Bit over 4 1/2 hours mowing. Had about 10 minutes left to finish the area when shear bolt broke. Guess that will be a task for the morning, along with getting the belt back on the Craftsman.

Up to pee and a quick cup of coffee...quick perusal of TBN and other websites, than back to bed
31 right now...looks like it's flurrying outside. High today will be in the mid-20's.
Chores...dump run (need to make sure it's open!) for a bunch of cardboard from Christmas and a couple weeks before. Need to get lottery tickets, so may as well make the dump run too.
Wifey and I didn't go to the grocery store....she much prefers to go with step daughter (that's OK with me!)...that's their chore today

Good morning, nice to get back indoors this morning, having my face washed by sleet is not my favourite way to start the day. Looks like this is how it will be for the next few days, with temperature rising only a smidgen above freezing during the daytime. A perfect day to spend time inside with wife and woodburner.
Despite quite tight measures to prevent people coming into contact with one another, Covid cases are on a steep rise here and hospitals are fast approaching the point of not being able to cope. It is thought (but not fully proven), this new variant is contributing to this by being both generally more contagious and also in the way in can be caught and passed on by children, which was relatively rare before. They say the only reason the death rate is not higher than it was at the start of the year is because of the experience gained in treatment, but even then it can be touch and go - as Rich knows all too well. With vaccination still at it's early stages, this could be a long winter.
Rich, great to hear you are still on the mend :thumbsup:

Good morning, low 2°F and high 19. Wind NNW 5 mph. Mainly sunny.
I can handle that.
Today is an energy conservation day.
Covid is ramping up here, too. All of Ontario is going into lockdown. Northern for 14 days and southern for 28 days. The hardware store is going to do curbside service only. The grocery stores are allowed 50% of normal capacity. I don't trust anyone to buy my food for me and deliver it curbside.
Have a safe day all

Coffee is done brewing. 21° with mostly clear skies this morning. Heading to 30° with mix of sun and clouds. I did conserve energy. Feel much better this morning. Have a dentist appointment this morning. No other plans for the day.
MY furnace saga continues. A new furnace was ordered on the 26. Contractor checked it out. Wrong model. Very basic furnace. Contractor thought he got it straightened out. Gave me model number ordered. It was a downflow model. Need a upflow model. :banghead:
Still staying warm.
Moon was bright yesterday evening.
Rich, good to hear you are getting better everyday.
Buppies, car rides are good. Especially if they do not have a destination.
Eric, Covid numbers have dropped to numbers that were being reported before Thanksgiving here. Still over 2.5K per day But not 8 and 9K.
Everyone stay healthy and safe.
Good Morning All.

good morning all.
36 out now, only going up to 38 today, with snow flurries this morning and then sunshine.
Going to call my primary doc this morning and ask what the plan is for vaccine shots.
has anyone else had their doctors call them on vaccination? I'm figuring sometime in January

light snow working its way East and will be here shortly, will get Popgadget's farm first.
Doesn't look like it will accumulate though.
I'm getting more serious about getting a snowblower. This raking gravel out of the lawn
is the pits. An inexpensive electric one with a 100 foot cord should do just fine, and they
are remarkably reliable. Just wish they were self propelled. While Honda makes a nice 3500 dollar one :shocked:
I think the 200 dollar Snow Joe will do ok. The six inch snow we just got was all this area had last winter, not like NY or New England.
And if we ever do get a big snow of over a foot, I'll just call the the landscape guy and his truck.

32 going to 45, but will get windy.
Buppies, sounds like a nice drive. I haven't been out in the Blacksburg area in 7 years.
RNG, I like my oatmeal over easy, rather than well done
. Hope the smell is gone today. Yep, probably special forces. Interesting to me, our state conservation police officers (game wardens) use mostly retrievers. They can sniff out where someone has hidden a duck over limit, or hidden lead shot where non-toxic is required from "a mile away."
Kyle, I think of a walk as just around the house and fields, basically where ever Coco wants to go, while a hike is my choice, on a trail. A lot of my mountain hiking, in addition to being invigorating, has been "training" to get me ready to go back and hike a mountain I last hiked in my twenties. Coco is finishing her first week of CBD oil...I haven't noticed any difference except she always has the munchies. I'm waiting for the snail mail to deliver a new strength medicine that gets compounded in New Jersey.
Rich, glad to read you are steadily improving...sounds like you have many of the best tastes back although I didn't see coffee listed. First night in your own bed in about a month is something to savor.
Ron, sorry about your furnace.
Replaced some cedar siding on the house yesterday...been waiting for a day warm enough to give the caulking time to cure. Took longer to get the old wood off than put up the new.
Was supposed to go visit my mom today, but delayed it a few days due to sore throat and sniffles...nothing serious, probably due to being out in the cold wind, and lots of dust.
