busy day.
Ran to wally world for some things, then Costco for 2 things and got out with only 5 things.
Was going to put new front brake pads on subaru (over 150K miles on them), but they still have a fair amount left, so kept them on.
Cleaned pellet stove.
Paid more bills and doing some more tax stuff.

Morning all;
Just finishing our breakfast here, fried up a pound of hot breakfast sausage into patties and made a egg, sausage, cheese on a English muffin sandwich for me and the same minus the sausage for my wife.
Using our new range, propane as compared to having used electric for going on 40 years, have always liked gas but just never bothered getting one and having a house plumbed for gas. Broke down and hired a plumber to run a gas line into the house and had him prep for more gas appliances in the future just in case. Ran a 1" hard pipe into the house with a 4 valve manifold with plugs in 3 valves and one coming up into the kitchen. Also left a T and valve outside for a line to a grill or whatever in the future.

Part of the driving force for this was also the governor of this nanny state wanting to do away with gas and oil heating and appliances.
Finished two cups of coffee and starting a third, later do a bit of picking up outside if the rain lets up. It has warmed up here the last couple of days and rained, over 3/4" last night and most of the snow has washed away, did have a bit of icing as it transitioned and a chance coming up as it turns cooler again after Saturday.
Need to go down to my Branson dealer today and pickup a cushion bolt for my door hinge to glass door, saw one missing the other day. Then likely stop at the Town Clerks office and pay the property taxes for this year.

Stay safe and healthy
How you liking your new doozie stove? I like your reason for buying it...


Buppies, hang in there. Praying for you.

We have good friends who's son has been battling cancer for years now. It came back, all over. Yesterday he had all day surgery, and during the surgery his heart stopped and they had to perform CPR to bring him back. They say he is bleeding as fast as they can give him blood. Not looking good for him.

Then I'm watching youtube videos of people having their bank accounts emptied by scammers, who after stealing peoples identity, convince the phone company they have "lost" their phone, and get a replacement SIM in a new phone (of the person who they stole the identity), and now have access to the 2FA texts to steal their money.

Thomas, you working too hard.
Got a couple things to run out for today. need to stop the pellet stove and clean it. I've burned close to a ton already this year.
Sad for your friend.

One thing that gets my goat, scammers taking advantage of elderly people.

and so it begins
pansies planted
big load of stuff coming in from Amazon today, seed trays, grow lights, etc
told my neighbor across the way not to think I was growing something illegal here
she just laughed
Drew, you'd better hope one of those mushrooms doesn't grow out of your compost. LOL.

Drinking hot coffee. 31° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 38° with fog and clouds. It started snowing about 6:00 am. Finished around 1:00 pm. 6" of very wet snow. Got tractor out and plowed my place and 3 other drives and walkways. County plowed road. Blocked all neighborhood drives. Cleared all those drives. One neighbor broke plow mounting bracket off his 4 wheeler. Helped him drill out broken bolts and tap out oversized mounting holes. Got back in house after 7:00 pm. Before snow stopped got house cleaned and laundry done. Today I plan put laundry away. Then do some conserve energy.
Hey, I already have this spot occupied.

36 going to 48.

Prayers for you friends' son, BEF.
We just have to verify and confirm everything nowadays. Take nothing at face value. Technology has really ramped up the abilities of scammers to take advantage.
What would be terrible is if the scammers figured out to hack into the brain-connected implant chip that Elon Musk's company implanted into someone recently. The future for this technology is promising for disabled folks.

Ron, you're a great neighbor. Interesting red-belly pose.

Taxes yesterday and again today. Did take a break and watch a cowboy movie, and to watch a female marsh hawk gliding back and forth a few feet above our field looking for prey...amazing how fast and sharp they can twist and turn.
