Good morning!!!!

A little back story then the meat of the matter. We leave the water in the bath tub after a bath due to hydro being so erratic and the well pump not being on the genny. The orange kitten got adventuresome today and discovered the bathtub...Half full of water. This is a 110 gallon tub and he blindly jumped into it. I will just bet that he had fun jumping out of it. He ran into my cave sopping wet.

I’ll likely make it to midnight, but Sophie won’t. We’ll share some asti.

Dang wx hasn’t allowed me to finish mowing and rain now forecast thru 5PM.
A good time for me to start my annual spreadsheet redoes. I close out all the financial ones as of today, make any format adjustments, and start fresh 1/1. Being a glutton for punishment all our accounts are in individual spreadsheets linked together in a large file. This weekend I’ll likely take the opportunity to go over them with Sophie. Thanks for reminder, Rich. Her sisters tease her that should something happen to me she wouldn’t have a clue as to managing our finances. Actually most things are set up with direct deposits and auto payments, except taxes, property taxes, auto registrations and house insurance. Would be interesting how long they could live hands off. Maybe something to look at, making sure the auto payments are tied to proper income accounts. She’s actually very good financially, always managing to save regardless of income. I always get her cash when she wants it, then I can borrow it back when I need it because she so rarely spends it.

Looks like today will be good opportunity for a dump run also.

Disappointing to hear from our Governor that 60% of nursing home staffs have elected not to take the COVID vaccine.

That just seems crazy to me. There have been some truly heart breaking stories about the virus getting into nursing homes. You would think that the staffs would want to do everything they can to avoid that stuff.

Yeah ... sadly, there's a lot of crazy going around these days ... :confused3:

The Governor says the state will not force people to get the vaccine ... but that doesn't mean companies couldn't mandate it as a condition of employment - particularly those companies which have employees in close proximity to high-risk populations.

I don’t have a work light on my new tractor, but I don’t work in the dark anymore. And If I ever got the urge to plow snow at night I can light up all 120’ of driveway like it’s daylight, so my headlights don’t even come into play.

I dump all my cat litter in the woods a long way from the house.

I’m not worried about staying up until midnight, I might get a nap in my recliner and wake up in time, or I might not. I’m not too eager to ring in the new year, but I want to be darn sure the old one leaves!

Amen, brother!!

My step daughter has two cats and it cost me money to dispose of it at the dump. We have 9 acres, a couple lawn, the rest unimproved (I do mow a few acres of the unimproved field). I'm thinking a trip to the field once or twice a week might be a better (cheaper) way to dispose of cat litter

I need to cut some sheet metal. This Dewalt Shears was recommended to me on another forum. Anyone used one.

I bought this one at HF several years ago Ron. I use it for sheet metal and Formica sheet. It works great.

The Moderna dosage is .5ml. (That is 1/10 of a teaspoon which is a small amount)
found it on the vials in the pic.
More COVID-19 vaccine doses headed to Central Texas in third week of distribution | KXAN Austin
