I like my 55 Samsung tv, but really like my sonç—´ 75 Samsung.

Got the 55" TV...possibly the same model...love to have gone for a bigger screen, but just don't have the room for it...meaning we'd be setting too close, the way our living room is laid out
Ours is one of the 4k models...and with a 4k blu ray, the picture is fantastic

37 right now...feels pretty clammy too, due to the much need rain we got yesterday and through the night. Be a good day to stoke the woodstove. The rain was great...nice steady rain all day and most of the night....something we needed badly.
High in the lower 50's today...light rain this morning, but should clear up by afternoon.
Chores: dump run definitely (skipped last weekend)...quick store run for beer and a few other odds and ends. If the wifey wants to go, probably won't be so quick
After that, maybe I'll enjoy the TV I described in the previous post. I've got a number of vids I bought, but haven't watched yet...also, 1949's "Twelve O'Clock High" is definitely worth another viewing

Added: Yep...got my selection for today's movies: The Darkest Hours (Winston Churchill in the early days of WW II), Dunkirk and a newly purchased flick, 1917.
12 O'Clock High will also be in the mix, since it'll be too wet to do anything outside

Cheapest fuel oil in area was $1.50 a gallon, but I decided better to prebuy at $1.79 since "spot" pricing during middle of winter always
climbs dramatically. May not this year, plenty of supply/oversupply out there. I bought 500 gallons in addition to full 275 tank, which for this small house
should be enough. As I get older and my arthritis gets worse, I like it warmer inside, maybe 70-72. Sure wish I had a woodstove...

neighbor from across the street came over to tell me Amazon had left packages at front door instead of side door which is the real entrance to home.
She got to door and promptly said "I know you!" Yes she did, she was active in fire co auxiliary for many years, while I was a volunteer, on board, and called Bingo every
Wed night for seven years. Have known her for 30+ years. While I've been away for 7 years, still expect to see many of the "old timers" still around.
My family has been here since 1939 and with my strange last name, and my brother owning the largest accounting practice in town, and me previously insuring much of the neighborhood,
know a lot of folks. Trick is remembering their names...am very poor at that.

Good morning, a dull day here, yet quite pleasant outside with very little wind and the sort of quiet that generally only comes with heavy snow. No distant sounds from cars, motorbikes, tractors or chainsaws. It seems a shame to disturb the peace by me hammering away again at brick, so I am taking it slowly this morning before I cut out the last few pieces of steel from the gable end.

LS, 8% humidity ! Do you get lots of static shocks when it is so low ? For the last month the only time we haven't seen beads of dew on the grass into late afternoon has been when they have been washed off by rain.

Rip, utv shopping with a grand daughter sounds a fine way to spend a weekend :thumbsup:

Frank, I would never have guessed if you hadn't said that was steel cladding. Is that the "weathered gray" ? Actually that sounds like my appearance - maybe I would be invisible if I stood in front of your cladding.

Yes Eric, that is the weathered gray siding. My wife has already joked that she may not be able to find me if I stand next to the house for the same reason!

Randy, your birthday trip sounds great. Glad you got down to the Pasquotank, Currituck and Camden area on your way.

David, the pizza stone idea is pretty interesting...glad it worked.

Coffee is done brewing. 28° with clear skies this morning. Heading to mix of sun and clouds. Dr visit went very well. PSA is now 0.20. See Dr again next year. Got grocery shopping done. Then relaxed rest of the day. Need to get net installed over garden pond today. Leaves are falling tree quickly after yesterdays frost.
Michigan Covid cases, 159,119. Deaths 7,317. Oakland County Cases 22,752. Deaths, 1,124. Tested in state 4,572,058. Oakland County test 519,404.
Lot of birds at feeders. Woodpeckers like to have their pictures taken.

Drew, 2 of my 3 TV's are 4K. But do not use my Blu-ray player so no need for it. Don't ever let the government try to sell you no fault automobile insurance. I think Michigan is the only state that has it. MY insurance is $1529. It has it's own medical for an accident. But they screwed seniors on Medicare when they changed law in July. They did not let our Supplemental/Advantage plans cover the part that is not covered by Medicare. Well at least I do not live in Detroit. They pay double that. That's why lots of people driving around with no insurance. I'm off the soap box.

Mostly, my Muffin did not like sandbur's Always had me carry her to a road or solid surface when we were in areas where they grow. If one got in one of her paws she would stop and raise the affected one for me to remove it.

Rick, enjoy GD visit.

Randy, trip sounds great. To bad Intercourse did not work out because of bad weather. :ashamed:

RS, looks like yoke has clearance on shaft. Another week of 11%.

Frank, siding looks great.

David, good no more pig damage.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Looks like Buppies weather prediction spot on as always.
