Good Morning Everyone!!!!
It was a 36ºF hazy red sky sunrise for today’s low temperature; increasing cloudiness and 47ºF presently; and I anticipate a rainy afternoon with high temperature in the high 50ºF’s. Brogen, AKA Droolius Barkus, got me moving earlier than normal due to some unknown animal activity outside. I had planned on doing some finishing rotary cutting with the NH, but it is still too wet and it looks like the rain expected here later today is moving in a little more quickly than I had anticipated.
“… Maybe my last Toyota servicing.”- David I am sorry to read about your generator challenges and your Tundra. Good luck. I/We have to arrange our own towing as well due to location and distance, and I will not give the closest tow service any of our business due to some BS they tried to pull on my Wife years ago.

In addition, I will not set foot in any Toyota dealership nowadays due to their past unscrupulous business/“service” practices.

I am “married” to a local independent Tundra owning mechanic. He and his Tundra owning mechanic Brother are honest, reliable, and much cheaper than the dealerships. They would rather repair a failing component than replace it.
Eric- If I do not balance our different heat sources sufficiently while running our wood stove it becomes a sauna here very quickly. I/We can not get USPS deliveries here at home, but I have given a couple of UPS, FEDEX, and DHL drivers some rather disturbing “visuals.”

:embarrassed:
Rich- I am sorry to read about your company iPhone as well as your task focused leadership.
“…. I am not sure what I will get up to today.”- Bill The weather here is not cooperating today, but I do know that later Wifey and I need to go to the “Big City” for groceries and afterwards a really decent Italian restaurant for an early dinner. They make an awesome good eats seafood stew there.
Billy- I am happy to read that your round trip went w/o incident and you are home safe and sound, MIL’s house has been sold. I am originally from PA; the deer roadkill #’s have always been high. I still try to avoid driving during the times and weather that deer are active.
RonJH- Thanks for sharing your picture. It is high quality to me. You have a really nice property

I always follow the weather, but once I see one of those crazy 240 hour out models depicting snow I tend to step it up a notch. There was a delusional doozy about a week ago depicting a nor’easter around Halloween. There will probably be a rain event in that timeframe, but no snow. It has happened before.
BEF- I am sorry to read about your work dream. I still get some “what if” work dreams on rare occasions.
I hope that everyone dealing with aggravations today gets some + resolutions, those mending continue mending, and the rest of us avoid aggravations and remain healthy.
My + thoughts and prayers.
