18°, won’t go up much. Will set new yearly low tonight, and again tomorrow night

Will probably get tractor out later. Unfortunately still got forks on, pellets on pallet, aimed wrong way.
Hard to decide to plow this amount.

Both geo units down 2°, but didn’t turn pellet stove up, it’s set low.

good morning, 15 high will be 19 today and going to a low of 7 later on

kept some oil fire going overnight. made it more comfortable this morning. stoked up the wood fire to get that nice radiant heat

Cleats were used this morning to be safe. never know where that ice is hiding under snow

Bubbies hope the eye appt goes well. I am adapting to the injury and getting along with modifications trying to protect that finger with the splint that seems to stick out and be in the way of everything I do. don't need a repeat performance

snow plowed some yesterday, about 6 inches and cleaned a foot path as best I could over to the garage for the rtv. this morning will improve on the snow clearing

Good morning, the low is -28 and going up to -4°F. Wind calm. Mainly sunny!

I am pretty sure I'm not going anywhere today. Just feed the stove.

Ron, nice woodpecker, no matter what model it is.

I remember when I busted my little finger, the quack at emergency said that after the swelling went down I would have to see a surgeon and get it rebroke to get it to set straight. I told her that wasn't going to happen. She told me if I didn't it would heal crooked. Both my little fingers are crooked. My mother busted her little finger and it was crooked, when I was born both my little fingers were crooked. Only kept the cast on for 2 weeks. It got in the way and I couldn't wear my rubber gloves to load asphalt.
So it is crooked, who cares? Not me. I wasn't put on this earth to win any beauty contests.

Have a safe day all.

Good Morning
11° under a clear sky, forecast is for that to double.

Yesterday started out grey and ended up white. I did get the mounting plates center punched on the excavator, the tool worked perfectly. Got the whole mount clamped up to see how it goes together.

Of course we had to take a break to fly models in the snow. Actually had an accumulation of ice on the model, you could tell from the performance that it was time to land.

Spent the rest of the day in front of the fire, watched the Eagles win in the snow, then went out about 945 after the snow stopped to plow, DIL had to leave for work at 5:30, and I didn’t want to get up that early.

Gonna get up, have some breakfast, and then go plow the neighbors. Probably back in the shop after that.

The wood furnace in the basement keeps the basement at 76°F, the same temperature as I keep the main floor. The cold air return for the oil furnace sucks up the warm air from the wood stove and reheats it to send upstairs. It seems to work good and I don't use as much oil that way. I subscribe to the theory of warm feet, warm butt.

Morning all;
A balmy 6F this morning. About 3-5 inches of wind blown snow to take care of this morning.
Better get busy so contractor can get up the driveway.

All stay safe and enjoy

Good morning TBN!!
18 this morning with some clouds. Won't get out of 30s again until late in the week.

Not to much yesterday. Got anti-freeze in the tractor and various other engines. Mostly they were good but wanted to be sure.
Not much else except entertain the dog and putter in the shop. Looks to be the agenda for today too.
Time for a second cup

Everyone have a great and safe day!!

Good Morning,
Ct, 10 to start going to 22 ! We got about 4” of the white stuff, but since it was warm when it started snowing there is slush under the snow so I’m thinking that I better get out there fairly soon before the slush turns to ice!

Should be an interesting inauguration this morning !

Hope all have a good start to their week ! 🙏
