Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! The wind was ferocious last night, from around 11pm through 3am, pretty much continuous at 45 mph. Top gust recorded at 56.8. The blowing dust was horrendous, everything is covered with superfine brown silt.... we have been vacuuming the inside of the windows for the last 2 hours. The force of the wind just pushes the silt through the smallest little gap.

Wng, digging out here can go year round. When it is wet, it really becomes a mess, as it does elsewhere. We very seldom have any deep freeze, but it can happen..... like they say, if you don't like the weather, just wait until tomorrow!

RNG, surgery is scheduled for Feb 12th. It will be a 1 or 2 night stay.... I am hoping for just 1. They are doing some of the replacement surgeries as out-patient, but because we live so far away from the hospitals, mine will be in-patient in case there are any complications.

Drew, we are anxiously awaiting to see the transformation of your place come the spring! Watch out Longwood Gardens..... there is going to be some competition! :thumbsup:

Kyle, hope your son isn't too banged up. Is he ready and willing to get back on the saddle? Hopefully he will just take it in stride....

Gotta get back in gear.... 2 more windows to vacuum, then take a tour of the grounds to see if there is any damage. Hopefully none, then I can continue as planned for some shop time.

Everyone have a great day!

37ｰF and light rain this morning, going up to 43ｰ today. Expecting rain most of the day.

I replaced the flap on the upstairs toilet several months ago. It worked for awhile, then started leaking again. So, I just put in an entire new kit. Worked fine until a few days ago, when it started leaking again. For all its modern conveniences, plumbing is just aggravating.

Gheez, I hope that isn't common! I just replaced one of my flaps!

Morning to all;
It's a nice day outside today finally, sun is shining and we are up to 33F, the eaves are dripping away, that's some cold water when it goes down the back of your neck :laughing:
Not a lot on the agenda for today, may take the truck in to be washed and pick up some bird seed.
Thinking about swinging by my friendly RAM dealer and talking to them to see how long it would be to get a truck ordered in.
Really don't don't what it till spring so as to keep it out of the salt before it can be under coated (I prefer waxoly).
May do a bit down in the shop.

All stay or get well, and have a good day

Wx station down, but feels in mid 60’s and it rained during the night. Storm supposedly passed through.

So first order will be checking wx station.

Will be watching AARP sponsored briefing/ question&answer zoom session with our LT Governor this afternoon re vaccinations. Not expecting great news but can be hopeful.

May have at least a temporary internet solution. Will report back.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I found some of the weight I’d lost.

Me too...

Lou, have fun at the dealer.

Glad you didn’t suffer serious damage in that fall, Paul

Ted, after your knee surgery consider getting a recumbent bike. I do mine almost every morning while I read GM.

Good afternoon! It was all of 5 when I woke up this morning. 32 now, supposed to see 38 today. Feels good outside.

Had a follow up doctor appointment this morning from the little visit to the hospital back in December. I weigh the same as I did 1 month ago...actually figured I put some weight on. My liver enzymes which were a mess when I was discharged from the hospital have returned to normal. BP, BOL, HBPM, etc. are all normal. Lungs sound normal and not short of breath, so likely did not suffer any scarring of the lungs that is so common with Covid pneumonia. Maybe all of the steroids they gave me for my lungs was worth it, even tho they were hard on my liver and kidneys for a while. He even released me to go back to work starting Monday

Need to go outside and see what I can get into....take advantage of this decent weather.

Everyone stay safe out there
