Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Knees, shoulders, arms, root canals....I hope y'all get to feeling better soon.

Tractor Daddy, whachagonna plant? One end crimson clover?

Rick, really nice barn.

Not absolutely sure about this, but those storms might have started out here in California. Been doing my best to keep them at bay, as I've got lots of work outside that needs tending to and heaven knows the last thing you guys need is more snow! But come to think of it, it might be David we really need to talk to, as the Pineapple express is strongly implicated in the last couple, and the storm that's here now.:laughing:

Aahhh, we finally get to the root of the weather problems..... ITS DAVID's FAULT !!

Sitting on back patio with good cigar and a plant based () Jack Daniels, enjoying last decent evening we'll have for a few days. Still 68° at almost 10 p.m.

It was damp and foggy all morning here and overcast all day. Rain is supposed to start, after midnight, according to the Weather Channel.

Buena noches and hasta mañana!

All traces of snow soon melted yesterday. In the short time it was here it put a lot of effort into searching every inch of my south facing wood store, successfully dampening the top layer.

This morning we are frost free and dry, which is ideal with the grand kids soon arriving. The 8 year old has lost interest in feeding sheep, however he is still keen to play outside, thanks to the attraction of a remote controlled car he got for Christmas. With wet wood and the younger grandson now walking around the house, it's best the woodburners stay cold. Not sure what will consume most electricity, the heat pump - or the continuous recharging of the RC battery.

Jay, if you don't already know about it, thought you may be interested in something that is happening in the electronics world that will revolutionise the collection of information for weather stations (and lots of other applications).

"LoRa" is a relatively new standard for wireless data transmission and many semiconductor manufacturers are coming out with inexpensive chips that consume very little power, but which can still easily send information from devices such as remote thermometers several miles. "Sigfox" is very similar. If you want an inside challenge for today, do some Googling to find out more. At least one company is already marketing a weather station based on this technology.

36 going to 43. Rain later, but all chance of snow has been removed from the forecast...that's okay, some still on the ground, but it hasn't dipped below freezing for a couple of days, so it's melting, and ground is soft.

Eric, I bet granddad will use some of that RC battery, too.

Rick, sounds like a pleasant evening.

I plan to check off a few miscellaneous chores from my list before the rain today...will probably add a few more, too.

-18°F and going to a high of -8F. Wind NE 13 mph.
We are under an 'extreme cold weather alert'.
The wind chill is supposed to get down to -40°F.
I aint goin' nowhere. I'm gonna hunker down and feed the stove.

Jay, would a Tensor brace be any help for the knee?

Have a good day all

Don, I just bought a pair of these. Very comfortable! They go on sale for $89.99 pretty often.

I used to buy the cheap black ones at Wally World. These are MUCH BETTER!

Plans are to fix the low water crossing. The ends have sunk and the culverts are half clogged up. Hopefully boots won't be needed much longer.

Bill, throw in a log for me. Find some hand craft to keep you busy; i.e.off your feet. Accomplish something
with your hands (sure, why not let your mind wander...), play cards, build a picture frame, things that don't involve walking.
It sure is hard to sit there and do nothing, drives me nuts. Naps are the exception. :thumbsup:
Same for Jay, nothing like a throbbing knee to get your attention big time.

Poor David/Sodamo, he wakes up and is told he is the problem for all the world's woes. Well at least the weather...
I always wondered what would happen if our world decided to spin in the opposite direction.

Tractor Daddy, that's a great looking project. Now how many cooks for this broth?
