Going to take some rubber wheel chocks and set them by front tires
really don't want car grill impaled by pressure washer

hooked up a birdbath heater yesterday, will be interesting to see if it kept ice out at these temps.

Phil, your skills and creativity are wonderful.

Good Morning,
Ct,18 to start going to 38, which is doubtful IMO ! We got some frozen precipitation last night, first sleet then a bit of snow !

Work today, I better bundle up !

Drew do you keep your snowman inflated 24-7?

Well Don, you asked Drew but since I have a snowman I will answer ! No, only from dusk to 10 pm !

Kathleen is having some lower back pain, we have been using Voltaren and a heating pad ! Hopefully nothing serious!
We’ll need to get going here, maybe a couple of scrambled eggs and then off to work ! Hope all have a good day !

good morning, 21 going to 39 and with high wind advisory. Felt really cold walking Cody this morning and that wind goes through everything. Getting back the warm clothes, Fjaalraven down jacket, Ororo heated west, etc all to keep up the 8000 step goal which I managed to do yesterday

Infusion for wife went well yesterday. Hope she will get some relief in the next few days after it goes to work

19 outside this AM, heading to lower 40's. Dry here.

Nothing on the agenda pressing. Spent most of yesterday hanging the scalping frame for the bathroom barn door. No drill bits were broken. No more blood drawn. Seemed like a win. The door itself needs painting, and the walls need touch up. Kind of cold for the door since it is an outside paint project. Hope the sun comes out and warms it up a few degrees. Looks cloudy though.

We get buzzed quite often here. We are on the edge of western Quantico. The largest undisturbed "green space" remaining in this area. Particularly disturbing are the large ordnance drops in foggy conditions. We also get the DC National Guard flyovers at Mach speeds. Close enough to see their weapons mounts. We have only lodged two complaints over the years. Both were large explosions that really rattled the bones. The USMC maintains a web site for both schedules and complaints. It's all part of living next to a base though. We are also super close to the Dulles exclusion zone. So we get to witness take-off and landing patterns on occasion. The night landings are impressive as you can observe the multiples of aircraft on the horizons all stacked up waiting their turn in the flight paths to land. Sometimes they look like UFO's hanging in the sky when their landing lights come on.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

I sport a beard, it is scissors and disposable razors for me. I ditched the straight edge a while back. Never had anything electric that worked for me. I keep it short, too.

Good Morning,
I have been using Harry’s razors for a couple of years, they last a long time for me. I don’t have a very coarse beard, that’s probably why ! I don’t shave every day either !

We are in the landing path for Dulles as well for the planes coming in from Europe. They change pattern at times and come in really low even though we are 50 or 60 miles out from Dulles. Also we often have the air traffic to Camp David right above us, some of the rotating wing ones are really load as well as the large helicopters. Also in line for emergency flights to the nearby trauma center
