Great news BEF

 

[mostly_gas]

Good evening all. 34F for the start, partly cloudy sky, moderate wind. Wind backed off later in the day, sky cleared off and high temp was 42F. Cold front came through early this morning, so tomorrow will be colder and warmer than today :confused2: . Forgot to check rain gauge, probably not much in it maybe .1 inch. Slow start today, putter till go furnuture shopping and Costco run, wife found her new couches, they are on order, Had two items on Costco list, got cart load :confused3:. Did fill up at 1.95/gal while there. After trip got bike ride in, really had to get full output out of cold muscles.
Bill -24F that is cold!
Eric I am sure Buckeye did not post that sign rare to see dead fox may be sick.
Randy good news.
Ron, nice cardinal pic, Scooter got "dumped" here tonight, Stepdaughter and boyfriend are now both on road, By the time he works out stepdaughter is not coming back this weekend, he will be in a bad mood!!
Thomas hope you enjoy your snow.
Rick nice progress pics
RNG dull blades are the bane of sawing, we would trash a blade if it would not feed fast enough without breaking. The blade would lose way too much cutting speed before showing dull. sounds like a lot of good news
Irv sounds like a good project.
Hawkeye bad news about FIL and SIL. prayers sent to family
Jay sound like you enjoyed your seat time
Ted there was this time I snagged boat and trailer on a gate post at night, still have not been able to get cover fixed:ashamed:
Buppies that is a lot of freezing, hop biopsy comes back negative.
Drew sorry you need surgery , hope it comes out well.
Ted nice pics, alway nice to have "interruptions" like that.
Buckeye hope your FIL continues to heal.
prayers for all.

11 degrees right now...and that's where it's going to stay today...brrrrr![[

We didn't get anywhere near the snow accumulation predicted...I'll clear the walks and drive when I get home tonight...or tomorrow

 

[Eric Salop]

Good morning all. Only half the usual number of sheep to check on today, the others left yesterday, in good time for their lambs to be born in the dry at a friend's farm. I better start clearing out the 3 dry concrete pens I have for when they start to return. Dusting with lime can wait in the vain hope that the wind will eventually tire of it's games and leave us alone. We are not doing too bad though, just 3 tired old hawthorns uprooted so far.

.. looking out my office window, I see the Canadian geese in the field across the road.. only 6 or so. The pheasants and quail have been plentiful also.

What a great office ! Sorry to hear of those injuries to your wife's father and sister.

Drew, admire the way you never moan or claim life's unfair, you just get on with living it :thumbsup:

Thomas, that fox is down a hole. If it had Corona virus or been poisoned, now only the worms will be complaining.

LS, the things you do to get more tractor time. I once left long scrapes along a public road when I pulled out of a farmyard with a counter balance still down. Ooops. :ashamed: I learned my lesson - to round off the corners, ready for the next time.

23 here going to 30. Yesterday was another heavy wet 3 or 4 inch snow mess. Tried to plow some of the grass driveway and just made a mess. Glad I got the walk and concrete cleaned up as that would of made a large frozen rut.. I miss the old straight dry snow we used to get.
Hope everyone is on the mend. Sad about the car accident hope they get better! Glad for the good news from the rest of you. Off to get ready for work.

Hot coffee is very warming. -4 ｰF with clear skies this morning. Heading to 20 ｰF with lots of sun. Got a little over 2" of snow yesterday. Plowed that and accumulation from the last few days in afternoon. Sassy is feeling much better today. But does not like the cold outside. Grocery shopping today. Then back home and stay warm.

Hawkeye, prayers for your FIL and SIL.

Buppies, hope the biopsies come back negative.

Drew, the GM team has got your back on this.

Mostly, hope scooter enjoys his stay. Shih Tzus always think new people are the best.

Phil & Roy, be careful cleaning up walks.

RNG, my son reminded me that he helped do the cellar floor when he was 16. Still a big job to get done in one day with a mixer. He will be 57 in a couple of months.
What do you use to weld your saw blades?

Buckeye, good new on FIL.

LS, nice end tables. Not much to says about digging holes with tractor tires.

David, hope wind dies down so you can get roof up.

Rick, finished press cart?

Good Morning All.

 

[daugen]

good morning all. Much cooler weather has come in, more seasonal, 45 going up to 53 today, dry for several days.

Buckeye, good news.
Eric, thank you, I do moan, but I don't whine...hopefully a small amount of medical info will help others.

Ted, that's going to look really nice when you are done. What kind of finish will you use?
I hope to get back to woodworking at next home. Small stuff like birdhouses, make great
xmas presents.

The carryall on the back of my little Massey has twice dug a nasty rut in the lawn when the hydraulics dropped, not enough friction in lever.
After second time I got smart and moved the end stop much further up.
Not only do you make a big mess but then you have to clean it up.
And for sure some choice words berating oneself... I believe mine were Oh Fudge.

 

[Buppies]

32 high of 40 today very cold tonight down to 18 or so

Prayers for all in need

 

[Buppies]

I have not heard “Oh Fudge” since my mother was alive

 

[Buppies]

Ron glad Sassy is better

 

[wngsprd]

35 and cloudy but no rain. Should go to 41 and some drying sunshine. Happy Valentine's Day to all the ladies in your lives!

David, hope you get good weather for roofing, and Eric, you, too, for your clean up job. Reminds me I'm late to go clean out the bluebird houses, a first of February annual job.

Been accidentally flushing a covey of quail the last few times we've walked by the sorghum field. So nice to see them, but there are fewer than last summer when I saw them as chicks. I think our foxes and hawks may have enjoyed a meal or two. Need to check the game cams today to see if the skunks are still living in the old fox den at the bottom of the hill.

 

[txdon]

Good morning! 28˚F Whipper says Happy Valentine's Day from her field of hearts.


OK put me in the forgetful category when it comes to the rear implements. I was backing out the tractor the other day when I heard a loud screening noise, looked around and saw the box blade scraping a big scratch in the cement floor. I backed out got some dirt, scrubbed the scratch out and all was good. I could not use it to my advantage like some people for an excuse for more seat time.

Hawkeyes, hope you SIL and FIL are doing better today.
Drew how will the operation affected your travel and downsize timeline?

 

[Thomas]

3F clear sky stiff wind from the north upper teens for high.

Outside chores done....brrrr time for E Muffin. :licking:
Last evening new sighting record for deer 17 at the feeders,even the fox look confuse so many deer.
Plans for today...quick plowing of driveway,remove plow from pickup,quick trip to town,most of all keep the wood furnace purring like new born sleeping kitten,going to be cold night and tomorrow night even colder.

Enjoy the day all.

Good morning, brace yourselves. The temp here is -30°F and the high will be 3. Wind N 3 mph. Mainly sunny.

Nothing on the books for today, that is a good thing.

You can put me in the counterweight forgetful list, too. My driveway takes a beating with my GB. To smooth my screwups over I just use the blade in the opposite direction and fill in my divots. Drive my rear tires over it a few times and it is all packed down again.


Have a safe day all

Yup. Saw a windchill value for the Muskoka Airport of -40 earlier this morning! (remember, at -40 the number is exactly the same for both Celsius and Fahrenheit.)

Glad we are not heading up until later this afternoon, or the dog would freeze solid as soon as he got out of the truck!

Winter coat and paw covers for him this weekend.

Then the bell went off and the little voice inside said YOU DUMB A** ..... I forgot to lift the box blade back up.

You are not alone, Ted. On good days I remember to lift the box blade. Usually, though, the tractor makes a groaning noise to remind me. And when I don't pay attention, I get more practice back dragging whatever the box blade dug up...:duh:

 

[RedNeckGeek]

A snow blower is real good at relocating dog piles.

I think I just lost my appetite for breakfast...:yuck:

 

[RedNeckGeek]

Dang, Buppies and Drew, I wish the news at the doctor's office was better. Just dang.
