Apparently antibiotics don't have much effect on viruses.

never did, never will. Antibiotics are for bacterial critters, not virus-type critters.

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.9C and it's presently 16.9C, overcast and fairly calm (wind will pick up, though). There was 3mm in the gauge @ 0900... not expected but every little bit in the tank is welcome, especially with guests in the house.

Good run into town yesterday. Holiday traffic is beginning to pick up as the town/area's population typically triples at this time of the year due to many 'holiday homes'.

Yesterday arvo I was able to successfully extract the Hills Hoist main pole from the in-ground socket. AND without destroying anything! I put everything aside for later disposal at the tip as something told me that I may be able to salvage from it.

A good thing that I did that too. Computer research confirmed that, even though the hoist was 25+ years old, the in-ground socket was still compatible with today's models. This was confirmed by product reviews/testimonials... however I may have to re-use the 'locking cap' and pin from the old pole. So I'm glad that I didn't dispose of that.

My houseguests will be returning later on this evening... Penelope will not be pleased.

That's about it, take care all.

Caught dad using my rotary mower as a snow blade the other day, so my brother got the blade put on for him.

Good morning !
Time to wake up !

Have got like inch of snow. It's ~ 0...+1ºC Cant figure out what to do with that snow. Should I clean driveway or let weather take care of that

Today should move last junk from old office to new one. A lot of mental fight with colleagues and myself about items (tools, spare parts) 10 years not used

Later today should drive boys to their basketball club party

29° and dark out, highs in the low 30’s sunny winds NW 10-15 gusts 25+ mph.

Got most of the storm mess cleaned up and moved to the brush pile, neighbor came over and helped, goes so much faster with 2 people

The Mrs went to the DMV and renewed her license then picked up groceries. One more trip to the butcher and hopefully that’s it until after Christmas.

Bef hope you feel better soon

Prayers for those in need
Stay safe everyone

Morning. Been awake a few hrs now. Felt a little better at bedtime, but that was short lived.

Poured cup of hot coffee. 32° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 41° with cloudy skies. Trip to Menards for shop supplies got me away from the house for awhile. Got horn mounted and hood back on tractor. Neighbor wanted to move several yard of top soil to a area of his yard to level it out. Got that done before it got dark. Grocery shopping this morning. Then do some cleanup in barn and shop. Always how many tools it take to do a simple job like putting a horn on tractor.

Mostly, have you checked with lawyer or other that helped put trust together.

Buckeye, hope you feel better soon.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.
