it's deep, dark water, so the first time we went to Scotland I took one look at the Loch and then hid under a blanket on the back seat of the car for the many miles that the Inverness road follows it up through the Glen.

The early TV Dr Who monsters were almost as scary as Lock Ness, though I doubt I would have hidden behind the couch with your Dr Who friend Jay. He sounds to have been quite a character. I doubt he has left you, or ever will, he will still be right there in your thoughts, ready to test you next time you walk through the woods and when you walk through many fond memories while sitting by the wood burner.

Jay-sorry for the loss of your friend. Looks like we are on the 6 to 9 inches path with possible ice/freezing rain at the end. Off to work this morning but should be home before the heaviest starts falling. Be safe all!

Rainy 35 going to a rainy 46.

RIP DR.

Wife made it home last night after 3 weeks in NC...almost afraid she had forgotten the way home. I had the house spick and span, flowers on the table, and Coco had a new frisbee to present to her.

Today will be coffee roasting day, and work on son's taxes.

4 and going to a high of 12°F. Wind ENE 21 mph. Snow starting at noon and continuing through Wednesday. 2-4" today and 4-8" overnight. (All amounts translated from metric to imperial/ US measurements)

Depending on how fast the snow piles up, I may go out this evening after supper and plow. No fear, I've got lights AND a LED carnival light on top of the cab.

My outside incinerator blew out the door glass sometime in the past three days. It is just an old Elmira wood stove that the insurance company told me I had to get out of the house. There was nothing 'wrong' with it, so I've been using it for an incinerator for the past 15 years.

A dump run is in the cards for this morning, along with a bunch of fresh greens shopping and more fuel for the genny and the Dodge.

Have a good day all

It appears that Whipper responded+ to CBD; started to re-experience - symptoms when discontinued.

Every now and then someone comes into one's life and things change. A kindred spirit of mine was found dead in his kitchen the other day. It was his family's home, 6 occupants, two rooms, and a loft, no running water, no plumbing, no septic; just electricity all their lives. No meat w/o a jacked deer or maybe bluejay or squirrel some times. This is in modern MA too. I/Wifey was/were honored to become part of the family. He walked to get his water from a secret spring even after he got a well because of the potato fields upslope; finally got a septic system too. He "died" when his Dad died while he was in college studying forestry sciences. He knew and forgot more about the NE woods and animals than I will ever hope to know. He tested me every time I visited. He was a survivor, a character, looked like a garden gnome, was well gifted in herbal farming, and one of the most honest, hardworking souls that I have ever met. I'll miss him. I believe in + thoughts, wishes, and prayers. They work.... A few for Jimmy AKA DR Who would be appreciated. He deserved so much more.

........................................
By the sounds I would have also like to met the man...may he rest in peace.

Poured first cup of coffee. 25° with light snow this morning. Heading to 37° with mix of snow, sleet and rain. Should be a good day to stay inside. But wife has a Dr appointment in afternoon. Never made it to shop yesterday. Spent most of the day relaxing. Did clean walkway from the snow we got Sunday night. Hope to get out into shop some time today. As I am typing this message weather has changed to sleet.

Jay, sorry to hear about loss of your friend. May he RIP.

Don I hope you figure out what Whippers problem is.

RNG, I use Garmin Express to download maps. Available for PC and Mac. Which Garmin GPS are you using.

Wngsprd, "wife is home after 3 weeks". Happy days.

Some terrible weather out there. Be warm and safe.

Prayers for all.

Good Morning all.

good morning all. Almost feel guilty announcing it's going to 68 here today
with all you getting socked with snow. Almost.

We got about 3/4 inch of rain yesterday, might get another shower tonight but a nice gentle rain that
I'm sure is making all those seedlings happy.

Headed to dentist this morning, not looking forward to that, know I have a filling, it's the drilling I'm really worried about
with my tinnitus. It amplifies and distorts everything and wondering what that vibration is going to feel like in my head.
I'm going to suggest he does not dally in there....:shocked:
Can't wait, sort of..., to get to ENT next week.

Toppop, you going to do anything special with that crate engine for your Monte Carlo? 350hp is a lot compared to what it came with.
Real question is, which mufflers...what kind of rumble do you want.

Jay, sorry you lost your special friend.

starting Saturday, it shows five days of rain here. If that's snow North of here, you guys are going to get a real workout.
Drive safely New Englanders.

Big system working its way East now, whenever I see the system dipping down into the Gulf of Mexico, know it's going to suck up moisture there and pump it out to us.

All this rain is going to mess up my potato planting.
