33F and sunny @ 14:15, headed up to around 38F for the high. Overnight low this morning was 16.7F.

A tad chilly.

Ten Day looking fairly decent though with a high of 54F called for on this coming Tuesday, followed by a high of 59F on Thursday. Highs mostly in the 40's otherwise.

Had a nice birthday dinner at Bonefish Grill last night, there were 13 of us all told. Place was busy and packed, food was good.

After dinner, went over and had cake and presents were opened.

Then we watched the first Harry Potter movie which we had never seen.

Agenda for today is run down and grab some diesel for the torpedo heater. Refill that and test it out to make sure it's working properly.

Then refill the deer and tube feeders, possibly also hopper feeder if it's low.

Beyond that unsure, but I suspect I'll find some project to get back into.

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday ... (y)

Good evening
It was 26 when I woke up, made it up to 40, and now it’s back to 32 on its way down.

Busy day today, actually managed to get finger printed today, moved hay from the hay shed to the barn, sorted out a wiring issue on neighbors Polaris Ranger, and of course spent some quality time with Zoe. She is getting much better about shredding my hands with those razor sharp puppy teeth.
This was last week-

Tomorrow, I would like to do a little job on the Bridgeport making a part that I lost on my sight moving fixture. Speaking of lathes, mine is a Jet GHB 1340a geared head 13 x 40. I’ll take a picture tomorrow when I’m in the shop.

Still sorting out the switch from set top boxes to streaming for TV, and the various network changes brought on by the new hardware, but I’m slowly winning.

Ran down to corner and picked up 10 gallons of diesel for the torpedo heater.

While the little battery-operated pump was transferring that from the cans to the heater I took out about a gallon of whole corn and put it in the deer feeder.

Grabbed the two tube feeders on the way back in and refilled those with a 50/50 mix of sunflower hearts and safflower and took them back out and hung them.

Hopper feeder still pretty full.

Fed all the cats.

Put the shroud and intake grill back on the torpedo heater after that and fired it off … running good again …

Went back to chipping up more shagbark hickory after that, have most of what I was working on done but still plenty more to do at some point.

Woman cooked some more spaghetti snoodle so we could kill off the leftover sauce, also some garlic bread. Finished watching the Giants Vikings game while eating.

She also set out some shrimp to thaw and I’ll go down and feed the fish once they’re thawed.

Assuming I can get the cat off my lap.

Good early (Monday) arvo. Overnight Low of 10C and it's presently 19.5C, overcast with a breeze.

Yesterday after Church was the hay-rounds moving 'task'. The first location was a small shed that took a LOT of manoeuvring in a cramped area with an uneven surface, but I managed to get all 10 rounds in there. Returned home to stack another 10 rounds (for the Mad Agisting Horse Woman) into my shed... finished up by 1600. Received 2 very good bottles of wine for the first 'job'.

Discovered that my tractor lights (flashers/headlight/worklight) aren't working. Everything else electrical is, so it'll probably be the fuse. Glad that this was discovered during the daytime. [Update: It turned out that the common 30amp fuse needed to be re-seated = all lights are working now. However I discovered that the fuse size are NOT 'automotive' but a mini version which means I'll need to get a collection of spares in that size. Good to know!]

That's about it, take care all.

LS, snow looks nice.

Good worship, I was song leader. Good lunch at our regular Italian place, but we talked about doing Mexican next week for a change of pace.
Paid some bills and updated quicken.

Back to church early to prepare for a meeting. Mostly new budget stuff.
Good evening worship.

I’m inventorying our computers and software. Going to update at least 1 computer and some of the PowerPoint software.

Kitty now relaxing on me, the other laying on the pellet stove beside me.
