Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Coffee is brewing. 24° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 40° with a few clouds. Made progress on tractor upgrades. Did get hood off. And step mounted. Need to drill one more hole. But rear tire is in the way. Will get at later when I switch tires between tractors. No plans for today yet.
Doves fluffed up to stay warm.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
much colder, 27 out now but should be a nice sunny day in upper 40's
lot of river towns in New England really got messed up by that last storm, videos of rivers
coming down main streets, and five people died.

nothing on the calendar for today, last day I can say that for a while, xmas social stuff coming up with something every day.
Good time to see family and friends, hopefully without picking up a bug.
I've been sniffling and sneezing more than normal, but pollen count on Wunderground says low, so not that.

need to remember to head downtown later and deliver a box of chocolates to my PT group. Always good to make them happy...
Happy Olga, happy life...

more of this coming

I called my local hospital to set up a CT scan, normal periodic stuff for cancer checking, and after five attempts where
each time they told me the wait was long than 20 minutes, and please call back later. Well I did and they never let me leave a phone number for a call back.
That's nuts. So I decided to try the next closest hospital chain, GrandView, which is up closer to Popgadget and Northern Bucks and Montg Co in Sellersville.
very nice experience despite being twice as far to drive. Everyone was like my favorite grandmother, kindly, nice and slow. My oncologist has offices near both hospitals so I figured there might be some benefit/value to having a totally different radiologist look at my scans. I do take the last scan with me.
best scan is nothing found, everything "cold". I have to drink some nasty stuff ahead of time at 5am, that sounds like fun.
But they did tell me I could eat and have coffee first. Ok...little early for me.

hope you all have a great day.

27° now highs in the low 40’s and sunny, winds NW 5-10 mph.

Put the loader back on yesterday, should be dry enough by this afternoon to pick up some of the mess from Monday’s storm. Really need to get brush piles burned this winter.

Prayers for those in need
Enjoy your day everyone

Now days I buy slightly used. Let somebody else take that depreciation hit.

Over the past year there has been a shortage of used cars. I test drove a 2017 Ford Transit with 40K+ miles on it (out of warranty) that the dealership wanted 5K over the original MSRP. The used Toyota Prius a few years old was more than a new one, but you couldn't find a new one on any dealer's lot. The situation is better now that some of the supply chain problems are getting worked out, but car prices are still at stratospheric levels. It also doesn't help that interest rates on car loans have doubled.

The CarEdge site lets you look up how many days a given vehicle has been on the dealer's lot. The van I purchased had been sitting for three months, probably because it had so many options on it. Most I wanted, one or two I'd have really liked to have but they weren't on it. I got enough of a discount below MSRP so at least I wasn't paying for the couple of options I really didn't want that were on there anyway. I paid cash; the dealer wanted a couple of points over what I could get at a local credit union.

I was also willing to travel, even out of state, for the right deal. That greatly expanded the number of vehicles I could consider. And again, the CarEdge website's search tools made finding the needle in a haystack pretty easy.

Hello, good day !
Launch time already

Clouds have cleared out, so it is little lighter but as clouds are no more covering - little colder too. But that trade is fine for me
Hate that dark

Good Morning!!!! 58F @ 3:00AM. Showers in the morning, then cloudy in the afternoon. High 63F. Winds ENE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%.
Picked up another 3/4" of rain yesterday, most of it from a couple of pretty intense systems with thunder and lightning late in the day. Gonna be a wet ride headed south.

Up way too early thinking about things I missed on the packing list. Now that I've added them, I hope I can get another couple hours of sleep.

Happy Hump Day, folks!

22° at 6 am
Decided to move to lazy boy. Still feeling aweful. Body aches. Had bad headache yesterday. Progressing into sneezing phase. Eating salty chips to help throat. Nothing planned today.
Nice sitting in dark except the light of stove burning.
