Good morning!!!!

[WoodChuckDad]

Radar shows snow, but couldn’t tell looking out window. Maybe very light.

Back to bed.

I looked out the window at 4 am and it was nothing. There is a good dusting on everything now. Supposed to amount to 4 inches. The snow plows are going back and forth on the main (road 4 times so far) and the noise is unbelievable. I cant imagine what they are plowing. There is only a dusting of snow right now.
I guess you give a guy a hammer ……

34 outside this AM. Freezing drizzle slop with white like substance on ground. Supposedly we have reached the high for today. 5 to 10 inches of snow are possible.

Last night at 11:00PM I blanketed a few horses and the temp was in the 50's. A nice wind was picking up, and well, a storm is upon us.

Had a lot of fun the last few days. A nice fresh start to the New Year.

Prayers for your mom, Kyle.

Safe travels, David.

Hoping all have a great day, my friends in VA, be careful today with the weather. Be safe.

19 degrees this morning, going for a sunny 51 and after today non-freezing weather to be back (we hope).

Good Morning.
It’s 29 with some of that invisible snow outside. High of only 30 today, snow supposed to become visible and end by noon.

Yesterday was another lazy day, did a little shop work, some time on the computer doing paperwork, but mostly just trying to get comfortable. Got a great nights sleep though, so can’t complain.

Today is up for grabs, might help on a geothermal repair with my mechanical contractor buddy, waiting to hear if today is the day. Other than that nothing planned, but something always crops up.

Good Morning! 18 F wind is calm. Up early because of rescheduling of my PT from 1pm to 8am, augg. The rest of the session are scheduled later, I'm not a morning person when it come to torture.

Drew hope there is notification of any delays or cancelations before you take off. I had a premonition one time that my friend and family flying into Houston from East Germany were not on the plane and called the airline to see if they were on it. They were not saved me a trip across town. He died in Germany of a heart attack while loading up the car for the airport. I found out later that day when we were able to reach his work (bag) cell phone. His wife said she sent a telegram - we got the telegram (in the mail) the next day. First and last telegram I ever received.

Popgadget, a vegan diet rich in greens with no sugar or caffein are healing for shingles. I know, it is not the diet you want to hear about the last week of December, but this is January.

Tomorrow is week 3 since surgery and this week I learn how to walk without limping in PT. I quit using the rolling walker a week ago and now I do not need the cane but it reminds me to walk heel/toe and not limp. I can drive If I abstain from pain killers but it's still too uncomfortable. At least I'm going 8 hours between pills instead of the prescribed 4 and also just half dosage. If it would not be for PT and sleep I could get off them. Soon.

Kyle, hope they diagnose your Mother and she is on the way toward healing.

9° right now...high in the upper teens today.
Back to work tomorrow (on-site for tomorrow, not sure about the rest of the week yet), so the dump run must be today. My shoulder/upper arm is much better except for the occasional twinge. After the dump run, I have a few work-related odds and ends I want done before actually returning on-site.
Wifey has an appointment in Lebanon, NH (Dartmouth Hitchcock hospital)...not too far from Thomas' place, I think.

Added@1108:
Got the 5 bags loaded...got to the dump (transfer station) to find it was closed...bummer. Normally, I don't leave trash outside due to the bears, but I reckon they're all napping.
Turns out Stepdaughter does work tomorrow, so I'll work from home and make the run tomorrow

Oh I forgot, wife is changing her menu for the Instant Pot demonstration at the WFPB meeting. Instead of garlic mashed potatoes she will be making a chocolate cake. First one turned out with no improvements necessary.

Good Morning!!!! 47F @ 5:00AM. Showers early, then becoming windy with a steady rain for the afternoon. High near 50F. Winds SSE at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 80%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.

Drew, here's a page with flight info that might be of help to you on your trip today.

Welcome to the GM thread, WoodChuckDad!

Around noon yesterday I snipped the zip ties holding a tarp over the burn pile and lit it off, than sat off to the side in the side-by-side watching it grow. There was a nice breeze from the south that fanned the flames, and after a half hour, most of the light brush was ashes. Fired up the tractor and moved more brush onto the fire, then started bringing in downed trees and limbed them, throwing the limbs into the fire. That went on pretty much the rest of the day, and I was able to get through four trees. Still a lot to go, but it's a start. Rain is supposed to begin around noon, and before that the wind will pick up, so I'll go out again with the tractor and bank the coals one more time in hopes the embers won't be cast around. Things are still pretty wet, but after the recent Colorado fire, one can't be too cautious.

Other than that, it's an inside day, probably get caught up on some paperwork.

Hope everyone gets a good start on this first Monday of the new year!

Morning all, 34 and preparing to snow. Guess the 50 degree weather has left for a bit.

Sodamo-love how the cabinets look-nice use of space.
Kyle - prayers for your mom
LS - hope the kids are ok and get over being sick quickly
Don- sounds like good progress on the walking
Buppies how are you today?

Drew- safe travels- if you get a chance, as you approach the airport- look to the left for a tower and spinning top.
That's the ASDE3 radar tower I worked on when I was in my 20's -

Stay safe and be well,

Wngsprd felt nothing here

kenmbz I’m ok thanks for asking just a lot to deal with
Kyle hope your mom is better this morning

Wind is howling in SC this morning

Snow at home not sure how much yet

 

[daugen]

invisible snow here too, air must be dry enough to be absorbing the precip
I'm fine with that, makes for an easier drive.

RNG, thank you. I'm using the airports own system and she just emailed me saying they were boarding on time.

Ken, I might try a little sightseeing if I were the passenger but that road requires every bit of one's concentration if you don't know where you are going.
I need the cell phone lot for United terminal C and I need to keep left for that I believe.

roads are heavily salted
going to be clouds of white stuff today
makes you wonder what all that ice melt does to the environment.
so much ice melt in supermarket lot this morning I had to sit on side of car seat kicking my
shoes to get it all off. Stuff gets tracked everywhere.

12°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 34° today. Chilly out there. Looks like we might hit lows in the single digits later this week.

Stepson made it back home to Texas last night, said they had no weather problems at all.

txdon said, "Up early because of rescheduling of my PT from 1pm to 8am, augg. The rest of the session are scheduled later, I'm not a morning person when it come to torture."

I'm the exact opposite. No matter where I'm going or what it's for, I want the earliest available appointment time. And I sure do NOT want a pm appointment.

 

[riptides]

Hmm... getting slammed here with snow. Now calling for 8 to 12 inches. Power and internet are in and out.

Looks like about 4 to 5 inches already, with a pretty strong wind.

Will go outside to check on the animals. gather some more firewood, and call it a day.

Should be a fun time around here driving and commuting. Not.

Costco went to put the new tires on, and the guy came out and said the new tires (bought from Costco online) didn’t have a mileage warranty. So they are switching to another tire they have in stock that have 70k mile warranty. I never heard of a new tire without a warranty.

The non warranty tires are same as I have, which were from Costco and had a warranty.

No snow here yet, but it’s just south of here. I see snow covered cars in the lot.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Buckeye, keeping old tires? They rot just sitting on a shelf.

.

That bird is saying, “and it’s all mine”

The tires still have half tread.

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! Low was 9°, going up to 40°. No precipitation forecast for the next week. Looks like Cali is going to dry up too....

Today will encompass finishing up on the RV cleaning.... yesterday was a conserve energy day .... the back really appreciated it. It has really gotten a bit better.

Mostly, yes, hot shower / tub usually works wonders. We also have a couple of those 'rice bags' that you put in the microwave. They work fantastic.

Ron, nice pic as usual. The bird has a look of "what's this ?" ...and having a bad hair day... I will try the streak remover today... definitely planned to let the dealer wax it.

No word so far this morning on how my daughter is feeling. She was just having minor cold-like symptoms. We are praying that it stays that way.

Drew, be careful going to the airport, really crazy traffic around there.

I hope the snow you guys are getting doesn't cause too many inconveniences. Stay warm and safe.

Everyone have a great day!

Since this is the first official 'work day' of the new year..... WOOHOO! Official retirement has begun! Now to see what trouble I can get into.....

I was warned last week by the home PT that if I wanted to ride a stationary bike that I will not be able to make the pedals go all the way around - that would not happen till I got 110˚ knee flexion. This morning me new knee was measured at 95˚ the most flexation since surgery. When I was put on the recumbent PT bike this morning and just went back and forth with the pedals as expected for the first 5 minutes and then whoops the pedals went all the way around, it surprised me. I picked up speed and was finally feeling like I was accomplishing something. But then disappointingly the therapist stopped me and move my seat in closer making it impossible to make a revolution and I reverted to back and forth again, until I accidentally went all the way around again and was picking up speed till the therapist again move the seat up and had to do the back and forth thing again, but then it went all the way around again, more painfully but I was able to complete 15 minutes of biking. I might go to the gym later and ride unmolested and see if the non PT recumbent bike has a larger sprocket.

Prayers for Sophie.
