Good morning to all! Low of 22, going up to 38 early, then as a front comes across, dropping temps back down to around 30. The snow yesterday just gave us a dusting, apparently going north and dumping on Durango / SW Colorado. My daughter reported having 20" on the ground.
Today, when the front comes across, we may get a "quick 3-6", as described by the weather guesser.
Drew, glad to hear that they didn't find any abnormalities on the MRI. Hopefully treatment will now be straightforward.
Roy, glad Suzette is recovering and progressing.
Not sure what the day will bring, just taking it as it comes.
Everyone stay dry, warm, and safe! Prayers sent.

Good Morning!!!! 39F @ 6:15 AM. Abundant sunshine. High 52F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.
I'm not quite as bad as Ron; the iPhone here is set to Do Not Disturb from 9 PM to 9 AM. But unless it's go-to-town day, it sits on the headboard in the bedroom, which happens to be where the cell phone amplifier antenna is, so it can receive calls. Unfortunately, the ringer on the darn thing isn't loud enough to be heard anywhere else in the house.:confused2: AT&T sez they'll have the land line fixed by the end of next week, but I'll believe that when I hear a dial tone again. They said the same thing for January. :muttering:
Good luck finding a pay phone, Kyle. But I can help you with those calls to Don if you like.:laughing:
No milk problems I know of here at Walmart, but then again I don't grocery shop there because they don't have a lot of the things on my grocery list (it's not one of the super stores).
Made a pretty good dent in the first brush pile yesterday, going through two tanks of gas in the little Stihl before my back told me it was time for lunch. Got a lot less firewood out of the effort than I was hoping for, way less than a quarter cord. I did get a modest size burn pile stacked, and a line of brush all set to feed it, and it looks like the wind will cooperate today as well. I find it much more satisfying dumping the slash directly into the fire than piling it up.
Took the skylight off the pop top yesterday and replaced the gasket. The new gasket also had creases in the bulb part, but fewer, and the bulb wasn't as big, so maybe it'll seal better. The instructions said to loosen the hardware to let the plastic cover self center, but the hardware didn't have much slack in it at all. I used some silicon grease to help it seal, but I can see that the hinge side is higher than the latch side, and this makes me think my chances for success are somewhat limited. I think today I'll put a towel and a couple heavy blocks on top of it to encourage the seal to mould to the lid, and leave them there through the storms that are due in next week.

It's still cold this morning -4°. It was cold yesterday, it never got above 8° with overcast skies and 15 mph wind. Today is going to be partly cloudy this morning and sunny in the afternoon with a high in the mid 20's. The forecast shows the temperature in the 40's for the first part of next week. That would be a nice change. It's been quite a while since I've seen those forecasted highs.
Going to try a new fix for the defroster on the ranger. If not I'll need a new plan D.
Hope everyone has good start to the weekend.

Hanging right at 0 degrees this morning.
Roy, glad your wife is recovering well.
I have a buddy coming up today to ride our sleds. Should be a good day with plenty of sunshine.:thumbsup:

After 75 years, this story, which was told to me some time ago by a friend who's son knows Tony, is receiving a lot of media coverage today.
On the 22nd February, 1944, a badly damaged B-17 Flying Fortress crashed in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield, killing all 10 of the crew. An 8 year old boy called Tony saw the plane, running on one engine and circling the park that he and his friends were playing in. One of the crew waved at the boys, but only later did Tony realise that they weren't just being friendly, they wanted they boys to move so they could attempt a landing. They didn't move and the place crashed on the hill side. Every since Tony has been tending to the memorial for the men that died.
Today a flypast of British and American planes was organised in memory of the crew and that little boy that never forgot them.

Good Morning Everyone!!!
Today’s low was 31ºF, 32ºF now, and I expect temps to rise into the mid to high 30ºF’s.
Buppies- Thanks for sharing your parents’ mailbox story.
Roy- I am happy to read that Suzette continues to improve.
RonJH- I am glad your MRI’s are decent. I hope that your wife’s swallowing evaluation goes well and ways to assist swallowing are recommended. My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers for your wife and you.
Kyle- I am sorry to read about you disturbed sleep last night and even sorrier to read your self assessment. Good luck with the doctor. Take care.
…. It seems I can buy some green bananas. All good.- Drew. Great news excepting the lost truck keys. Good luck with the antibiotics. I hope HD antibiotics resolve your ear infection.
Eric- What a horrible burden for an 8 y.o. to carry for the rest of his life. And what a powerful way to self heal and honor the fallen hero airmen. Tony is a hero too. Thanks for sharing.
My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

32°F and thin clouds this morning, going up to 46° today. 60° and thunderstorms tomorrow.
We go through 1-1/2 gallons of milk about every two weeks. One gallon is chocolate milk, most of which I drink, and the other 1/2 gallon is regular vitamin D whole milk. We rarely don't get through the chocolate milk before it starts to go bad. I'm more of a "smell and taste" checker than expiration date. The whole milk, though, we rarely get through before it goes bad. We have a regional dairy company called Prairie Farms Dairy that used to be the supplier for Walmart's Great Value brand milk, but I think they get it elsewhere these days. We usually buy the Great Value brand, as it's much less expensive than the PF label (even when it used to be the same milk). I don't know that we've ever had any issues finding the 1/2 gallon whole milk.
Nice reference, BEF. :laughing:

The barn fire last week that killed 8 horses was caused by a failed extension cord to a block heater on a tractor.

That's a good idea, except . . . . the only reason I don't use it up is because I need to lose weight instead of adding more weight. Store bought ice cream with milk, flavors, fruit, etc. in our blender makes great drinks that I'd like to have often except for the weight problem.
