Good morning!!!!

[scott_vt]

Good Evening Guys,
Sorry for the quick check in this morning, but kind of a busy day !

Buppies, prayers for your wife, and Frits also for your wife, getting well soon !

Ken, you have to remember that Drew has that E-Bike now, so maybe he could use that instead of a lot of walking !

Hope all have a good evening !

I haven’t used speakers on a pc in years, except built in speakers on laptop. No pics of my messy desk, and the unused speakers behind the monitor. My desk is a small, very old oak kitchen table my parents had many years ago. In HS I used it as my study desk, and soldering table. I soldered my initials on it in HS.

Good evening! Low was 18°, hit a high of 48° today, sunny. That's going to change tonight when the snow moves in.... 5-8" predicted throughout tomorrow.

Then more snow Sat, Sun, and Monday. No prediction on amounts for that storm front, but so far the guessers are saying it will be a 'stronger' storm.

Got the edgetamers on the tractor bucket..... I'm anticipating needing to do a lot of plowing.....

Shop motivation is still MIA.... but, that may be a good thing. Emotional support for the MIL and wifey has been in the forefront... especially today. They are both really upset after seeing my BIL in person. I think he is trying to 'soften' his condition by not telling the full report to his mom and sisters.

Mostly, yes, he finally made it home around 19:00 last night. The 2.5 hour flight turned into 12 hours. He said the delays were ok, just sat and watched the world go by....
He got another chemo treatment today, PET scan in 2 weeks.

Sure makes one have some deep thinking.......

Kilroy, the wifey has pans and a few utensils from her Babcia, I have a few tools from my Dziadek, including 2 very old hand planes. All on display at this time, not in use.

Buppies, extra prayers for you and the Mrs. Take care.

Fritz, hope your wife can get some relief. My wifey does a cocktail of 500 mg Tylenol and 600 mg Ibuprofen. Seems to work better for her than just one or the other. Surprisingly, methotrexate upsets her GI tract a lot more than the other. She only takes it when "really bad"......

Everyone take care, have a great night!

Great news is, that finally I have got electricians in my new office ! They are making some noise, but that's good thing


Yeah, you are right. Designer is danish guy

Man, I have googled Wegner. Prices are
"best" I have seen - 10k for set of 2 chairs, like 50 y. old, with lot of wear. LOL I wouldn't put them in my home even for free

~~~~~~~~

As anything big happens, let's discuss chairs a bit more
Friend of mine is making those

Check his web: MINT FURNITURE

Not so comfy, but IMHO cool looking and incredible light - only 4,5 kg / 10 lbs . And still very strong. I have 8 of them in my home for 7 years. Not a single problem.
And check thickness of seat / back

They don’t look comfortable.

Cooper's was a great meal.

Prayers for Mrs Buppies and Buppies! Get well soon!

Coffee has just started brewing. 23° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 28° with cloudy skies this morning. Not much got done yesterday. After grocery shopping this morning. Will get out to shop and find something to do.

Two_Bit, not sure what I had at Coopers. All I remember is it was good. Went there several times.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

 

[Helogabals]

They don’t look comfortable.

You are right, they are not comfy ones. Such style would be good for cafe. Make better turnaround

Car storage has upscaled a lot with car elevators and parking next to the condo.

https://edition.cnn.com/style/gil-dezer-billionaire-cars/index.html

Remember when D was stationed in Stuttgart Germany she had an car elevator to get up to a parking level in the building and she was complaining about how tight it was and the small parking spaces. In the picture her car was the one in the middle.

This meme:
(P.S. - I don't agree what that dude is proposing)


To be frank, I am more car-centric guy. In EU now is big push away from cars, use cities for people, etc. It's just not mine

Helo, I have 5 of those Wegner chairs in storage. They are about 50 years old and in almost new condition.

From what I have seen in those "internet flea-markets" - you are rich man
Just not sure - are customers buying too, or there are only those crazy offers


~~~~~~~~~~~~
Other than that - no big changes changes. Still rather windy and cold - 15... 16 C. Was walking with dog yesterday, didn't met a single person Seems people are not so enthusiastic about longer walks anymore. Can't say the same about my (crazy) dog. He is not ready to give-up a walk just because cold

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wish good health for all TBN crew members and their better halves !

 

[NHBX]

31° now, highs around 40°, am clouds pm sun, winds WNW 10-20 mph.

A trip for groceries this morning then need to return cable boxes I didn’t get done yesterday. Top off fuel in tractor and refill that can if needed. That’s about it for today.

Prayers for everyone to get and stay healthy

 

[Thomas]

30F cloudy couple more degrees should be high for today.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...8 hours at part store than see what the rest of the day offers.

Enjoy your day all.

 

[Buppies]

35 this morning high of 40 breezy slop storm still on for us Saturday then big rain storm next Tuesday

Prayers for all ailing m7040 wife, LS BIL, others I miss. M7040 new diabetes doctor first of February sugar level this morning 130 now if I can keep it there. Thanks for all of your prayers

 

[KilroyJC]

Good Morning!

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

32.2 F going into 40s, partly sunny day forecasted.

stull need to catch up on GM posts, behind two days now, still trying to get into the groove of working 9-5 again, until retraining is over and actual work resumes, when there is a more flexible schedule. Considering that there are no “live” jobs and that retraining is all computer driven at your own pace, AND the office opens at 7am and closes at 8pm, new management’s demand for clock p-in/out times to be “on the hour” are ridiculous and unnecessary — instead of being able to clock in at 8:47am and clock out at 4:47 we had to wait until 9 and clock out at 5, so I sat in my chair and spun in circles for ten minutes instead of progressing in training, and dogs had to wait an extra 13 minutes before they could go out and pee…

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

 

[scott_vt]

Good Morning Guys,
Ct,22 to start going to 40, with light snow falling now ! Sounds like more significant storm coming in on Saturday evening and going into Sunday!

Will recheck snow blower later today again !

e. I soldered my initials on it in HS

Dennis, that pretty much makes it your table !

Kilroy, those clocking in rules sound kind of arcane ! Waste of time IMO ! As a modelmaker at Pitney Bowes we did not have to clock in, so for all the years I worked there I enjoyed that luxury !

Kathleen started removing Christmas decorations yesterday! I
Think I will at least remove the outside lights on the bushes at our front door before the bigger storm arrives !

Hope all have a blessed and safe day !

 

[RedNeckGeek]

Good Morning!!!! 46F @ 4:30AM. Some clouds this morning will give way to generally sunny skies for the afternoon. High around 60F. Winds N at 10 to 20 mph.
Looks like there's a Fog Advisory on I5 for a short section east of the San Francisco Bay Area this morning, but it should be burned off by the time I get there this afternoon.

Sorry you're getting the Napoleon treatment by management, KJC. Obviously they don't have anything better to do than be a PITA.

Got three more hanging shelves installed in the garage yesterday, and that's probably all there's room for. Still have five left over and not sure what they'll get repurposed into, but they're out of the way on the back porch for now.

I measured yesterday and it looks like I'll need a full 100' of jetter hose to get the patio drain open. Haven't decided on renting or buying yet.

Van is mostly packed for the trip north today, but still have a few things to load. Mostly tools, but there's also a cooler for snacks and perishables I use daily.

Gonna take a while to get the home up north back up to temperature; the thermostat is down to 58F this morning.

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'.

 

[kenmbz]

Morning all, 32 going up to 43 and very cloudy.
Got nothing done yesterday except day job, haircut and a little food shopping.
Family all have colds.

Scott, not sure they allow e-bikes in the Zoo. But it would be fun, for a while.....

Hope all feel better soon.

 

[daugen]

all cleaned up and presentable for visit to landlady's home for brunch.
I'm guessing she is making Swedish pancakes again.
bought a little house plant to take and will take my laptop to show pics
of my last two rv trips.

somewhere in the conversation I'm going to mention my need to improve the water here;
my small triple filter setup just isn't cutting it.
when I made ice from tap water recently (before I changed the filters)
when I broke the ice out of the tray, bottom of entire tray was brown. yuk.
threw that ice out and found some gallons of spring water and filled them with that.

maybe after that I'll ask for a man door in the garage.
And then a new washer and dryer
and some new blown in insulation
might not get invited back for pancakes...

 

[Looking4new]

Sorry you're getting the Napoleon treatment by management, KJC. Obviously they don't have anything better to do than be a PITA.

That is management most of the time.

I am up late this morning, low temp is 3 and the high to 14°F. Wind N 13 mph. 40% chance of flurries.

We got about 3" from the dusting yesterday. Sometime around 10 or 11 I will go out and plow.

RNG, drive safe.

Have a safe day all

 

[wngsprd]

37 mostly cloudy going to 47 and windy. Looks like our chance of snow Saturday has turned into a chance of ice.

Mostly, stove weighs 2.6 oz and fuel canister is 7.5 oz when full. so, about 10 oz. So, fun to take on day hikes...it's the water that weighs so much to make tea or coffee, and to rehydrate meals. So, we usually just eat nuts, apples, Babybels and maybe jerky. But when it's below freezing, a warmup meal or beverage is perfect.

Prayers said for you two, Buppies. Glad sugar is better.

Hope your wife improves soon, m70.

Scott, looks like you'll get your Christmas decorations down before we will. My wife is set on keeping them up until after our family Christmas get together, in another week...had to cancel it on Christmas weekend because she was sick. Kinda fun to turn on the Christmas tree lights each morning when I get up, and watch the outside lights burn bright when I was coming up the hill on the tractor last evening.

Took my wife to get Moh's surgery yesterday at 7:30. They start early. Good doctor, finished the procedure on the first go. Then did our first Costco run of the year. They had Mobil 1 oil at $10 off a box...glad to see they had 0W20, my grade, for the first time...they enlarged the store recently and carry more variety.

Then a Tex-Mex lunch and home to unload and then go into the woods to cut firewood. The rounds were so heavy, I had to hand split them into thirds to load them into my tractor carry box. Today, will try to finish them on the splitter.

Can not understand that mentality. I would so not fit in there
