Morning all, 35 going to 45 and rain, got up to 61 yesterday.
Sons new gf came over yesterday and they cooked lunch and brownies.Seems like a nice girl.
Went to a "miracle bar" at the Logans Inn in town, a company that partners with bars around the world and decorates them for Christmas and has drink specials. Wife liked it, was nice to go out.
Power went out for a minute or two while we were there, interrupting watching the game for a while.

Sorry about the Mrs. BEF , hope the ice helps.

Another tree fell somewhere, ground too soggy to go look, so will wait til later.

Be well,

Good morning, the low temp is 20 and that is the 'high' for the day. Going down to 18°F for the rest of today. Wind NNW 11 mph. 30% chance of flurries. We got an inch overnight. Not going to plow that either.

Got the BB and bucket 'treated', used a combination of cheap cooking spray, Pam and Fluid Film. I won't be using FF again until the price comes down. $19.95/can Canadian plus 13% tax.

Thursday and Friday will both be warm (36), so I will attack the lights then.
I also have a bar light that will be going on the roof rack of the Dodge. The shop I take it to for maintenance will get to do that job.

mpham, I guess you cannot very well in all honesty call your wife the 'ole lady.

That is what I worry about if I retire fully. Money.

Have a safe day all

Bill, does your tractor sit outside or is it in a shed?
I used to use Boeshield on the farm but it's now 21 bucks a can too.
lots of stuff on market for half that.
to me the issue is does it have to withstand wind and rain, or just sitting there in the humidity?

In NC I would have to go out during January and spray the machinery stored under the lean to.
The waxy coating only seems to last about three or four months. But probably less if getting rained on.

Good Morning,
Looks like a few inches in Vermont looking on the camera this morning !

Looks like the Shenandoah Valley didn't get as much snow as the mountains.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Lot more snow up at wife’s Dr office. Parking lot is icy.
There’s X-ray place next door, probably her next stop.

little family out front got blown around but once straightened, they resumed their cheery
waving at folks going by

while checking on basement fuel oil tank figured I'd better get another filter.
The heater was eleven years old when I got here and had never been cleaned.
First thing I did. So I'm guessing no one has paid much attention to this filter.
looks like top of valve is missing

It is in a Shelter Logic portable shelter. The door is open all the time. Always backed in. I have hydro plumbed into that shelter, burried underground. Basically, like the Dodge, in winter I don't have to clean the snow off the roofs. But it is still in an unheated tent.

That’s half the battle.
