Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

good morning all
slept well and long last night, good thing, have a busy day today

gosh, where to start...
Kyle, great news on the Steiner. Was fun to watch video and hear it start.
Mostly, 81 degrees, sounds marvelous...
Bill, now I know what *** lights are :thumbsup:

I think "spitting" rain is a New England thing. We also used to call it "drizzle".
Wonder whether we got spitting term from England.
It was a real education for me moving to the South and seeing folks spit for real.
Mean no insult at all to anyone, but it's pretty gross and causes gum cancer.
But empty cans of Red Man everywhere, picked them out of NC roadside constantly.

Chilly 34 out now, going up to 60 in clouds, then rain tonight.
Temps really drop, two nights in 20's predicted

going out around 7am to start propane heater in garage, helper due over at 9am and we have lots to build.

Good morning all

22 now high around 50 and sunny today.

Most all of the important outside pre-winter stuff is done.
When I serviced the walk behind snow blower a couple of weeks ago I noticed the belts could stand to be replaced.
Stopped by the local Ariens dealer and picked up a new set and will install this week.

Phil - I noticed the same phenomena with the paper goods on this past weeks grocery order. Not really sure of the mindset on this.
Living north of the border does have some advantages but they are disappearing with the rapid growth going on. I moved here almost 40 years ago and where I live has expanded from less than 1500 to a projected 7000 with the 2020 census. Unfortunately many who move here are only looking at the fact that housing is still a relative bargain. It’s funny to hear the new folks complain when they find out there’s no trash pickup and when the power goes out they have no water.
I’ll get off my soapbox now.
Come on up tractors, firearms and love of freedom are always welcome.

prayers for all and our country
Enjoy your day everyone

Frist cup of coffee has been poured. 41° with thunderstorms this morning. Heading to 51° in AM. Then high winds to drop temperatures back into 40's in afternoon. .61" so far. Dr appointment went OK. He told me to take it easy until next appointment on Tuesday. I took that to mean conserve energy for 3 days. I am all for it.
Bright colors.

Brid, you did more than me.

Roy and Don, sorry for neighbor's loss.

LS, project looks even better now that is in place.

Kyle, good to see the Steiner running.

RS, latest Menard Ad says 11% ends 11/25. Good pictures.

Drew, your post reminds me to turn on heat in my shop.

Mostly, I have never blown the line out between house and barn before. But it always seems to have water in it even in it has been shut off at house for months So going to try blowing it out this year.

Phil, my trip shopping Friday did not see any shortage of anything in my area. I had renewed my essential stock about a month ago. Still no wipes though. I use spray disinfectant with paper towels. Good to hear your getting pavers laid.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

Woke up early about 2 hours ago. Been studying operators manual on Steiner. Seems yesterday was the best day to work on it outside.....Cold front just blew through, no rain, but some fairly high wind gusts. Temps dropping from highs yesterday near 90F, to 60's now, headed down to 40's tonight. Waiting for wifey to wake and make coffee.

I get to assist with communion at church today. It means a lot to me, to be a part of it.

Ron, take it easy sounds like a good prescription to me.

I have a close friend who can't sit still. He's always got to be doing something. Rarely watches TV or movies. I tell him "The grass surely doesn't grow under your feet." His wife is OOT for 6 weeks, helping with newborn twins. So, I keep teasing my buddy, he's going to run out of things to do. He had the house cleared out, had new flooring installed, and upgraded bathroom countertops and mirrors. New baseboards, painted and caulked. His wife picked out the flooring. But that project is almost wrapped up, so I need to start teasing him again....."What's next?"

I wish I had some of his motivation. He's 63, and has primarily a desk job at work, so that must be how he stores up physical energy.


Prayers for our team, and our country, also for cures and healing for those in need.

Still waiting for coffee.....I guess I'll go make a pot as quietly as can be. Good thing the beans are already ground.

Hope Coco is getting better.

I was probably like your friend when I was 63. 15 years later I have slowed down a little.

Spitting rain/snow term is common here, Southeastern VA, and in NC. Don’t remember hearing it in CA. We also say drizzle. And in Alabama, NC
and parts of VA, very fine icy snow is called hominy snow.

Kyle, great news on the Steiner.

36 early, headed to 69 with rain and wind later, then sliding down to 45/26 by Wednesday.
Got the hoses all disconnected and stored. I forgot to do the front one a few years ago and it cost me a frost proof faucet.

Breakfast, feed outdoor kitties then church service. Not sure about later.

Discovered I’ve had my Massey one year today. Only got about 90 hours on it. Maybe I’ll take an anniversary ride on it later. LOL

Have a good day, and God bless.

 

[toppop52]

Buppies, hope the water gets out before too long.

Ron, great woodpecker pic.

 

[Thomas]

23F frosty low 40's for high rain later today,,standing water iced over.

Chores are done E muffin time. :licking:
Plans for today...put couple game cams in place around our fields other than that putter.

Enjoy the day all.

Good morning. It’s 37 here and sunny, but supposed to be raining hard by afternoon when The front comes through.

Drew, is your weather station on weather underground?

Still no progress on the son’s barometer project, maybe today when the the weather goes downhill. I ended up splitting wood with him yesterday, he had a couple substantial trees come down in the last storm, ironically just missing both his overhead wires and his generator.

I had the Surestart on the heat pump in my shop fail, the supplier sent me a replacement, no questions asked which was refreshing. Yesterday I installed the new one and tested it on generator power, it starts without any sag from the generator, which is great.

Ran the little wonder blower down the lane and back before lending It to a friend, looks like 98 percent of the leaves are off the trees, today’s cold front should raise that to 100.

I’m running out of excuses, so I guess I’ll have to get back to cleaning up today, unless my son stops by with the barometer.

Beautiful ... I can imagine she was pleased ... :thumbsup:



Thanks.

Checking the HD site from here, it shows 6-paks only ... but not available in the store or through ordering online ...

It almost sounds like the brand (Parks) was acquired by Rustoleum ... so maybe they are offering it under another brand ... :confused3:

I ran into that before, the HD site just showing a 6 pack... but singles on the shelf. Here is a link that I just pulled up from our local HD listing just a single. The price sure went up... last I paid was around $6.

Some up here say drizzle, that is what the TV weatherman says.
When we get snow, we've either got fine snow or heavy snow aka packing snow.

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! Low of 30, going up to 56. Dry, dry, and more dry in the forecast. At least the wind stopped. It was ripping all day.

Kyle, congrats on getting the Steiner running! What comes next on the rehab schedule?

Drew, very nice to hear that you you had a good nights sleep... seems that is hard to come by.... Did you start laying out any birdhouses yet? I hear that lumber calling you....

We say "it's spitting outside" also... an intermittent light rain... even less than a "drizzle". We very rarely have to use either term because it hardly rains here at all!

Randy, enjoy your 'anniversary ride' on the tractor!

There is a new shopping list already.... not sure if I will wait until mid week to give the stores a chance to restock.... the local news showed massive lines and empty shelves in multiple stores. We don't need anything of a critical nature, so probably wait to go.

Might start gluing up the next planks for the desk project, at least I am hoping to do so....

Everyone have a great day!

 

[daugen]

Drew, is your weather station on weather underground?
no, not yet

have it on shelf behind my recliner in living room

 

[wngsprd]

58 going to 68 and lots of wind and rain coming later...more than spittin', which we say for intermittent rain drops, often driven by wind.

LS, great job, and looks so good in the house.

Hey Steiner-Man, Congrats! Coco is doing better...thanks for good wishes. Hope your coffee is as good as wifey makes it.

Nice morning in the tree stand yesterday...red fox, red-breasted nuthatches and a dozen squirrels kept me company. Saw no deer, but heard enough far away shots and dogs running to know they are now aware what season it is. My game cam told me I should have been in the other tree stand if I wanted to see deer.

 

[sodamo]

68°F and .05 inches rain.

A good morning for watching football, then maybe work on my project.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

 

[sodamo]

Drew, drizzle was another level of intensity, relatively soft, steady, straight down, not wind driven.

Good luck with your buzy day.

 

[sodamo]

Great pic, Ron. Love the brilliant red.

 

[sodamo]

Randy, congrats on annivesary

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Wish it was "only spitting" here Sodamo, we say that too for light rain.

It was in England where I got funny looks for saying it was “spitting snow”, was a foreign term north of London.
