Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

We had a son in coma from OD for two weeks. Very difficult
He called wife last night talking about fentanyl and under the influence
Not knowing where he is and feeling very helpless wife is devastated. She did not get much sleep but sleeping now

Introduced wife to shooting back when we lived in Mohave and she loved the 22 pistol and was able to keep a can moving shot after shot

Fentanyl is of the devil. Hope your wife's talk reached deep in him. Change will have to come from within him, but outside influence plays a huge part.
So much of that drug is coming across the porous border on human mule teams.
Drew, sorry about the young man you lost in your life.

Good Morning Guys,
Ct, 24 to start going to 38 ! Lots of ice out there, but with the sun and some warmer temps this afternoon I hope to get rid of it ! Walked the DW carefully this morning to grab our paper !

Kyle, your daughter is not only a Great marksman but a very attractive young lady ! Congrats to her on that fine looking buck ! I also am a Remington 1100 guy ! Shot skeet for many years ! I used to own my own reloaders but I sold them when I wasn’t shooting anymore !

Mostly, prayers to you and family !
Wagtail, ditto to you and your family !
Helo, I can picture your dog with the medicinal whiskey drum around his neck rescuing me from the cold !

Hope Al have a great day !

Thank you Scott and LS125 for the kind comments.
My former roommate would load a 5 gallon bucket of skeet shells. It is easier to clean an over/under, he had a ruger red label. But I've shot 3 birds with 3 shots and he hasn't. RNG, that loader might be a good one.

Good Morning
36° and going to 40 under a cloudless sky.

Yesterday, I got the finish on the speaker, the driveway plowed and the walks shoveled. But not much else. I felt lousy and had chills. I didn’t stop to take my temperature until I was done, because I had a good idea what the result would be. Pretty much 101 all day and through the night. The fever has broken, but now my nose is running like a cheap faucet. Negative COVID. I was supposed to go to Florida today, but I took the day off.
I’ll probably go over to the shop and see if I can finish up the speaker, but no other plans.

Get better soon. Whatever I had/have, I did spend 2 days couch potato, if I had fever, it was so low I couldn't tell it. I'm still hacking and coughing too BEF.

I think one of the worst tortures is to be stuck in a power point presentation with lots of text, that you've been sent out ahead of time to review,
and then the presenter goes over every single word, again. Truly some folks like hearing themselves talk...

And some didn't bother to open the file and read it prior to the meeting...

Happy hour sounds good Sodamo. A nice frosty barley pop! Seems like the women are kicking the men's rear at cards too often. I understand you have "to give to get"... Keep the wifey happy.

Prayers for our team, especially those with complications and for their medical staff to properly diagnose them. Prayers for our country, Ukraine and Israel.

Hello, good morning !

That big cold is over. Only -3 C = 26 F. That's how perspective works. At beginning of autumn anything negative on gauge is like drama. Now, after we have got -30 lokking on -3 C, hohoho, it's warm

No big plans for today. Something in office, but mainly will be taxidriver for kids. Have to bring one boy to dentist, later will pick them all from school, at evening - training

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Talked to son again.
Wife was happy he was ok. She had a long talk with him about what to do
.

Man, that's something you have to go trough... Sorry for you.
Stay strong

We tend to think of our happy hour group as our island family. Actually very little drinking. I had 2 beers this afternoon, as did a couple of the other guys, most of the wives hardly drink at home gatherings, maybe a wine for some, and several people don’t drink alcohol at all, but we ALL eat quite well.
Today was exceptional. One of the wives is Indian and took the time today to give an explanation of the various dishes and what they pair with. I didn’t try anything I didn’t like.
When we meet at restaurants we do so during Happy Hours to keep costs in check.

14° now, highs around 35° and cloudy with East winds 5-10 mph today. This evening starts with snow, changes to rain, winds ESE 20-30 mph gusts 40+ should prove interesting.

Yesterdays snow cleanup went well, perfect snow for snowblower, did 90% of driveway with the walk behind. I did use the tractor to clean up the windrow at the end of the driveway and pushed back the banks so tomorrow’s rain has someplace to drain to.

The plan for today is roof rake the snow off the oldest garden shed before the rain tonight/tomorrow, top off fuel in tractor and snowblower and run generator for a bit. Then feet up for the rest of the day.

Hope those dealing with the crud going around again get better
Prayers for all
Stay safe

Drinking first cup of coffee. 32° with light snow this morning. Heading to 41° with rain and wind. Put snow plow on tractor yesterday. Did some paint touchup on newer tractor. Got into recliner ready to watch Michigan Washington game on TV about 6:30. Woke up at midnight. Game over. Good News is Michigan won the Championship. Not sure what I will get into today. There is always shop and barn cleanup.

Sorry to hear all the sickness going around. Prayers for all to recover soon.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

 

[daugen]

good morning all
quiet morning before weather tanks with big storm coming up the coast for next two days
going to do some food shopping early this morning, then return to a good book during the rain.
temps are constantly rising, 58 at midnight tonight, will melt all the snow.

Mostly glad you are home.

 

[riptides]

31 outside right now, heading to mid 50's. Buckets of rain expected any minute, continuing throughout the day.

Better than snow, I guess.

Brought Dad home last night before he heads off to Arlington, sometime later this year.

Final farm tour.

Laptop decide to crash, windows unrecoverable. Bad hard drive...wow. Have not seen that in a long while.
Ordered new laptop, booted a Linux Mint image to get around the issue. Started recovery of anything and everything....

Sigh.....try getting into your browser password store, externally. LOL. Hint, it's encrypted with a Windows machine ID.
Guess I need to rethink using browser sync services. Or post-it note pads. Think I will stick with the local option.

Hope all fair well in the storm moving in and up the country......

 

[Thomas]

13F partly cloudy low 30's for high.
Nasty storm arriving around 5pm 4-6 inches changing to rain,trees will be a rocking 40-50+ winds at times guess I should have held off burning those piles,might be wise purchase least 5 gallon gas for generator.

Plans for today...8 hours part store not sure what afterwards.

Enjoy your day all.
