Good morning!!!!

David/Sodamo, fun to watch your project come along. Looks great.
I keep looking at those metal roofs you are putting on
and all I can think of is what happens in high winds? Will they stay on?
seems that wind would get under them and rip things apart, like Buckeye's barn.
Short of hurricanes, do you get a lot of wind there?
Does the open nature help the wind go through without issue?

Hi everyone:
Looks like 8 to start with a high of 42ish. Haven't had that here in a while, Should be a welcome feeling before tommorrow's snow and freezing rain. I have a faucet and sink repair at the apartment house today. Shut off doesn't and faucet squeaks and drips. Oh well, I have all the tools to repair or replace the pipes if needed.
Prayers for all in need!

Need to pour first cup of coffee. 14° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 38° with mostly cloudy skies. Rain starts late in the day. OT, Sam Club and Costco visits went well yesterday. Nice day to be out. My sore throat has gotten worse. Going to be a conserve energy day.

My aunt is still about the same. Tried to talk to her yesterday. Totally confused. Could not understand what she was saying. Thanks for the prayers.

Prayers for all.

Good Morning All.

-10°F and going to a high of 36. Wind WNW 11 mph. Sunny!
We will pay for the two days of sunny weather. Snow starting tonight at midnight and ongoing until Monday afternoon.

We will get the rest of the loose wood in today and then I can start the long slow process of clearing a 12' wide lane to the downed tree. I also need to clear out in front of the shelter the Jeep and backho are in. That wont take long.

A trip to town today to get some bar oil. The saw came with the extra battery ( the vendor charged that on up for me) and the one that came with the saw had 30% charge, so I charged it up with the better charger in a half an hour. Put it on charge at 7:20 P.M. (cheap rates start at 7 P.M.) and it was all charged up and the charger automatically shut down at 7:50 P.M.

The stray cat managed to last all winter. He was at the window this morning mooching for food and milk. I found out I am not the only one feeding him. The neighbours feed him, too. I will NOT bring him in and get him 'fixed'. We already have a tom here. He might be an 'it', but he is still a tomcat and one tomcat is enough in a colony.

Have a good day all

2 degrees right now...high in the mid-30's today.
Need to make a dump run, then pick up some beer...that's about it...

Don are you trying to replace Drew with the busiest schedule.

Nope, I'm retired. In fact yesterday I did nothing, except place 3K lbs. of stone and sand around the yard. While I was out in the yard the neighbor came over and was telling me about her editing a book. I looked her up and she used to be a writer for "Bewitched". So many of the neighbors have had fascinating careers and are from all over the US.

I'm trying to get caught up on house projects so I can clear my schedule for wood working classes in April and of course working with that winning tractor.

A warm morning at 69˚F with a chance of rain. I need to check to see If my potatoes have pushed up and we need to straighten up the garden's tractor shed after the exterminator drilled the slab.

We have approximately 40 signs to install on the trails to finish them up before the ribbon cutting. The last time they opened new trails was about 2 years ago and 200 people showed up. This time there might be more because at the same time the new Amenity center, which is at the trailhead will also have their grand opening. The trail blazers got so much done while I was playing on the beach, but hey, I'm retired.

Weather started off wet and blustery this morning, so it was full waterproofs on to feed the sheep. The plastic sack I was using to carry the feed must have been nibbled by mice overnight, so when I returned there was a long trail of wet mushy sheep nuts across the length of the concrete yard to clear up :confused3:

After that I had an excuse to temporarily neglect my wife and get re-acquainted with the Iseki. A friend who keeps horses came with a trailer for hay as they were almost out of feed. Then I took two more big bales to a farm across the road who had run out completely.

Now I'm back having a late but very welcome cup of tea. Fortunately the grandkids are arriving later than usual today, so I may even have a couple more minutes to catch up on a little more tbn before I help Julie get showered and dressed (which isn't exactly a chore ) .


Thanks for the info David, I will have a good look at that later.

34 and foggy, going to 42. Had some snow yesterday morning and then in the evening with rain...nothing stuck.

Ron and BEF - prayers for your aunts.

Bird, sorry you lost your bunny friend. Ours seem to come and go, but it always fun to see the young ones growing up.

Randy, great story about getting to listen to Buddy and Carlos - great music. ...and Happy Anniversary!

Rick, I now have that Bee Gees tune stuck in my head.

L4N, I need to "download" you firewood app.

CWB, hope the jury duty is interesting, if you have to go.

Spring is near...found some salamander and frog egg clusters in the creek's side channel yesterday. A few forsythia blooms have popped open to test the weather, and the daffodils have already declared meteorological spring.

Yesterday the forecast was a low of 26, so was hoping the ground would be frozen at first light so I could use the tractor to bring my firewood rounds up the hill to the splitter. Nope, never got below 32, and the ground was softer than I wanted. So will wait for another freeze, or dry weather, whichever comes first.

Yesterday visited another assisted living community for my wife's parents. We went to Costco after the visit and I realized that the best pizza place I now know of is Costco. I'd say that is sad, but it is really good and $1.99 for a huge slice (760 calories, though), and the other places I've gone seem to have gone down hill. Still searching.

Today may be my last woodburning day for the season. Not sure I'm bringing any more onto the porch, and supply is very low. RNG, I've been placing my wood pallets up on cinder blocks, old treated 6x6 pieces or other "scrap" foundations to keep them off the ground. I have a couple of plastic pallets, but the carry all doesn't fit in their "slots" so use them to store implements.

16F clear mid 30's for high.
March lion will do some roaring tomorrow,2-4 inches snow mix with rain towards the end along with gusty winds.

Somehow plastic pail from the shed was near deer feeder :confused3: so I left it there to see what would happen,11 deer show up about dusk to feed and 3 young deer decided to kick the pail around :laughing: old deer didn't like that one bit.
Plans for today... dump run,stop two places for critter food,Mrs. to super market,check game cam,fuel for pickup and hook up plow to pick than take day as it comes.
Time for E muffin and raze the kittens.

Enjoy the day all.
