Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Good morning,
temp is 23°F and will be going down to 14 for the daytime high. Wind N 9 mph. Snow. About an inch coming. Another inch later today.

There is not much on the list for today, so I think I will conserve energy.


Have a safe day all

Coffee taste extra good this morning. 34° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 25° with cloudy skies. Dr. visit did not show any problems yesterday. Dropped my glasses yesterday. took me 30 minutes to find lens that fell out. good thing new lenses are on order. Take dogs in for grooming today. Then go to Credit Union to see if I need to close account. That should be enough for today.

LS, good sized holes for trees. Hope they make it. Every time we planted a tree put a few pounds of blood meal in with it.

RNG, SUPER STAR !!! :thumbsup::drink: By the time solar and van are done you will loose that and become a Epic Contributor. Is there a suit for that?

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

buckeye, if your vehicle is an automatic, then you could use your left foot on the brake like I do. That will take some of the working pressure off your right leg.

Having been a police officer AND having supervised the department's safety section, I learned to absolutely forbid that practice. It works just fine as long as there's NEVER anything unexpected or an emergency. But when something unexpected happens, you may stomp down on the brake with your left foot AND the gas with your right foot at the same time. In an unexpected emergency, or even in a collision, there's a tendency to push down with both feet, and that's OK as long as neither foot is near the accelerator pedal.

54 going to 60 but later will be windy.

Ron, my coffee tastes extra good today, too.

Buppies, hope your anniversary was special yesterday and your bumps and bruises are better.

David, Kekoa and Kalani (?) look happy in their new travel home.

Kyle, I'm with you. If your neighbors want a fence, they should build new on their side of the property line. Otherwise, they are "squatting" on your side. Doesn't sound like much if it almost right on the line, but what if someone has a fence he purposefully built 3 or 6 or 8 feet inside the line so he can walk or ride the outside to do maintenance?

Yesterday, got haircut, went to gym, worked on taxes.

Boy, the roads sucked (even more then usual) on this morning's drive to work.
At least it was wet enough we didn't get any white-outs!

I never thought of that as a reason for only using your right foot to brake. I agree. My fellow worker and I ordered new company vehicles when we got to 80k miles. I never needed new brakes in that time. He had at least 2 brake jobs in that many miles. He was a left foot brake person.
But until Buckeyes feet and legs get better. It may be the best way to make it to and from work.

30F couple more plus degrees high for today.
Snowing since early morning 2"+ about 2-3 inches more to fall before storm comes to end early evening,driveway soft so might want until tomorrow to plow since the temp headed for upper single numbers.

Outside chores were done last evening so it's E muffin time. :licking:
Plans for today... :confused3:

Enjoy the day all.

Wife is President of our HoA. And I follow the rules ��

Ditto. Nice cap on your truck. The dog's are saying "Stop messing around with pictures, LETS GO!!!" Do you ever take them to the beach?

I did not say you had to let them on your property. Your question was: "Can I force them to build their new fence on their side, leaving mine in place?"
my SHORT ANSWER was no you cannot.
I think you read something else into it. The long answer is you cannot force him to build their fence on their side. You can't force them to build anything on their land.

I don't see why they would need to get on your land to build a fence. I have built a lot of fence that backed up against thick brush and had only access to one side.

Ok, I misunderstood you. Let's rephrase. IF they build a new fence, can I make them leave mine in place? If you say no, why must I let them on my land? They want to clear out the tree growth that has occurred to build a new fence.

Left foot braking is dangerous. When I was 16 (new driver), I was driving the company's Dodge Crew Cab 1 ton truck downtown about 30mph. Someone pulled out of their parking lot space in front of me and I inadvertently used left foot braking. This was in 1976, no seat belts. The braking force slid me forward hard, making me mash the brakes even harder. I ended up locking all 4 wheels up and skidding to a stop, with a bit of throttle still applied. Glad I was only doing about 30-35. Learned my lesson. The left foot is for standing off in case of emergency stop.

Good Morning!!!! 48F @ 4:15AM. Windy at times with rain. High around 50F. Winds SSE at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall near a half an inch. Higher wind gusts possible.
Looks like the front is still off to the west, but that it'll be done passing through by early afternoon. Not going to be a very wet storm, and early predictions of snow are unlikely to pan out, but we've probably seen the high temperature for the day.

Nice work with the BH, Ted. Practice makes perfect.:thumbsup:

The cap looks a perfect match for the new Ridgeline, David. Caps on my trucks always seem to leak eventually, though.:confused3:

HOA rules can be somewhat capricious, based on who's on the board, whereas zoning laws can still change, but not as easily. And I've never been much good at predicting my future needs, so the less restrictions, the better, at least for me.

Never been a left foot brake man, but when I broke my right leg and left wrist at the same time, you can bet I was a left foot gas'n'brake man for a while.:shocked: You should'a seen the looks I got getting out of the truck wearing two casts and a pair of crutches!:laughing:

Good meeting with the solar contractor yesterday. We got all the location stuff nailed down, and I've updated the site plan with the new info. Also got clarification on the electrical single line drawing, and spent most of the rest of the day coming up with a bill of materials for the conductors and conduits. We also talked generators, and I learned he's purchased the same Cummins I've been eyeballing, but he paid almost $50 more than the quotes I've received. Also made a "reservation" for the neighbor's big trailer, but it doesn't look like the weather's gonna cooperate for another week.

Only got one piece of mail yesterday, but it was the bill for the homeowner's insurance. As I feared, it was a 40% increase, up 60% in the three years I've been with that company. It's not like I've got much choice, but I'll be talking with my agent today to see if I can reduce or eliminate some of the more superfluous coverages included in the policy. And see of there are any providers that are new to the area. Then there's the firetruck and whole house sprinkler system...

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!
