Good morning!!!!

[check]

Pleasant surprise yesterday.
I purchased a 10,000 watt generator as I had blown my older 6.5 due to my stupidity.

Delivery was via a pickup and he had a sheet of 3/4 plywood to slide it out.
That worked just fine.

He asked where I'd like it and I jokingly said 'in the wood shed' and he promptly pushed it down the slope (on the snow) tore off the cardboard packing, opened the shed door and placed it exactly where I'd want it.

WOW, service!
When I tipped him a $20 he asked was I sure.
I sure was!

I later went back to the store and commended him to his boss.

Hey, Piloon, congrats! Pics?

32 high of 50 maybe breezy but that’s all. Good intentions yesterday failed two tires blow out on trailer hauling tractor hoe no work done but nobody hurt so all is well

Thanks Kyle

Prayers for all

Glad no one hurt on the blow outs. I would hate to have a trailer flat while towing. Someone Had one up the road last week, trailer full of round bales with a blown tire.

Prayers for the young one with cancer. I’ve had 2 young coworkers die from cancer in my career. One never knows what life throws at you.

Drinking last cup of coffee. 14° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 38° with lots of sun. Trip to Port Huron went well. Low traffic volume in both directions. Everyone must have getting ready or watching the U of M vs MSU game. At least a Michigan team won. Took my aunt home. Sure was nice having someone other than a dog to talk to. Hope to get whole house generator oil changed today. Then NASCAR in afternoon.
A little report on furnace air duct sealing I had done last April. The 2 rooms that were always cold now are with 1° of rest of the house. Comparing NG usage with similar temperatures from last year. Shows a better than 15% less usage. While the sealing was for comfort in the 2 rooms. I am happy with the NG savings. Because of caring my wife over the summer I did not get a chance to evaluate if there was any savings while using AC.

New tractor, truck and gun. GM is moving along. I need to get busy and something done.

Buppies, special prayers and best wishes for your employee.

RNG, It will not be long and the van will be your everyday driver.

Prayers and best wishes for all.

That is a nice gun. Have me wanting one. I’m under prepared in that area.

Saw on FB that Rural King was being pressured to curb back gun sales, and they responded they would support the legal sale of guns and support the 2A.

Was grilling chicken last night and the grease pan caught on fire. Pushed grill further out on the deck away from house, ran in got a little water in a pan and tossed it on, which put out most of the flames. Got some more and doused the rest. People say don’t use water on a grease fire, but it’s always worked for me on the grill. Guess I better clean the pan.
The chicken was ok, just slightly burnt in spots.

Wife not feeling well this morning with bad headache, then my son said he wasn’t feeling well (stomach). So won’t make morning worship. I haven’t tried driving yet.

My walking getting better, but get lots of pain in evenings in the legs. Still lots of tingling in feet and hands. I get real sudden, sharp pain in the right

Ron, a good friend’s son goes to MSU. Was hoping they would win. My friend is from Michigan ( he went to MSU) and his dad is retired from auto industry up in your area.

I told Gracie she couldn稚 get in my lap.

She doesn't look happy, but you'd need a smaller dog or a bigger lap to make that work!:laughing:

Glad the blow outs didn't hurt anyone. I had old trailer tires de-laminate last spring trying trying to haul home some mushroom compost. Trailer tires age. Usually the age kills them before the tread wears out for a lot of people. I got a great deal on some from Walmart. They had to order them in, and I had to wait for hours to get them installed (for free) due to our small Walmart's auto department's number of staff. I buy trailer tires by the number of plies they are rated for.

The bucks are rutting around here too. Seen 2 that have gotten hit on the highways last week.

Time to go to church....
