Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

I truly enjoy an Irish coffee every now and then. I thought I might learn something from the video..... I didn't hear a word she was saying...

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Didn't get out to start planing the fresh wood... wind was strong, keeping the temp low, and kicking up a bunch of dirt. I just couldn't get motivated...

So, went and did a grocery run. We (wifey) got it all packaged for the freezer and stocked it. Then decided to break out the ash vac and clean the pellet stove. We are dropping into the 30's tomorrow and expecting snow tomorrow night. I thought it would be a good idea to clean it out before it has some heavy use.

Had an early dinner and now just watching some TV.....

Tuesday night will be 5ｰF. Then it will warm up from there. Toasty compared to what I used to have to live through in Winnipeg!

Been there, done that in Medicine Hat in the late 70s.

29F now mid 30's for high mid 30's winds 10-20 mph chance snow shower.

Outside chores E muffin time. :licking:
Plans for today...4" snow not as wet heavy as yesterday think tractor with rear blade would be better than pickup with plow,sneak in nap before 3pm,watch Browns barely defeat Chiefs,than see what the rest of the day brings.

Enjoy the day all.

Was disappointed to see Browns lose, but pleased Brady won. Hope Tom wins 2 more this season.

Coffee is done brewing. 27° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 34° with some snow flurries through out the day. Yesterdays time in neighbors woods went well. Chipper made several pile of chips. Will do some more clearing next week.
Been without electric power since 10 last night. Whole house generator fired up and is doing it's job keeping things running. Whole neighborhood is dark except mine and house next to me. The only ones that have whole house generators. Going to be some cold people this morning.
No plans for today.

Roy, 12. fits me.

Drew, interesting you should mention the Woodward Dream Cruise. My son and I have been discussing him coming up for it this summer.

Alien, nice cage.

Check, great pictures.

Buckeye, since install of new toilet I have no fear of running out of toilet paper. Just need to figure out which button does what. :shocked:

Buppies, I will be checking out my AC on the first day it gets over 70° to make sure it works after furnace install.

Rich, good you are on the mends.

Randy, Happy Birthday to Stepson.

Pennwalk, my house is over 80 years old. Not very tight. But furnace air circulation is very well filtered. Plus Humidification is very important to me. Even with a large bucket of water on wood stove humidity drop down in the 20's. Took 3 days to get humidity up close to 50%. My sinuses are happy again.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Good morning, looking out to a sky with only a few thin ribbons of cloud. Had a good few hours without rain yesterday and hopefully the same today. Best to pretend I haven't seen the forecast for the rest of the week, that way I can take my time and enjoy being outside instead of rushing to get things done. Winter has always required a different mindset, no point getting downhearted at it being cold and wet, better to just be thankful for these occasional kind weather days.

Roy, funny list. While Ron and Alien are on number 12, I am tending more to number 3.

Wng, it's a shame Coco is still not up to going with you on hikes, although I'm sure you tell her about the best bits of the trails, though that story about the dog that wears ski shades could have got her jealous. Does she sniff your boots when you return home ?

LS, probably best to save the Irish coffees until gravel spreading is over if your neighbour has a camera Gravel Dump Truck Spreading Fail - YouTube

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the temperature is 5°F and going up to 16. Wind N 8 mph. 40% chance of flurries.

Well, the morning is over 1/2 gone and I have done absolutely nothing other than feed the kittens.
I think today will be an energy conservation day.

Roy, I don't have a favourite but I can identify with most of them.

Eric, just be thankful that you don't wake up to -40°F temperatures that hang around for anywhere from1 day to a month. It is not a good winter if we don't get at least 2 weeks of -40 weather.


Have a safe day all

"Thomas will Mrs let you use her tractor?"
-----------------
She plow the parking area etc. did good job,I used the pickup for the driveway etc.
The only complaint she had was safety seat switch when backing up.

 

[wngsprd]

31 going to 48 with some sun.

Alien, cool bird cage and birds. We've never had birds in the house, except for the occasional one that flew in from outside and had to be netted.

Roy, I laughed hardest at no. 10. Many of them fit me well.

Eric, indeed she does smell my boots and the truck's tires. The other day I didn't realize I had stepped in some fresh horse manure, and her sniff quickly turned into a lick until I moved my foot.

 

[Thomas]

30" cloudy mid 30's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time. :licking:
Plans for today...Like to get pickup load grit spread on driveway icy spots that's if company not close because of MLK Day,if close than put Mrs. new shower curtain rod etc.,back up plan putter.

Enjoy the day all.

 

[daugen]

36 going up to 45 today in sun and clouds.
Headed out early to get lab tests, then breakfast, then not sure.
Hope you all have a good day

3 & 6 bingo for me.

 

[txdon]

Good morning! 32˚F heading to the 60s, partly cloudy, light wind from the South. Roy I always have to figure out which day my Mom is talking about. Doing a grocery run for her today and need to stake out a cattle fence that needs replacing and taking the chain saw because it's next to a woody dry creek. Our county is getting 6K doses of vaccine I'm got on their "don't call us we will call you" waitlist. Green tea instead of coffee this morning to eliminate travel stops.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Been busy with life....lots to catchup on.

Sister is fairing ok with covid, her husband and oldest daughter now have it too.

Prayers and hope all have a blessed day.

 

[Buppies]

Roy really good one I had to share hope you do not mind

34 high of 39 today no snow in forecast for next seven days LaNina really messing things up for the east coast

Prayers for all

Prayers for our Country

Prayers for BEF brother and family

Prayers for Kyles sister and family

Good Morning.
It’s 32 with a forecast high of 42 with mostly clear skies.

Yesterday’s trip was as predicted, except it was an hour quicker coming home than the trip down.

Great list Roy. I was most amused by 1, but 8 rings pretty true, as do 3,5 and 7.

Ron, did they remove and reinstall the AC coil, or leave it in the ductwork when they installed the new furnace? If it stayed in place, there is little chance of an issue, unless they brutalized it in the process or miswired the thermostat connections. If the fan runs in the “On” position, they got half of it right, you will have to see if the condenser runs to know about the other half.

Not sure what I’m going to do today, I’ll report tomorrow on how it went.

Youngest son’s fiancé brought some awesome orange cranberry bread, going to have another piece and a cup of tea, before seeing what’s in store for me.

They left it in place. I am pretty sure it will work. But going to test it first chance I get. If it takes over a month to fix a furnace. How long will it take for AC?

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Well Roy, my day is off like a herd of turtles.
Good list.
