Checking In:
SWMBO decreed this morning that we go to a Health New England Medicare presentation on their different Medicare plans. It was interesting some cost increases, but more benefits have been added. Based on what the NWS/Boston-Norton is posting for early next week I did some tractor maintenance and prepped the property for potential snow management today once we returned. Some decent eye candy modeled storms.
BEF- That’s great news. I had a lot of side effects from the Gabapentin I weaned myself off as soon as I could. I am happy to read about you are weaning off your meds. Thanks for the pictures.
Steppenwolfe- I am sorry to read about your tree. I had to look up antebellum. I have an ancient “widow making” sugar maple on the backside of our hill. I am amazed that it is still standing. I should at least take a measurement of the trunk.
Drew- A pretty wreathe. Thanks for sharing.
Eric- I’m happy to read that your nasal passages have cleared whatever the source of cure. Yes it’s a different kind of humming

. I like this guy. He’s really smart, but I suspect he’s been downwind while “dipping” a couple of times too many. The slurry does not seem to bother the sheep. They look to be in great shape.

Don’t tell them that we’ll be eating lamb for Thanksgiving. My neighbor was a dairyman and he still rents his pastures out. Between his operation and the operations of some large potato farms around here it can pretty nasty around here if the wind is blowing NNE. One time I thought that our septic system had failed (only a matter of time

)
Bill- That’s a decent snowstorm up your way. I hope you have some decent seat time tomorrow.
RonJH- Nice picture. Thanks for sharing. We do not get House Sparrows here, nor starlings.
RNG- I am happy to see that you are finally getting some and even snow at your elevation.
Paul- Never knew about “soup trucks” until now
Hawkeye- I am sorry to read about your daughter’s allergic reaction to the antibiotic, but happy that new the reason for the hives is known and that the Zyrtec is working.
My + thoughts and prayers.
