Good morning!!!!

With Tesla moving to Texas, seems like quite a tech surge there.
I'm just glad someone is building these chips here in US.

Good morning, low temp 15 and high 19°F. Wind N 16 gusting to 24 mph. Snow! Expecting an inch which we got overnight.

I am not going to do anything with that snow.

A dump run today and then imitate a couch potato for the rest of the day.


Have a safe day all

With Tesla moving to Texas, seems like quite a tech surge there.
I'm just glad someone is building these chips here in US.

I drove by the Tesla building last week, it is huge - 3/4 mile long.
"The Tesla Gigafactory is expected to be the largest buiding in the world - 1.21 km long - while still being powered by renewable energy, primarily solar. The current structure has a footprint of more than 1.9 million square feet, which houses approximately 5.3 million square feet of operational space across several floors."

The upcoming Tesla facility in Texas is being touted as the largest building in the world.

Good morning! 28 now, 41 later. We have a chance of flurries today, but not holding my breath. Wind was blowing pretty good early this morning.

Slept in this morning. If 6:15 is considered sleeping in. Wife is working today, I am off. Not sure what I am gonna get into.

Thanksgiving was good yesterday. Actually didn’t eat too much for once. Good being with family this year. My wife’s candied sweet potatoes were a hit as usual. Got home and was just tired. Neither one of stayed up late. I did have a glass of Buffalo Trace bourbon as a toast to a better Thanksgiving last evening.

One year today was not so good. Spent a mostly sleepless night on the couch and in bed. No appetite, no energy, fever of 101+ most of the day. I did my daily online status with Cleveland Clinic, the response was my “symptoms were getting worse”. I think this was the last time I did the online thing. I didn’t have the energy or the concentration. Lack of concentration was becoming a bigger problem for me. I did manage to take a shower, this was the last time I would get a shower until late December.

Hope Gray is doing better Don.

Everyone stay safe out there!

I was watching the parade for about an hour and was disappointed. Between the live performances and commercials very few floats were shown.

Same here.

Gray2 got his Christmas present early this year. It’s a heated cat bed. He is eating less every day and getting weak. We are spoon feeding him but he has lost his appetite. He is 16 years old.

He’s a very contented kitty, he’s had the life so many could only dream of, and he’ll be waiting for you when he gets to the other side.

speaking of low hanging cars, made me wonder who has had the car that scraped the road the most.
Growing up my older brother worked on clapped out Austin Healey 100-4s in the barn garage, nothing like the smell
of Girling brake fluid in the morning. And that car had an exhaust system that must have hung down more than normal because
he had to fix it several times. Here's a pic of the same car after it "grew up" into a model 3000. A very pretty car IMHO.
But look at that muffler. And that's best case. I can remember a Sunday afternoon where a beautiful BRG 3000 was parked on the side of the road
with a guy trying to reach underneath, right past our very bumpy train tracks on Aquetong Road. You know, the kind of train tracks where you have to slow down
seriously as there is a big drop just past the tracks.

The 3000 and XKE convertible are my two favorite British sports cars.

Dinner went better than I expected, met a couple of new people, very nice folks, watched football. Food was OK, but I wouldn’t order it given a choice. .37” of rain overnight, 51 now but about to nosedive soon, wind is building. Expecting 20-30, with gusts over 40.
Pulled up the last of the summer flowers, the last couple of frosts did them in.
Wife is shopping with her daughter, I’m going to visit mine later, also have to call my Kiwi friend to set up a lunch date next week.
Other than that I’m not planning too much.
Happy anniversary wingsprd.

Good morning to all! Low of 17, the coldest yet.... Going up to 55 today, back up into the low 60's for the weekend.

Wng, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! to you and Mrs. Wng.

Not sure what I will get into today, I may start with the Christmas tree set up first, then maybe some outdoor lights (usually a multi-day process to begin with). I am thinking the lights might get scaled back this year.....until I get started.... then things seem to snowball into a larger display.
OR....
I might get started with the sanding on the woodworking project.....
OR....
a combination of both.... maybe not....I might just go fly an r/c plane....
decisions, decisions.....

The knee was acting up again last night, much better this morning, but still complaining. I am not sure what, if anything, has caused this irritation. I have been sitting more than usual, so maybe that's causing it. It's been 10 months since the surgery.... one would think it should be healed by now....

Well, the outdoor temp just hit 50... gonna get moving .....
Everyone have a great day!

Made a dump run...pretty surprised it was open, actually.
I moved the Gator out of the garage in case stepdaughter wants to park inside (probably will, if we get snow).
Also moved the tractor so I can rearrange the garage (again)
