Good evening all. 38F for the start, overcast, calm wind. Sun peeked out about 1, wind stayed light, and high temp was 50F. Chapel to start the day, then make breakfast, then into conservation of energy mode. Napped early afternoon, then watch the Cowgirls play poorly after last week good game.
Eric appreciate the commentary on your hearing aide experience. especially the last remark.
Billy sounds like you had a nice family get together.
Drew sounds like nice laid back day.
Rick like your puller :cool:
Ted sounds like a nice Christmas prep day.
Ron walker look different.
Buckeye the fact your parent(s) can't do it any more is usually the hardest part in dealing with them. Nice that your father realized that and sold them on his own.
Randy sound like you are getting better and behaving :thumbsup:
Ron will be interesting to see how she handle the backward brake usage. Somebody made a bicycle with backward steering. Made for some interesting videos :D
prayers for all.

A beautiful bright sliver of moon shining in the deepest of blue sky was waiting to greet me as soon as I opened the back door this morning. In the distance I could hear (un-aided !) a donkey braying away, as if setting the scene for a nativity play.

My daughter and her family are arriving this afternoon and Christmas is just around the corner. To top it all, the days are now getting lighter, at this latitude we get to enjoy a an extra second of daylight today and I don't intend to squander any of it. Winter is sometimes a miserable time of year, yet it can also offer the best of times too.

LS, you look to have been having fun. Has your MIL got her big surprise yet ?

Rick, you have an impressive tree puller, a good festive challenge would be to pull a spare cracker with it. Oh hang on, can it really be true that you don't have Christmas crackers in America ? If that is so, perhaps I should explain. First, imagine an empty one of these rolls being gift wrapped :confused2:

Inside is folded a paper hat that is worn to make everyone look equally ridiculous during Christmas lunch (Only the sulkiest adolescent would ever think to spoil the fun by not wearing the hat :) ), a slip of paper with a really bad joke, a small gift and most importantly it goes BANG when pulled between two people. Only one of them is "lucky" enough to win the contents, but Christmas being a time for sharing, we make sure no one goes without.

good morning all.
45 going up to 56 today with light rain throughout much of day.
Nice dinner last night, the chicken pot pie, made in Cape Cod, was yummy, just packed full of chicken with a lower than average amount of salt used, yeah.
Should be a quiet day today.
Mostly you must be awfully fit to do those miles. How long does a modern bicycle tire last? Old ones seemed to dry rot faster than worn out.

Good morning,
temp here is 30°F and going to a high of 39. Wind SW 13 mph. Mostly cloudy. UV index is low. As if at 39°F people are going to take their cloths off to get a sun tan. lol

I am going to the city today and get my month end supplies. Then it will be back home and take the tarp down that has been protecting the open side of my lean-to. the lean-to will be coming down in the spring.


Have a good day all

After I got to work, I realized I'm actually supposed to be off on vacation. Well, now that I'm here, I'll hang in for a few hours...
