good morning all, WARMER going to 55 today LOVELY. Ice is gone no more falls

I think I need to order some more battery minders to keep it all charged during winter. Currently have two of them hooked up and using a bigger one to rotate with. Any good suggestions?

Today is a good day to get outside and check over the property more closely after the cold spells

Costco has battery tenders in the store.

You are not unemployed, you are retired, which brings with it a whole new set of 'jobs'.
Congratulations on making it to Retirement!!

Walked the property. The upper field had perhaps 100 tree shelters down from the high winds. The lower fields were ok. see pics
Was actually too warmly dressed for the walk but nice change. The walnut and Oak trees looked fine

Good morning to all! Low of 27°, going up to around 40°, mostly cloudy. Another 1/2" dusting last night. Next real big chances of precip occur on Sunday and Monday.

Mostly, sorry to hear no fishes were volunteering to test the line.... at least you were out on the boat right?....

Drew, good luck at the dentist. Hope not too much trouble to get the fragment out. I second the thought of keeping the piece just in case it's needed for proof.

IXLR8, good job on the tree. Definitely nice when things work out.

BEF, CONGRATULATIONS! --- now the REAL work will begin.....

Kilroy, nice to hear that the shopping went well and you had a good lunch. Be careful up at the woodlot. Enjoy the outside while it's nice out!

I'm feeling much better this morning.... strange having such a short period of feeling blah.... I'm not complaining, just hoping it wasn't a predecessor to something worse.....

Pellet pickup is definitely on the agenda for today. Researching prices yesterday, TSC is the cheapest by $0.30 a bag. Cheaper than HD or Lowes, which is surprising.

Knee has been complaining, so not sure if anything else will get accomplished today.

Everyone have a great day!

I have had good luck with the CTEK line of battery maintainers. Most of their models won't charge a dead battery, but they are very good at safely maintaining a battery. I leave one on my sports car from Nov to April and it doesn't hurt the battery. The present day equivalent to the model I use is the MXS 5.0. They are not cheap, about $118 for that model, but they work very well. Mercedes, BMW and Ferrari rebrand them for use in their cars, for twice the money.

I actually have one of those CTEKs and never used it as a trickle charger but will start to hook that up since I have it

Quick check in from the cabin. Nice weather today, but rain is coming for the weekend. Beautiful scenery.

Those aftermarket piston/cyl kits are pretty decent and cheap enough. If the saw is unusable now, why not try it?

Where are you able to buy av gas now? I've tried a few airports and they scoffed at me and sent me away.

I just retired the O26 and gave it to the shop that I bought the MS261 from as a good source of parts for them. I kept the bar and chain.

I have a long involvement with aviation and the local airports, so it is no problem for me to get AvGas. One local airport has a self service pump and is fine with people filling cans. Ones that fuel from a truck generally don’t want to be bothered
