Good Morning!!!! 37F and raining @ 4:45AM. Rain and snow showers this morning changing to rain showers for the afternoon. High near 45F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 80%. Snow accumulations less than one inch.
It's probably snowing a few hundred feet higher up at the Highway 70 junction; at least the radar map thinks it is. I'll be happy with the rain, but snow sure is pretty, especially when it all melts off before noon.:laughing:
Around here, the less said about gas/fuel prices, the better. :muttering: I'm just happy I can buy all I need any time I want. Hasn't always been that way.
Sorry about your lost friend, Buppies. It's a sobering moment when you hear about a contemporary passing on, and sad if you knew them well.
Do you give fence building lessons, Eric? I think I'll be spending some "quality time" on one this year, and it'll be a new experience...
Don't forget about the bobcat in the barn, Thomas. That would be a surprise neither of you would enjoy.:laughing:
Spoke briefly with my WalMart trucker bulldozer drivin' neighbor yesterday, and he's "up" (or is it "down") for doing some trenching here when it's time. With i-80 closed over the Sierra, he's been making long detours on smaller, often snowy, roads, not much fun in a big 18 wheeler. He did say he'll soon rotate to a schedule where he has weekends off, and every other one is a three dayer. We were conversing via cell phone, his being a new "smart phone" he's having trouble using. Said he was trying to call me, but was having difficulty figuring out how, and wasn't sure his repeated banging on the thing caused his call to go through or not. Sounded a bit disappointed when I told him I called him!:laughing: Maybe we can get together when he's in town and I can help get him up to speed on his new fangled phone?:confused2:
Probably a good day to take another swipe at the taxes, then maybe screen a movie. Both good rainy day activities...
Hope everyone enjoys what's left of the weekend!
