Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning (well evening anyway)..... apparently my post this morning is lost somewhere in the cloud....

The low this morning was at 34, high only reached 62. The wind persisted throughout all of last night.... the strongest gust was at 01:44, 51mph. Woke me up and kept me awake until 04:00, when it slowed to 20-25 mph.

This morning, it was just breezy, but by 11:00, the wind was back with a vengeance. A gust of 64 was recorded this afternoon. I am hoping the weather guessers are correct and the wind subsides as predicted.

Mostly, yes I was able to get that last corner trim done. As I was packing up the tools, the wind really picked up. Got it done just under the wire!

Today picked up 4 - 2x4s to remake the shed doors, also a couple of boxes of pneumatic nails, and a gallon of builders grade paint..... $97.... the boxes of nails tripled in price! Things have gotten expensive. At least the 2x4s were back down in price....only $4.15

By the time I got home, it was time to pick up the 2 grandsons (early dismissal). Then got just over an hour out in the shop cutting the pieces for the doors. The knee started complaining, so called it quits. Tomorrow is another day.

I hope everyone had a great day!

Just stepped outside to move the pressure washer into the garage.

It’s spitting snow … tiny little flakes … but snow nonetheless …

While I have the cladding off the house I have fitted 3 new windows and have ordered 4 more and a sliding door. Plumbing was done. Just waiting for the electrician to finish before I refit the cladding.
The old windows were silver and getting worn after 60 years. New external insulated cladding is going over the top of the green cladding.

55 degrees going for 70 with a 20 to 30 mph breeze today. The little front that went through here yesterday gave me about a 1 minute breeze (literally, or probably even less than 1 full minute), then an almost dead calm with a very slow but steady or continuous rain (well, a sprinkle anyway). I had just gotten up when it started at 3 a.m. and that sprinkling rain lasted until about 9 a.m. So a 6 hour rain put a little less than 3/4 inch of rain in my gauge.

I can't even remember seeing such weather. When it rains here, some ALWAYS blows in on the patio, but not this time.

36° right now...high in the mid-50's today...

Took a "short" nap after giving wifey her lunch...ended up sleeping all afternoon into the early evening. That was a bummer...got nothing done after noonish...
Hopefully, a more alert day today...

Poured first cup of coffee. 46° with mostly cloudy skies. Heading to 60° with mostly cloudy skies. Got Mule washed and PW and hoses put away for winter. Did not go to Sams Club. Roads were wet so I stayed home. Washed car day before. On the list today. Change oil in car today.
Looking for old threads yesterday I came across many old names that I had posted to. Many of them still are active on TBN. But do not post to the area's that I post in. Maybe I should get out to more areas of TBN more.
Keeping an eye on me.

Bird, sounds like Michigan rain.

LS, glad you got trim done before you got blown away.

Alien, different people like different things.

Buckeye, I have a lot of picture problems with both posting and seeing. I use Chrome to see them on iPad.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

Mostly gas.
No I don't run extra security because it disables Windows Defender if I do. Apparently it is pretty good now compared to Win 10.
