Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

Freezing drizzle is possible today.
Frizzle Rich?
I think here too.

Instapot on slow cook for a beef stew and now to start baking some muffins.

Good morning, the temperature is -10°F and going up to 5. Wind ENE 7 mph. Increasingly cloudiness.
Snow coming tonight.

We found a local place that makes English pork pies, I have to go and collect the two that we ordered. That is all that I am planning to do today.


Have a safe day all

-1 right now...high about 20 today...snow showers tonight...
Chores: Dump run, get diesel...also need to hit the bank for blank checks (or order a check book). Also, a quick stop at the auto parts store for some cold weather windshield wiper fluid and a bottle of Power Service.
When I get back, I want to try out that pump ((88) TERA PUMP 3RD GENERATION TRFA01 - Battery Powered Fuel Transfer Electric Pump - YouTube) one of you suggested. Tractor tank is half full, so 5 gallons ought to get it pretty close to topped off. If the 10 day forecast holds, there's going to be a lot of tractor work next week (Monday-Tuesday 10"; Thursday-Friday another 10 inches of snow)
Thomas, same forecast for Lebanon...

Time for some breakfast...

25°, which was the low, going to 27° is the forecast.

Wife left for a hair appointment. I got up early figuring she would give the little cat it’s medicine we have to shoot down it’s throat, but she’s gone already.

Not much on the agenda, maybe finish taxes.

pace yourself Roy, no slips. I think a lot of ice is headed our way, made a mess all the way across the country getting here.

An English pork pie. My, that sounds good.

Picked up a pair of these crampons:

a couple years ago...definitely a worthwhile purchase...
As far as pacing myself...the tractor will do most of the work, and the EGO snow blower will do the rest. If it appears to be too much for me, I'll hire my neighbor's son to do the work. He'll be raking the roof at minimum...

Good Morning!!!! 48F @ 5:00AM. Rain and wind early. Decreasing clouds with mostly sunny skies by afternoon. High 62F. Winds SSE at 20 to 30 mph, becoming NW and decreasing to 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 90%.
It's raining now, with about a quarter inch through the gauge so far. The more the merrier.

I watched Only The Brave the other night, Kyle. It's the story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, and the tragedy that befell them several years ago. Very well done, but sad. Hoping for a quick recovery for you and your son.

Welded 2" sections of bar stock into the too short bolts and got the railroad track ballast on the box blade yesterday. Reattached the hydraulic top link and for the first time enjoyed the luxury of on-the-fly adjustment of the cutting angle. Used it to gather up some gravel then run it over some rutting in the driveway. Cleaned up real nice and easy. Started cutting up the old receiver hitch to resize it for the new box blade. Probably work on that some more this afternoon.

Still haven't heard back from the guy with the gate connection. Might have to change directions on that one.


I'd rather have a lobotomy in front of me...:laughing:

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

forget the snow and ice, let's go boating!!

I was reading about those a couple of days ago, no price listed.

good morning all.
seems to be relatively warm here compared to Texas!
26 out now, about where it will stay all day, freezing rain and snow coming in after lunch, not
a lot of precipitation but should make for miserable driving.

Kyle, prayers for you and your family and may you have no symptoms.

will be baking muffins this morning, apple and blueberry mix.

hope you all have a nice weekend.
no slips and falls

welcome Michael/Yooper. Sorry about your windshield, particularly on such a nice truck.

Thank You
