30° right now...high in the low 40's...

Heading in to work in a couple hours to help with annual inventory

Yard is a shambles but getting there. House is a shambles but also getting there. about 80 boxes of tiles arriving Tuesday. 4 windows and a sliding door arriving Monday. House completely stripped of vinyl. Utter chaos about to begin. As if it already hasn't begun. New oven and new fridge to go in. Granite benchtop to be measured and fitted once kitchen is in.

Coffee is done brewing. 29° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 39° with cloudy skies. Weather was great yesterday. Thought it would be a good day to take pump and filters out of garden pond. Rack for Mule got put on hold until today. Will work on that and find time to get a haircut. Sassy gets a bath today. She is already looking for a place to hide. Not only can she read. She can read my mind.
Caught moon rise yesterday evening.

Alien, barn is looking good. The shambles will be a lost memory soon.

Mostly, have a good Turkey Roll ride today.

Steppenwolfe, sorry for loss of your friend.

Eric, I would still be wearing my waders. Just in case.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
cold morning, warming up into 50s in nice weather today.
I will be on my knees for a long time today, lot of grouting to do, about 8 feet of walkway,
probably four hours of grouting. Trying to get this section done today so we can open up the walkway for church, but not tomorrow, won't have time
to set up and dry.

went to 1740 house in Lumberville with my brother yesterday for a glass of wine late afternoon, looking out over a quickly
flowing Delaware River. Now sort of a private restaurant club, basically an overflow facility for owner's very successful catering business Holly Hedge.
It was fun, still have a little whiplash from my brother flooring his 600hp BMW. You have to dodge every pothole in that car or risk a thousand dollar wheel break.
35 series tires are just silly for these crummy country roads locally versus my truck's big 60 series tires that roll over anything with a big thunk.

my little fake xmas tree came in yesterday and most of the lights I ordered. I told neighbor across the street she'd better get sunglasses for night time since the glow
will light her up. She just laughed, loves xmas lights, said the more the merrier.

Rubbermaid delivery shows up, startled to see it. No announcement, no call ahead, and crappy box all beat up containing what I hope are the three pieces I needed.

Steppenwolfe, bad news, sorry you lost your friend. This time during the holidays very hard on older folks and covid makes it worse.

Ron, on my big computer screen your moon casts light brightly, sort of lights up my office, your camera/film is capturing a lot of light there.
Too bad solar panels don't work on moonlight.

I bet the wolves were howling at that moon in a grand chorus

No wolves here that I know of. But the Coyote's sure do some howling on a full moon. My dining room gets lit up from the picture.

25 this morning 68 inside leaves falling at rapid pace

Going to be very nice Alien

Prayers for all

Good morning, low temp 30 and high to 34°F. Wind SSE 7 mph. 70% chance of either snow or rain.

Steppenwolfe, sorry for your loss. Death at any time sucks, but the closer to Christmas the more they suck.

Roy, I have 5 hot swapable HD bays, the case has 4 Fans and can be ran with liquid cooling. The case is a Cooler Master HAF 932. I think I am ready for Win 11.
I have been continuously upgrading since 1994 when I got my first computer (IBM 486DX100).

I've not got anything on my plate for today, so I will conserve energy.


Have a safe day all
