Good Morning!!!! 42F @ 6:30AM. Cloudy skies early, followed by partial clearing. High 48F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.

So when does one officially become a senior citizen? AARP lets you join in your 50s, but I'm sure that's so they can get their hooks into you sooner. Uncle Sam sez I can start collecting Social Security next year; does that do it?:confused2:

Only 0.03" of rain fell here yesterday, and no rain in the forecast for the next ten days. Still way behind the averages for both rain and snow, not good. Not good at all.

Apparently there were tornado warnings up yesterday afternoon for a few hours, but since I was working out in the garage, I didn't notice. A few partial funnel clouds were shown on the news last night, but no word that any of them touched down.

Disassembled and cleaned a turn signal switch for the old motorcycle yesterday. Unlike today's electronics, 54 years ago things were made to come apart, and other than oxidation and dirt, there wasn't much sign of any wear on the contacts. That tiny e-clip was a delight to get back into place, though.:eek: The accompanying brake light switch was riveted together, but I managed to get some DeOxIt inside the housing by taping it to the front of a venturi vacuum attachment running off the air compressor and dowsing the actuator pin. It tested out with a few tenths of an ohm of resistance across the contacts; hopefully that's good enough. Finally got another parts order off last night; mostly fastener replacements for the rusted parts I'm finding that don't look like they were ever plated with anything.

Not to bad this morning 15*, yesterday high was in the mid 30's. The wind picked up about noon and the snow started about 3 pm. That lasted tell about 9 pm, ended up getting about 6 inches . Looks like today is going to be partly cloudy with the high in the upper 30's and 15 mph wind.

Other then moving the snow around I don't have much planned for today.

Hope everyone has a nice day.
CWB.

I think it is when you are offered SENIOR discounts and are willing to use them. :D

The younger the employee is the better chance of being offered senior citizen’s discount. When my wife was 40 with white hair an 18 yo offer her the discount. I can’t remember if she took it.
