Good morning!!!!

Happy birthday Mr. Bird!

28, wind chill 15, very windy and 33 today. We have a dusting of snow, third one since Christmas night. Looks like all the snow storms are missing us to the south and west, I’ll take it.

I pay everything electronically, I’ve written 4 checks in a little over three years. It’s just one more thing to keep up with.
I know it sounds pretentious to say I have a financial advisor, but it’s the best money I ever spent. I thought I could do it and did for years, goodness knows how much it cost me.
My next day Amazon impact is now two days, doesn’t really matter I’m not going to use it today.

Good luck to everyone trying to get a vaccine. Stay well.

Good Morning
It’s 24 with a forecast high of 30 today. Partly cloudy to clear skies with no precipitation.

Good day in the shop yesterday, speaker box is complete, needs final sanding and finishing. Today I’ll build the crossover and input and control plate.

Got another call from the restaurant, on of the rooftop heat pumps wasn’t running. It was an easy temporary fix, the thermostats are in an office with remote sensors located about the space. One of the sensors was bad, reprogrammed thermostat to use its internal sensor. I’ll get a new remote sensor and replace it today.

Mostly- no grease groves, it’s not for a continuously rotating shaft, it works a butterfly type damper that is used very intermittently.

Good morning! 20 now, supposed to struggle to 25 later. Got some flurries overnight. Still predicting Sunday/Monday to be interesting.

All this E muffin talk....just may have some with brekkie this morning

Happy Birthday Bird!

My dad had a reaction to his vaccination. He got sick, fever, chills, nausea, etc. he was fine after the shot, but started feeling rough on Sunday. Monday/Tuesday was the worst, he started feeling better yesterday. My step mom didn稚 even have a sore arm.

The training program I was 都upposed to be working on for work is on hold. Seems after the head of engineering had to check all 14 proportional solenoids to verify they were actually 24V, he decided it was a poor installation and needed redesigned. Doh......anyone that looked at the installation could see that. You can稚 put solenoids against a structural frame member and expect anyone to be able to access them for service, especially once all the hydraulic hoses and tubes are installed. You can稚 even see some of them.

Worked on the BSA project for a while. The rear fender is off for some TLC with a welder. Couldn稚 do anything with the rear fender until I could verify everything fit with the oil tank installed. Part of the oil tank mount is built into the rear fender.

Everyone stay safe out there

23 right now and the temperature will be dropping throughout the day and in to below zero (F) tonight...next few days are going to be bone chilling cold

Yep, it's going to get chilly for the next few days.
Have you diluted the fuel in your new Deere or hope you don't need her?
I didn't get my kerosene barrel filled this fall, so I ran into town yesterday and got 15 gallons of K1.
Added about 7 gallons to the tractor and 7 to the truck.
The tractor fuel was already 30% plus the strong dose of anti-gell.

Refrigerator delivery got pushed back to today, we shall see.

Everyone stay well or get better,
have a good day.

Oh, no English muffin today for me a full breakfast bacon and pepperjack cheese omelet and toast.

Happy Birthday Mr. Bird! Hope you and Margaret's arms get feeling better.

36F here this morning and jack frost on everything.

Eric, now I know why Eye of Newt, fungus of hawthorne et al are powerful drugs.

Broker told me he took my .02 out of e-muffin stock. Haha.

I'm waiting for some Steiner beast parts to come in. Hope to work on it Saturday.

prayers for our team and our country.

6°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 34° today.

We ended up with about 2" of snow yesterday. Not enough to break out the tractor. The clouds cleared out and it got really cold overnight, though, and everything is frozen solid this morning. Most of the main roads were surprisingly clean for today's drive to work. It's supposed to be sunny all day, though, so that will hopefully put a dent in the rest of it.

The boy came over and finished the closet for The Wife. Looks like he did a fine job in all but one area; he left saw dust all over the garage. He apparently used the table saw at the back of the garage instead of moving it near the door, and it spewed dust all over everything. Told The Wife he needs to come back over today and clean up that mess.

I've been not sleeping the best lately, and it apparently caught up with me last night. By the time we'd finished eating dinner, I was ready to go to bed. And, I did. Was in bed before 7:30pm, and slept straight through until the alarm went off at 5am this morning. I feel quite rested today.

Happy Birthday, Bird.

Nice long nap.

Good morning, it has been raining all night, fields again about as sloppy as it gets. Only problem with burn piles around here is finding a dry enough day to light them.

Yesterday I made good progress cutting out the dead stuff in the hedge. There were a couple of dead blackthorn intertwined with the hawthorn which hasn't been cut in a long long time, so was growing more like trees than hedge plants. Lots of old wives' tales about getting blood poisoning from blackthorn, though these were all thorn less after being attacked by an ugly looking fungus.

Wng, you got my wife wondering why I am reading the British Medical Association guidance notes on completing death certificates. It seems doctors only write down Covid-19 if they believe that is the underlying cause of death. The definition of "underlying cause" in this context is "the disease or injury which initiated the train of morbid events leading directly to death". In the early stages of the pandemic doctors could only go on symptoms, now almost all fatal cases have the additional evidence of a recent positive test to substantiate that diagnosis.

Thanks for digging into this. I can't imagine your wife wondering about you reading such a fascinating subject.

Good morning all, 19 going up to 32- sun is out for a bit. Looks like we are going to get some strong winds tomorrow and plenty of snow Sunday through Tuesday, maybe...Saying upwards of 10" but last prediction was 6 inches and we just got a bit of sleet. All ready though just in case!

Maybe move planters in place as now have the chicken wire. But need tractor to get dirt leaves etc. into them, and of course need wife to tell me placement!

Roy - thought you didn't get up till 3am

Missing some bills here-sent funds already-banks are certainly not forgiving, on anything. Also missing tax documents :thumbdown:

Bird sorry to hear about the arm. and on your birthday yet....

Nasty headache yesterday so didn't get much done

Stay safe and be well
