Yes me too, what are the new rules to WEP?

26 right now and looks like 3-4" of newly fallen snow outside. Tractor's plugged in and I'll head out within the hour. High in the upper 30's today.
First day back to work in 2021...

Poured first cup of coffee. 29° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 32° with cloudy skies. Cleaned snow off drive and walkways with tractor. Got about 4" of snow after posting yesterday. GS did a great job with toilet. I was not bad being the go-fer. Had to buy and install new mounting plate. Old one had rusted out. I needed a nap after we got done. Dr appointment in afternoon. Put all the tools away and clean up work area today.
Fresh snow fall always is calming. Especially if you do not need to go out in it.

Roy your new year at work with new boss goes well.

David, SSA calculator does not go back to my birthday year. I put maximum amount into SSA all of my working years. Today retiring at 62 will get you $2265. I did some consulting while in those early retirement years. Which added a few more $ to my monthly amount. Today paying full amount in to SSA each year and waiting until until full retirement age will get you $3011 each month. Waiting until 70 years old will get you $3790 each month.

Buckeye, New toilet came with all that was needed to install it. Except mounting ring. Seal ring was a was a rubber and wax ring. Toilet came from Sam's Club also.

LS, neat sunset picture.

Dftodd, I had safety preached to me every day a work. As the lead guy on most jobs. I tried to give the best example. But as I have gotten older. I forget stuff. Be careful.

RS, I cannot keep up with all your projects. Take a NAP please.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Good morning, the temperature is 27°F and going to a high of 32. Wind S 6 mph. 30% chance of flurries. Cloudy.

I am not sure what I will be getting into today.

Safe ride to work, Roy.


Stay safe all

30 outside this AM. heading to upper 40's. Should be dry for today. Yippie.

Need to get some primer on the porch today. Made a few more dump runs yesterday to get the last of the bricks and wood out of the yard. Managed to reclaim about 14 PT 2x6x7's.
Not much else worth the time and effort. Can use them on another project. LOL.

Hope all have a great day today. Be safe and stay healthy my friends.

The first work day of the New Year. Here is hoping for a much better year!

good morning all. 35 out now going up to 45 in clouds.

need to drop off a birdhouse at UPS shipping place, then off to Giant for a few food items, mostly spices I need
to do some baking. The baking cookbook my sister sent me for Christmas has me motivated.

wonder if it would do any good calling primary doc regarding vaccine. Unlike Texas, there is very little information being given out here.

Think I'll go pick up one more cedar board at lumberyard and then call it quits for the winter. Stepbrother in Colorado was told if he wanted an owl
birdhouse, he needed to pick what kind/size owl he was trying to attract. Colorado has a lot of owls in different sizes. Opening can be as large as six inches
for some.

did some research on installing wireless cameras in birdhouses. Spy camera is cheap, packaged systems are not, 120 bucks or more. Plus the camera needs power all the time and
therefore must be plugged in. I want to see if camera battery can be solar powered.

Ron, I didn’t pay the maximum SSA for the early years, but my wife did, and when she died at 66 she was at full retirement age for her. She had just officially retired that year. So I actually draw her SS, or as I’m told by them, I draw mine, plus enough if gets to make up the difference.

 

[wngsprd]

36 and fog, going to 46, and maybe some sun. We need it.

Ted, great cloud...looks like a hand held shower head on its side.

Ron, best pic of the year! (only 4 days in, so I know more great ones are coming).

Thanks again, Buppies for help yesterday.

Roy, hope your new tractor moved that snow well, and you have a safe drive back to work.
