Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Poured first cup of coffee. -0° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 12° with a few clouds. Made it to midnight after falling asleep for a couple of hours and awaking. But missed all the actual event because I was watching a movie. No plans for today. Call a few friends and family to wish them a Happy New Year.
Riptides, Wife just went through a course of PT. While the people are good they all seem to forget that my wife has other conditions besides the ALS that they are there for. I waste no time telling them what they may not be aware of. Even though it is on the paperwork. Prayers for your wife and you.
Buckeye, prayers for continued recovery.
Prayers in the new year for good health and good times.
Good Morning All.

Just got my 3rd cup of coffee. NWS says it's 15 degrees going for a high of 27 today, with a northerly breeze around 15 mph, gusting to 20 mph. I may just do a lot of TV watching today.:laughing: My wife thanks everyone for the birthday wishes.

You are going to have to test the teen theory by yourself Bird, it's only suppose to get in the low twenties here.
Keep and eye on your thermostat if is says emergency heat or auxiliary heat then your heat strip has been activated and you are not quite as energy efficient as the heat pump alone.

Yep, Don, as expected the heat strip just activated a few minutes ago. Gonna start the year with a big electric bill. But I'll pay it to stay comfortable.:laughing:

Staying comfortable here too, 15 degrees out, high of 31 today.
Sigarms nice to hear from you.

currently cooking some "artisan grade" bacon given to me by friends, doesn't look much different than other thick bacon
but will soon find out.

early afternoon when it's warmest out I may head down to see if I can hook up the fertilizer spreader.

Otherwise happy new year gentlemen. And ladies if some are reading...wish we had more on here.

Best wishes for you to have a Happy 2018!

3 going to 25.

Bright moon on big frost here last night, too.

Plan on going to the gym this morning...they have had a tradition of giving special t-shirts to folks that come in on New Years Day...and since I sat in a lazy-boy nearly all day yesterday watching a Game of Thrones marathon with my wife, I need some exercise.

Happy New Year, all!

I didn't make it to midnight, but I hardly ever do anymore.

-30 and a high of -11 Wind S 6 mph. An 'extreme cold warning' in effect. I wonder when that will happen? Temps of 30-40 below are normal for this part of the country (Northern Ontario) at this time (winter) of the year. It would be abnormal if they happened in July/August.

Back in my drinking days, new years day was a good excuse to go get drunk all over again at the 'Presidents' levy held at the local RCL (Royal Canadian Legion) [much like the VFW in the 'States].
Although I know where the Legion is in this town, in the almost 24 years I have lived here, I have never been inside the doors. I can, and do support them, but I will not frequent them.

Anyway, everybody try to keep warm and dry (if that is your thing).

-28 right now...that might be a record. High is supposed to be 0 degrees.

After watching a couple old movies while sipping on wine (a Merlot), I headed to bed at 2330 or so....

I hope you all had a great New Year's Eve!

Was out feeding birds when we reached our low of 2...wearing a neck gator over my face...had big frosty eyebrows when I came in. Sun's up now, and the bearded frost on the field grass (like Eric's photo) is looking like a thousand mirrors...sparkling as it reflects the sun. It's gonna be a good year!
