Good morning!!!!

Thanks Mostly. Don’t know about easier, experience gets the kinks out of the theory. Should have it by the time #6 is in place.

We live up on a rise in a windy place, so on days like today, when the general forecast is for 60-70 mph plus winds and heavy rain, we can be fairly sure we are in for a battering. My wife is getting concerned that I left her car too close to a neighbour's crumbling wall. I ought to go out and move it to put her mind at rest, plus it will let nature's car wash clean the other side.

Kyle, I always put a ton of water back into the sceptic. Best also to have it emptied at a time of year when the ground won't be saturated. I can't think of a place where I would want to keep one of those poo test probes, so will stay with having it emptied once every 3 years, they charge us regular suckers 150 pounds.

Sodamo, that looks a wider span than I first expected, great excuse to get the tractor out. Are flip-flops and a straw hat mandatory safety wear for construction sites on Big Island ?

Good morning, t'was a chilly night last night was. -18°F now and going to a high of 27. Wind SSE 9 mph. Flurries.

About an inch of snow flurries coming today and 4" of snow overnight tonite. Seat time tomorrow for sure.

Energy conservation today in preparation for the plowing tomorrow.


Have a safe say all

Drinking first cup of coffee. 23° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 31° with snow in afternoon. No plans for today. Maybe some NASCAR. No pictures of snow moon yesterday. Clouds all night. But did get a front yard picture for Eric. After neighbor finally took his garbage cans in.

I have been trying to get pictures of the Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers at my feeds. They are not very cooperative. Here is Downy. Then Hairy. Big difference in size and length of beak.The Downy is a male, Hairy is a female. Males are usually larger.


Mostly, weight helps with stabilizing my hold on lens. Bracing elbow to my chest. All my lenses have Image/Optical Stabilization. Which helps a lot with getting a blur free picture. Even then moon was bouncing around in the viewer. I give a lot of credit to speed of camera and amount of light still in sky at time I took picture. In total darkness pictures do not come out as good even on a tripod. I need to learn more about how to use more of the many settings that today's camera's have.

Buckeye, good repair on lock. I need to change my deduction also. But waitng until I do not need to file with wife on taxes.

David, good seat time.

Phil, stay warm.

Randy, I thought you had a motor upgrade for Monte Carlo? :confused3:

Drew, hope you are feeling better.

Roy, clogged snow blower not good. I use DuPont Teflon Snow and Ice repellent on my snowblower. It's more durable than PAM.

Looking, -18° F. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Looks like we may not get any - temperatures this winter.

Scrambler, I have not bought a new vehicle in many years. Here in Metro Detroit there are a lot of short lease vehicles in the used market. I have bought what I want for a lot of savings. Do not need to deal with dealer upgrades most of the time. Put your own upgrades on.

Prayers and best wishes for every one.

Good Morning All.

28 and clear going to 52...last sunny day until Friday.

Nice snow ice and bird pix.

Davis, your project is shaping up nicely. Thanks for docu-photoing it.

BEF, never knew how those locks worked.

Eric, I think you're getting the wind we had the other day. Our wind put trees into 3 metro area houses, and knocked out power at half our county schools, so they closed them all. Hope you get through it okay.

I get so involved with my pictures. I forget to thank others for their great pictures. Thanks All. :thumbsup:

Good Morning. It's a humid 64° here this morning and we should see 73° this afternoon. Some much needed rain is expected by lunch time and we have 80% rain chances from Monday thru Wednesday. Fingers crossed.

I'm noticing a reduction in water pressure so need to replace the sediment filter in line before our water softener today.

Then a board meeting to attend at 2 p.m. hopefully it will be short.

If we do actually get some rain today ... I'll work on finishing the mobile base for my 20 ton press.

Ron ... as usual, great pictures!

Randy ... I was going to ask the same question. Thought you had a new crate engine for your MC?

David ... projects go better ... with a good team.

Roy ... hoping you got your snow blower un clogged? Im glad to ... not have to deal with SB's here. Those SB's ... can be SB's.

Hope everyone has a nice a Sunday and end to your weekend.

Prayers to all.
