Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Good morning. I've travelled 80 miles east of where I live and I am shocked by how much everything in these parts looks like spring. All the plants must think winter has been cancelled. The roads are lined with Blackthorn in full blossom and Hawthorns are putting out bright green leaves.

Roy, that's tough. Hope it turns out to be something easy to fix, though I expect your wallet is going to be having a fretful day in the meantime.

No work on the wagon in the rain, but the more I research, the more I am inclined to skip the pedal idea and just use the controller by hand.

Kev, the Tekonsha controllers Ron suggested look a good price. Getting your wagon rolling (or not rolling, if the brakes work), in a simple way sounds attractive. If you later want to make it better, you can come up with a Mark 2 proportional pedal solution at a later stage. A mark 3 variant could even drop the pedal and be voice activated - "Whoa" for steady braking and whatever expletive you like for an emergency stop .

48 going up a few degrees today, overcast, some showers and a little rain tonight.
No plans for today, overdid it last two days so need to have a slow day today.
Then a stretch of nice weather through early next week.

I have shrubs starting to bud also. With four sixty degree days coming in the next week, I think all kinds of things will pop, and regret it...

A little rain coming down outside now, and temps dropping from our high earlier this morning to level off at about 40 for the day.

Was surprised temps hit 60 yesterday...49 was the forecasted high, and still over a foot of snow, but melting fast.

Brought another load of firewood in with the tractor yesterday...never driven through snow that deep before but the 4WD did the job. Ran the new generator a little more to break it in with a load. Boy is it loud.

Roads are reported to be clear now, and need to make a run into town today.

Kev, hope all is well with your trip to the doc.

35F now couple more degrees should be the high.
Guess one could call this our mini January thaw.

Enjoy the day all.

40 now and that's the high weekend looks nice high in 60s very mild for this time of year but by February 5th or so changes are afoot

Poured first cup of coffee. 51° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 69° with lots of bright sun. Shopping trip took longer than I planned. Today it's going to be a patio day with a couple of adult beverages.
Roy, hope your car gets fixed with minimum cost.
txdon, when using my gas pressure washer I use softened water. PW works better and leaves no spots that can eat into paint finish.
Kev T, good luck with doctor appointment.
Good Morning All.

31 this morning and headed to 38 today.

Going to put out hay before the ground thaws back out. Then off to dads to get the stock trailer. Have sheep to haul tomorrow. I think. Helping a friend get out of the sheep business. Then back to work on chicken coops today.

Roy did they eliminate a fuel filter problem frozen or otherwise. Never good when the mechanic is standing there scratching his head on your dime.

Kev. Good luck at doctor.

Good morning, 30F here heading to 34F. Had a light dusting of snow overnight. Neighbours all have snowmobiles around here but they have to leave town to use them. One neighbour went to Timmins, Ontario and the other went to Gaylord, Michigan.

Good Morning. 0815, overcast, 58F with 87% humidity. Forecast high of 61F with 50% chance of rain today, and a low of 49F tonight. It looks like we have a couple of days worth of showers coming in off the Gulf. A little cooler today also.

I'm doing house cleaning this morning. Already two loads into the laundry detail. I have pork chops and collards planned for supper. Maybe a pot of peas as well. If I get that done early enough, I will camp tonight.

Roy, it sounds like it might be the fuel filter. Hope it turns out to be something cheap and easy.

Kev, hope you get a clean BOH.

You guys have a good one,

Larro
