Good morning, the low is 24 and going to 43°F. Wind WSW 3 mph. Sunny!

The oil guy comes today and if I catch him I will tell him that if he comes back in about 2-3 hours he can probably get rid of another 130 gallons or so. His call.

After I top off the tank there is nothing for me to do except hold down the chair.

Have a safe day all

40 going to 62. Yesterday's freeze did a number on our azaleas and apples and other plants.

Mostly, prayers for your brother.

Lou, I'm with you on the knee pads when I go under our house. Hope you get good results from your therapy.

Took Della for a hike and swim. Met a new dog. Then later did a complete mowing for the first time this year. Even did an extra area. I waited until late afternoon when the wind had died some, but the cold temps had me freezing and stiff by the time I finished near sunset. I think it's the first time I've mowed while smelling the woodstove burning outside at the same time.

Morning all!
26 going to a partly cloudy 52.
Not much going on here. Errands to run and puttering around the house and shop.
Weather hasn't been cooperative to working outside. Was hoping to get the railing installed this weekend but it looks like heavy rain is coming!
Out to breakfast with family tomorrow. Should be fun!
Couple of projects completed in the shop. Will attach. All were in stages of completion and just needed finishing.
All for now. Typing hurts my still active sore hands!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Good Morning,
Vt, 22 to start going to 46 with clear skies this morning but sun is not up quite yet. Sitting in my usual spot this morning with a cup of coffee on the wood stove.

Today we have company coming in around noon time. They are coming in from Keene, NH.

I need to get a few things done before they get here, like finish limbing the birch tree I dropped into the field yesterday. I also have some more rounds that I use for campfire wood that need to be split. Hope to get that done also.

I got up early this morning before 5, couldn’t sleep. But did get to see a mostly full moon on the western horizon, beautiful sight.

Mostly, thoughts and prayers to you and your family 🙏 Very difficult time I’m sure. 🥲

The oil guy comes today and if I catch him I will tell him that if he comes back in about 2-3 hours he can probably get rid of another 130 gallons or so. His call
Bill, funny that you mention that, I’m always looking for a place to finish my load before heading back to the terminal. 😉 I really like an empty tank before reloading.

Looks like rain coming in late tonight. Hopefully weather not too bad Friday 🙏.

Hope all have a great day 🙏

44 outside right now, may touch 60 today. Rain expected later.

Moving out of towners around today for tomorrow. Need to make some supply runs this AM, between normal workloads and crazy real job. LOL.

Hope all have a great day. Positive thoughts to those ailing and sympathies for those hurting. Be safe.

Phil, hope your hands calm down. I started my regimen of pineapple juice this morning, will see how my hands
and arthritis feel in a couple weeks.

Buppies, thankful your wife is coming home, hope all goes well

Mostly sorry to hear about your brother

The Primeweld MIG 225 and Cut 60 showed up yesterday. Pretty heavy packages

Good morning TBN!!
45 and cloudy this morning. Mid 60s this afternoon with rain moving in.
Didn't get in the tank yesterday, probably not today either. I don't like damp cool weather! Hard on the body.
I ended up cleaning up the garage and If I needed to I could move the 4 wheeler aside and park both of our cars in it again...not that we ever do :unsure: :D
Spent some time with the dog. Wife has taken over daytime entertaining while I work.
Not much on todays agenda. Probably more puttering and re arranging in the garage.

And now it's time for a second cup
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

Good Morning
39° with a high of 50 predicted. Grey outside now, rain coming late in the day and continuing for the next few days at least.
I don’t think that I got to check in yesterday, the shed delivery got me on my feet early.
FAA physical went well, I’m good for the next six months, got some chores done, it doesn’t look it, but I’m making progress in the shop.
The shed delivery driver did a great job, got it onto the pad without making a mess out of the wet ground. His trailer was awesome, it had wheels that extended down to lift it off the ground and move it sideways. It made maneuvering that long trailer a breeze. He said that placing it with the trailer would be easier, but using the “mule” would be better and cleaner, so he unloaded the shed on the blacktop and placed it with the mule.

A friend stopped by and left me a couple of pizza peels that he ordered by mistake. I gave them to the local pizzeria.

The 3D printer project dejour was a battery caddy for Milwaukee M18 batteries. It holds 8 of them. I’m all Makita, but my mechanical contractor buddy is all M18 Milwaukee. He saw my Makita battery carrier and asked if I could make one for Milwaukee. Here’s the result.

Finished the day with an Airport Authority meeting last night.
Today is the first day that doesn’t have something firm scheduled in what seems like an eternity. Definitely no doctors.

Phil, I’m curious as to how you carved the OD of the bowl that looks like a helical cut gear. It appears to be amazingly uniform.

Good Morning! 54˚F heading to the lower 90s, SW wind becoming NE later.
Truck is in the body shop and BIL's funeral has been arranged.
I was canceled at the Farm yesterday, lack of ticket sales, which was fine with me, I like it busy.

Worked a few hours on the dry riverbed we may be getting close to the half way point. Watered all new transplants.

Mostly sorry to hear about your brother.
Buppies take it slow and easy when your wife returns, glad you got extra help.

Morning all, 39 going up to 53 and cloudy

Aunt sent me a tree as memorial to my dad, unfortunately it would be deer food if I just put it out back. Will have to find someplace protected, maybe the pool area. On my raised back deck for now.

Mostly - so sorry to hear, our prayers go out to you and his family.

Popgadget - the mule when they delivered my shed lifted it like it was nothing, and right in place. Your shed looks good.

Buppies - great news and hope she gets the continued care she needs. We know you are there for her always. If you need to chat on home care, PM me, we just went through it with my dad and are still going through it with my Uncle, so far both worked well for us and huge help to them.

Be well,

Seems like spring is really here, though still a bit cold.
