Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 13 and going up to 25°F. Wind W 7 mph. 40% chance of flurries.

I will be plowing today.
The past three storms I have been giving this place a 'lick and a promise', well yesterday it came back to bite me hard! $160.oo poorer and I was on my way to the dump and PO.
Tow truck came and winched me out of the hole I dug for myself.
Came back from town and spent 2 hours cleaning up the upper part of the driveway. I'll go out today and clean up the rest and the neighbours too.

I did transfer about 125 gallons of fuel oil into the house tank, while I was waiting for the tow truck. So my time wasn't a total loss.

That is my day planned out.

Have a safe day all

29 outside right now, should get to mid 50's.

Another late night with the real jobs. Lots of traffic on the roads, in the evening and early morning. Lots of people moving about when it is unexpected. Odd.
Wife did grocery run, no beer, sad. I'll have to run out this AM between stuff.

Not much else planned. Work is fingers in the dike right now. So over it.

Hope all have a great start to the weekend. It needs to dry up a lot more before I attempt any "yard" work. Maybe today. Time to get into the rat race.

Be safe.

Good Morning
32° and not a cloud in the sky. High in the upper 40’s.

Yesterday I got the hydraulic cylinder apart and went to the hydraulic shop for parts, they couldn’t pull them until later in the day, so that project was put on hold. Fortunately they did have them, Kubota discontinued them. The issue was that they were moving or rearranging the parts shelves and couldn’t locate them until things were put back together.
My buddy picked up the parts, so reassembly will happen this morning.
The backsplash tile is grouted and caulked, small job,but still time consuming.

Picked up the extended strike plate from the powder coater, worked out well.

I’m discovering that there is a world of free drawings ready to 3D print available on line, there is no need to reinvent the wheel, and make your own drawings for everything. Here is a magazine loader that I found and printed.

Made a mailbox mount and welding cable hanger with the brake for the hydraulic press, I definitely like the electric pump better than the pneumatic one.

Got the trash and recycling gathered up and down to end of the lane, grabbed some dinner in time for a zoom RC club meeting to end the day.

Today will likely start like yesterday, working on the hydraulic cylinder, but going together rather than coming apart.
Not sure what will follow, I’ve got a few lingering computer projects to get back to, and trying to tidy things up before I go off to Wichita for 4 days of recurrent training on Sunday afternoon.

Good morning! 63˚F heading to a warm 87˚ partly cloudy, SW wind.
Successful Day yesterday, Replaced 4 landscape lights that were still just under warranty (saved $600), Replaced noisy leaking pool pump, received written approval to install trellis in courtyard, cleared 6 feet in dry river bead, programed smart Brilliance socket for landscape lights to come on at 6pm and go off at 9pm and connected it to the house hub. Pic of yard dry river bed and rock bridge.

Good Morning,
Vt, 20 to start going to 32 ! Sunny skies now with a few passing clouds, but the real story is severe winds all night into today! Nothing melting now !

The gang should be here sometime this afternoon, so hoping the winds slow down so the kids can get some outside time , sliding etc !

I may take the tractor out and move a little snow around for a better sliding run !

Scotty, it does look cozy. I fired up my woodstove late yesterday so it would be warm when my wife returned from babysitting overnight at our granddaughter's house

Billy, I’m sitting in the same place this morning but with a cup of coffee ! Considerate gesture for your wife !

Maybe a little shop time today, because if these winds continue I won’t be outside too long !

Hope all have a Good Friday !

Good Morning Paul,
Back splash came out very nice ! Yes those jobs can be time consuming! When I put the addition on the Vermont house I put green slate along the back wall of the family room. In my case tough on the knees !

Home front nothing changed

My wife just told me she knows a woman who's sister demonstrated similar behavior and was diagnosed with a thyroid problem. Obviously just a guess on my part, but in case your wife hasn't had her thyroid checked. Here's what I found when I looked it up...

"Thyroid problems can significantly impact mental health, as the thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating hormones that influence mood, cognition, and energy levels. Here's a breakdown:

• Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid): This condition can lead to symptoms like depression, fatigue, memory issues, and slowed thinking. People may also experience apathy, low motivation, and even symptoms resembling melancholic depression or dementia in severe cases2.
• Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid): This can cause anxiety, irritability, mood swings, and even panic attacks. People with hyperthyroidism might feel restless, impatient, or emotionally unstable3.

Both conditions can mimic or exacerbate mental health challenges, making it essential to address thyroid imbalances for overall well-being. If you're concerned about thyroid-related mental health issues, consulting a healthcare professional is a good step."
