Good morning, the low is39 and going to a high of 46°F. Wind S 15 mph. T-storms that were in the forecast are here.

Bye, bye snow.

I slept in. Up at 08:45 hrs.

I don't count steps either.

I have been semi-retired for 12 years (only work 4-5 months/year).

I think I like winter better than summer. Okay, call me nuts but there are less bugs in winter and NO snakes.

One of my jobs this summer will be to take the plug off the dug well and fish the snakes out of it. I don't like snakes but somebody has to do it. These are only garter snakes and copper belly water snakes. The copper bellies are more aggressive, bordering on down right nasty when you fish them out.
In my neck of the woods there are no rattlers, so they say.
I have never seen a rattle snake in the Province of Ontario. I have seen them in Alberta when I worked there.

I have the Dewalt cordless grease gun and a Husquvarna (sp) chainsaw.

As for what I am going to do today?
N o t h i n g. It is raining out.

Have a safe day all
Holy smokes, Bill – snakes in your well? Don’t they contaminate it?

Was thinking maybe a non visible link that when clicked took them to your site instead of allowing to copy.
I joined another site today that is focused on the topic of
IMG_4289.png
many of my historical posts regarding the old railroad that ran past our farm. Seems the local historian back home has already shared many of my posts from my site to this site, so I guess they passed muster. Tonight as I was going thru this new site, I found posts detailing some of the things it took me a long time to figure out. It could have saved me a lot of work had I known about this site earlier.
This pic has me at the old train tunnel near our farm in 1965. Tunnel dug by hand in 1877. My mom rode a train thru this tunnel in 1931 before the RR shut down. I last was in the tunnel in 1986, as the ends were about caved in then. I have yet to find anyone who has pictures from inside this tunnel, other than me. The old train guys love these kind of pictures. Here is inside

Helo, sounds like you really gave that chain saw a work out the other day ! I’m getting tired just reading about it ! 😂


Probably got tired because of messy way I am writing. 😁

Helo nice job on cutting the trees. The trailer with crane is the right tool for sure
The 545 and 261 are very similar chainsaws. The old 261 that I am ditching is a lot heavier but using Magnesium alloys have made them lighter.

Son was admitted to the VA hospital yesterday. Had visit by a couple of the grand kids and friends yesterday. Always interesting to talk to them and see what they are into

Nice to hear about your son.
How your D is doing ?


I was looking what pro guys are buying here. Those, who need new 1k€ saw every year. Got feeling that now industrial logging companies goes more for Husqvarna


~~~~~~~~~

yesterday and today ~ 4 ... 6 C (~ 42 F), and really heavy fog.

Yesterday morning early have made rather chill 2 1/2 h road trip to "grey" Tesla garage, to get new heater. Finally that is addressed ! But was rather exhausting experience. Guys there are really smart and skilled, but all treats what customers can have is (rather dirty) wooden chunk to sit on. 😁 Literally.
And of course - repaired car. 😁
But still - 5 h looking trough windshield. First half of this - without heater
Rant off

Now have brought one son to dentist. Hope they will close well story

Later have to do not-so-long roadtrip with new sales guy, introduce him to existing customers, boost confidence for him

That's about it, have a nice day !

Drinking first cup of coffee. 54° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 26° with cloudy skies and high winds. Yesterday high temperature was 71°. Is it still February. Got gravel cleanup along county road. Helped neighbor move more wood pieces to burn pile. Little after midnight a thunderstorm moved through my area. Woke me up. Thunder shook the house. Never went back to sleep. Going to need a nap before day is over.

Buppies, hope you get more sleep.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.
