Good morning!!!!

[Happy in NC]

Good morning TBN
18 this morning going to a sunny 45.
Been a very difficult few weeks. Went to Ohio for a couple of weeks to bury my son. FEMA was supposed to be here during that time so I had to reschedule. And the furnace decides to crap out when lows are in the teens. Another $500 down the tubes. I am ready for the new year!

Have a great and safe day!

Morning all, 35 going to 39 and sunny.
Dog got her shots, just a little bit poorer.
Wife made cookies.
Talked to Dad GF about finances. Did not go too bad.

Happy NC, hope 2025 is much better for you. Our thoughts are with you this holiday season.

Dec 7th, hope the kids of today never have to go through that.

Well,, tree today and finish the lights out front, wish it was warmer, but at least the sun is out!

Be well,

66°F and no rain

Have to slow cook my teriyaki chicken that has been marinating all night. Lunch is at 12 but will start arriving around 11.

Been nice being so dry last few days. Folks will be panicking soon, after all we only have 164.19 inches ytd.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

errands run, landlord's two sons came over, super nice guys,
and immediately approved the wood fence I wanted to install.

164 inches of rain is just plain amazing David
that's way more than Hawaii's average

The 10 Wettest States In The United States Of America​

Rank	State	Average yearly rainfall	Average monthly rainfall	Wettest Month
1	Hawaii	57.2	4.8	December
2	Louisiana	56.9	4.8	June
3	Mississippi	55.5	4.6	December
4	Alabama	55.3	4.7	March
5	Florida	53.7	4.5	August
6	Tennessee	51.6	4.1	July
7	Georgia	50.1	3.9	July
8	Arkansas	49.6	4.0	May
9	North Carolina	49.3	4.0	August
10	South Carolina	48.0	3.9	August

well of course that made me curious as to who was driest

• Nevada (Annual Precipitation: 9.56 inches)
• New Mexico (Annual Precipitation: 12.38 inches)
• Arizona (Annual Precipitation: 12.61 inches)
• Utah (Annual Precipitation: 13.57 inches)
• Montana (Annual Precipitation: 14.33 inches)
• Wyoming (Annual Precipitation: 14.39 inches)

I think one inch of rain every Wednesday night would be nice
with guaranteed nice weekends. And of course it must snow everywhere on
Christmas Eve.

Coffee has finished brewing. 27° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 37° with overcast skies. Not much happened around here yesterday. I did stay warm in the house all day. Need to change house water filters today. Also have deadbolt to install on cellar door. But that is on a outside door. May put off until a warmer day.
Still some leaves on tree limbs.


Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

speaking of water filter, my MIL's house water filter needs changed, as water flow is noticably low. FIL had plumbed it in with PVC pipe, and has PVC ball valves before and after, but I couldn't get them to turn, and wasn't going to risk breaking anything on thanksgiving morning, so I left it alone.
I don't have a whole house filter, but should.

Never forget.
Good breakfast with most of the crew, went to local place this time instead of over the mountain. This afternoon is party at neighbors house, so no work for me today, just eating.
37deg.

that reminds me, I need to change my filters also.

Ted is not doing well. His wife is very sick.
I thought I had his home address but don't so
will email him and ask for it, and confirm ok
if others sends his wife a card.

Sorry to hear that.

I made a tool out of 1/2” aluminum to open and close PVC valves. There are tools for PVC valves on Amazon. But they are kind of expensive.
