Good morning!!!!

[Spike56]

Good morning. Up WAY TOO early here. 3am now, been up for an hour. Some tax prep early then multiple outdoor jobs. Weather is cooler after our recent front, but headed back to the 70's then 80's. Too much sun today, wish it would be cloudy.

Good morning, low temp 23 and the high to 36°F. Wind E 11 mph. Periods of snow. Snowing right now and we've got almost an inch.

Block heater turned on. If nothing else this place could use some cleanup.

Have a safe day all

Good evening all. 43ºF for the start, 2.7 inch in rain gauge, partly cloudy, windy. Wind backed off during day, sky cleared, and high temp was 62ºF. Putter to start day, Bike ride after lunch, Low water crossing open, 3-4 inch water over road at crossing. We went to dinner late, Subway out of the multigrain bread, Manulito's too long wait, so ordered take out from lodge.
Bill good luck with spacers. Hope dump and town run successful. Hope you get your snow.
Ron 11 inch snow, Sassy will not like. Glad Comcast back up and running.
Kilroy sorry about prying a no go. You had not mentions it so I suggested it. How hard to remove valve cover or whatever breather is mounted on?
Spike glad no hail or tornadoes. Never got to see an Aardvark, nice pic.
Billy hope inside day was good. I thought cleaning roaster was to only get the coffee taste of what you are roasting. I would think if you taste cleaning agents you did something wrong

Kilroy if fence wire does not last, aircraft safety wire should last.
Drew hope you beat the rain doing the errands.
Thomas hope snow does no interfere with date night.
Buppies sorry no sleep again, prayers sent.

If you look at the photo pop gadget posted, it shouldn’t be too hard to take off the valve cover. . . But first I’d have to pull all the tin

I am going with the fence wire simply because I have fences, but I don’t have an airplane we do live about 4 miles from the county airport, and pass it on our way to our woodlot - if the fence wire fails, I will stop in and see if I can cadge some from someone

Drinking hot coffee. 29° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 40° with partly cloudy skies. Got snow blade on tractor and filled bird feeders before snow started yesterday. Looks like we got 6" of very heavy snow overnight. Lots of drifts. Had some thunder and lightning. Went to let Sassy out this morning. Door on porch would not open. Had to open window next to door and shovel snow away from door. A 3' drift had built up to door. Will be plowing snow for a while today.

Everyone one stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly…).

Currently a dead-even 50F, moon is big and clear in the window

We had a good dose of heavy rain and wind yesterday, today and tomorrow should be nice and clear. Projects are Subaru exhaust heat shield, top of chicken waterers and feeders, head up to the woodlot and run some barbed wire along the fenceposts we put in last week, clean up, head to mom’s to finish installing stuff on her laptop (like Eeison Mail and Brave Browser) so she can send taxes to accountant, then go to concert tonight. Have to figure on eating somewhere in There, too. . .

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe restful blessed day!

yawn, yup, too early
rained all night, 1.07 on gauge, not as much as some of you got
Mostly you'll need all weather tires to get through those deep puddles...

43 going up to 50 today, should be a nice weekend as we try to dry out here.
My day will be testing the water system in rv, going to hook up outside water again and make sure
there are no plumbing leaks and the hot water heater works.

having problems with some plumbing leaks in house, Popgadget will come and help me with the PEX fittings as soon as a
water valve comes in; currently listed as "running late" by Amazon. That sometimes means they lost it....I have two others that will work, but
the one I'm waiting for has a little twirly drain knob on it, so I can make sure all the water is out of pipe.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B99178MZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I remember as a kid having the job of finding those
little drain knobs on the outside faucets. Often they were corroded shut. So currently when I turn on the outside water I get a nice leak in the basement which a bucket
remedies. I also have a rebuild kit for the outside faucet which thankfully was a brand name Woodford with parts available.
Am trying to make a nice list of quick to-do's when Paul comes to help. By the time I'm done thinking about it, he's fixed it....

Ron, careful in the snow, chuck a snowball for me please

45 going to 61 and windy. Rain stopped, moon's out here, too.

Great teamwork on that oil cap. Hope it joins the team, too.

Mostly, only kidding about the term clean coffee...no cleaner taste in what I'm drinking right now....although it is a term for natural/organic foods.

Got a nice hike in early yesterday to beat the rain...only got a few sprinkles before I finished. Worked on MIL's taxes, nearly complete, and watched some episodes of Carnival Row with my wife.

A lot of early risers this morning, woke up at 4 stayed in bed till 4;30 came out to the living room and sat in the recliner for half an hour,
said the heck with it, out to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee, enjoyed that while watching out the window at the snow falling,
Can't tell how much because of considerable drifting but I'd guess at 4-6" so far. Got on the computer and started the second cup of coffee
and it's almost gone now.

Good morning, 38 going to 49 today. No rain in forecast for the next week
I have been waiting for dry weather to get back to moving soil.

Looks like a good day for a walk with Cody

Was on the phone with AT&T help desk last night for the dropped calls. The problem was not repeated with AT&T on the phone. Half an hour later the problem was back.
