First cup of coffee has cooled enough to drink. 15° with light snow this morning. Heading to 22° with off and on snow. Grocery shopping when well. All stock up for cold weather headed this way next week. Did not get anything else done. Back to getting sewing room they way I want it. No other plans for today.
Michigan Covid cases 628,012. Deaths 16,027. Oakland county cases 72,750. Deaths 1,944.
Kyle, prayers for you and family.
KCY, hope there was no injuries. Seen ice come off trucks many times. :welcome: to Good Morning Thread.
Drew, did you get snowblower fixed?
Randy, but some of them oversized rodents have talents. Just look for Wiarton Willie. He posted on Twitter.
Buckeye, isn't the line to ask for the money if you did not get it.
LS, sure hope surgery went as planned. Special prayers sent.
Don, Sassy always check for yellow snow. Then adds more yellow.
Everyone stay healthy and safe.
Good Morning All.

I can't without a big vise and the right tools, neither of which I have
bent lip on auger, 3/4" gravel in driveway just right size to get jammed in gaps.
First time I used it I had to replace shear pin. This last time something bent.
Dealer picking it up on Monday, will be interesting to see how fast they return a snowblower
that clearly is in prime season. 90 bucks to pick it up and bring it back and I bet they don't cover
bent metal under warranty...

36 here this morning and still raining. I think it rained 2 inches yesterday, supposed to rain the rest of the weekend. I need that Merc on a boat in my yard. Sitting here with my favorite cup on coffee blend reading what you guys have going on. I have a month before i have to go to Wisconsin for work. I sure hope the weather there gets better. I think I'll go start my 2 new tractors today and get a list of some items that I need to go buy for them and make a trip to Ag Supply. They have all of those types of parts that our Asian friends have duplicated. Hope you guys get some warmer weather and melt some of the snow and ice.

29 and freezing rain all day...going to 30, so many weather warnings coming in.
Alien, that's sure a pretty place.
Got the LLC taxes filed after arm wrestling turbotax a couple of times...now onto doing my own.
Watching the yearling deer chase each other in the snow got us laughing yesterday.

8 degrees at the moment. Sitting on the couch with my coffee watching the sun come up through my south/east window. low 20's for today with snow in the forecast. Pellet stove is using fuel at twice the normal rate as it's so cold. We even closed off the unused bedrooms to try and contain the heat to the living area. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Drew-Sorry about your mom! Prayers sent.
Haircut? What's that. Mine hasn't grown in years! I actually shave my head every morning while I'm doing my face.
I hope all the states not used to the snow and cold are able to stay safe!
Going to be doing some carpentry work in an unheated garage today. That should be fun.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy! And warm!

Good Morning
It’s 25 and not going up much today with snow/freezing rain/sleet this afternoon.
Drew, if you have a large adjustable wrench, it’s surprising how well they will bend metal.
Yesterday’s snowplow project went well. Got to use the Eastwood press brake to bend 3/8 x 4” flat bar. The issue was that with the loader arms all the way down, they could scrape the pavement surface and mark it up. It shouldn’t be an issue because the optimum height to get the correct blade angle is 6” or so off the ground. But in the real world I needed protection from myself, because while maneuvering I would occasionally let the loader arms bottom out. My solution was to add skids to the bottom of the snow blade’s SSQA that would prevent the loader arms from scraping the ground.
It looks like it will work, but we’ll se on the next plowable snow.
Got a lot done on the speakers, one will likely ship today as the grills came back from powder coating, so it’s ready for final assembly.
Still no luck with vaccination. Checked pharmacy site at 5:45 this morning and all appointments were already taken.
