Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO David! Hope you have many more !

I tried to call the Manager at the Walmart.... numerous times... just kept ringing. I felt my BP rising, so just left a bad Google review and called it quits.... not worth continuing the aggravation.

The temp never got above 42..and was windy at 25-35 mph..... decided not to go out to the shop today. The grandson is now "off" from school until next Monday, so the pressure to finish it is reduced. However, now there are TWO requests for toy chests.... I better keep moving... glad I bought those new saw blades and sanding discs.... new router should be delivered tomorrow.... just in time!

Drew, your shop is coming together very nicely! Nice looking saw.

Stayed in the house mostly all day, smelling the made from scratch, buttercream filled chocolate cupcakes that the wifey was making... mmmmm. I self appointed myself to be the quality control officer..... they all passed. 2 dozen remaining...

Then she started "par-cooking" her infamous meat stuffing for thanksgiving.... another major olfactory event!

Good morning, the temperature is 21°F and going to 41. Wind ESE 19 gusting to 25 mph. Periods of light snow mixed with freezing drizzle.

As promised, a pic of the conveyor.
I took the lever action set up for raising it up out of the mix as I needed it (the conveyor belt/chain) right down on the axle in order to get it into the basement window.
Where the wider part is at on the right hand side I cut the skin off an old (1970) refrigerator door 5' x 2.5' and pop riveted it onto the angled side. The Honda motor is right under the added flashing.
This conveyor was made to load from the rear off a firewood processor, not from the side. Too bad, I will be loading it from the side. This conveyor is going to eliminate the hand bombing of wood into the house.

I'm not sure what I will get up to today.


Have a safe day all

good morning all
One degree warmer than Buppies, 37 going to 57 today in clouds, then turning to rain
tonight and raining into tomorrow.

Need to make a quick run to supermarket this morning when it opens, before it gets crazy today.
Then back to await Macy's truck which is delivering a small leather sofa for living room, last bit of furniture needed.
And when that is finally done, will work on a birdhouse and maybe put up some outdoor xmas lights.

enjoying my coffee, two scoops regular, three scoops decaf, and using Stevia/erythritol sweetener. It's not as good as what
I used to make but my glucose numbers are now happily in line so worth the effort. Of course the cherry pie I'm going to make tonight
will negate some of that progress, but want a nice dessert for tomorrow. My brother and his wife are bringing over Thanksgiving dinner for me, since
none of us want to visit without masks. I have the Hepa 13 air purifier and they don't so we decided this alternative was safest. The headlines are too alarming to
simply think it won't happen to us. They won't stay more than a few minutes but nice of them to do so.
Maybe I'll luck out and get both pumpkin and cherry pie...:dance1:

41 outside this AM. Heading to mid 50's. Woke up to low water pressure again. Looks like the water polo ponies wanted to swim some more. Darn watered got jammed again. Will have to put the critter cam out there and see which one is doing it and how. I slam my hand into it and cannot cause it to stick, so I have no idea. Wife will call the company when everyone wakes up.

More porch work on order for the next few days.

Mostly, the demo work is just the three outside walls, framing only, that is holding up the porch roof. I am laying the decking down slowly. And taking out the framing as I get near it. Recall, it used to be an "inside" room.

I need to call the tax adjuster too, removing some 400 square feet of indoor house space.

Hope all are where they need to be. Hope all have a great day. Be safe. Stay healthy my friends. Happy Thanksgiving.

 

[Buppies]

Same you and your family Riptides

40 going to 58 and cloudy...but I did see one star this morning.

Happy Birthday to Phil's wife and hope her eyes improve.

Nice dinner for your birthday, David! Hope it was a Happy Day.

Rip, sorry about your water problems...hoping for an easy fix.

Trying to decide what to do for our 42nd anniversary today. Some of our favorites aren't possible this year. Maybe spend some time just gazing into her eyes.

Mountains were pulling hard on me yesterday, so went to Shenandoah and hiked Rocky Mountain and Brown Mountain. Wore myself out. Didn't see a single car on the Skyline Drive for the 10+ miles I had to drive to the trailhead, nor did I see anyone on the trail. Beautiful and very remote place. Now I know why they named it Rocky Mountain. Here's where I ate my apple for lunch.
