Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Poured coffee into new insulated coffee cup. 30° with snow this morning. Heading to 41° with rain in PM. Good relaxing day yesterday. Need to replace water filters for whole house today. RO system needs new filters also. Have some LED's to install under window sills on back porch. Not sure how far I will get with that. But will get material layed out.
Fluffed up to beat the cold.

Mostly, well it seemed like 5 hours. Checked the total time for all 7 calls. 4 hours and 22 minutes.

Bird, when we traveled. I like eating out on the patio for christmas in south TX.

David, enjoy the view of flail mowed field. Then it's time to start over again.

Thomas, have a good day at PT job.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Prayers for all

txdon said, "Is anyone finding Covid test hard to find? Our Walgreens sold out."

We have Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance and awhile back they sent each of us two (unsolicited) "COVID-19 Test Home Collection Kit" by Everlywell. Then more recently they sent us two "At Home COVID-19 Test" kits by BD Veritor. So we have 4 of each and haven't opened any of them; just not curious enough I guess, and since we've both had 3 Moderna shots, don't think we have anything to worry about. Or maybe it's just that we're so old we don't expect to live much longer anyway.

txdon said, " I just went with water with my oatmeal this morning because the bean milk just looked like bean juice."

I certainly agree with the idea of trying to go as healthy as possible . . . BUT . . . there are some things I just ain't gonna do and one of them is to use that so-called skimmed milk. We used to call what was left after the milk ran through the separator "Blue John" and it wasn't fit for anything except the hogs. I only buy 100% milk, but we really just don't use much anymore.

I guess I may have acted too quickly, but I went ahead yesterday morning and took down and stored the few outside Christmas lights while we're having this exceptionally warm weather, so I won't have to do that out in the cold later. And I was a bit surprised when Margaret started putting away all the indoor Christmas decorations, and I think she got that all done before she went to bed last night. We still have 63 degrees this morning, going for a high of a sunny 78; really strange weather for this time of year.

good morning all
going to be a messy day, system coming in from West pushing snow ahead of it
We will get flurries and sleet today but temps in high 30's and it all turns to rain later today.
I'm off to dealer this morning to get a turn signal bulb replaced, and will get a spare while I'm at it.
I would normally change this myself but they have hidden the whole headlight/turn signal assembly behind a layer of
plastic covers in the engine compt, the snaps for which were already mostly broken off. I just have to look at those things and they break so
I'll leave this up to them. And I'm going to ask them if anyone claims the 10MM wrench I will take with me.

This afternoon I meet a contractor about snow plowing at the church.

my brother gave me an extra Covid test kit Saturday; none in local drugstores. I ordered two online, due in mid January. Maybe.

Buppies, keep having fun down there, sounds wonderful walking the beach.

23° right now...high about 30...snow showers/mix precip tonight
Main chore is making a dump run this morning

40 outside right now. Heading to mid 40's.

Still recovering from a Christmas Eve dramatic event with horses. One had colic during the evening. Needed a vet call. Seems to be OK this AM.

Need a few days to recover from that, family trying to get together before the New Year. Unfortunate some have come down with Covid, so all plans are off for them.

Other than the above, a great weekend with excellent weather which reinforced a better attitude for unfolding current events. Plumbing issues took the weekend off. Need to address some of them today.

Hope all have a good day. 2022 cannot come fast enough.

Be safe.

38 going to 49. Pretty pink and purple sunrise. Birds and chipmunks out early this morning.

Buppies, have a safe trip.

Don, you're a good sport on the oak milk...and I guess calling any of it milk is easier than saying "non-dairy beverage." Bird, I don't drink a lot of milk, but it's always skim. We used to milk our goats, which has an even higher fat content than cow's milk. It was for our youngest son, who had a milk allergy when he was young. Over a couple of years we milked two different goats, Nubian and Oberhasli...each tasted different.

Mostly, lots of 'em left.

My mom texted me last night that my sister and her husband tested positive yesterday (fully vaxxed)...that's where my 90 YO mom (fully vaxxed) was all day on Christmas Day, as well as my unvaxxed niece's family. Not good news. I'll call her today and learn more.

We had another 72F day so, played outdoor games yesterday.

Good Morning
It’s 30 degrees and going to 35 with a rain/snow mix by noon.
Nice red sunrise this morning.

Yesterday was a pretty lazy day, big event was grandson’s first ride in the little plane with his father. It was just about 24 years ago that I sent his father out to solo that same plane at the same airport.
It appears that he shares the interest in aviation that his father and I have, that my other son and daughter lack.

Not much scheduled for today, tomorrow I’ve got a trip to Palm Beach that will kill the day, but that’s only the second trip this month that I have had to fly, so it’s a welcome diversion from the lack of tractor chores or snow.
