Good morning!!!!

I went down for a power nap at 9:30, just got up a few minutes ago. The block heater has been on since 7:30 so the tractor should start good this morning. Time to clean up.

I may have been wrong earlier today aboot the white Christmas.
We have a light snow cover but with 100% cloud cover and only 34F I thought it would hold on.
Only noon and it's already disappearing quick. Grass is showing through everywhere.
It hasn't been that cold except for the past weekend so the ground must still be relatively warm and melting the snow from below.
Good thing I follow the Pagans and the solstice has come and gone.
Spark up the fireplace and stretch out in my favorite Lazy-Boy until the insanity passes.

Picked up groceries curbside and surprised lady with a good sized tip. Brought in firewood and took out ashes.
Spent some time last few days with GD educating her about college and scholorships. Even though 40 k a year sounds like a lot it needs to be compared to cost and how much it may be short. Also encouraged her to get going now on off campus scholarships to make up the difference. D is helping her with the applications and evaluation of acceptance offers.

David, sick at Christmas really sux!

Plowing all done. I am having trouble with my front chains so I took them off. I really need 2" front spacers, but I am too cheap to buy them. I guess I will plow in 2 wheel drive for the rest of the winter.

filled pellet box on porch.
Ran most engines in barn for a winter warmup. Missed little Massey.
Then crawled under Honda pilot.
Could not get oil plug loose with impact, socket not quite square and pops off.
While under there, noticed something not attached that should be attached. Called shop up the road, will take it in Friday. They will also change oil.

Kids watching Diehard. My oldest has to watch every Christmas. I’m getting ready to make Jambalaya for supper.

I had to go and scrape a nuisance 3-5 inch snow fall today, I don't mount my front chains unless we have a severe ice storm forecast or my driveway has gotten a hard packed snow cover on it. So I'm running just rear chains and 4wd. Being in 4wd helps in the corners especially when I brake steer with the front end pulling.

Good and Merry Christmas (Wednesday) morning! Overnight Low of 9.2C and it's presently 23.6C, fairly clear with a gentle breeze.

A lovely midnight Christmas service last night. Home by 0025.

Today will be a Christmas gathering with my neighbours this arvo.

That's about it, take care all.
