Good morning!!!!

[PJSprog]

33°F and partly cloudy this morning, going up to 62° today! I can't remember the last time we had a morning low above freezing.

On the other side of that, the mud has returned.

Good afternoon, gents.

55 deg. out, turned pellet stove off.
Got the stone out of the yard from pushing snow.
Need to buy 2 fence posts for the split rail, the wind last week knocked one rotted one over. I keep replacing 1 or so a year. Had one break at the ground late fall, and I put a T post next to it to hold it. Will probably buy a spare, wish I could find locust ones, not these PT ones.
Just found a place up in PA, above lancaster, that sells locust split rail posts, $34 each I think he said. PT at HD are $18 ea... Hard decision, these PT ones have lasted almost 20 yrs.
got my bike miles in.

I like the sound of the electric pump, too, to avoid the overhead and noise of a compressor. Can you point me in the direction of the setup you found?

Here is what I got. Works well.

Things are just ducky at Drews house!
It must be warm outside, the steel roof is unloading. The freezing rain didn't happen, but a big flake snow did happen.
When I go out for supper I will check and see if I am plowing tomorrow.

Good Evening Dennis,

Need to buy 2 fence posts for the split rail, the wind last week knocked one rotted one over.

I have to agree with you, for the price the PT posts last a long time ! I’m not sure I could ever realize the benefits of locust posts at my age !

 

[Looking4new]

As long as the snow holds off, I will NOT be plowing tomorrow. We've got less than an inch so far.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.3C and it's presently 23.4C, mostly sunny & fairly calm.

Yesterday's Dentist visit went pretty much as expected = yes, the tooth is cracked and can't be 'saved'. The Dentist that 'can' perform an extraction will be available on Monday and I've made an appointment for that arvo. It's all part of living in a small town... I'm just grateful that St Helens is 'big enough' to have a Dental practice.

Besides that, I've 'put up' with the tooth for a couple of months so one more week won't be a burden.

So, this arvo I should get at mowing around the house, driveway & front paddock.

That's about it, take care all.

Yes, but saw a nice restaurant up there I want to try, so will probably go and buy 3 or 4, later in week.
