Good morning!!!!

[mostly_gas]

Good evening all. 44F for the start, overcast light rain. .9 inch in the gauge, light wind. Fog, drizzle and light rain through the day, wind stayed light, high temp is forecast to be 56F at midnight. Cold front coming through tonight, and while it will cool off, no snow in forecast, and will be dry when temps below freezing. Rekindle fire in insert, decided to work on chain saw, not running at full throttle (acts lean), removed carb, checked fuel line for softening, look for junk in carb (replaced recent), but found none. put all back together and chainsaw now cutting with full power at full throttle :confused3::thumbsup: Did not get a nap.
RNG pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!!

RNG, can you check back with the lady for inspection schedule? hope you can get your tubing soon and get started
Buckeye bet it is fun driving the bat mobile in traffic. Best commuter cat I had was an old Buick station wagon that had been in at least 3 wrecks. I wore old clothes to work so folks stayed clear

Rib roast turned out great, nice cook that satisfied both rare and medium rare palettes and tender. Thinking I might break out the slicer tomorrow. Would make excellent sandwich.

Wx never did break enough for doing the concrete.

Good morning, the temp here is 1°F and going to a high of 12. Wind E 9 mph. Snow is in the forecast, starting this morning. Up to 10".

I took a look at the radar and unless the storm takes a wild turn to the north it will miss me totally. It won't miss Huntsville and Dwight, though. The tractor is plugged in any way and I will leave it plugged in all weekend if I have to.


Have a good day all

29 and already snowing/sleeting. Was hoping to get a couple of things done outside before the forecasted rain got here.

BEF, hope your wife's dad is better. My wife's mother had to be taken by ambulance to emergency center yesterday (protocol at her assisted living facility after a fall). She fell on the sidewalk while my wife was bringing in groceries with her. Walnut sized bump on her head and sore hip...nothing broken and no concussion.

Buppies, hope you're healing after your fall.

Mostly, glad you got your chainsaw running.

24 after a low of 19 around midnight. Snow, changing to rain by midday with some heavy rain later is the current guess. High of 44.

I went to the doctor with a cut on my shin, since I had the septic cellulitis they put me on antibiotics as a precaution.
Ellen went later and also has antibiotics for a sinus infection.
Her mentally challenged sister was taken to the hospital with poor kidney function. Hers appears to be dehydration.

I got a call from both nurse and moms doctor, who is also my doctor, recommending she be put strictly on palliative care, so I guess the countdown begins for her. She would be 97 April 15. I am not ready to face the world without my mom, but I guess we never are.

Good day and prayers my friends.

Went threw my recent pictures. Was trying to get a picture of the front moving in yesterday. I got photo bombed. Here is a woodpecker.

Nice photo...do you ever put suet out for the woodpeckers? Ours love it. I also make a mix of peanut butter, lard, and corn meal that seems to be their favorite, along with the nuthatches, cardinals and just about any of the birds that find it. I make hangers for the mix by drilling 4 1.5 inch diameter holes in 4 inch diameter by about 15 inches long section of cedar trunk (from our Christmas tree) and filling with the mix. Use an eye bolt lag screw to hang it.

Prayers sent, Randy.

Morning everyone! 7 here with a high of 28. Pellet stove is humming this morning. Looks like we are on the line between 6-8 and 3-5 inches of snow for the evening storm. Need to head out to the garage and oil the chain for the blower and top off the fuel tank. Think I will wait till it warms up some.
Looks like the steroids took care of my gout problem. Now that I'm off of them my acid reflux has gone back to normal. Blood pressure has come down with the meds so all and all I'm doing well.(knock on wood I have felt great for 2 days.Shhh.)
Have a safe uneventful trip Drew.
Sorry for your parent issues topop and BEF. Hope your injury stays minor topop.
Jay-Looks like you, I ,Thomas and the rest of our new england members will be playing with tractors! Stay warm and safe!
Sorry if I missed anyone it's hard to keep up with all the post here.
262 days till Thomas time.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Minus 1 right now...high today about 20 and snow today...mostly tonight into Sunday. Prediction is for 4-7 inches. I'll keep up with the walks, but the drive can wait until tomorrow.
Chores will be a dump run this morning and picking up my BP meds...unless the wifey wants to go shopping before the snow.
