Good Morning!!!! 41F @ 6:00AM. Windy at times with rain likely. High around 50F. Winds SSE at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall near a half an inch. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
Lots of snow farther up the mountain, but it didn't get cold enough here. 3/4" of rain since the storm came in last night at about 6:30, and blowing pretty hard since about 3AM when it woke me up with a 46MPH gust. Maybe another 1/2" on the way today, and more, more, more in the 10-day.:thumbsup:
Lou, could you run a chain or strap from the tractor to the delivery truck and pull it up the hill to the house?
That coloration is very similar to the ones out here, Ron. We call 'em pine squirrels. They eat a lot of pinecones, and for that reason, don't taste very good, or so I'm told. I've seen gray squirrels, too, but not nearly as many.
Looking forward to hearing about progress on the network, David. Please keep the faucet on, we appreciate of the rain!
The way I understand it, Don, is that part 2 is when someone that has developed immunity from vaccination then encounters the real disease. Now that millions have been vaccinated, and a lot of them long enough ago to have developed immunity, we should start seeing cases of ADE if it is going to be a problem. Those Phase 3 subjects are still being monitored as well, tens of thousands of them by now with multiple vaccines, and so far, so good. Unless the big drug companies are hiding something from the FDA/CDC. Nothing would surprise me at this point.
I don't know of anything that will keep gravel on a hill, Scrambler. I use 4WD when I go up and down mine, and it helps, but it'll still need grading after all this rain we're getting now. BTW, :welcome: to the GM thread!
Pretty snow shots, Ted, but thankful they're of YOUR driveway, not mine!:laughing:
Yesterday's trip to town had a slow motion feel to it much of the time. The truck needed fuel, but the pumps seemed to be running at half speed. I thought the lady waiting in line behind me was gonna blow a gasket when I pulled a 5 gallon can out of the back after already having taken ten minutes to fill the 30 gallons in the main tank. Then the lab still didn't have the correct test order from the doctor, so that meant several trips in and out of their too crowded waiting room. There was no line at the range when I went to pick up the shotgun, but after more than two weeks, the 9mm ammo I'd ordered still hadn't come in. Left with plenty of 00 Buck, though. Long checkout line at HF, but they had the gloves and pallet wrap I needed and they eventually called another checker to help out. Both Costco and the grocery were hopping; lots of people out stocking up for the storm. I wanted to stop at Walmart and Tractor Supply, but it was getting on toward late afternoon and starting to spit rain, so put it off 'till next week. Managed to get home and unloaded before the storm hit, and by then I had a nice fire going in the stove as well.
Paperwork, stoking the wood stove, and maybe a nap on the agenda for today.
Happy Hump Day!
