Good Morning Guys,
Ct, 44 to start going down hill from there I believe! Will be back in the 30’s by early evening !

Looked down in the basement this morning, and sure enough have some puddles to vacuum up !
We got a lot of rain and along with the melting snow and slush I pretty much expected puddles ! That will be this morning’s project!

Hope all that are sick continue to feel better !

Hope all have a blessed day !

Buppies...you and Mrs. keep those feet up both deserve it.
Glad pond finally full.

Then while I am out will do some errands and grocery shopping.

But it'd not Thursday.

But it'd not Thursday.

Yup. But if I do it today I will only get car dirty one time this week.

Well morning to all,
Quite a bit of wind and rain last night. Not even a flicker of my power. Quite a few limbs off the trees in the yard and one big pine blown over. I have to get around outside to check out the driveway and see what's down on it.
A lot of small power outages around per National Grid 1,035 outages effecting 71,200 customers. Most of the ones I see in my are are small outages half a dozen people for each.
Well time to get my butt in gear and see how things are.
Stay safe and get well

Reminds me of fuel prices—

I want Academic Probation gas, not Advanced Placement gas!

Thanks Thomas

Morning all, 47 going to 50 and cloudy.
Had a lot of flooded roads and downed power lines around here, but we kept power.

Had to remove a small ash tree and many branches/vines from the driveway after the dog walk this morning. Area is saturated. about 2.5" of rain. The wind was crazy last night, sounded like a train coming through.

Got another panel and some furring strips up, last of the "easy" ones.

Police here are good at broadcasting road closures, lots of trees and wires down. PECO and town crew have already got most cleaned up.

Be well,

One of the many fun areas, also have large I beams, oulets, pipes etc. to SR around.
Only 12 panels to go...

Good Morning!!!! 42F @ 5:15AM. Cloudy with occasional showers. High around 55F. Winds SSE at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 60%.
Picked up a couple tenths of an inch of rain yesterday, pretty much drizzled all day. The canyon was full of clouds, and once in a while the house was actually above some of them. Other times if seemed like fog. Wet and cold all the time, though, and I got pretty wet going up to get the mail in the buggy.

Stayed in the house most of the day, but I did bring in another cart full of wood for the stove, and got a start recovering the pads on the hydraulic dollies I use for moving heavy equipment. They are painted red now, and leave red marks where they rub on the machines. Tried some kind of foam first, but Barge cement wouldn't stick to it. Found a roll of a kind of rubber for lining tool box drawers, and that seems to work OK. But the cement didn't like the cool temps in the garage, either, so I'll have to try again today and use the heat gun to warm things up enough to stick.

Grocery run today, not much else planned.

Happy Hump Day, folks...

Good morning
46° and sunny. That’s todays high, temps are falling quickly.
Today, I got out of bed, took a shower and made the bed. I still can’t taste anything, but my fever seems to have broken.
I’m going to try to keep moving as long as I can, hopefully I’ll feel better as the day progresses.

Stupid drivers test was riddled with law questions... WTF is the matter with people.

FAA pilot exam asked: "GPS orbiting satellites provide navigation signals to your aircraft. How high is their orbit?" (Answer was something like 10,000 *miles* above Earth.)

42F here in the Formerly-Great-State of California. This old farmhouse is not insulated so inside temp was 1 degree warmer at first. Built a fire and am off for a blood test. Nothing serious, just the regular installment so the doctor can beech. His mantra is: "if it tastes good, it's bad for you."

successful morning playing with plants
Two babies relocated and potted
A friend of mine who is a potter and lives within a mile of Ken
is going to choose a pot she made, of some critter, which will hold the parent plant.
Two more kids in there to relocate at some point.

needed an operating light, didn't want to hurt the mom, and needed two hands so
the little Makita flashlight with bendable head came in handy

amaryllis popping up

nice little succulent planters from Amazon, chuckled they called the one an alpaca/llama
as if there was no difference
actually not much, they are related but I had to look it up:

Llamas range from 200 to 350 lbs., and stand about 42 to 46 inches while alpacas weigh in at 100 to 175 lbs., and stand 34 to 36 inches. Personality – Alpacas are very gentle and shy, while llamas are very confident and brave animals. Alpacas are more comfortable as herd animals, while llamas are solitary animals.
llamas are going to be a lot bigger than their cousins. Their faces are also dissimilar: alpacas have small, blunt faces with short ears, while llamas have more-elongated faces with banana-sized ears. Another key difference is their hair. Alpacas have shaggy hair that is used for fleece production

are you getting hungry for lunch?
McDonalds has your number
they are bringing back the double Big Mac

if you get anything that looks even remotely like this,
well you won't.

likely one of the more unhealthy things in the world to eat

Good morning! Low of 20°, high supposed to hit 34°, sunny. Winds 15-20, gusts to 35.

The system bringing us snow tomorrow is also a 'windy' one. Already high wind warnings posted for the southern portion of the state. Could gust as high as 80 mph. We are only supposed to get 20-30 mph winds.

Kilroy, neat "F tree 50" ..... wonder how long it took to grow up that high? Have fun at 'work'.....

Paul, hope you get over that crud soon. Hope the fever stays away.

Successful local grocery run yesterday, Costco trip today. Hope not too many people since I'll get there when it opens.

Everyone have a great day!

67°F and .2 inches rain

Appears we dodged the major storm yesterday but made for a strange but wet day. Rain, stop, rain, stop. Flooding reported other areas but not us.

Taking Makani to vet this afternoon. Hope to determine cause of intermittent limp. Sometimes holds paw up, walk with a pronounced limp and then run full speed. No reaction to my touching or manipulating. Maybe he’ll get X-ray.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

When I was trying to reduce my carb and sugar intake my diet basically said if it tastes good throw the food away and eat the box. lol

The first one that Don linked is worth the $40. Mine is still working 15 years later.

Afternoon to everyone, currently 49°

Will leave here around 3 to go to son's house to help him put a tarp on roof around chimnney..A little too much wind and rain last night.. Don't know how long he will have to wait for roofers to come and fix with all the damages in this area..

It is sunny and getting drier today, that's a plus..

Hope everyone has a great day..
