It's around 5:30pm as I write this.
What a weather day.
Started around 40F and sunny.
Then it alternated sun and cloud.
Wind started to kick up before noon bringing in rain and 50+.
When the rain stopped the wind kept a cumin but it got warm, just a hair off 80F.
Then the rain came back. It was coming in sideways and I had to run around the house closing all the windows I had just recently opened.
Short but intense thunder storm. I'm sure it hit the big crane at the dry docks. Looking out the front window the lightening was blinding and the clap of thunder almost immediate.
Then it sunnied up again but a steady wind and the temperature has dropped steadily. We're down to 40+F headed for below freezing.
Today hitting aboot 80F and tomorrow we'll be lucky to crawl up to 40F.
Heard my first Killdeer this morning, Vultures keep circling their way north and saw a Bald Eagle.
The Baldy is probably one living in the Niagara Gorge.

60° and overcast, winds have picked up, rain on the way.
Warm temps the past couple of days really put a dent in the snow 👍.

Spent some time with the chainsaw cutting up limbs from the winter winds, also took down a couple small dead beeches. Felt good to be outside and actually accomplish something! Still to muddy to run the tractor to pickup anything but soon.

Happy St Patrick’s day tomorrow, no green beer here, wife (very Irish) says no respectable Irishman or woman would drink it lol.

Enjoy

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.5C and it's presently 18.1C, clear with a slight breeze. There was 11.0mm in the gauge @ 0900.

I have no idea what I'll get up to today... but at least I'm "on my pins", and that's a good thing.

That's about it, take care all.

router at church building failed, so no streaming today. Bought a new mesh system from Costco, and got it installed before evening service.

Had winds this afternoon, but little to no rain. Just got a storm warning, and just got .06" of rain, on a storm that just brushed by us.

Good morning TBN!!!
62 when I got up at 4. Should be about 70. I am glad I'm not the only one that felt it was cold yesterday. We seemed to have been spared most of the storms. Radar shows we are pretty much cleared for the day. Went North and South of us. Just a little rain and quite breezy but all done now.
Not a whole lot yesterday. Made a HF run to pick up a corded Sawzall.
Haven't tried it out. Maybe later today. First I will put some sand around the tank so we won't be in red mud to our knees. Going to bore a hole or 2 to get an idea of what I am working with for the tanks steel. I have been moving stuff to stage it for trips up and down the drive.

And the day isn't getting any longer and second cup is done.
Everyone have a great and safe day!!
I found the sawsall with good blade the perfect tool when cutting my shipping container. Fast and accurate.
Are you removing the complete ends or leaving some portion as reinforcement? Seems that might be a good way to as long as it doesn’t impede flow.

Found my gland removal tool only to learn the pins are different size. Pipe wrench worked. So both cylinders cleaned up, gland nut loosed and ready to pull rod and replace seals.
None of my hydraulic hoses leak, but the rubber coating over the steel hasn’t weathered well, brittle and cracked. Was thinking maybe I can wrap with rubber or silicone tape. Any thoughts? Initially was just gonna replace, but if not leaking, maybe not yet.

Scott, here is the Irish Dance from Houston to go along with your parade. Amazing!
"What a special thing. The boy from Texas winning the All-Ireland championship."
