Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

Good afternoon, wow, what chilly temperatures many are seeing. Please do your best to keep that cold on your own side of the pond.

I don't know where the time disappeared this morning, I don't seem to have done anything useful other than fire up the range and insure the car. 65 must be a sweat spot age for insurance, it is costing just ｣270 as long as I don't drive more than 8,000 miles in the next year. With Covid restrictions and my working days over, I won't get anywhere near that mileage.

Wng, great to hear that coco is happy again.

Rip, I think of a porch as a small cover over an entrance, no more than 3x the width of the door. Only when I saw the pics did I realise yours it a lot more work !

Took this picture a few days ago to get your opinion - do you think it is time to buy a new hose ? My wife walked over the top unaware of the leaks and got quite a shock :laughing:

That can be recycled as a sprinkler hose for the garden next spring!

Dropped the bucket and put the front blade rigged to the loader...so, if we get any snow on Friday, I can plow it or use the blower...I'm hoping for 5-6 inches to make it a good day....we'll see
I'm getting used to the hydro transmission...pretty short learning curve, actually. But with my gimpy leg, I'll never win any speed contests going from forward to reverse and vice versa...

thanks Paul, nice charting/graphics
I ordered this one, had an Accurite last time and it was very inaccurate, though if not buying a Davis, the state of the art here is predictably low.

waiting for sun to come up so I can go downtown. Trying to cut my night driving to minimum due to deer

Hmmm, this is what came up on Drew’s weather station link.

Buppies, Coco is still improving...only one sore, but still a lot of missing hair spots...most will not grow back. She developed a limp and the vet said to go back to her prior level of prednisone. She is a fun and happy dog now.

I had a nice hike in the local park...didn't see a soul for 4.7 miles, but the trees were beautiful...the hickories are really strutting their stuff this year around here.

Glad coco is improving.

I’ve seen nice hickories also. A lot of the trees along my property look like hickory nuts, but not shag bark. Lots of yellow leaves.

Did the Tail two years ago, a lot of fun, but Ellen was holding on to the “oh sh-t” handle the whole time. LOL

I have never driven the Tail.

Did my early voting this evening after work. Line of about 30 people. Wife and kids went this afternoon.

Health open season at work, they took away my plan of BC. Only choice is united health care and one other.

United Healthcare is sending me a free covid test and a free dose of Tamiflu and digital thermometer "to be prepared"...don't know if all of their policies do that.

Nice day today rain moving in tomorrow night
Happy about Coco

 

[toppop52]

Got my grass cut, a lot of areas in the Holley grove didn’t have anything to cut but moss and mushrooms.
Still 62 outside but that will soon be gone. Headed for bed.

Covid update: Cooke 561 confirmed cases, 37 active cases, Montague 279 confirmed cases, 30 active cases, Grayson 2515 confirmed cases, 199 active cases.
Roy 2 inch snow here would be major snow storm.

Welcome to Paul, popgadget.

My internet has been wacky all day, sure not going to make any changes until I know it’s stable.

good morning all.
warmer day with more rain showers coming in from small system, 53 going to 64 today
Then some clearing out before rain from Beta arrives, several inches predicted which we don't need.
Glad I got all my bulbs planted.

am off to Board of Elections this morning to hopefully pick up ballot and vote today. Otherwise at least get something in writing
proving I am registered, never got my voter card in mail as promised.

Then off to friend's home for lunch and returning the moving blankets and bungee cords I borrowed. Since two were lost, somewhere..., need to stop in auto
parts store and buy two more on the way. Amazon only had packs of ten.

Looks like good progress David. Surprised your dog doesn't mind whine of saw.

I don't know why my Amazon postings get hijacked the way they do.

Hope you all have a good day. Surprised there is so much snow for some of you.

I don't know why my Amazon postings get hijacked the way they do.

Are you referring to reviews you leave on purchases you've made, Drew? If so, it seems Amazon's censors are rather sensitive about criticism. It's OK to give something only one star, but if you say too much about why, they refuse to add your missive to the rest of the "bad" reviews. Discouraging, literally, in that I seldom bother to post a review these days as the time is often wasted when it doesn't make it in with the other reviews. It also makes me wonder how truthfully the reviews reflect the true nature of the products they sell.

most of my reviews are positive and that wasn't the issue here, was merely a link to the weather station I had just ordered, so no review involved.
Instead they showed a water pump, which I've never bought from them...
as I've mentioned before, have read that 40 percent of Amazon reviews are phony; because most people sort by "highest rated", whole industry has developed
faking reviews

59 high of 72 today big rain starts tonight 2 to 4 inches possible very windy too 45mph gusts
