Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

Good evening all, been a nice day. have not been sleeping much lately, shoulder hurts then head starts and I just get up and stay up until things let up. Computer acts up a lot some times and then is fine for days. :confused3:

RNG, I always think Ring when I wright RNG. Very glad you are home but not as glad as you are I bet.

Prayrs sent for all. Ed

Prayers for you Ed, not sleeping and hurting is a tough combination.

No luck so far with the van. Which probably means its the "tandem pump" -- watch out, the VW Touareg, which I think is sold in the US, some of them had the same engine as mine. I wish VW had put somewhere a big Warnung! that letting the van run out of diesel is not only a pain in the a**, but also likely to a pain in the wallet. The van has 100K miles on it (young for a diesel). One more thing to check early tomorrow morning that will verify the pump is a problem, and order one and hope it can arrive by Wednesday (small country, sometimes the deliveries can be Amazon Prime like). Would like to get it back in to working by the weekend.

The older two kids a couple of days ago figured out it was fun to jump off their bunkbed onto the other bed below. I told them to stop. They did it again today, which added to my problems. A wise man at Highland Hardware in Atlanta once said "you can never have too many clamps". I would add that fast curing polyurethane wood glue is another must-have on hand at all times (and in fact it can stick many other materials).

. My brother did the same thing when we were growing up. Only he fell off and broke his arm.

Toppop I agree with your warm up before Christmas and maybe lasting well into January too early to rule you out of snow although I think NC is the bullseye

Good luck on your job, and I think we are in for that deal I spoke about earlier, cold and snow before Christmas, milder than normal early winter, cool spring. Hey, my guess is probably as close as the weather man!

Good evening all. 44F for the start, overcast, radar showed echos overhead but pavement stayed dry. Calm wind. Light wind day today, sky improved to mostly sunny and high temp was 52F. 2 hour choir practice today, next week is most of our concerts. Had to do some repositioning of boat before starting on the van ignition. Have pulled in inspected 6 of 8 spark plugs so far, last two are going to be real "fun" At least the van still starts and idle smooth, have not seen anything that might cause a misfire or evidence of misfires. Should finish tomorrow even with the bike ride.
RNG good luck with getting everything sorted out.
Andrew, it is nice to be able to fix things, the bunk looks under control. Good luck with getting the van running again.
Ted be sure to follow the PT and exercises :thumbsup:
prayers for all.

31 right now...and that is the high of the day...looks like a cold snap coming through for about a week and today's "high" will be mid-20's.

9 with a high of 23F. Wind N 10 gusting to 18 mph. 40% chance of flurries.

I gotta go to Sundridge today and get me a big clevis. The other day when I pulled that Ford out of the ditch we hooked the tow rope onto the 3 point. I know, not very smart. That is why I will be getting a big clevis.
We gotta get some fresher greens and see the butcher again. Cat food is also on the list. I think the route will be drug store, butcher, equipment dealer, hardware store, grocery store and lottery store.

check, how deep is the water at your marina? Also how long are the covered slips at the marina?
the reason I am asking is that I am looking for a marina closer to home and hopefully cheaper than I am paying now.

Have a good day all

33 high of 45 today down in mid 20s tonight

This upcoming storm will put snow and ice down in unusual areas from California all the way across the country to the east coast

Prayers for all in need
