Good Morning!!!! 48F @ 5:15AM. Mostly sunny. High 58F. Winds light and variable.

Seems like the weather guessers would be making a bigger deal about the very cold temps in the middle of the country, but there's not a peep about it out here. And last night the TV weatherman cancelled the chance of rain we had for early in the new week. :confused2:

Hope everyone out there takes it easy in the snow and is able to stay warm. Especially Ron!

Got a nice Christmas Card from Liberty Mutual yesterday, declining to renew my homeowner's insurance. Not surprising, really, what with all the big fires near here and to the south. Talked to a local independent agent who was very busy writing "non-standard" policies with Lloyds of London and other companies that aren't registered in California, at twice the going premium charges. I've got feelers out to friends and neighbors to see what they plan to do, but my bet is that the problem is going to be very wide spread.

Finished the last of the Cowboy Stew last night, and that last spoonful still tasted like more. Gonna need to whump up another batch real soon, and make sure some of it gets into the freezer this time.

All packed up and ready to head south at first light. First leg will find me in Lancaster, CA this evening, just a short walk from a nice brew pub. Temps are in the thirties down in the valley, so I'm going to need that extra layer and all the heat the electric grips and jacket can put out.

10°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 25° today.

Crabby this morning. Not much sleep last night. The boy decided to get up and go in and out (I lost track how many times) at some point after midnight, alarm system beeping every time he disarmed it and opened the back door. Wife got up and fussed at him over it several times. Youngest dog woke up around 04:00 and decided her crate would make a fine place to potty, the stench of which woke me from my already thin sleep. My alarm at 05:00 was a quite unwelcome sound. Going to be a long day.

On the bright side, traffic this week has almost been pleasant.

Hope everyone with real problems has a better day today.

Stay warm, fellas.

-11 below now single numbers for high but the windchill going to be tough at times.
Todays plans keep my nose and toes warm and inside puttering.

Yesterday was long work day 7am- 1am this morning for another co worker also call in and we both weren't happen what we found waiting for us,but most of all the reason why this young guy didn't do as he promise and management accepted his request for the time off....As they say spare the rod spoil the child...

Well it looks like storm will slide to south of us this coming weekend :cool2: dang glad about that,but the chimneys will be puffing like old locomotive next several day.

Well, just had a plumber here to replace the pressure tank for the well....can't complain too much. The old tank was probably 20some years old.

As far as staying warm...think I'm staying in the house for the rest of the day!
