Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Bill, glad you had a good trip. I can't imagine driving 65mph on snowy anything. Seems the colder it gets the more grip?
I'm glad you aren't driving the Ice Road

Snow tires and all wheel drive and also 60 years of driving on snow. Familiarity breeds contempt. When I was a lot younger I used to blast across a lake I lived on at speeds up to 80 mph on a snow machine (Yamaha 433 GP) and shoot the cracks. In early spring when there was still lots of ice (+/- 2'), but the weather was warm I would take the hood off so the engine could get better and cooler air. Running at night with only the moon for lighting. Like I said, I was a lot younger and a lot wilder than now.

May Bird Rest In Peace. He has been missed for some time.

Good evening all. Motivation has proven most elusive. Front went through farther than expected so no 60's today. 54 for the start, foggy, light breeze. Light wind, partly cloudy sky, and high temp was at 12:01 AM at 63ºF, low temp was 47ºF mid morning and mid afternoon. Made coffee to start day, grief share, putter, was going into town but fighting diarrhea Dollar General had Imodium close by, and that did the trick. Stomach now shrunk, so might help with with weight loss.

Glad you are getting better mostly! Sounds like your spirits are up and you are looking for the silver lining! Full recovery soon!

Good morning all,
12° now
Today 02/05
Sunny. High 23F. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph.

Tonight 02/05
Clear to partly cloudy. Low 6F. Winds light and variable.

Apparently I missed posting yesterday, sometimes lately days just seem to disappear with no recollection! We are headed for some snow again tomorrow 3-6” and Saturday night into Sunday 5-8” at least the temps should be cold enough to keep it light and fluffy.

Not much planned for today a couple of errands this morning and then back to conserving energy.

Sad to read about Bird’s passing.
Ron, condolences on the loss of neighbor/friend

Enjoy your day everyone
Stay safe and healthy
Prayers for all

Coffee is done brewing. 12° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 26° with with some snow flurries. Got house cleaned yesterday. Took Mule out for a ride. Then topped it off gas. Did take Sassy for a short walk. It was short because she got cold. Grooming shortened her hair length. Need to check that all equipment is ready for possible ice storm tomorrow morning.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All

good morning all
slept well, looking forward to a quiet day.
weather alert posted for tonight, about an inch of snow and ice tomorrow.
I'm supposed to go visit my MIL in nursing home tomorrow, will just have to see how messy it is out there.
and another storm in the forecast, which will keep New England busy.

going to work on cleaning the house today.
within a period of two days, I managed to drop a third of a pound of ground coffee into my kitchen rug, then made it hugely
worse last night when pan of beef grease slid out of hands and right into rug. What a greasy mess...
need to break out carpet cleaner today and see if I can do the rug, otherwise have to get it professionally cleaned.
going to look carpet up on amazon, may be cheaper to buy another area rug. Having carpet in the kitchen is clearly not a good idea but I love the feeling
on my bare feet. But kitchen is right off entrance so carpet takes a hit despite numerous shoe mats. Well, it lasted three years, will see if Bissell cleaner
will save it.

34 outside right now, heading to upper 30's. Seems an ice storm is coming tonight. Will have to watch the weather more closely.

Indoor day, more chase downs for estates, heat pump looks to have died in other house. Sigh....expected, over 22 years old. It appears I have returned to the maintenance and replace cycle of home ownership.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

I did a search to find when Bird told us he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
It was in April of 2021. I enjoyed all his post while looking for this one.
