Good morning, low temp 14 and high to 30°F. Wind ENE 11 mph. 30% chance of flurries.

One of the two kittens I got last winter is now 18 lbs and super vocal. Little bustard got me up at 2 A.M. Don't know why, all I know is he was howling something loud. He finally shut up after he had me wide awake, so a nap may be in the cards for this afternoon.

Had apple pie last night, they like theirs smothered in custard, I don't. But I am in the process of eating the custard for breakfast, cold. I think it is an abomination to smother good apple pie in custard. A slice of extra old cheese is okay.

Other than the nap this afternoon I have nothing on my plate.

Have a safe day all

Ours are on 'free feed'. There is always dry food available.
I think it was a messy litter box and he REALLY wanted to go out. Ain't gonna happen. Fishers in area.

48 outside this AM. Heading to lower 60's. Supposed to rain sometime today or later this week. I will believe that when I see it. The weather crew has been abnormally wrong these last few weeks for my area.

House is empty again, preparing for the next batch of people.

Managed to get the other houses water back on line late yesterday. As with any project around here, I managed to bleed a little. Sheesh my hands are just tore up working in tight places with sharp metal and hard plastics. Today, if I don't make a beer run, I need to get the main house plumbing fixed. Unfortunate one shower will require the entire compound to be shut off from water for a while. How is that for a single point of failure?

Hope all are getting good for the plans on New Year's eve and the New Year.

Be safe, get healthy to those ailing.

good morning all. Relatively warm, cloudy, rainy weather for awhile, until next Monday when winter cold returns. High of 49 today.

not much planned for today. Have a little project to finish making an outdoor thermometer/rain gauge for a friend. I didn't have small enough screws to
mount them, so now I do and will work on that today.

Doug, pretty sure none of us have an aviary. And we sure all like birds.
can you tell us about what you have planned?

woke up with sniffles again. Reading articles on telling difference between flu, cold and covid.
Think I might use the one test my brother gave me. Can't hurt.

Good Morning.
It’s 39 and sprinkling, going to 45 under cloudy skies.

Yesterday’s trip was uneventful, other than the high volume of traffic. Leaving Philadelphia, we were south of Baltimore before they let us climb to our cruising altitude where we go faster and burn less fuel. Fortunately, the weather was good. Quite the lineup leaving Palm beach as well, this was the view behind us, there was 6 or 7 in front of us.

We were in the turboprop, so they let us depart from an intersection, saving us some time, essentially jumping the line.

Today, starts with yesterdays breakfast with a friend postponed to today. Then I’ve got to move some hay and some other farm chores and more computer work.

48° at the farm. Rain thru the night.

Did get a drone flight in yesterday, my brother brought his and we were both flying at same time. Flight control at the back of his truck.

He flew his, identical to mine, much further away. Mine was giving “propellers spinning too fast” warning. He flew north over the old train tunnel, then SE over the “caves”, which is now a county park. When I was young I had a trap line up those hollers.

Neighbor built a new barn since our last visit, dad said an Amish crew.

These drone pics taken off the cache video in a dji directory, I didn’t download the videos to the phone, I’m out of space. The cache is lower resolution.

When dish sent an upgraded receiver for my dad’s, they didn’t include a remote either even though I asked. His remotes barely work.

Heading back over the mountains today.

Until reading mostly’s report, didn’t realize thread had been pruned behind where I had posted. The ferocious kitty is sometimes a tame little kitty and loves to come in for a visit.

that sure is pretty land Buckeye.
maybe that ferocious kitty just likes how your feet smell...

Good morning! 66˚F heading to the upper70s, foggy. A cool front is coming in this afternoon and will bring tomorrow's morning temps into the 50s and then Saturday a stronger cold front will bring the Sunday temps into the 20s.

I'm tractor netting on the knee machine, it a good machine to get the knee warmed up and start the day. A PT should be by sometimes but they usually only give me a few hours notice. I need to be discharged from home PT and the start outpatient PT Monday. The Dr. can only prescribe a weeks worth of pain medication and he has to do it himself directly to the pharmacy, one of the new federal rules because too much fraud and addiction was going on. Hopefully I got my last refill as I'm starting to use advil half of the time because it is compatible with the pain med. I had a little better sleep last night so I hope to tolerate the stretching pain more today. Got my knee angle measurement tool yesterday and I'll see if I can push the knee to 90˚.

Roy I hope your nausea is gone and you are feeling better.
Drew hope you get a negative covid test results. We have a lot of cedar fever going on around here. There are very long lines at the testing facility (2 hour wait) in Austin and 25% are testing positive for covid. I have no idea which variant strain is most prevalent around here, I see the feds reduced the omicron numbers significantly and the delta was still the primary variant during most of December. New cases are on the rise - 156 in the county yesterday. looks like it will be a while before we go back down to just double digits like it was when I had my surgery.
