Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

I hammered a 6 pt onto the oil drain to get it off.

Ordered a wrong bracket for a camera. Actually Amazon had wrong picture for it, I looked at picture and ordered. So got that reordered.
Got the camera set up. Hard part is running Ethernet cable thru the church attic. Gotta walk on trusses.

cold outside today

son in law came by to pick up my 1990 GMC Tracker, and load it on my flatdeck. he thinks he can get it running before Spring. Might sell the Tracker this year, as it turns out that i need a much newer vehicle anyway, an AWD suv something in the 10 yr old range. We used the tractor to load the Tracker, pulling it onto the flatdeck.

Since I had the tractor out already, i spent about 45 min beating up the iced over driveway wth the box blade. the temperature cooperated a bit so that i could chew up the ice. it's about -20 C tonight though. I hope to be back at church in the morning.

fed the chickens and dog early, so that i could stay inside and watch the Sat night Hockey games.

back to bookkeeping after the game

have a good night all.

To get inches from centimetres divide by 2.54. To continue into feet divide the first answer by 12

More snow coming tonight. Maybe.

Here too. Looking forward to it - more seat time!

 

[ronjhall]

Poured first cup of coffee. 26° with light snow this morning. Heading to 31° with snow accumulation less than a 1". 3" to 4" of snow forecast for yesterday never showed up. That was OK. Lowes had a Little Giant 22' ladder on sale. So a trip to there to pick it up was the only thing that got done yesterday. No plans for today. Maybe watch end of Rolex 24 hour at Daytona.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
73 going up to 79 today in Delray Beach
went out to a nice restaurant on intercoastal and unfortunately with a competing outdoor restaurant nearby and the bar noise, it was so loud on my ears I almost had to leave. Guess I really have to get some noise reducing earpods.

today we take the Mrs back to airport in W Palm and she flies home to run their coffee business. My childhood friend is pretty much retired, leaves business to wife who enjoys it.
And it provides for them very well and allows this expensive home in FL so they don't mind continuing to work into their 70's. She does most everything by phone anyway, can operate pretty well remotely here, with office mgr back home. Their business is finally starting to pick back up after covid. The whole work/office scene sure changed.

my friend has a GMC compact denali p/u with the small diesel. Seems kind of weak off the line but gets great mileage and there's no rush from one stoplight to the next here. I'll be doing the driving this week. One day want to go down to Ft Lauderdale and have lunch at 17th St. Fisheries restaurant, an old stomping ground of mine, with marvelous view of the harbor and boats going by.

I counted five new Corvettes in this gated community, 6 Maseratis, several RR Ghosts, every other car a BMW or MB. Lot of conspicuous consumption for sure...this is the land of see and be seen. And since Delray Beach is no Palm Beach, the car show gets even more intense in that area. Not uncommon to stop at light with a Rolls, Bentley or Ferrari next to you.

lounge chair on left is my spot, looking ahead to intercoastal about 500 feet up the "canal".

Good morning, the low temperature is 10 and the high to 16°F. Wind ENE 9 mph. Snow and it is snowing as I type. The guessers are saying only an inch, but judging by the radar, we will be getting a lot more than an inch.

Other than plowing snow, I have nothing to do so will conserve energy.

Nice wood pecker, Ron.

Have a safe day all

Someone will snatch that tracker right up - they are very popular here in Appalachia as trail vehicles and hunting trucks.

38, been warming all night so it can rain. Going to 52.

RNG, the boot...Salomon X Ultra 4 GTX...is one I found that fits my foot well and my type of hiking. It was the third pair of this same model, and 8th pair of Salomons I've owned...never a problem until this eyelet/hook pulled off. I didn't even know it had a 2 year warranty until checking into this problem. I didn't have to send the old ones back, which is a hassle, since I'm don't live near a shipping point, so I'm gonna rig up a fix on them to use for short hikes and general wear.

Don, felicidades!

RS, good luck building that cabinet...looks awesome.

Scaredy, that looks just like the 4Runner I used to have until it got rear ended at 366K miles. Nice look tractor set-up.
