Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Drinking first cup of coffee. 38° with fog this morning. Heading to 41° with chance of get some clear skies in late afternoon. Ended up changing RO and water filters yesterday. Cleaning shop is still on to do list. Hope to get a haircut today. Need to keep an eye out for clear enough sky to get a picture of full moon. Should be visible from 4:30 pm today to 7:30am Thursday.

Kyle, prayers for your Mom and kids.

Scaredy, being stable enough to operate a chainsaw can be a problem for lots of people. Neighbor lady wanted to try my electric chainsaw. After watching her do a couple of cuts. Decided that she would be better off using the pole saw. Kept her 3' away from the chain.

Everyone one stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
surprisingly warm 52 out now, high of 58 in clouds

Ron, good idea about distance to saw blade.

not much planned today. Will be too wet to do much outside, but might find a home for the second inflatable outside.
Tired of the fan noise inside...

I need to change my water filters today also. Just keep forgetting...

47 outside this AM, heading to 60 today.

May venture into the woods today and cut up some more downed trees.

Mostly, the deer are car victims, except the one was skinned. We have had drop offs before. Some people have no respect.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

December 7th, take a moment to remember.

thanks for reminder Rip.
Never an upbeat thought, other than triumph over evil.
My sister's birthday is day JFK got shot.
Some days carry memories we wish never happened.

Both my Father and Uncle were in Pacific in WWII.
Good thing he came back or I wouldn't be here.
Now the Japanese are our friends.
People get along, governments don't.

Prayers for the remaining families who had parents and grandparents on those ships in Oahu.
I have family living on that island now.

wonder how goopy these filters are. Likely will improve my water pressure.
that discovery will be the excitement of my day.
Need to take heavy calcite filter out and shake it to make sure enough rock still in there.
I have a spare, remarkably heavy things. The odor and sediment filters go into the land fill unfortunately.

I wonder if there is an animal that would eat them. A goat? Plastic bits probably not good for the goat.

Good morning, low temp 32 and a high of 34°F. Wind calm. 40% chance of flurries. Winter is here. Today is the last day above freezing for a week.

I am going to trouble shoot the reasons why I couldn't hook up the V plow the other day. IF I can get it on today, then it will probably stay on all winter, at least until I have to move piles.

I am seriously thinking about a hydraulic thumb for the backhoe. I only have one pair of remotes coming off the tractor, but I think I can plumb the thumb off the down side of the landing gear from either side. A three way valve off the pressure side of the right landing gear (stabilizer) should do the trick for closing the thumb and to open it to the return line on the same stabilizer. I have a mechanical thumb now. Does anybody know if this will work or not?

david, Nice pics of your volcano. I am about as close to a volcano now as I EVER want to be now.

Although I wasn't here at the time, I will never forget Pearl Harbour.
We must thank the **** for joining up with ******, though. It got the U.S. of A. into the war and with their help both got defeated.

Have a safe day all

Woke up, was having a dream I had filled a plastic tote with diesel fuel, put it on one of those hitch racks you see behind vehicles, I was backing up, it fell off, and I lost half the diesel in it. Weird, I don’t do any of those things. I wonder if the EPA will fine me for spilling diesel fuel in a dream.

Anyway, woke for bathroom trip, can’t get back to sleep. Yesterday I was half way to work at this time.

Pearl Harbor day. Visited it once. Got a friend stationed there now.

Good morning! 70˚F the air is still. Partly cloudy heading to the mid 70s.

Shopping is on the agenda today, need to pick some up some gifts.

Monday we had the WFPB Christmas party. 28 people came. There were a lot of good appetizers. and deserts. We made mini lentil balls with date BBQ sauce and my famous kale chips that dehydrates kale into a yummy crunchy taco flavored snack.

Got the tractor work done in the garden, felt good to work a FEL on the tractor again. I stacked up all the piles of sand, gravel and manure and smashed down the compost dumpsters after picking up the weed containers in the herb garden.

We also visited the USS Arizona Memorial in Pear Harbor about 20 years ago. It was eerie to see bubbles still coming up from the sunken ship. When we got back to the rental car it had been broken into. Signs warning of theft in the parking-lot were numerous so nothing was left in the car.
