34 going to 43, 60% chance of no snow.

Buppies, hoping you feel better today!

Ron, nice job on that stove. Our Eco-fan moves quite a bit of air when the stove is hot.

PJ, great story of your organ. Sorry you couldn't take it with you to the new place.

Got a good hike in yesterday, then took it easy.

Good morning! 38˚F heading to the mid 70s, partly cloudy, West wind turning to a South wind.

Yesterday was a sad day, little Gray2 died. He was the best cat and was with us for 16 years. We took him to mom's farm and buried him.
When he was no longer able to hunt the mice in the neighborhood the rattlesnake moved in and the neighbors were really missing him.
RIP Gray2.

My condolences...very difficult time when a family member, be they on two legs or four, is lost

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

Road trip to Baltimore and back went well. Only flipped off two drivers in Maryland for seriously cutting me off to where I slammed the brakes and looked in the rear view for incoming. The last guy seemed really bent on returning the bird as he brake checked me and a few others before trying to obtain light speed on an off ramp. After all that I settled down and realized I am part of the problem. Best to not slam on brakes anymore. LOL.

Got home to a nice warm house, wife had the wood stove all fired up. Ahhh.... she even moved some more split stuff around. Such a wonderful partner.

Did I mention the roads were all pre-treated for all this snow this AM? Yeah...dry as a bone outside here. I think the weather people backtracked on the storm late last night. Too late for the road crews. Supposed to be mid 70's by.... Saturday.

Not much on the agenda today. Still need to get the fence lines for the horses to stay in the front pasture reworked. Need to include an auto-waterer where they are now. T-Posts are me friend.

Need to look for a cat today, last night in the way back, I think a coyote or something might have ended the life of one of ours. It was not a nice noise for a few seconds. Yikes....

PJ, there is a certain coolness about you and your work on organs. That's some fascinating history on those instruments for sure.

Hope David with all the rain is staying dry.

Get well soon, Buppies.

Sorry about the cat, txdon. Seemed like quite a good one, Sincere condolences.

We are a big fan of Dupont's work in the medical field, especially the work they did on back issues. Now a days we frequent specialists in NY, who trained with some Docs, from Dupont. Pioneering work they have done. Quite a legacy.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

Good morning, low temp 13 high 23°F. Wind E 6 mph. Flurries.

So far there is an additional 2" on the deck from yesterday when I plowed.

Furnace oil came. 1.36/Litre = $5.15/US Gallon
This stuff is supposed to be tax free, but on the delivery slip there is 'carbon tax' $47.46 + 'HST' $69.36. I think we are getting 'hosed' I do know that IF I had a diesel car/truck I certainly would be putting this stuff in it. It is supposed to be tax free, yet see these two taxes tacked on.
Rant finished.

The tractor is plugged in and I will be plowing again when the snow stops or about 9 A.M.

We have a daily nurse coming (D-I-L) and I need to keep the driveway open for her. I know I have the vehicle (tractor) to pull her if she should get stuck, but I don't have any 'J' hooks to hook onto her control arms or rear axle. I am not a towing service, nor do I ever want to be.
Doctor (quack) is also coming this afternoon.

The Jeep needs to go to town for gas one day soon, maybe it will wait until next year. Only 23 days left in this year. That'll be three trips to the dump, should have enough gas to do that. I hope.

txdon, Gray 2 will be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for you.

Yes, the $64,000.oo question is, how do birds keep their feet warm in winter?

Have a safe day all
