Good Morning Guys,
Vt, 41 to start going to maybe 45 !

42° now and raining (all day), only going up a couple more degrees today with wind NE 10-15 mph.

NHBX, so not terribly different here today ! Usually by this time of year this place is frozen solid, multiple inches of snow and the DW is like a luge run ! The clan will be here sometime this afternoon, so time to get prepared for the onslaught !
Was hoping for some white stuff so the kids could go sliding out in the field, but not looking good for this trip !

Hope to spend a little time in the workshop over the next few days. I would like to get the blanks milled up for the front legs of the rockers that I want to build for my grand daughters !

Hope all have a blessed and safe day !

Good morning.
49° and not going to change much throw out the day. 50% chance of rain, in addition to the almost 3” we got yesterday and through the night.

Yesterday’s trip to Florida was challenging. Ground stops due to volume closed Naples, so we went to FT Myers. However we were not the only ones. We had to park remotely, and wait our turn to taxi to the ramp. We were in line for departure for about 90 minutes leaving.

Got home too late to get anything done but get in bed, the ride home from the airport was miserable in heavy rain.

Today starts with breakfast with the professor, then I’ve got to ship what sold from my eBay auctions of used avionics.
After that, the day is mine to wander through. Looking forward to pork belly sandwich for lunch…..

Prayers for all silent or spoken our Country

keep those deer on your side of Bowman's Hill please Ken...

interesting drive home from supermarket.
Came up Aquetong Road north of 202 into a very windey section in the woods with almost no sight distance.
But the problem this morning was a young man driving too fast for his tires in the rain on a sharp curve I'm sure he took
too fast. I drive those curves almost every day. He slid across the road and hit a one ton service truck head on coming the other way.
The smoke was still in the air a little when I got there, late model Tacoma halfway up on top of guardrail, other truck inop, road totally blocked.
I grabbed my med kit and went up to check on them but they were ok.

when I bought tires for my Volvo the highest criteria I used was wet road grip.
I was really curious to go look at how much tread he had on his truck tires
but figured he was unhappy enough already and three folks were all on the phone
calling it in.

I had bags of frozen food so could not stay to play fire police.
plenty of experience doing that many years ago.

From the posts I just read it looks like everyone had a generally pleasant, safe and Merry Christmas! I hope everyone did.

We are still cleaning up and trying to get back to normal. A damp and chilly 40f here in this corner of East Texas.

Lot's of routine duties for today. Nothing noteworthy.

Hope everyone has a great day and is ready for New Years eve!

66°F and no rain, maybe later.

Need to wire up my pump, check my plumbing for leaks, then hopefully let her rip.

Grass is taking advantage of all this rain, now sun. Needs attention

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

New pump is working - no leaks.

This is an upgrade kind repair. The original pump was 1 1/2hp single speed. New one is 3hp variable, able to set 4 speeds and program various times. Still need to program, just running it at 3k rpm to get a good flush.
