28 and some sunshine. Looking for 51.

Bird, sorry to hear your news...hope those meds work.

Stayed too windy all day yesterday for things planned for the tractor, so took the bush axe for a walk and chopped some 1" to 2" poison ivy vines on the pines that the ice storm took down last month. I'll go back with the chain saw once the ground is firm there and use the grapple to move them.

Brought in a few wheelbarrows of firewood...my pallets are getting bare. I'm way behind on filling them for next year due to the weather and soft ground...and the red maples are already beginning to flower so sap is rising. There is a big Maple Syrup Festival in Highland County, up in the far mountains, in mid-March...but it was cancelled this year due to the C. virus. Thomas and Roy, I bet there are lots of those festivals up your way. Nothing better than New Hampshire maple syrup.

Good morning, -4°F and only going to 19. Wind N 12 gusting to 19 mph. 30% chance of flurries.

A dump run today and town. I need to get to the bank, get some money to put down on a new Drolet wood furnace. Just a couple of hundred should do it.

Any of you that eat breakfast sandwiches at Tim Hortons need to be very careful and smell the eggs BEFORE you eat them. I got into a bad couple of egg sandwiches from them two days ago and have been 'paying for them' ever since. I thought they smelled a little bit strong, but didn't heed what my nose was telling me. NEVER again. McDonalds here I come. This is directed at Industrial Tools & check. They both live up here in TH country. I do have a complaint in to TH, but I doubt very much if they will get back to me.


Have a safe day all

Hey, thanks for the heads-up Bill! I will definitely stay away. (The hash browns at McDonalds are better anyway, and my wife likes the Mc coffee better, too!)

Have a nice day, guys - Spring is on the way!

Good Morning
It’s 29 and snowing. Fortunately it’s just a passing shower and not a real snow event. The forecast high is 36 with partly cloudy skies.

Yesterday was a lazy day, dealt with a leaking circulator at my neighbors, did a little refrigeration work at the restaurant, but the high light was trying to explain file organization and storage structure to my wife.
She is constantly “losing” things on her computer, and then getting mad about it. I think that we actually made progress, she now understands basic folder and file structure and where the default locations are. Time will tell.

The ground here is still largely snow covered and frozen, so there isn’t much to do outside. If nothing else comes up, I’ll probably tinker and cleanup in the shop.

All appointments were taken when I checked at 5:30 this morning.

Ron, good news on test. No aliens...
Bill, sorry you got sick. Salmonella can make you very sick for several days. This is a reminder to wash your hands after handling eggs and chicken,
particularly chicken. The US for some reason does not enforce mandatory salmonella prevention in our chickens the same way Europe does.
Likely due to Perdue lobbying. The rationale is that salmonella dies in cooking. Ok, but meanwhile you have it on your hands from the raw meat.
Something like 90 percent of the raw chicken in the US has traces of salmonella. Appetizing?
I try to use a fork and not touch the chicken before cooking, then the fork goes right into dishwasher.

Great advice, Drew. We eat A LOT of chicken, and I am always very careful about wash-up. And don’t forget to wash the whole sink with soapy water after - a lot of people forget about this, and also forget to wash the dishcloth out with soap after.

Bird very sorry to hear this

Good morning! 47˚F heading to the mid 60s sunny skies, North wind at 10mph shifting easterly.
The yard grass is still brown so I mowed it another level shorter at the lowest level #1 on the ego mower.
I spent most of yesterday on the phone with AT&T soon to be my former phone company. They have become difficult to communicate with and very limited on what they can do. T-mobile has a 55 plan for seniors with half price on new phones I'm looking at.

It looks like 1-c in Texas will be essential workers, the vaccines are becoming more prevalent and I suspect by the end of the mont we will be starting 1-c. If you aer healthy, retired and under 65 you are at the bottom of the list, like my better half.
