Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Good Morning.
27° and clear. High of 45 today.

Yesterday was a travel day, here’s my view from 45,000 feet
Our routing took us over a lot of states in a short distance, can you name them all?

Today will start with breakfast with the professor, then some shop time, probably go reset the airbag light on my friends Highlander after he replaced some parts. I should check to see if it’s dry enough to pull the Progessive mower around to work on the rotten deck.
Got a call to play music with group I sat in with last week, so that will be my evening.
Not much else to report, be interesting to see how the day actually plays out.

Popgadget, I really enjoy your aviation photos. What might seem normal to you, is really cool to me!

I was also a big John Prine fan, as well as Steve Goodman. Saw them together many times in venues so small my feet were on the stage.
A Poco fan as well, but never saw them Iive. Interesting that two ex-Poco bassists were in the Eagles. (Meisner and Schmidt), in the same order that they were part of Poco.

Saw POCO open for the Little river band.
Trying to remember if Dan Fogelburg was in the mix...

GA, SC, NC, TN, VA, KY, WV, OH

Add FL to start of list???

Last week, doc warned about side effects from having anesthesia during surgery. He was right- 95% of the time all is good. 5% of the time it feels like someone stuck a knife in my shoulder. Fortunately that sensation only lasts for 20 mins or so, but hoooooo weeeeee ..... while it happens! It should lessen and go away with time-- the sooner the better.

Prayers for all facing medical challenges .... mine are minor compared to some.

Prayers for continued healing. Glad storm didn't topple too much.

L4N. glad tree top missed!

Made a Costco run for my wife...got there as they opened...definitely a Super Bowl shopping spree going on, but a friendly crowd, and the self-checkout line moved with amazing speed. She was with her mom. Then split some more firewood, filled up a pallet, swapped it for an empty one, and brought dried firewood up onto the porch. I'm not letting these days in the 60s fool me into an early spring. I feel more snow coming.

Son/Dil/and granddaughter came in last night from NC, and son and DIL from NY got here about 4am...They like to leave well after rush hour. Other son and DIL coming over at lunch time as well as BIL and family...finally having family Christmas after 2 false starts due to illnesses. We had to replace some of the stocking items because they passed their expiration date.

Had a nice family gathering yesterday. Should do more often.

Was hoping it would be a good gathering. Glad y'all got to visit.

Needing to build a pole for a basketball backboard for our church parking lot. Buddy bought a metal square tube 4" x 4" x 20' w/1/8" wall thickness. He's already cut it at 12', leaving an 8' length. He's drilled some holes in the 12' length to mount the backboard. I told him it would be great if we could offset it back, that I could sawcut angles and weld it together.

something like this in mind:

Ron, love the pics. Glad your feeling better, but I can only guess you're used to going on 27F walks.

Temps are falling here, down to 42F here at 9:45pm.

On Saturday we had a 12-15 minute flash flood. .57" in 12-15 minutes here at my house. Things flooded like when Harvey hit us, but as it stopped, it drained off within about 15 minutes. We live on a slight slope on high ground.

Pond was already brim full, so it all went downstream.

Rich, beautiful. I see why you paid to have it painted. Fantastic job overall. Wondering what the redline is with that long stroke?

LS, very tough news on the BIL. Prayers for the family.


Hope everyone has a blessed day. Prayers for healing.

Hope your planning on some lap time for Snaggypuss BEF.

Snagglepuss did come around today, so fed her. She really just wanted in. Pebbles has been on me some, and tiger has layed on the lazyboy footrest where he likes to lay between my feet. Pebbles is laying on my backpack right now, I think she wants me to go to bed.

spent the afternoon going thru my pictures. over 800 of them. found out the app to move them from the phone skipped some. don't know why, I clicked to transfer all of feb. I transfered again to another directory, and it got all of them this time. I went thru 10 at a time to make sure.
Haven't gotten to my mail yet, looks like tomorrows project.

West coast north of LA. Someone on here lives up that way somewhere..

They do make a nice burger in Hawaii.

Mostly, pic was NE Oahu near makapu lighthouse. This one is the blow hole south of it. an idiot was standing beside it at the time it blew, lucky he didn’t get sucked in.
Saw whales from here also.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Neat point in La’ie

Entered all my costs in quicken today, no more vacations for a few years.

 

[mpham]

Morning all!
Up to early with a sinus issue!
Weather guesser's now say the storm will miss us and only be 1 to 3 if that. Yah!
Looks like Boston area will get it instead. Also Connecticut! Look out scott-vt! Now I know why you moved the lathe and put the truck away.
Nothing planned for today. Depending on how I feel might play in the shop.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Coffee is done brewing. 25° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 36° with cloudy skies. Got all limbs run threw chipper yesterday. Had a good walk with Sassy. Today she goes to the groomer. While she is there will stop at TSC and see what I do not need.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

My RV friend in still having Cabin Fever up in Maine. He says spring will arrive around June 1.

 

[daugen]

good morning all
surprised to wake up and find rain, not snow
32 degrees, .28 rain so far, they still predict 5 to 7 inches of snow but gradually warming today so
doubt that will happen. Fine with me. Snow is all around me, over in NJ, likely to start soon.

definitely an indoor day, though hope it might clear up this afternoon. my latest 30 pound tank is due in from Amazon, will run
that to TSC this afternoon for a fill up. I wish there was another place closer

Dennis, wonderful pics of a beautiful state/island. Wondering how you got that burger to fit in your mouth...

hope you all have a nice day

good morning,

36 going to 44 today and raining. Was supposed to be snow. Pond overflowing on the driveway as predicted. Being brim full and overflow pipe at the full level does not allow it to carry much flow. Plan to send neighbor another notice today and document the overflow.

Ran across this neat barn looking building on one of our drives. It does not look occupied but it is finished with AC, solar panels and looks like copper gutters etc. Maybe it functions as a guest house or is it a BB?

41 going to 51, rain near the end, then sun and up to 30 mph wind.

Spent the morning meeting with the director and 2 other admins at the nursing home where my MIL is...had an issue where I needed to call them on the carpet and get a clearer understanding. Developed much more confidence based on the way they handled it.

 

[m7040]

Looking in to selling the Ford f350 platinum trim pick up truck. The Kelly Blue Book has a service to list for owners and handle payments etc from private buyers. There may be others like it?
A trade at the dealer will likely be a low ball offer. See listings around 50 K for similar

 

[Buppies]

Nice looking truck good luck with sale m7040

 

[daugen]

headed out to brush a little snow off greenhouse, so far looks like it's not sticking much but this is wet snow
and it's coming down quite nicely. Pretty actually. Brushing the car off is a chore I could do without.
