[m7040]

good morning, 30 going to 36, winter weather advisory in effect starting tonight

Discovered more tax information missing to be delivered to the accountant today

Brother was moved into a hospice facility after another hospitalization

Called Surefire for warranty on the old flashlight that I carry, turns out the end cap was not tightened enough

Morning all, 28 going to 26 and cloudy.
Still wiped out.

While it was not unexpected, it is still very sad that Bird has passed on. He was great to chat with and had a lot of good stories and advice, he will be missed, prayers to his family.
He was one of the first people to welcome me to TBN.

M7040 - sorry about your brother, hope he is not in too much pain.

Be well,
Staring contest dog vs. doe

took Volvo downtown to local bank after Ford taken back to dealer.
sure going to miss that car, drives like a sports car compared to big suv.
but then it can't pull an rv.

came home to see snow alert. ??
seems a band of snow is sneaking over to the shore and going to snow here for a little while this morning.
that's fine, I'm home, going nowhere, and likely not enough to shovel.

I did a search to find when Bird told us he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
It was in April of 2021. I enjoyed all his post while looking for this one.
Post in thread 'Good morning!!!!'
Good morning!!!!

Thanks.
I see Roy was still with us then, and Eric from the UK.

32° and overcast. Won’t get much warmer. Radar shows snow, but nothing outside.
Freezing rain starts at midnight, until about 9 am tomorrow.

Called an old HSA to verify no funds left there. All good there.
Woke up, son had left early. Forgot he had Dr appt.
Only got 5 miles on bike and started coughing, so taking a break.
Dr called me the other night, wants a recheck on blood work. Sugar was high. Need to schedule lab work.

Special thoughts prayers for you brother m7040.

Good morning TBN!!

41 this morning and might add 10 to it under cloudy skies. Crazy! It was 80 yesterday. Broke a 120+ yo record.
Haven't posted in a couple of days. It would've been my sons 44th Bday on Sun. First bday since he passed so it has been a pretty blue few days around the Lazy L.
We did get some great news though. FEMA inspected our bridge Fri and we got a check Tues. Gave us 1/2 times our estimate. Gas. diesel, food and such contributed to the extra $$.
My grader has found an 8' x 20' tank. It needs the ends cut out of it but I can handle that if I can get it close to the garage. I can "customize" it by the river but would like to get it close to the garage where I have power and big compressor for the plasma cutter. Otherwise I'll load the small compressor and generator to handle it. At least things are looking up from that stand point.
Not too much else except some 4 wheeling and dog walking.

Time for second cup and see what the day holds!

Have a great and safe day!!

Be Careful cutting those ends out. I'm sure you've checked on what was in the tank, but still......

Morning all!
High of 19 reached dropping to 6 tonight.
RIP to Bird! Prayers for him and his family and friends!
A bit under the weather yesterday and today. Not sure if a touch of the flu or acid reflux issues from something!
Resting and keeping the fluids going.
Looks like ice and snow for us tonight and tomorrow. Then more this weekend.
Pellet stove is going nuts on us! It's either 75 in the house or shut off. Ordered a new board for ir. Should be in on Saturday. Will see if my brother in law can repair the old one with a heavier duty potentiometer.
This is the third one going bonkers on this stove. You can feel that it somehow arcs inside and burns the contacts.
Nothing else going on. Back to my resting. Wanted to make sure I acknowledged Bird!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

62°F and .22 inches rain

My stint with solar guy didn’t go as expected. Possible ended day in worse shape than started. More questions than answers. Need to get a generator tech to check out the Kohler propane Genset.

Off the Kona for a Costco run this morning

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day.

I was scrolling through the posts from that day, too, and thinking the same thing. Randy was still coming around back then as well.

Did anyone ever find out why Eric disappeared?

I tried to direct PM him and go not response.
Same with Heloglobals (spelling?).

Ford dealership emails back, we fixed it with an update.
maybe they updated the nav map data and that fixed the reason why it was losing
gps signal. Or maybe not. They are bringing it back to me.
another 200 for this, my warranty deductible.
I actually don't mind paying a couple hundred bucks to have the map data updated;
always thought Garmin's promise of updates for life a major plus for them.
you sure don't get updates for life for anything in our cars.

am curious to see if they washed my car while it was there.
I always tip the guy who returns my car. Let's see if they earned the tip.

Good Morning!!!! 45F @ 9:45AM. Mostly sunny. High 56F. Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph.
A nice respite today from the rain, but Thursday and Friday look wet again. Dry for the weekend, though. Pretty much rained steady all day yesterday, with roof rattling wind to keep things interesting. Just over 2" of rain fell. Now there are river flood warnings up, Lake Oroville is up over 16 feet in the last three days, with only 40 feet left to full.

Thanks for the update on Bird, Ron. There but for the grace of God...

Those GPS updates are rediculously expensive, Drew. Another reason I've gone over to phone based GPS, as that database is kept way more current than the propriatory ones used by the auto manufacturers.

Yesterday I decided to stop digging and reinstalled the smart light switches in the great room. I had carelessly not photographed the connections to the original three and four way switch circuits when I had installed the smart switches, and never got the original switches to work properly when I removed the smart switches. Now everythings working again, but I need a couple of switch plate covers to finish up.

Today I'll load two pallets of firewood into the van, and move a bunch of boxes into it and the trailer. Probably get a little more cleaning done, too.

Happy Hump Day, folks!

41 rain close by looks as if snow next week will go north of us hang on Thomas. I use phone for directions Apple Maps google spies too much. Phone hooks to radio in truck so map shows up with directions best of both worlds

Good afternoon

what brand of pellet stove?

Harman accentra insert. Great stove except for the electronics. I had to change the board in the Harman I have in the woodshop also.

Where do you get the boards? I have Harman, love it. Mine won’t shut off unless I crack the pellet lid. But I’ve ran it like that for years. That started after running it on generator w lousy harmonics.

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.6C and it's presently 21.8C, partly cloudy and fairly calm.

Yesterday turned out to be somewhat 'active'. PO visit resulted in my Aus Gov Pensioner Concession Card finally arriving! So my first stop was to the medical clinic to let them know = no charge for my previous appointment of last week.

Petrol for the ute and weekly groceries, then home.

Phone call to the Power Supplier = concession now applied to my rate. I then wondered if "Telstra" (my phone/internet provider) provided a concession? So I gave it a shot and called them [nothing ventured, nothing gained]. After a half hour on hold waiting for a human, it turns out that 'they' do! Woo-hoo!

The horses then got transferred to Paddock #1. I'll chain-harrow today.

But first today... I noticed a leak from the hose providing water to the "Mad Horse Woman" trough. So I've shut that supply off and will need to go into town to get a replacement hose. Only after that can I think about any 'tractor fun'.

That's about it, take care all.

No snow tonight, but got ice on the deck already.
