Good morning!!!!

[Thomas]

Back from hand specialist appointment

Scar tissue had to be broken up and was mummed and finger forced to bend. Big crack sound and worried about fracture so back in Xray. Fortunately no break
Forced the finger the full range and ordered PT

This will unfortunately delay using that hand fully so activities will continue to be limited. Need to find some source for firewood. Should be able to stack it hopefully

Slow and steady you young whipper snapper.

29F old man winter decided to move on an hour ago.

Steady morning doing some of this and that,afternoon put the body in low gear.
Guess it's time clean step etc. of 2 1/2" snow,not going attempt driveway etc. 40's for week should take care of that.

Plans for the evening...rest the back pockets more.

Enjoy your evening all.
.............................................
BIG ole pot seafood chowder...crab,lobster,scallops,onion,cube potatoes,clams,chunks salmon going to be interesting to say the least hope no side affects.

that chowder looks delicious

it's been very lightly raining all day, system has now passed to the East and
it looks like a little more sun trying to arrive.
.37 inches of rain, nice slow soaker, perfect for my grass seed.
will make area I want to cover in pavers much easier to deal with.

50 degrees, high of the day.
need to go for one more walk

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.7C and it's presently dipped down to 6.9C this dawn. Clear and calm.

Election 'preps' accomplished yesterday, and I'm off to the Church in a few minutes to meet the electrician @ 0800.

How long that is going to take is anyone's guess.

That's about it, take care all.

Good Morning,
Ct, 34 to start going to 49 with rain most of the day, sounds like a break by 4 or so.

Youngest son just called, looks like we are watching 2 of the grands this morning, both of them have colds so hope we don’t get sick


Mostly, tasting went well, maybe a tad too much wine but we had a DD . The only beer that we drank was the day before at Blue Point brewery in Patchoque. But a nice weekend overall.

Lou, hopefully

Spent some time in Sayville back in the 70’s. Ate a bunch of Blue Point oysters.

45° this morning, got up to 64°
Overcast this morning but no rain. Cleared off and sunny this afternoon.
I’m beat, worked on deck all day. Got 2 outer boards ripped off, in pieces, and got the outer 2 posts installed. Rail brackets came, really like them. Will use old railing until I get new decking on, then will put on new railings.

Today is pebbles 3rd birthday. I’m in recliner with both cats holding me down. Snagglepuss is on picnic table on the deck, she was my helper today.

Good Evening Dennis,

I’m beat, worked on deck all day.

Dennis, I’m planning on bringing the decking material up to Vermont on April 1st which is a Tuesday. I will be coming home that Friday, in between I’m hoping to get the majority of the old deck ripped off and hopefully some of the Trex installed.

There is no doubt in my mind that I will be in the same shape or worse. I also doubt that I will be able to work on it for an entire day straight.

I need an 18 ft square edge for the end, in order to make the 45° for the border. Those are hard to find. Sides will be cut from 16 ft.
Need to pick up some more 4x4 for posts.
