Good morning, the low temp was 33 and going to 48°F. Wind SW 10 mph. 40% chance of showers.

A dump run is in the cards for today, then get baked.

I have a major problem with my hands and legs cramping up IF I get into too much sweet foods. Orange juice and soda water 1/2 and 1/2 usually fixes it up, but knowing that I will NOT be making candied yams for turkey day. I will cook the sweet potatoes then cut the meat out and put a very little bit of dark maple syrup on them and a healthy pat of butter in the skins.

Time to get busy at something,

Have a safe day all

looking forward to pics of BEF's new car.
r.

Me too, don’t know what the holdup is.

Haven’t heard about closing on land either. Contract is for Monday at latest.

God has given is another day to try to get it right!

Plans for the day include finishing the Halloween decorations, and FINALLY starting assembly of our sawmill - life has ways of “rearranging” schedules !

Yes

And what type of sawmill?

morning, 52 going up to 59, sun is up.
Microwave is here, starting prep and cleanup and ready to install the back plate and start drilling and making a mess.

Bonfire at neighbors tonight and kid off to school fair.

Happy thanksgiving to our Canadian friends.

Sounds like a great day BEF, and leaving some worries (old job) behind

Mostly - did the the police say "this was only a test" as they left :cool:

Drew - take some relax time-know you like to keep busy, but don't forget time to stare at the greenery

Well of to install Microwave, have fun.

Today I am out early cleaning up branches to get ready for the tree cutters next week.
3 pine trees leaning wrong way will be taken down. They wanted to do the clean up but since it is something I am capable of doing I asked them to only cut down the trees and let the logs/branches fall where they may and Amando agreed. Amando is from Mexico and he has quite a business around here.
Shared some stories with him from when I was managing the warranty phase for a gas turbine power plant in Mexico.
I want to get the pine trees that I felled completely cleared off before he shows up.
My wifes rheumatoid arthritis is preventing her from doing a lot of things so I can only be gone an hour or two to work outside. I make frequent breaks to check on her and put another log in the stove. She loves to take drives in the country side around here on the small two lane roads. I will usually take her on drives almost daily and now the leaves are changing it will very pretty as well.

Good morning! It was 32 when I got up this morning. A bit of a preview of what lies ahead.

Didn’t do much yesterday. Didn’t sleep well night before, felt lousy most of the day. Did make stuffed banana peppers for dinner with peppers from the garden. They were good.

Wind made it feel cooler than it was yesterday. Did sit down and sort through my wiring for vehicle projects. I have a 1952 BSA to make a loom for, and of course I need to order some wire to match the color code. Or fudge it, which is possible. Also had to order some Brit bullet terminals. My supply is low.

Not sure what today will bring. Wife is making noises about a plumbing project that will likely ruin my day.

Everyone stay safe out there

Dump run is done...boy, there was a lot of it!!
Lawn needs mowing...need to get some gas though. Should have got a few gallons when I made the dump run. Not going back out today...need winterized diesel anyway, so a good task for tomorrow.
It's cool outside (46°) and I think I'll watch the leaves fall and continue work tomorrow. Maybe a movie this afternoon...or a couple old Twilight Zone episodes would be nice. It's a bit early, but one of my favorite episodes was "Night of the Meek", a Christmas story from the early 1960's (when Rod Serling was still the narrator). Sweet story...

70°F and .34 inches rain.

Sophie got a hip X-ray. Her right leg is a bit shorter than left since her accident in 98. This causes stress when walking. She does wear a lift in her shoe to mitigate but walks significantly more either barefooted or just slippahs. Hoping her cbd kicks in.

Stopped at a new to us Mexican place. Not much more than a hole in the wall on the highway. Simple menu, cash only. Food was excellent and owner quite personable. Will eat there again.

I see painting & staining in todays activities. Possibly get the new range hood installed as well as some shelving and trim work.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good morning! 60˚F heading to the upper 80s clear skies.
Mom liked her new garage sale find bargain ($35) wheelchair ($200 on Amazon). Now I have ordered accessories for it that exceeded the purchase price - padded seat, wheel covers and arm rest covers.
The handle bolt rusted off her favorite 1 quart saucepan she has had since the 50s that she uses every day and it does not appear to be fixable. But I did find one exactly like it on E-bay for $8.50 so she will be happy about that.
(Like the one below)
