Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Good morning. Woke up early.

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee is brewing. 23° with a few clouds this morning. Heading to 49° with mostly cloudy skies. Another lost conserve energy day yesterday. Did some piddling on tractor trailer hitch. Then did a repair to horse stall in animal barn. Stall is used for storage yard ornaments now adays. Had to remove everything from stall to make repairs. After lunch helped neighbor move a pile of dirt to fill in a low area. Got some seat time. It was a chilly day. But nice enough if I kept moving. Going to be a conserve energy day. With some NASCAR in afternoon.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

Good morning. Woke up early.

Get more sleep.

Good morning, the low temperature is 19 and going to a high of 32°F. Wind S 14 mph. Flurries, about an inch of them.

Not much on my plate for today, so I will conserve energy.

Have a safe day all

25 outside right now, heading to upper 40's today.

Did not get to firewood yesterday, maybe today. No one home yesterday and I don't venture into the woods with a chainsaw unless someone is close by. Ended up just moving stuff around from the Milk House construction and doing some more mortar mixtures here and there. Will go do some water proofing in a minute after the coffee kicks in.

It actually snowed here yesterday for a few minutes. Tomorrow it looks like it may get to 60. I noticed a lot of bushes and trees are starting to bud. So ready for warm and green.

Hope all have a good day, be safe.

good morning all
wunderground says 20 but my thermometers say 13 here, coldest night of winter.
and naturally....the night the propane heater refused to cooperate so my living room is now covered in plants.
I need to fix the heater, somehow, and get heat back up before the plants go back out.
I admit that was pretty aggravating having to carry all that stuff back inside.

Rip, I'm ready for warm and green too!

going slow this morning, no rush to go out and get very cold. At least it will be sunny today

 

[m7040]

good morning, 24 going to 45. warmer weather on the way and rain as well

Went to town yesterday and filled a 20 gallon propane bottle. Checked out the Stihl chain saws at the center. Next time I need something bigger will get the Stihl 261. It comes with manual carb or auto adjust, same price

Despite cold weather flowers are starting to come out

 

[KilroyJC]

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly)

19.6F going to about60, sunnny day forecasted.

Work yesterday was uneventful, which was nice. Nothing exceptional to report, after church, I finally have final piece of paper to feed Uncle…

the leak has reappeared on out hot tub, I guess I will have to break down and spend some $$$ on a new connector pipe assembly. Yay

maybe later will will include a trip up to the woodlot with the dogs, we will see how the day shakes out.

now to catch up on GM posts before church - I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

 

[KilroyJC]

Good morning, the low is 30 and going down to a high of 19°F. Wind NNW 23 gusting to 30 mph. 30% chance of snow flurries.

Wow, I sure slept in this morning. Went to bed at midnight, up at 4 for a P, back to bed and up at 8. It is a wonder that the cats weren't lined up at my doorway stomping a foot on the floor...they usually get their dry food at 5 A.M. They get dry food from the morning through the day and then wet food about 10 P.M.

I am going to get after my employer this morning about my T-4 (1099 to you Americans), that is the last thing I need to chuck all the paperwork in a box for the accountant. After the T-4 I need to make motel reservations for Wed., Thurs., and Friday April 10 through 13th.
Spring startup meetings are a P.I.T.A. but they have to be done.

I talked to the foreman that I have been hauling to for the past 20 years or so and he told me that we've got a haul from Thunder Bay to 100 miles north of Pickle Lake, about 450 miles north of P.L., will take about 10 hours one way and no truck stops after Ignace, ON. There is a job up there that is 25 miles long. I told him that I would be willing to help out on that haul, BUT I would not be spending my whole summer up there. It is time for some of the junior guys to step up to the plate. It IS a good go, you can easily make $40 TO 50 grand in 4 months plus your per diem ($70.oo per night room and board) which is tax free.

Ron, your tree rat is looking real healthy.

My Sennheiser HD569 headphones work real good for me. Not only do I listen to movies and youtube on them but I also use them when I am on the phone.

Have a safe day all

Once you get used to listening to your favorite music in good headphones for a while, something fun to do is put them on backwards. your brain gets accustomed to certain sounds in each ear, but after years of listening the “correct”way, I was listening on cheap headphones in work and put them on backwards and it was really wild to pick up on things that have slipped below notice so to “familiarity”.

 

[KilroyJC]

62°F and .51 inches rain

A couple of distractions and scag not quite together.

Planned chicken curry morphed into pork curry, but delicious anyway.

Guys took a pleasant beating from the gals in H&F.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good Morning
18° with a forecast high of 40 under a clear sky today.

Yesterday followed the plan pretty closely. Made some progress on the speakers, except for the internal bracing they are all glued up. Helo, they are made out of Baltic Birch plywood.

Had a nice flight and lunch with son, we got the parts moved to the hangar as well. It was breezy, made for fun takeoff and landings. I flew out and he flew back. Here was my view while he was flying-

Did some work in the shop when I got back, noticed the the tool cart in the wood shop needs a little tidying up, I’ll put that on the list for today.

For now I’ve got to get up and moving, supposed to meet youngest son and daughter for breakfast in Doylestown.

 

[KilroyJC]

Make coffee to start morning, putter rest of morning, did not work on gopher Bike ride in afternoon, wind penalty was back up to Tuesday levels. Did get nap in work with old laptop to connect back n work, and had nice dinner and visit at stepdaughter's.

Oil change ran long, 37-point inspection showed cabin air filter was nasty (3 yrs old) and the PA belt was cracking, so we had to wait for parts to show up, but it was all good in the end. Gotta take care of the daily driver!

I’ve got the MS261-CM. It replaced my good old O26 that one of my kids ran on straight gas. But I actually like the 261 much better, I would recommend the electronic version, it works flawlessly for me, running on AvGas mixed with Stihl oil.

 

[KilroyJC]

Had to chuckle a bit at the names of your roads down there.
Seeing as how I life in the Town of Easton here in NY, and we have a Stump Church road.
It has the Stump Church on the road.

We have Lois Lane, Four Wheel Drive, as well as Nut House Road.

 

[daugen]

2200 rpm, nice slow engine speed for your cruise Popgadget.
I am in awe of anyone with enough multitasking ability to figure out all the functionality on that dash.
the nav screen seems much more complicated than those on boats or cars.

 

[KilroyJC]

so i go out with my new phone and take pics,
come back and find out the cable no longer works, it's a usb c to a I now need, not the prior
Lightning cable.
geez, so I ordered the right cable on Amazon.
and a phone case for one third the cost of the cheapest case in the phone store.

is there a way to transfer pics from your phone to your pc without a cable?
oh dear, I have to ask...
is there an app for that?

Email them?

Good Morning Guys,
Vt, 7 to start going to 36 ! Sun is up and the sky is blue !

Some shop time today to clean my mess out there, maybe a bit more work on contouring the seat pan. Had a tree come down on the north side of the property, I may try cutting some of that down to see if it’s any good for fire wood!

Dennis, it sounds like still lingering effects of sickness still with you, hope you shake it soon !

Mostly, yes I did get the second seat glued up ! So pretty productive day !

Bill, that’s some serious money for 4 or 5 months work ! I would have a hard time saying no to that ! Of course when I think of you driving up in the vastness of Northern Ontario, I think of Ice Road Truckers ! One of my favorite shows on the History channel !!

Buppies, prayers for you and your wife !

Hope all have a blessed and safe day !

 

[Thomas]

5F clear sky day low 30's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today... not really sure yet,might take walk looking for antler shed later on watch some NASCAR.

Enjoy your day all.

 

[wngsprd]

26 working up to 49. Felt good outside, but woodstove feels good after coming in from morning chores. I heard what sounded like a pack of 100 dogs barking as they were running something, likely a fox. Came in and saw them run across the yard, but never saw what they were running...it must have had a good lead.

Kyle, great job on the goal. I see a lot of 3-pointers in the future.

BEF, sorry still feeling crappy.

m70 - I have had the MS 261 C-M for 4 years...never a problem, and easy to use. I had finally worn out my 026 after 30+ years.

Yesterday morning took my MIL's sofa bed to the regular collection "dump" hoping to hit the trails over there on the way back...nope...nice lady told me only two collection centers in the county accepted mattresses...they have a special dumpster and they get shredded...so drove back 18 miles from the center of the county to the western side and unloaded. Came home, had a bowl of chili and took a nap.

Probably head back over to MILs where my wife has been the last 3 days. Help move out remaining trash and take down her old bed and make another trip to the dump. Getting low on coffee, so need to clean my roaster and roast a couple of batches.

Still hear those dogs. Too bad it's a red fox, not a gray fox...they can climb trees.

 

[DarkBlack]

12F and mostly sunny. Feels like a nice early spring morning
