Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Drinking first cup of coffee. 23° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 33° with some sun. Got Christmas Tree up. Rest of the day was spent conserving energy. Have a couple small projects in shop today.
Garden Pond Aerator made this design in ice.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
mighty cold out, 20 going up to 40 in sunshine today

am off around 9:30am to take rv down to winter parking spot.
Need to wait til after rush hour traffic, friend is picking me up at 11am.

got email last night from neighbor saying the lights were no longer spinning inside my giant snowman outside.
lights still on, but not spinning. She lays in bed and watches it across the street, guess I'd better go investigate this morning.

I wonder if Popgadget knows how to fix snowmen?
Ted is doing ok, dealing with a lot of bad news and life changing realities. Lots of prayers for his lovely wife.

23 shooting for 40.

Nice ice, Ron...always fun to see the designs in the bird baths after a windy freeze.

BEF, where's that working mill/water wheel?

Completed all of our outside decorating yesterday in the cold wind, but that made it feel like winter. But first removed all the pumpkins my wife used for autumn decorating...so many that it required the use of the FEL bucket...and since I was bringing in a load of firewood anyway, tractor got a pretty good workout.

good morning, 22 going to 37 very cold for this area

Leaving this morning for Cardio check ups for wife and myself. Lab work already done

Picking up groceries on the way back

Shopped at HF yesterday and found a few things I could use among those the dog eared hose clamps I was missing and larger flip out ICON work light. Can never have too much light in the shop when working in tight places

Good Morning,
Ct, 19 to start going to 38, supposedly! Kathleen is going shopping with a couple of her girl friends today ! So far the only responsibility I have is to install the 4 ft snowman outside our front door ! Hopefully that’s all !

Looks like I may work Wednesday, some light snow coming on Wednesday night into Thursday!

Before we left for Vermont on Friday I noticed the lower radiator hose on my Ford Model A was leaking when I ran the engine for a few minutes, I may get in and replace that if it warms up enough !

Hope all have a good start to their week!

22 outside this AM, heading to mid 40's.

Still a lot to do stuff on the list in the Milk House. Kind of cold for painting in the barn so I will have to rearrange stuff in the MH to get the bathroom door in there to paint. Managed to get the kitchen counter tile cut yesterday. I think I got more water on me than the tile due to the wind. It ate up a good portion of the day, and day light just doing that. Just need to set it in place now. Getting the equipment setup and tore down I lost some more time. Day light is a premium now.

The wood stove got used again last night. Nice and toasty took the chill right out of me. Still need to get into the back forty while it is dry and recover some some candidates. It is on the list.

Not much else going on, the end of the storm I guess. It would be nice to have the Milk House finished this week. It has been a long project, interesting, fun at times, frustrating....but way too long.

I hope all have a good start tot he work week. Be safe.

We were above average temperature wise for so long that it's hard to get used to reality.
26 now at aboot 8AM rocketing to low/mid 30s today.
No precip. so we're good that way. Sun cloud mix.
I had been delaying a number of jobs because...
1) I'm lazy
2) It seemed like the warmer weather wouldn't end.
3) I'm a master procrastinator
Now I'll have to do some things in the cold.
I deserve it.
Best wishes to all needing them.
Santa is watching, be good... or bad if that's more fun.
The old SOB doesn't scare me anymore.

Good morning! 36˚F heading to the mid 60s, sunny skies , N wind.
Prayers for Dona and LS during this difficult time.

Christmas decorations and outside lights are up. Only a 3 foot ladder was needed, hedges are full of lights instead of the dangerous roofline.

Ron, your pond looks like a crater.

I saw a giant 20' Snowman at the AT HOME store and thought of Drew. It was huge! But I cannot compete with Drew. Our community does not allow plastic blow up figures and that's ok with me, saved $200.
