Good morning!!!!

Has anyone tried a 9V lithium battery in a smoke detector? If so do they really last 5 years without that 2A.M. chirping?

I had to chuckle
every time I go back to Washington NC my neighbors greet me with
Hey instead of Hi.
We were always taught hay was for horses. Any of you told that?
I think it's a Southern thing to say hey versus hi.

quiet evening in

Hey PJ , good to see you drop in again.

It’s not just a southern thing, maybe more a country thing.

My newest smoke detector has built in battery, supposed to last 10 yrs. When it dies you replace smoke detector.
Today was a 2 cat day.

Journey fired right up. Battery only 2 years old.

As per MTO/DoT rules I had to 'pre-trip' the tractor to make sure the wheels didn't fall off it in the driveway, then bob-tail to where the trailers were at, pin them and yet another pre-trip on them. The company pays me 45 minutes for this. $26.07 is pretty easy money.
The drive itself was real easy all the way, charged the company 5 hours. Ran at about 5 kms over the limit all the way down, but don't forget that I am hamstrung at 104 k/h.

Averaged 27 m/U.S.gal. on the way home. After I got on the 4 lane divided highway (Hwy 11 check), I ran a steady 70 mph (112 kph) until I got into the 70 mph zone then all h3ll broke loose and bumped it up to 77 mph. I was getting passed less frequently than when I was doing the slower speed. My theory is that I still have a license to protect...3 points off my license and I MUST do a medical AND written test AND a road test in the vehicle size and dimensions I normally drive. I don't think there are too many Super 'B' train qualified examiners out there.

I left the house at 02:45 and arrived in Markham at 07:45, all backed into its' parking spot (straight) for the next couple of days.
It rained most of the way down there and snowed on the way back, still snowing here. Those speeds on Continental summer tires. Another week or so and I will have the snows on.

Eeep! We got some snow here today as well. Miserable, rainy weather all day today, and we had to close down the Rental cottage. No fun!

I was always told hay was cheaper than straw

Been using that for years my family native Virginians since 1600s so I supposed born and bred Virginian am I

Great sense of humor PJ

Hey is for horses, straw is cheaper and grass is free. Up here straw is/was cheaper than hay. Not totally sure about the price differential. Been out of the business for a lota, lota years.

Still snowing. Forecast is for about an inch tonight and another inch tomorrow. It wont stay though, grounds' not frozen.32°F low overnight. Up into the 40s and 50s for the rest of the week.

The lights went out at 4:10/1610hrs and came back on at 2110. I had a chicken stuffed with a sweet potato in the oven roasting and only 50 minutes into the job. That was supposed to be my thanksgiving meal as Junior has been invited to the neighbours. She doesn't know that I am home for the winter.
