Good morning!!!!

[LouNY]

has anyone else had problems logging on? I get part way and it keeps saying Can't Find That
and then in a few minutes it clears.

hope your Sunday is peaceful and relaxing.

I was getting that yesterday afternoon quite frequently.

That was some pellet/briquette maker posted earlier.

A whopping 4F here this morning, but it sure seem to invigorate the coal insert it had gotten the living room up to 77F. Cut the air down a bit and opened up all the bedroom wing doors then turned on the bathroom exhaust fans to distribute the heat a bit. Worked down to 74F and actually feeling a bit cool.

At one time we had considered making our own pellets for heat at 5 locations. Looked at a pto powered pellet maker and then a tub grinder to get the correct material size. We were thinking brush and garbage hay with a touch of used motor oil for a binder. But the time and costs started adding up quite rapidly.

Everyone stay healthy and warm.

As others have said and I agree, nice work!
This one reminds me of vanilla ice cream with hot fudge sauce stirred up, just needs whipped cream, nuts and a cherry.

64°F and no rain.

Time with Scag less than successful All I get are some weak coughs when sprayed with starter fluid. I can see gas coming thru the fuel filter. New plugs and new cools properly gapped. Battery note holding charge, contributing to my frustration. Been on the charger all night.

Did get to watch some football. Packers Forty niners exciting. Sophie cheering on the Packers me the Niners

Looking at another subdued day. Try the sag again and some more football.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I should have looked at my camera yesterday.

BEF -
Can you set the camera to alarm for "events", such as when the tractor leaves the barn?
Just knowing he's out you can watch for him to come back, and he still has his freedom.
/edit
My cameras had a setting to send notifications to my cell phone.

Good afternoon
It was 16° when I got up, it’s about 27 now, likely the high for the day. Clear and bright, winds are much lighter than yesterday.

Yesterday went over to airport and shoveled out in front of the hangar for the little plane. My daughter lives very close to the airport, so I went to her house and shoveled her out as well.
Did some more work on the layout for the in-law suite, getting closer, but still not there.

Just finished making meatloafs to freeze and cook later, one meal at a time.

Not sure what to do with the rest of the day, maybe take the little plane for a ride, maybe do some more clean up, or maybe just take the afternoon off.

Anode replacement is usually 4-5 years, but if you have any water issues should replace sooner. When you do a flush every year or so, what comes out?

Good Afternoon Ken,
I have not drained it out since initial install ! When I get back from vacation will drain it. On previous heaters I would get some orange colored water, we have high iron content at this location ! So it has been 1 1/2 years without being drained !

Just curious, also planning on getting an in expensive impact tool to get the old anode out ! Thoughts ?

Im really interested in how that works out.

Good morning! Low of 26°, heading to 43°, mostly cloudy. Had a few snow flurries pass by, looking for a few sprinkles of rain through this afternoon.

Drew, which IPhone do you have? I don't want to update the OS if it's gonna mess it up.....
I'll make sure I set the brakes on the trucks

Phil, nice work as usual! Wifey really likes the containers and the lighthouse. What wood are the containers made from?

Ken, I have used these anchors with great success! Never had one not hold well.

I, too, have worked in those conditions...

Scootr, we are about the same parallel, shove that rain our way!.....good that your getting some good amounts. Hopefully no flooding.

Kilroy, glad they worked out some of the program bugs. I'm sure it won't be too long before it gets messed up again.....
I got excited with the video of the pellet maker.... until I saw how much machining was involved....
Now, if I lived close to Paul or Kyle.... then different story....

I was perusing facebook marketplace last night and found a Craftsman garden tractor snowblower, for $300 bucks. It's about 10 miles away. I got very excited only to find that it won't fit on ours without major modifications to the mounts. Oh well

Not sure what I'll get into today. Maybe do some horizontal mining in the shop. Not too bad out there, but needs a bit of organizing.

Everyone have a great day!

Temp just got above freezing here. Overcast and predicted to go to 39F. Roads are clear.

Overall, not bad, for winter.

Those TBN log in error "cannot find page" or whatever messages are annoying. I usually close the page a couple times then on about the third try it works fine.

Granddaughter is coming over this afternoon but it will probably be too cold to spend much time outside with her. She loves being outside and active.

Prayers for the USA and hope everyone has a safe, warm, well fed Sunday!

Just back from sister's. Good visit! Cold out there!

Phil, nice work as usual! Wifey really likes the containers and the lighthouse. What wood are the containers made from?

Lidded box is Chestnut.
Dishes are Cedar and Maple.
Lighthouse is fire wood?
