33 right now...high in the low 40's today.
Got 3" or so...pretty wet snow. Did the drive last night and I'll need to clear the front walk before work this morning

That's exactly why I got an electric splitter (which Kyle has now) and sold my never used 3point splitter.

My mom thought moth balls would be good to get rid of ants, wrong, that is poison your breath, had to air out the house.

70˚F clear skies, going hiking.

Good thought on the moth balls. I'll only use them outside, and at night where the skunk went under the porch. I don't want other animals getting to them. Besides skunks, we also have a stray cat, raccoons, foxes, rabbits, and opossum coming around at night, and squirrels and chipmunks during the day. No bears recently, and the deer rarely come up into the yard. I see the critters when I turn on the spotlights at times...but you never really know what is going on at night until you put up a couple of train cams in the yard. It can get pretty busy some nights.

33 high of 59 today no rain hopefully concrete did not freeze

Prayers for all

Good morning. Dark and dismal again this morning. Almost 3 hours after "sunrise" and I can't see the hands on the kitchen clock, only 4 yards from where I am sitting. I should get up and turn on the lights, however there is a dog snoring away on my lap and he doesn't intend moving until he hears the postman intruding on his territory.

Jim, apt name for ether.

 

[wngsprd]

32 and frosty and starry out there. Should see 57 later.

Hope you had a special day, David! (Even more special than every day at your place must be)...and maybe they even let you win at H&F .

Roy, the snowman!

Don, read a big article yesterday on Del Webb's first Sun City near Phoenix, back in 1960...said cars were backed up on the highway for 2 miles on the day it opened. Now has 38,000 residents and still going strong. The article went on to talk about how certain cities will have an over supply of houses as baby boomer generation dies/or moves to assisted living. because the younger generations have settled elsewhere. Arizona and Florida may be hardest hit because of so many retirees moving there.

My splitter started in 2 pulls yesterday afternoon...much warmer air temp and I didn't prime it as much. Finished all my splitting in time to see a bald eagle fly by. We had 3 land in the trees recently. Seem to be more common around here. There is a big nesting site preservation area not too far away (as the crow/eagle flies).

There is an advertisement on the bottom of this TBN page with the best looking sub/hoagie...making me hungry. We don't have any "Penn Station" restaurants around here. Is their food good?

Good morning all. Nice weather here this week, fair, sunny today, high in upper 60s.
off to get truck inspected this morning, then more blowing leaves.
Finished the last of my stew, last leftovers tasted the best.

awful picture of wreath on barn, but at least I got it done yesterday afternoon. Spent too much time going up and down ladder, and I hate heights anyway.
Clipped the extension cord onto the metal door bar with plastic ties, then promptly snapped off all the ties closing the door. Major groan.
Up I went again...

Will put up rest of wreaths today, one at end of lane, five down the lane and one on barn.

Good morning,
the temp is 31 ｰF and climbing to a high of 39. Wind WNW 8 mph. Increasing cloudiness.
The weatherman on another site is saying we are going to get a big storm on Wednesday. I won't hold my breath.

I gotta go to town today, I am searching for a socket to fit the anode nut. So far, no joy. I can't find my vernier so I measured it with a tape measure and it looks like either 1" or 1 &1/16".
After the hardware store and some groceries will be energy conservation time. Keep in mind that I will not be leaving the house until after 12:00 hrs, the mail usually gets here by then.


Have a good day all

 

[Thomas]

Wishing you many many trips around the sun David.

Enjoy the day all.

Poured second cup of coffee. 36° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 49° with periods of sun. GD spent 4 hours deep cleaning house yesterday. Got a good attitude about how to make some money. Plus a honor student at school. Never got to leaf blowing. All though she wanted to do it. Got to save something for me to do. On the list again for today. Need to pick up new glasses and get some grocery shopping done before company gets here on Wednesday.

Wngsprd, I have been seeing a lot of critters on my cameras lately. Similar to your list. But adding a Ground hog and Opossum. See a cat and Pepe at the feeders at the same time. They do keep there distance.

Looking, my problem was not finding right size socket for anode rod. Was breaking to loose and keeping tank for rotating. Ended up using electric impact to break it loose.

Drew, the last of a pot of stew is always the best. Especially it's a couple of days later. Neon and Vega were throw away cars. Drive them until doors fall off. They both had welded in place door hinges.

Don, moth balls for ant control not good. Hope your mom is ok. I find that Terro Liquid Ant Killer works very well for in house ants. But we do not have TX type ants.

Buppies, did you pour concrete yesterday?

Good Morning All.

We were given quite a tour of that Sun City by a gentleman at the Visitor Center on February 6, 1990. How time flies. That was a long time ago.

Good Monday Morning. It's 53° and clear here even though NWS is trying to convince me that it's really foggy? High today is forecast to get to 80°.

I'm planning to hook up the 3-point chain harrow today and level gopher mounds in two pasture as well as the areas where three of the burn piles were. Maybe light another burn pile this morning if winds stay calm.

I cooked some country ribs, in the Instant Pot, for dinner last evening. They came out so tender, that it was a bit of a challenge getting them to the serving plate in one piece. 40 minutes, then a 15 minute natural pressure release.

Drew ... your stew looks great! I'll likely make beef stew next weekend as a nice change from Thanksgiving leftovers.

WNG ... my suggestion of moth balls was less than clear. Sorry. You only use them outside and they're not intended to kill anything. They will "repel" skunks, possums, etc. from areas where you don't want them setting up home. At our prior ranch in Fayette County, the house had pier and beam foundation. Skunks thought under the front porch was a great place. I could shoot the moth balls under the porch with a leaf blower. Viola ... No more skunks and only had to retreat every 2-3 years.

Looking ... if I'm not mistaken water heater anodes need a 1 1/16" socket. Make sure to use Teflon tape or pipe joint dope on your replacement anode. Thanks for the reminder ... I need to replace the anode in the water heater in the shop living quarters. We have two Rinnai tankless water heaters in the house.

Hope everyone has an excellent start to your week.

Prayers to all.

I read that article also and can see the reasoning behind it, but then there is this article 219 Real Estate Trends for Baby Boomers, Gen Xers and Millennials that says the opposite because the baby boomers are waiting later in life to downsize and living longer and the housing market is still booming - go figure. The house for sale on our street had a contract on it in a month and the sales of new and used homes here is up from the previous year. The Florida villages and Phoenix Sun City are much bigger. We also have a healthy tech businesses creating new jobs in the Austin and Round Rock area and we are considered the suburbs of these towns. Drew can give a report on the housing market the next few years as he will be a baby boomer downsizing also.

Good morning! 55˚F heading to the 80s lots of sunshine!

Happy birthday David.

We visited friends there in Feb of 1993. They took us to Grand Canyon, we climbed squaw peak, had lots of fun.

This was their house.

We’ve known this couple since the 80s. Her husband died yrs ago, and she is now in assisted living near us. He was a car guy, who restored old junk cars and made them look like new. He was probably the first kubota owner I knew.

Has anyone done research on door cameras for the home and can make a recommendation or where to start looking and what options are needed?

I have lots of outdoor cameras, none doorbell. They will constantly pick up motion, every branch blowing, every leaf blowing, even cloud shadows passing by. I had to turn off phone notifications, was constant.
Don’t know if ring filters them better.

I use the Ring doorbell and it works a described! You can set the sensitivity many ways. I have the base model and you do not need to have a doorbell wiring installed.
