Morning all!
44 and raining. This will be the high temp for the day. Dropping to 30 tonight.

New ignitor has the pellet stove humming along. Easy to install once you know how. Only issue is being an insert type it has to be removed from the fire place. Quite heavy even with the proper removal tools. Records show it was last changed in 2019 so I should be good for a while.

A few more hours doing outside cleanup. Another 5 loads in the wheelbarrow. I need to replace this with a two wheel one if we stay here much longer.

Going to play in the shop today. I did get two projects finished up in the last couple days.
Cedar urn I made for a friend.

Another small box out of zebra wood:


Time for another coffee.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

always interesting to see how I/we are tracked by the bots and AI.
talked about this particular tire yesterday, today it shows up as a tire rack ad on this page.

Phil, beautiful urns. Takes good planning to have your own urn made ahead of time.
save the good burl for your own...

wind is making the woods play its song

42 and breezy, going to 60. Good rain yesterday afternoon.

BEF, are GRK screws special or just another brand of deck screw? I had not seen them before. I have always used just plain star drive deck screws.

Scotty, with all that for, are you sure the ferry didn't take you to London instead of Long Island? Enjoy your trip!

Buppies, real nice the deputy came by your place.

Split and stacked firewood yesterday, and did a little tractor maintenance.

Good Morning from Central Texas.

At 5:15am, 36.9 degrees headed for 76 today with more WIND. The last week or two the wind has been howling every day. We are getting desperate for some meaningful rainfall.
Plan *was* to head to Lake Somerville for some wade fishing. But with the current Norther, wind and cold I decided against it.
Hope all have a great day.

39 outside this AM, heading to upper 50's. Windy. Some storms blew through last evening, chased me away from splitting wood. It was all good as I was tuckered out anyways. Reached the point of 1/2 full in the "wood shed". Had to start the ZTR and move it to an outbuilding in the back. First start of the year for it. Grasses look to be almost ready to start cutting. Managed to get the tractor to the burn pile and move some stuff around. On the way back to the wood pile turned on the bush hog, just because. A nice swath of fresh cut grass was the result.

More splitting and stacking on the agenda. Rough estimate is just over 150 logs to split. Should be busy for some time.


Hope all have a great day and a good start to the weekend. Be safe.

Last two tires for truck $470 each discount tire like buying tractor trailer tires.

Listening to Michael Jackson this morning from my phone thru AV system. I really enjoy music everything from Frank Sinatra to Edwin Starr. Any personal mood I can cover long hair music included

Good morning, the low is 14 and going to a high of 37°F. Wind calm. 60% chance of rain showers or snow. We got 2" yesterday. Another 0.75" coming tonight and again tomorrow.
At least we didn't get what Timmins got, 14" and another 14 coming. Timmins is 4.5 hours north of me.

I am still waiting for a call from my accountant, so I wont stray too far from my phone. Ya, I know it is a cell phone and totally portable, but I have enough crap to carry with me without worrying about a telephone too. I do have to go to town today, but that will be a short trip.

I screen all my phone calls, but in the car the phone is on 'auto answer'. If you don't leave a voice mail you are guaranteed I will NOT call back.

You can pretty much be guaranteed that everything that can be bought in Canada that is made in the U.S. will be at least 25-50% more expensive. That is nothing new. This has been going on for 60 years that I know of. Example; A Chev car that is made totally in Oshawa, ON is 50% more expensive than that same car made in Oshawa and bought in Rochester, NY. Why not buy in Rochester and import it? Because you MUST own it for one year or more BEFORE you import it to Canada. In the meantime to buy in NY you gotta prove a NY address AND register the car in NY. If you use the excuse that you just moved to Canada then you have 3 months to safety the car AND register it in Canada. When you register it is when they will 'get' you, with the 'duty', which will end up being more that if you bought the dam thing in Oshawa.
When my grandparents came back up here their car was a part of 'personal effects'. It was six years old.
It was built totally in the 'states.

Time to get on with my day.

Have a safe day all
