Good afternoon all. 34F this morning in Lake Kiowa TX. Forecast is for 47F and sunny winds from the north and a booming 6 mph. Girls are going shopping in Sherman so I should get a ride in today :cool2:. I think today's work plans (demolish a rotten retaining wall) have been put off till tomorrow. We may either go home or play golf Tuesday, I have not been informed yet. :D

Good Afternoon. 1220, mostly cloudy, 77F with 78% humidity. Forecast high is 76F for this afternoon with 0% chance of rain, and a low of 62F tonight. I walked over to Mamma's earlier in shorts and an undershirt {tank-top to you youngsters} and wasn't the least bit cool. But then she did call and ask me to come over when I was right in the middle of my cardio.

I should know better than to try to keep up with Margie's schedule. She did go to Dothan today, but with her buddy, not Sister and Cousin Dee. That trip is planned for Thursday. She may have a point when she says I don't listen to her.

I've got a big pot of 13 bean soup on the back burner for supper. And since Margie is not here to tell me no, I'm thinking about trying a healthy quiche I've had in the back of my mind for the last week. I'm thinking if you traded the Mayo out with Greek yogurt it would kick up the protein numbers and cut the calories. Also more eggs and less milk. Plus I'm going to skip the pie shell. I was running the numbers on the quiche we cooked the other night, and the pie shell was the biggest amount of calories of any one ingredient. I've got ham and leftover veggies from the veggie pizza {broccoli, bell pepper, carrot and onion} to add too. It may turn out to be a souped up omelette before I'm through with it.

Had a good visit with the family. Came home with a selection of chocolate goodies made by Lake Champlain Chocolates in Burlington, VT, a delicious homemade lemon meringue pie, and a book: 1491 New Revelations Of The Americas Before Columbus, "a portrait of human life in the Americas before the arrival of Columbus." Sounds interesting.

I love this kind of book too. One of the things that stand out about the Columbus story is that he had a map, and when he got close to the West Indies, he stopped sailing at night.

I don't have the option of any the good NFL games you guys mentioned, but I'm watching Chargers at Chiefs. So far it hasn't been too bad. I still can't make myself watch the Buc's.

Hope everyone has a good day,

Larro

Good Morning! Today I pay for my procrastination. No cut dry firewood, 35˚ raining all day, wife is suggesting that it sure would be nice to have a fire today. Fail on my part - but the trail through the woods looks good.

We have one of those copper wash pots next to the stove and keep it full of wood for the next day. All the crumbs stay in the can and the wood is baked dry to ensure a good fire the next day. As long as I fill it, I have dry wood.

You're riding in this weather? You're a hard man, MG. If it's below 60, I won't get on the bike.

37F and overcast @ 14:45 ... had about a third of an inch of rain so far today but it's not raining now.

Had a relatively productive day yesterday. Got the corks for the drain holes in the ballast block removed finally and got it moved into the polebarn. Then cleaned off the big chunks of mud off the MMM. Took the ash bucket here at the house and emptied it into the compost pile and did a little clean up out back.

Managed to find a wick for my old Corona kerosene heater for the garage at ACE hardware ... grabbed that and a little battery operated pump ... then I hit Speedway for 5 gallons of K-1 (still pricey) and diesel for the Kubota ... filled up the van while I was there ($3.16/gallon)

Got the second pallet fork needle scaled and coated with phosphoric acid last night. Welded in a piece of pipe for the mount for the suction strainer on the hydraulic reservoir for the log splitter and gave the reservoir another coat of phosphoric acid.

Did a little clean up and putting away of stuff in the shop as well.

Looks like there is finally some cold weather on the way in the upcoming days ... with highs in the 20's ... not terribly excited about that.

Hope everyone had a good day.

Replaced one lock at my sister's place. One room has a lock on it, no original keys, the keys from the real estate folks are useless. I called the real estate lady, to see if she could get ahold of the previous owner to get a original key. Really too much time on a petty problem.

Have a good one!
