Good morning!!!!

Ron, Sassy looks very nice for Christmas. I'm sure she misses your wife too.
This is a day of many fond memories. I miss having someone to give to.
My late wife adored Christmas. Despite much reduction over past three years, I still have enough
ornaments for three trees.

I also miss Toppop and Roy. So on Christmas morning, a special prayer said to both, to join us one last time in spirit.

and now to focus forwards for much joy in future

Merry Christmas and good morning to all,
Not sure what I am doing up now at O-dark thirty. It is 24F with clear sky's, forecast high of 32 today. Winds have backed off greatly, presently blowing 5-12mph with gusts to 20.

Flickering power finally stopped about 9am yesterday, after starting their flickering nonsense at 6pm the night before. Didn't loose any electronics but the mini-splits in the shop were in error mode and not running. Reset them and they seem to be okay, will need to check on them first thing this morning.

With temps up into the 20's today it is time to shut down the propane heat and go back to the heat pump.

While out wandering the property yesterday I noticed a leaning pine tree in the woods. It was leaning right towards where my new shop is going to be, so taking that down will be a priority for today. Don't need it to come down on my shop and don't want to pay tree folks $3K to take it down after the shop is build. Need to get it down while the ground is frozen in case it lands on the shop pad. The pad is all ready for concrete and I don't need the pad messed up if the tree falls on it.

Be safe out there.

Happy Christmas Morning!

God has given us a Savior, who is the reason WHY we have another chance to get it right one again.

glad to hear power is coming back online - STAY WARM EVERYBODY, and make sure all our critters stay warm, watered and fed some extra calories.

14.5Fright now. Had to get up around 2AM and add some wood to the stove, and added some more just now - I am into some poplar logs. They burn great, they burn hot, they burn clean, and they burn QUICK. . .

Time to start prepping the ham to go in the oven before church.

I hope everyone has a Happy, Healthy, Safe, Dull, BORING Christmas!

Good Morning and a Merry Christmas to all!
It’s a balmy 10 degrees out this morning and will stay in the teens.
Still warmer than yesterday.

I already reported on yesterdays activities, except that I finished the day by watching “polar express” with my grandson.

This morning, I have to get up and going, all the kids are coming here for breakfast and presents, I’m in charge of cooking all the bacon and sausage, which I do outside on the flat top grill. It’s going to be fun in this temperature. Everyone goes to oldest son’s for dinner except for youngest son is going to his in-laws.
