23 and the snow's gone but the heavy frost took its place. Shooting for 50 today.

Time to take the stove ashes out and stoke the fire, feed the birds and make another coffee.

Good morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

19.0F going to maybe 50, sunny day.

Stuffed the woodstove, downstairs HVAC came on at 6:15, made for a perfect alarm clock. Good 5” bed of coals, opened the air , added two logs, everything toasty again

Poor Bailey has @n@l glands that fill up quite rapidly,and she started scooting again. We were able to get a vet appointment same day, so did a little bit of odds-n-ends errands while out. But it was generally an energy conservation day. Finished with a good sauna session.

Today mom needs to take some items to the local seamstress for alterations — she normally does it herself but denim is a little stiff for her to hand sew, so we will also probably do lunch out and hit some thrifts and see what treasures can be procured… and the final food pantry donation of eggs for the year will be dropped off— 15 dozen today, 72 dozen YTD. Our birds are quite productive!!!

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

Morning all, 25 going up to 45.
Feels warmer today even though 10 degrees colder, the wet wind yesterday reminded me of chicago.

Got tickets to see Judge Reinhold and a screening of fastimes at ridgemont high at the Keswick next year.

back to the day job.

Good Morning
27° and clear.

Yesterday, I got things rearranged in the shop for winter with the tractor at the door, didn’t put the snow plow on it yet, but that’s just a SSQA mount, so it’s a couple of minutes at most, even with connecting the hydraulic lines for the angle cylinder.
Took all the drain oil to my friends shop in 5 gallon pails. When he came out to help unload them, he noticed that the inspection sticker on the KubVan was expired. Fortunately his shop is an inspection station, and we pulled it right in an d got it inspected. Didn’t need anything. But that’s not surprising as it only drove 500 miles last year, and is parked in a climate controlled garage.
Did a few more chores when I got home, but then had to head out to the airport. Was windy, but pretty smooth ride overall. Had a nice dinner with copilot and my friend that picked us up at the airport, was back home and in bed by 11:30. Wife was asleep,Zoe was excited to see me….

Today starts with breakfast with the professor, it’s a wild card after that, with lots of possibilities. Not likely any of them will involve a couch.

Got back from Houston yesterday early enough to hit the leaves/pine needles with the backpack blower.

Trip was good and results exceeded expectations.

Yesterday was the last day for candidates to file for the March 2024 Primary elections.

The Houston Mayor/Council election produced a more conservative Council. They don’t run on Party ticket but the undertone is there.

As if I don’t have enough projects on my plate, I would like to expand the capabilities of our Case tractor, which only has a single hydro control for the three-point.

I put a thread over here:

Future project: adding additional hydraulic circuits to a vintage Case 430

Good Morning! our 1962 Case 430 has a single original control for the three-point. I would like to (at some point between all the OTHER projects) like to add in additional controls so I can operate a hydro top-link and maybe even add a front loader. Can anyone provide...

if anyone wants to throw a pair of pennies in…

Ain’t nowhere cheap no more…

I about added that also. But I expect waitress service to be higher than counter service. 5 guys does have a good burger and fries, I’ll go a couple times a year.
We went to a new “firebird” restaurant recently they had a very good, but expensive burger. That might be a once a year place.

That reminds me, I have the front snow blade for the BX, and tire chains. Maybe I should put them on. Blade is buried in the barn. But the L3940 has a heated cab.
Friend of mine left Sunday for a meeting in Houston. Only time I was there was back around 1981 when I went to help my oldest sister move from there back to Ohio. Dad and I took turns driving a small uhaul truck back. The truck still had the behind the seat gas tank, which was small, and we found out how small the first time we ran out of gas along an interstate. Then it seemed we filled up about every other exit.
I put rear remotes on the L5030. About $1200 at the time, not too hard as I got the factory ones that are made to bolt right on.

Good Morning all ~ 32 going to 75º today. We love our winter weather. Bundle up in the morning and shed layers between 9 and noon, then start putting them back on after 3 pm... if you can find where you left em, hung on a hook in the barn or tossed on the car roof in the garage. Maybe on the chair in the kitchen or office? Not a bad problem to have. No big plans today. Will finish a little work at home and go visit a friend whose wife is ill. Need to sweep the floor in the hobby shop where I've been making wire harnesses this year. Need to get back to the model airplane hobby this year. I love a good biplane or warbird
