Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

good morning all. Warm morning, going up to almost 80 today until the storms reach us around dinner time.

Prayers for the families in New Zealand who just went through a terrible tragedy. Hard to believe reading the headlines, what an awful thing to take place. Becoming all too common also. We have some TBN members there, hope none were affected. We are one world.

Need to move some implements around and get the finish mower on the larger Massey. Will probably have to wait until tomorrow when my neighbor can help me with the pto shaft. I don't have enough sheds to cover all the implements, have to make decisions as to what sits out, like the disc harrow. I'll put a tarp on it, which helps keep rain and pine straw off it, though it does seem to be an invite for critters to live under there, usually rabbits.

All of you affected by this latest snow storm, be careful out there.

Yes Eric I’m excited to see them

64 and windy going to 75 and storms.

L4N, that's a lot of snow and wind. You and LS win on that mix.

Buppies, I hope you find a 1873 you like for the right price.

Ron, the 20 or so turkeys were back at my place yesterday, but they haven't found the feeder I have out on the other side of the hill. But the squirrels, raccoons, blue jays, crows, deer, and everything else has.

Visited more assisted living communities over the last two days. Never would have thought their were so many until you go looking. Trying to narrow down to 3 to show my wife's parents.

Anyone ever done one of the Lifeline Screenings? Got an offer from the NRA for this affiliated company to do 4 screenings for $135 - carotid artery (plaque), heart rhythm (atrial fib) abdominal aortic aneurysm, and peripheral arterial disease screening. Plus for $10, osteoporosis screening. Wondering about the quality.

I'm hoping the ground will have dried out enough to go load the tractor up on the firewood I cut several days ago, and bring to the splitter this morning before the rain returns.

We got our Costco rebate check but forgot to pick up a cherry pi while we were there .

Let's see. Snow going sideways. Snowing blowing upside down. Lightning bolts shooting through the snow. So now do you feel like you've gotten your fill of snow yet this year, Bill?:confused2:

Nope. That 'looked' like snow in the I.R. It was hard rain when you stick your nose outside.
Still raining now and the temp is 35 and will go up to at least 37°F. Wind SW 15 gusting to 36 mph. Rain mixed with snow today.

I was going to scrape the snow down to gravel on the driveway today, but it having rained all night, I think I will pass. It's supposed to get colder tonight, tomorrow, Sunday and Monday, with snow so I will wait.

A conserve energy day, I will go and get the mail at the end of my road AFTER it stops raining or sometime between now and Monday.

My taxes are done and the accountant tells me I have a little bit under 8 grand coming back.
I deliberately over pay them while I am working and making the 'big bucks' so in the spring I have 'start up' money (three weeks between start day and first pay check) when I go back to work and also so I can get some things done on the house (which will come off next years' taxes).
Others argue that I should pay the minimums and pocket the money or bank it. I have huge holes in my pockets and money doesn't stay in them long. The bank doesn't pay any interest anyway, so the goobermint sits on my money and I get it in one lump sum in spring. Win, win for me.

Today is POETS day.
Piss Off Early Tomorrows Saturday.

Stay safe all

48 now heading to 60! Rain and wind but I’ll take it. Looks like Templeton made the news yesterday. Momma bear and two cubs were moved from their den next to the highway to a safer location in the deep woods. That exit is about a mile from my house. Good to see everything turned out ok for the bears!

Mother bear, two cubs moved from Route 2 median; highway reopened

Good morning. 45 and supposed to slowly go down all day. Got to 75 or so before the storms came through last night. A lot of lightning/thunder/rain but wind was not bad. Possible tornado touched down further north. Power went out several times during the most intense time of lightning. Interesting night.

Suppose I ought to get my head into the day. Time for coffee #2.

Everyone have a safe and good day.

 

[Thomas]

39F cloudy upper 50's for high on/off showers...have felt those temps since mid October.

Friday :dance1: only plans after work date night w/Mrs.
E muffin feed little critters slow roll to work.

Enjoy the day all.

Coffee has finished brewing. 40° with cloudy skies and wind. Heading to 35° with rain and snow throughout the day. Wife caught my cold. No OT today.

I need to get out and cleanup a mess I made when I mowed and mulched leaves in front yard into the woods. That has caused water to flood parts of front yard. Yesterday I decided to use tractor to make a path the let water drain. That worked to let some of the water drain. But I need to use some hand tools to make it drain better. Why not use the tractor you ask. You would think after reading Ricks and other problems about leaving ruts in lawn I would learn. Nope, left a nice mess. :confused3: Now have that to cleanup today.

Turkeys in picture yesterday did not stay long. A storm came in with hail. Sent them scattering.

Buppies, good luck with gun search.

Sad story from New Zealand.

Prayers for all.

Good Morning All.

Thanks wngsprd and Ron

Same here, except my refund is much, much smaller. I guess you and I just aren't real smart money managers.

39 degrees here this morning, going for a sunny 56. We don't have any rain or snow in the foreseeable future, so I even got the car washed yesterday at Buc-ee's.
