Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

Got down to 20 for the second night in a row, two of our coldest nights all year. High today 48, 40 right now. Then sixties and seventies for a few days, that’ll be nice.
We went to my FIL’s house yesterday to meet SIL’s new puppy, I probably could have found some other things to do, but...
Not too much planned today, but have a busy week after that.
Buppies, good luck on the surgery, and God bless.

Mostly, my son tells me the Tri Power setup is the drawback.
Have a good day.

Good morning to all! Low of only 35, going up to near 60. Going to get the storm front from RNG tomorrow.... only problem with that is it will only be wind, no precipitation. Wind, wind, and more wind Tuesday through Friday....

The sons were able to unload the lumber materials over the weekend, used the tractor to unload a full bunk of 4x6's that were still banded together. It took all the tractor could do, but it was able to lift it.

Today is first day of PT, well, an evaluation at least.... another session scheduled for tomorrow to actually do something....

Also need to go to the grocery store, the pre-surgery stockpile has finally dwindled down. Shouldn't be too big an order.

The side link for the tractor should arrive today. It won't get installed for a while, but at least I'll have it. Prices on everything have gone up and I don't think prices are going to come down, only up a bit more...

I hope everyone has a good day and start to the week!

Don, would that plastic house be a fire hazard? I didn't get audio on that video, so not sure what the material was.

It's not plastic it's cement, sand and other additives.

Toppop, the last time I called AT&T about their M-Cell they no longer will support it since they expect everyone to use the Wi/Fi signal. Since you have to plug it into a router they are correct in that everyone with the M-Cell has internet service. One problem they are saying with the M-cell is that any AT&T phone within range can use it and use your internet signal through the m-cell, it cannot be secured from others use.

No problem if you want it back. It is good if you do not have a wi/fi option on your phone and you are in a very rural area.

31F and cloudy @ 10:00, turning partly cloudy later and headed up to a high of 57F for the day. Warmer through Friday, then cooler ... rain starts on Thursday, with a chance of rain/snow showers next Monday.

Heard coons going at it again last night ... so they are out and about, and quite active, judging from the sound of it.

Got last of living room tank water drained and gravel cleaned and stowed away in a Homer bucket while it dries. Need to move the tank this morning, level it, and then fill it. Drew another 12 gallons of water yesterday, which has probably warmed up by now.

Still have some equipment to clean up (heater, hoods, etc.) and locate/fix a leak on the canister filter. Hoping it is only an o-ring/gasket.

Need to put together a grocery order today, currently out of frozen shrimp (fish food), so need to put that on the order.

Amazon order out on truck(s) for delivery - looks like one will be Amazon and the other will be the Post Office.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ...

Good afternoon, nice and dry here if you believe the forecasters, the rain that was been falling this morning must all be in my imagination. Got the first dozen ewes back yesterday afternoon, their lambs are not too impressed with my imaginary rain either.

Check, are you planning to move back back "down South" soon, or is Maple syrup season a good reason to stay in Dorset ?

Eric, try wrapping a clove hitch knot around your post and pulling up with FEL. I wonder how much deeper it goes down?

Kyle, thanks for suggestion, posts are 4' deep . My roping attempts didn't work well before, the best grip I got was with a ratchet strap, drawback was that needed quite a big hole to work the ratchet.

Ken, even if not completely finished, that seat looks a good place to take a rest while you ponder what you could do with all that sawdust

Good to see that wheelbarrow put to good use.

I don’t want or need it Don, I was just messing with you. I used it when my old iPhones weren’t supported for WiFi calling by AT&T. The phones were capable, but AT&T only supported 6s and up and we had 5’s back then. I’m glad you got some use from it but I think it’s time to recycle the carcass.

Good morning, 18°F now and a high of 37. Was 2 above zero when I left here this morning. Wind SE 8 mph. 30% chance of rain or snow.

I ran through freezing rain, both ways at Huntsville. Other than that it was an uneventful tour. Used a gallon and a half of windshield washer juice, but that is the way of winter in the north. I'm home now and plan on doing nothing for the rest of the day.


Have a safe day all
