Good morning!!!!

Managed to lose a clevis link from my tire chains. I'll put it back together with a screw-together link. I should hunt down some spare clevises.

Don't worry, you will find it in the spring. The first time you mow.

Could be, but I hope not. I'm putting new blades on the mower this spring. :laughing:

I might find it when the snow melts. It has to be somewhere in or along the driveway, the dog path, the loop around the pond, or behind the house where I was scooping away the snow that came off the roof. I first noticed it while working behind the house, but I'm not sure when it fell off. If it had a scent, I could give the dogs something useful to do.

Gary, I think team Canada took all the wind out of the USA team's sails. Canada's strategy worked perfectly. I wish them luck in their Gold Medal game with Sweden tomorrow.

Thanks, I have to work but the tv will be on there for sure.

Jim, I think the o'possums from down under have a lot more fur than ours in the southern USA. Ours look like a raccoon with mange. The iconic photo or drawing of them is in a persimmon tree in the fall when the persimmon crop is huge. I don't know what percentage of their diet is persimmons or other fruits/nuts, but certainly they have to eat something in the winter if they don't hibernate. Perhaps they store away acorns and nuts in hollow trees and winter over there.

Jin They love my place and clean me out of plums, figs, apples. It is estimated that nationally they eat 21,000 tonnes of vegetation each night. A lot of that is new growth on native trees and a lot of big old native forest trees are dying. At night they come out and sit on the warm road where they get blinded by the headlights and meet with Messers Firestone/Michelin. They don't seem to touch the Nashi pear, Feijoa or Tamarillos but then some B idiot imported and released the Australian Rainbow Loriikeet for that. They don't need to store food to carry themselves through winter.

Good Morning. 0335, cloudy, 48F with 90% humidity. High of 69F with 90% chance of rain Sunday, and a low of 61F with 90% chance of rain Sunday night.

One more Saturday night. I just got in from work. But I won't have to sit around and unwind like last week. I had the glasses down in the car most of the way home trying to stay awake.

Everyone have a good day.

35 right now and overcast. Today's high is 40 in the forecast...hope so.

Cleaned out most of the frozen slush on the drive, road (in front of the drive) and walkway. Busted the Gator's plow mount. Looks like a bolt sheared. I hope that's all it is.

I went to the emergency ward at the hospital in Randolph Saturday morning. My toe next to the pinkie toe was black and blue (had been for a couple days)...the painful twinges have been waking me up at night and I can barely drive. I've been wearing one slipper when driving. The odd thing is when I'm up and about, no pain. I thought it might be bad circulation but the doc said I broke some capillaries in the toe. It's pink again, but I still have the painful twinges now and then.
If you recall, I busted my little toe (same foot) a few weeks back....turns out it hadn't been broken (X-rays proved that yesterday). I guess it was the same problem....just migrated to the adjacent toe.

 

[WayneB]

Thomas you are so right! Seeing I have not been outside since I had the knee operation I am not going to chance it going there.
It is nice to have one close by though. We shop that way often at either BJ's or Market Basket and the traffic is normally heavy around there.

Dang Roy,you gotta start slowing down little before you damage more of your body.

Yeah...you know I'm one of those "Hardy New Englanders"...even if I am a transplant from the mid-Atlantic area.
I must admit, this winter has been tough on this old man... But recall that Friedrich Nietzsche quote "That which does not kill us makes us stronger."

Good morning to everyone. 24F here heading to 29F. All Canadians are up early to catch the gold metal hockey game. I have to work but boss knows I am watching the game on the big screen in the lobby. Canada is up 2 nothing at this point and unless there is a total collapse, they should be taking home the gold.

 

[ronjhall]

Drinking second cup of coffee. 69° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 82° with clouds most of the day. Going to start getting motorhome ready for traveling further west.
Good Morning All.

Good afternoon folks!

I am amazed to say it is a beautiful day here in Scotland with bright sun and something resembling warmth!!

This is the first time in my life that I have ever seen the lawn getting long enough to need mowed in February. I would go out and mow today but we are going to be moving home in a week or two so there is no point - that and I currently don't have a gas mower (just an old electric).

Have a good Sunday everybody and I hope you are all well.

I am decended from hardy folk from the freaking high northern reaches of Canuckastan!!! And I have been dreaming of Florida.....

If anybody cares, there are a lot of Canadian snowbirds in Florida. They may be hardy, but they ain't dumb!!
