Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 20 and going to a high of 27°F. Wind NNW 5 mph. Mainly cloudy.

North Bay trip on for today. My ride gets here at 8:30, should be back by noon.

It looks like I will be plowing my driveway out before I go to the quacks tomorrow. Quack appointment at 11:15, ride gets here at 11. I'll get up about 5 and turn the block heater on for about an hour or so and start plowing around 7. This place will be cleared out by 9. I already have a good smooth base down. The first 2"er I ran the BB )> over the driveway and I did the same thing the day before yesterday. Depending on the depth of snow I will probably just use the bucket. The following snowfall as long as the temps stay below freezing I will spin the BB around (> and actually start cutting the snow off.

Drew, still chasing tail at your age? I though Davy Crocket used coon skin hats?

Time to get on with my day.

Have a safe day all

BEF, there looks to be about 100 lbs of venison there.

Yes, a coon skin hat.
Wife’s cousins grandkid we visited in PA had a coon skin hanging, he wants to make a hat from it.

though if no power and no battery backup, why is it beeping?
little detective work needed here

I have never seen a smoke or CO detector that didn’t have a backup battery and beep when it was low. Many have 10 year lithium batteries, some do not have replaceable batteries, but I think that approval requires a battery.

Been a couple yrs since I replaced mine so don’t remember, but it might be powered from. Battery side of inverter.

good idea but no inverter
lights still glowed on autoleveler panel also, will be interesting when I check on it if anything is still lit.
if I turn the master power to off, supposed to be off, not partly off...

I think if you put five or six of those squirrel tails together you could make
yourself a fine scarf..and we sure have an abundance of squirrels.
losing their tail would mess up their balance

waiting for sun to melt frost on car
no reason to get to supermarket early, deli doesn't have a lot of stuff put out yet.
big difference in meat and fish departments of two local stores.
One is fully stocked with all lights on at 8am, open at 7am.
other one is still half asleep at 9am, sometimes cases unlit, not open for business as advertised

I don't have much to buy today, still eating leftover frozen food from rv trip.
need to buy tomatoes, usually makes a sandwich better.
have to make a ham something casserole this afternoon, maybe broccoli and cheese, use up all the
leftover Thanksgiving ham. I normally don't eat much ham, trying to avoid processed foods

Autoleveler may be powered by chassis battery. Disconnect negative cable from battery under hood.

20 outside this Am, heading to lower 40's. Running a little behind on all the morning chores. No reason, just slacking off.

Was working on Milk House bathroom door yesterday. Had a piece of wood over the bathroom frame that needed to come off. Unfortunate it was also wrapped in metal, and attached to the wood underneath and the concrete wall. A two foot strip of wood that must have had twenty nails in it. No idea as to what the purpose was. Maybe at one point it was an outside door entrance way. Who knows. Well in the process of removal I managed to scalp (not skin) two fingers over the joints. That brought the day to an end as the bleeding would just not stop. Some super glue and lots of pressure seemed to abate the issues. Ouch. Today I think I will just sand and paint the frame, and wait until I feel better to hang the door. I need to drill, once again, into concrete. I must have broken at least four or five concrete bits already. I have one left. I don't think it is the same mixtures as to what is on the market these days.

Daughter is up from Petersburg. Looking at furniture. Hope she takes another bedroom set back with her. She brought Sushi home last night so we feasted on that, from our favorite restaurant. Pay back for furniture. LOL.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe. Positive thoughts to those in need or ailing.

Good morning! 38˚F heading to the mid 60s. The central heater is turn on only an hour in the morning. It warms the house from 70 to 72˚. We are slowly getting climatized, the house is 70˚ this morning and does not feel cold anymore.

Backyard camera caught a ringtail strolling around and a family of 4 raccoons.
Hope to finish up the fire pit today.

Drew, I would not count on the squirrels tail growing back like lizards or alligators.

Good Morning
27° clear and a high of 39 forecast.

Yesterday I made some progress, got the Costco run completed, bolted the Diacro bender to the shop floor, got the KubVan inspected , did a bit of cleanup and finished the day with an odd fellows meeting.

Today will start with breakfast with the professor, then I hope to get the oil changed in the Carryall, KubVan and the Prius. That seems to be a task that just keeps getting kicked down the road, but today might be the day.

Also have a geothermal service call to do.

The talk of coonskin caps sent me to my closet-
