Good morning!!!!

Good morning all. It’s about 10° or so here it will go up a little bit today. Four more inches of snow coming tomorrow, and then bam! Several days above zero, and rain. That will make the driveway extremely slippery, and so I had better park at the top Wednesday night.

Meanwhile the wife and I are not feeling so hot, so we put off turkey time until today. (I am always amazed at how many people do not eat turkey on Christmas. I could not live without it!)

Did anyone at all have turkey yesterday?

The kid shoveled more snow yesterday, all the way down to the dock, which is quite a ways. Got her boyfriend to help of course.

Meanwhile, I went over to the rental property and there was over 2 feet of snow so I just did a single pass so I could pick up a snow shovel. Will go over and do the rest today.

Cranberry pancakes for breakfast – Yum!

Happy Boxing Day everyone!


6 PM: Breaking news - just tested positive for Covid!:(

I love turkey, but I had one in October and didn't want another one at Christmas. Ham was a good choice. Cranberry sauce with ham is good. Better than apple sauce as far as I am concerned. We got a really nice rump roast of beef for New Years day.

Take it easy check, that schitt will kill you IF you let it.

Maybe you or one of the kids could stop by the Township yard and pick up some sand, usually they will let you have it for free as long as you don't show up with a dump truck. A couple of 5 gallon pails full or if you have a wood stove, ashes work better and you don't have to beg it off the township.

Good evening all. 29ºF for the start, overcast sky, light breeze. Light wind with moderate gusts, overcast cleared off, and high temp was 55ºF. Front came through with some light rain but none fell here. Woke up late the morning, did not get fire rekindled. Bike ride with 2 of the normal group. 35 miles in morning, after lunch nap. Rest of day was energy conservation.

Good morning, way too early.
26°

Drinking first cup of coffee. 11° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 23° with cloudy skies. Got some sun yesterday. But it did not last long. Did get 2 of the 3 switches installed on Bandsaw and Belt Sander. Waiting for parts to do Lathe. Should be a little safer to use the machines in my shop. I think today will be a conserve energy day.
The Lookout.

Buckeye, best time to be up. Even Sassy is still asleep at this hour.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
gosh I think the temps will get above freezing today, what a nice change...
25 going up to 37 today

Ron, what kind of switches did you put on? The big red emergency ones?

had a nice lunch with old friends at Perkins. Waited a long time for a table.
My friend has neurological problems such that his leg gives out, must use a cane, very unsteady on feet.
And while eating, he started to choke on some food, and said he had problems with that.
He is seeing another specialist, sounds like something affecting his overall body and not just leg.

Made plans to see these folks end of Jan, will take Amtrak back down to Delray Beach. 3 thousand bucks for round trip sleeper. Wow.
Sure wish I didn't hate flying. Just too old to make that long drive any more.
Is it me or do prices seem to have an extra zero snuck in there?.....................
