Good morning!!!!

[newbury]

Good Morning!!!! 49F @ 6:30AM. Cloudy early, then off and on rain showers for the afternoon. High 63F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 40%.

While packing up the desk, David, I came across at least five boxes containing successive versions of MacOS releases, and an entire drawer full of empty CD/DVD crystals. All of it and more went into the trash. I didn't sort through all the CDs of application software distributions, but I will when I pull it out of the box before it goes back into the desk.

Is/was the Pileated Woodpecker on the endangered species list, Ron? I remember my mom getting very excited when she spotted one when I was a kid, as up until then she'd only heard of, but never seen one.

I'm in the same boat, Ron. All I've come up so far was a paper list of account numbers and login info in a safe, and just the combo to the safe in a plain white sealed envelope entrusted to the executor of the estate. But the thought of that envelope falling into the wrong hands keeps me from doing it.

Gosh, Billy, you could buy a brand new F350 or Tesla for the price of one of those Gibsons!

Met two more of the neighbors yesterday, and learned from a third that what I'm calling the bonus room, that is now divided into a 10'x10' office and a 10'x20' storage room, was once one continuous room, and part of the garage. And there was a garage door on the back side that opened onto the back porch. That would have been much preferred to the current arrangement, and now I'm wondering how much trouble it would be to put it back to the way it was.

Got the van and trailer unloaded yesterday, and now have a ton (maybe literally) of boxes stacked in various places waiting to be unpacked. Also got all the pieces to the desk put back together, and they barely fit in the much smaller room here. In the worst case, a wide file cabinet has to be angled away from the wall so the drawers will miss the desk when they are opened. And I'll need to cut a piece of 3/4" plywood to cover that cabinet so I can stack two other 2 drawer file cabinets on top. Small price to pay to have the office right next to the garage, as it'll save a LOT of running back and forth.

I don't feel like I pulled any muscles yesterday, but my whole body is sore today. No rest for the weary, though.

TGIF gang!

Going to be a pain to shut that door.

Good morning! Low of 19°, heading to a high of 46°. Sunny and light breezes at 5 mph. Gonna be a nice day!

Scott, close enough to start the vacation countdown..... Ahhhhh, relaxing on the beach....
Got a spare large suitcase for me to hide in?

Check, Jasper is your Airedale pup right? If so, I thought he really enjoyed the snow? Where's he at?

Wng, nice pics from the trail. Does anyone take advantage of the whitewater in that area?

RNG, sounds like you had a successful day!
My guess is that the room would go back to original very easily. More than likely they just "filled in" the openings, not changing anything structural.

The shoulder / neck isn't too bad this morning. Much better than last night... So far, not really any pain unless I turn / move to "full" range. Just going to be careful as to not aggravate again.

The wifey makes "rice bags" to be used as heat packs. You microwave them for 2 minutes, nice warm heat that lasts about 15 minutes. They contour to the body and provides good relief.
2 of 'em got a good workout last evening.

Everyone have a great day!

Coffee cup is full of hot coffee. 15° with snow shower this morning. Heading to 19° with light snow. Did get cans of diesel moved to pole barn. While I had tractor out did some snow pile clean up. Will do a little more cleanup today.
Suet cakes do not last long when this wood pecker is around.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

Wow, Ron, he's a horse!

RNG, can you re-hang that door to swing out and still hinge it off the wall side?

Ted, glad you are feeling better.
Buppies, hope you are too

got so bored I decided a nice drive in the snow would do, up to the DMV
in Dublin, about half an hour from here to get my renewal photo license. Last week I tried and they
were mobbed so I just left.
Figured like Popgadget today might be a light day.
checked in, assigned a number, and then a ding saying my number was ready.
not bad.
In and out in 8 minutes.

about two inches of soft fluffy snow now, I think we will get at least four looking at the current radar.
More to come...
I shoveled a path for the Amazon guy, my cd player is coming today, I hope (correction, they just emailed tomorrow)

66°F and 0 rain

Semi productive day yesterday. Highlight being the guy’s bear the gals at H&F. A back and forth game.

Initially was going into town today for Fridays Follies but enough in freezer we really don’t need to.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

and as we get closer to 80 we need to start cleaning out the proverbial barn

We have been trying to get that barn cleaned for several years already. It's not an easy task so anyone is wise to start early.

My oldest son recently told me that it's already weighing heavily on him about how to dispose of the things his Mom has accumulated. He had just finished helping her clean out the upper floor of one building.

Top task on my list today is getting an issue resolved with a utility construction company that got way outside the ROW on a place I own and broke the sewer connection off under ground, parked equipment all over the lot, rutted up the ground, broke a cement apron driving a mini-ex over it and several other things. After going all the way up to the owner of the company I am getting resolution. It's a small thing in the overall scheme of everything going on but I've kinda had it with these utility construction crews and the way they will abuse a property if they think no one is watching. [Rant off]

Hope everyone has a great and productive day and stays warm, dry and well fed!

Getting there, very slowly, will be a while before tractor time.
Dog is loving it though.
