Good morning! 53˚ very wet outside. Wind shifts from North to South in an hour and temps in the 70s this afternoon.

By order of the County Judge (not the state) Churches here can only stream this morning.

My wife renewed her DL online, And she got it in the mail. Her picture is in black and white, not color. She says it looks counterfeit, and it does, but it's not, just new technology.
New state laws allow for changes to driver痴 license appearance | Interim News Briefs
Non-color photo . . .was necessary to authorize DPS to use superior technologies, such as etching or laser engraving, that provide additional security from counterfeiting but cannot produce a color image.

Good morning, everyone. On my 2nd cup of coffee, the sun is shining in blue skies and the temperature is right around 0°F. Took a chance and removed the snow plow from the ATV yesterday. Still have the blower on the tractor, however, in case we get a late season storm. Meanwhile, time to start shoveling the snow off of the boat house dock, so that I can do some work on it before the lake level comes up. It will rise about 3 feet in the next 2 to 3 weeks, so we only have so much time.

The water will come right to the top of the walkways on either side that you see here. But for now we can get at the superstructure and do any additional reinforcing that we want. Big job!

Fortunately, from here on for the next maybe two weeks or more, the temperatures will be above freezing in the daytime, making the work much easier.

No rest for the wicked!

Very odd they say that. Search on line images for RealID.

Spent 45 minutes this morning chatting with widow of good friend, about how she is getting along in Richmond VA. She has stroke paralysis and difficulty
getting around, so we chatted about powerchairs. We also chatted about the humor in our Quaker Meeting in PA setting up Zoom for anyone who wanted to
be part of Meeting. Well....the thing is, most Quaker services are about 90% quiet, folks praying/meditating in silence. No video, just audio,would think some software would time out at some point in the silence... Instead of that I called my friend who really appreciated it

Made some progress cleaning up storage area, 7 garbage bags filled for Goodwill so far of xmas stuff and craft junk including a lot of ugly plastic flowers.
I will be so glad when I'm done cleaning up that room.

Yep, that is how I am spending. My time while I wait for the grains to steep in another home brew I am trying....listening to George Thorogood drinking tunes.

A mostly clear and sunny 18ºF for today's low temperature; a sunny 25ºF presently ; and I anticipate a sunny afternoon in the mid to high 30ºF's. A beautiful day to be outside and putter around. There is not a lot of preparation needed for this next pending weather system tomorrow. I've been prepared all Winter for snow. The NWS has issued a Winter Storm Watch for this area. It looks like I will be posting a snow picture or 2. The amount of snow I get will be a factor of "elevation" cold air damming, and wet bulbing; maybe ~6".

Thomas- Your Wife has a really nice looking tractor.

Ted- Nice weather pics.

Rick- I like your numbing liquid libation and emergency kit.

Bruce- This gimping around is getting old.

Phil- We will be seeing lots of "weather" in MA this week.

Eric- You have an understanding Wife.

"... Knee not doing too well. I hate being mobile with the body reminding you of everything."- Mike. You have a nice looking place. Sadly I can relate.

I hope that everyone is having a manageable Sunday.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

31F this morning.. stayed up late last night thinking and discussing retirement income.. will enjoy my nap this afternoon for sure.

Church is streaming only today, they have worked on improving it since last week. Yesterday's prayer service was much improved, see what today brings.

Put the base under the table saw (bought it months ago, just now getting around getting it done). Of course the swivel wheels have swivel issues.. cleaned and oiled a couple of them, will be fine I guess... wish I had paid attention to that when I got them (past the return period now). Wife helped me some, I think we are going to enjoy this retirement gig.

I read that Israel is considering a new approach to CV.. isolate the old and those with preexisting conditions, let the rest of the population get the virus, develop own immunity. They don't think the shelter in place is viable for more than a few weeks/months.

Stay safe, prayers for all.

67°F and .13 inches rain

Hope to get 1st course of block laid if not muddy. Managed to get the bank cut and base leveled before the rain yesterday.

Gov has closed Hawaii, 14 day quarantine for all arrivals both residents and tourists starting Thu.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
