Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

Got Rick's recommended Phone charging pad delivered today and is works good right through the otter protective case. I ordered another for my wife's phone since it's still $10 off. Cha-ching.

I had some issues with mail theft back in the late '80s, BEF. I was ordering a lot of music CDs back then, and someone apparently took notice. Talked with the postmaster, who told me they'd turn it over to the postal inspector's office. Never heard anything more about it, but the thefts eventually stopped.

Sorry you're having to deal with that.

Not sure theft from box is the issue, but rather USPS claiming delivery when it wasn’t. At least this will alert me whenever someone opens the box. I have a camera aimed at my mailbox, and mail did come at 2:21 pm when post office said they dropped it Tuesday. However, last package that USPS claimed they delivered, no delivery on camera for a 3 hr window around the time they claimed. I live on busy road, lots of vehicles and camera catches most. But takes a long time to watch thru it all. With a time stamp from this, I’ll be able to find the video quickly. Mail box also on other side of road, I can’t see if they actually put a package in, so would like a camera in the box.

Is hydro water or electricity in Canada?

Electricity.

The juice came back on after being out for 5 hours. I went to bed and just got up to p about an hour ago. I will probably stay up till about 6 A.M. then go back for a power nap. Being an over the road truck driver has its' perks. I can go to sleep almost anytime I want to, get up about 4+ hours later and go again until later and still get to sleep again.

Higher than normal winds brought tree branches down onto the wires and that killed the juice. It happens every time we get strong winds from the west, east, north or south and all points in between. Wind now down to 13 mph out of the west.

50 right now and steadily dropping all day...it'll be in the 30 when I get off work at 1530.

Didn't get the tires out of the outbuilding...think I'll do that tomorrow (Saturday) after the dump run...

Coffee is done brewing. 36° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 51° with scattered clouds. Temperature made it to 68° yesterday. But lots of wind. Recorded on my weather station 36 mph. It's protected and does usually read ture max wind. I did not conserve energy as planned. Made a cardboard template of the rear window area on mule. Cut Lexan and installed it. Very happy with it. Grocery shopping today. No other plans yet.
Not as brilliant as AZ. Good for MI.

Buckeye, what did you get for mailbox alert. The one I bought a couple of years ago has never worked reliably. Batteries are the problem.

David, great dog picture. Puppy has grown fast.

Don, hope your Moms mower is only the switch.

Buppies, prayers for good surgery outcome today.

RS, rain missed me yesterday. Need some rain to clean winter off everything.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Good Morning
55 and forecast to go to 63 today.

Yesterday’s trip went well, but I really didn’t get any thing done when I got home other to run a few errands.

Today I’ve got to drive back to the Philly airport (an hour each way) to oversee an oxygen service that didn’t get accomplished previously. I’m spoiled by having a good running, well oiled organization, so it’s annoying when I have deal with stuff like this.

After that, it should be a good day. Guitar player coming again, kids are all coming for dinner. Reminds me, i need to stop at the grocery store on the way back from the airport.

No vaccination appointment yet, but I’m still hopeful.

61 going to 70, and maybe showers, which would be nice, to knock down pollen. Went outside with the spotlight last night and pointed it up...incredible amount of little specks floating on the wind. Daffodils have been blooming for a week, and now many of the trees are.

Prayers said for your surgery today, Buppies.

Kyle, sounds like you are handling your son's behavior well. The trail wasn't too steep, except at the falls...the hiking app said 5.3 miles, and 1,024 feet of elevation climb.

Was cutting firewood yesterday when I walked over to a spot to cut up some large fallen oak limbs. Almost stepped on a woodcock. After it flew, only about 50 feet, I noticed 4 eggs on the ground in a small nest, so I left quietly and won't be back until after they hopefully hatch and move on. The Carolina wrens have also built a nest right over our front door in a decoration my wife was about to take down...so that stays a while, too.

good morning all. Another nice day, high in low 60's, sun and clouds.
Am off early to local hospital to get second covid shot, then hope I can do a walk in and get my left
shoulder blade xrayed. I think I've either torn something in there or my arthritis has just gone nuts there since
it really hurts to even put a shirt on, outdoor coat even harder.
The joys of getting older, and looking behind to see if any parts have fallen off...

good luck with today's snip session Buppies. Hopefully small good margins and you are out of there. Sorry for the pain and
I'm sure aggravation

later this morning friend coming over to help me set up new pc and transfer data. New one turned on and lit up, so that works, friend bringing
second network cable so both pc's can access internet. My biggest problem will be the passwords. Will likely have to start all over on many of them.
Admit I have reduced my password count to 2 for memory. I use the name of my old boat which the bad guys aren't likely to know. Plus a capital plus some numbers.
Sure would be nice if file transfer included working passwords but my experience has been poor in the past having this go easily. Maybe newer transfer software is better.
Can't wait to see how fast SSD boot up will be.

 

[Buppies]

Another warm day 58 now high in 70s getting drier and drier

prayers for all our country

About time to get ready should only be a thing

David, one of the nicest dog pics I've seen.

thanks
friend said he had software, don't know the name of it plus he has some powerful wipe software when we are all done.
So much of the software has now gone to subscription service that not sure what will work any more.
I haven't even turned on my new pc and I've already gotten a bill from Microsoft for 80 bucks a year renting home outlook.

you may want to let it run a bit as it will need to do Windows updates for sure all new systems do that when first turned on could take a while to get current.

Industrial Tools & check, the hydro went out here at 5:35 P.M.
Have you guys still got it?

No power outage here, but the lights flickered a bit!

 

[Thomas]

40F clear sky low 50's for high winds gusting 15-25+ at times.

Enjoy the day all.

It was certainly windy last night, and we do get power outages during windstorms, but we were lucky last night. A bit surprising, actually.

Meanwhile, we tapped some more Maple trees, but with our mixed forest and of course no leaves it is a bit hard to tell. And we have fewer Maples than I expected. (A LOT of White Pine.)

More buckets going out today. But first, coffee time, served in bed by SWMBO!
