29 going down to 27 high 33 snow up to 2 in possible then freeze high upper 20s low 11. Middle of next week milder low 50s. Believe cold air reloading Christmas or a little after and more precipitation chances. Very windy yesterday morning calmed down later. Did not get much done yesterday one of those down days.

Prayers for Dons BIL all those who are under the weather or waiting tests results.

I’m up way to late goes with territory

Good morning, the low is 7 and going up to 19°F. Wind W 6 mph. 30% chance of flurries.
Saturday and Sunday night it is going to be colder than a well diggers butt, so I think I will get the plowing out of the way today or tomorrow morning.

Buppies is up way too late and I am up way too early. What a pair.

Have a safe day all

Drinking first cup of coffee. 19° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 28° with cloudy skies. Grocery shopping went good yesteday. Even found a bag of Ice melt at first place I stopped. It was last one. Bag from last year had hardened up like concrete. Should have checked it before needed.
Dr. appointment went good. More meds to pick up today. Return on test and X Rays are all within normal number so far. Only plans for today is pickup meds. Rest of day will be conserve energy.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
26 going up to 35 in sunshine today
not much planned for today, have a ten percent off coupon at supermarket I may
go use. Then later this afternoon brother picking me up to go to 1740 house in Lumberville for a
Friday afternoon drink. The owner is his closest friend, who also owns Holly Hedge, a large catering venue
not far from my home. I think they are booked up at least a year in advance with weddings and parties.

though I wonder....are weddings changing with the times? Big church weddings, country club,etc etc.
I've always thought simpler was better.
some poor groom's parents paying a hundred bucks a plate for rubbery chicken.
the financial planner in me thinks gosh if you only put that money away in long term savings...
but that's not how it goes usually

Frits, I was impressed with your commercial wrenches. Proto still in business.
pretty hard to wear out a quality box wrench
which is why that Craftsman is still around.

Good morning TBN!!
Right at the freezing mark this morning and calm. Going to make a run at 50 with sun.

Up to early this morning and to my surprise my wife was already up and working on house stuff.
Spent yesterday on the Macbook making it my own. I have always been a windows guy so it's a bit of a learning curve. I don't know why but when I fired it up it was ready to be reset.
Started on another leg arm. Marlin Model 25. Much better shape then the previous one I was working on.
Probably more of the same today. Or not.
I have a pile of boxes coming today too but likely no chance of porch pirates. We live 1/4 mile from the road and our mailman is great. Gets them to the house and if he doesn't see anybody leaves them in the truck or car.

Time for a second cup
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

Had to laugh. My FIL offered me 5k to elope. Wife wasn't having any of it though.

in a situation too close to me, a young man was offered 50 thousand dollars at the Friday night dinner to not
marry his daughter the next day, because Father knew she was deeply mentally ill. Young man thought love would cure all.
I remember those days...
His wife committed suicide a year later.
Father knew best.

my second wife is permanently mentally disabled.
I did my very best but was too much for me.
one of my life's biggest failings was leaving those three inherited kids behind.
and then one of them committed suicide by OD.
The one who used to jump in my arms when I got home from work.
Always held myself responsible in some small way

hard to talk about mental illness but it sure is out there and folks
don't know how to deal with it.
