Good morning!!!!

[LouNY]

Poured first cup of coffee. 8ｰ with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 18ｰ with cloudy skies. 27ｰ warmer from yesterdays low. Almost like winter. Added intake pipe rework on my to do list. Going to have to get a lot warmer and about a foot of snow to melt off roof before that will happen. Furnace is currently using inside house air for combustion. A little noisy but works OK.
When it warms up a little today will work on assembly of chipper. No rush to get it completed. Surprised that hydraulic oil is only rated for use down to 30 degrees. Plus WoodMaxx recommend that it's best not to chip in temperatures below freezing. Too hard on the chipper blades. Must be a CYA note in case one breaks.
Need clean walkways of 1" of snow that fell last night.
Randy, glad your meeting went well.
Buckeye, keep on resting and getting good doctor reports.
Riptides and others, prayers sent.
Good Morning All.

I believe what they are concerned about is pitch pockets that are frozen, they are about like hitting rocks.
Hit a good size frozen pitch pocket with a chainsaw and you'll need to resharpen the chain.

Went by Barns and Nobel this morning. I was surprised to see 10 different vegan/vegetarian/plant based magazines but only one Instant Pot magazine, I thought I was in California for a minute.

Barnes and Noble still exists?

It does in the Triangle Mall in Denton.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

There are still malls? Lol

Went out to get mail, noticed new neighbor up the road has a shiney new orange tractor with rotary cutter. Havent met them yet.

Got 6 pieces of scrap cut and glued up and they equal 180 degrees!!! If each cut is 1/4 of a degree off then it would have been 3 degrees off so I am pleased. Still have some work to do getting everything set up but am heading in the right direction.

LouNY, Don't know what causes it but even wood without pitch in them will dull a chainsaw faster than non- frozen wood.

Have a wonderful evening. Ed

I avoid malls. I do all my shopping at Bucee's and Tractor Supply.

I’m glad your wife is willing, it’s bad when you know they need to see the doctor and won’t go.

Very true she is thick headed I almost needed to threaten her, actually think I did . Thankfully the Dr thinks it may have been a one time event for her, most likely caused by to much caffeine. He did order a few tests for her after the first of the year and told her basically what I said " cut down on coffee, cigarettes and try to lose a few pounds. All in all I am breathing a sigh of relief.

Yes, I know. When I was having my HA I could not wrap my mind around what was happening until about two days after placement of the emergency stent.

Yes she should know better, as a nurse, paramedic worked in the emergency room and my HA which I'll be celebrating my 17 year anniversary next week. 3 stents still holding there own.
