Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

37 degrees going up to only 44 today in a cooler drier trend. My helper finished moving all the sand and stone yesterday, I'll go down later to see how he did.
But first unfortunately I'm off to the oral surgeon today for a complicated tooth removal and then likely I'll just feel sorry for myself the rest of the day...
The worst part is no coffee, no food. Gonna get grouchy soon...

Internet was moving right along this morning, 70 up, 8 down. Boy I bet some of you out in the country would like those speeds. It would be like "shazaam!"

Good Morning. 0435, clear, 32F with 87% humidity. Forecast high of 49F with no chance of rain today, and a low of 29F tonight. I haven't poked my head out but I'm guessing we have a pretty white frost this morning. The cold kept me inside last night. Though I did go down to the camp late yesterday afternoon and make a pot of coffee. I practiced my compass skills in the river swamps earlier in the day. Cold not too bad in the swamp. Not sure what I will get into today before work.

You guys have a good one

It was a little sad to learn this morning that David Bowie has passed away.

I remember walking into a disco many years ago and being introduced to a girl by the ticket collector with a nod in my direction and the words "dance with him Julie". As we walked into the hall Suffragette City was playing at full blast. I have been a bit of a Bowie fan ever since.

What happened to the lovely Julie ? She is still fast asleep, upstairs in my bed.

That is sad news. I saw him in Norfolk or Hampton Va during my Navy days. It was the China Girl tour, 1982 or there about. A very well crafted show. When all the lights would go out and they would hit him with a single white spot, him all dressed in white, he just shined. I'll have to dig out my old DB CD's and give them a spin this morning.

Drew, I had a molar come in as a weak tooth as a kid...managed to keep it until about 10 years ago...had a dentist work on a root canal...doing part of it during each of 4 visits...never got it right, and I think really botched it, so finally went to an oral surgeon and had it removed...worked out great.

Hope yours goes well.

Good morning! 31˚ no wind.

Early morning internet speeds are 6Mbps down and 2Mbps up at
AT&T High Speed Internet Speed Test

Rick the one thing I do like about this small internet company is anytime unlimited data that is standard. Their Service dept. is off on weekends so if your service goes out Friday Evening it will be Monday afternoon before someone is sent out. If holidays also are in the mix like what happened to me it could be 10 days without service. I think they also let about half their people off on vacation in-between Christmas and New Years.

Eric you must really have some good disco moves to snatch up Julie that quick. Good thing I did not have to depend on my moves. Whenever I discoed in the 70'S I was just an embarrassment to my future wife. Our song was a slow dance - "Colour my World" by Chicago.

Good morning, 12F here, heading to only 19F. Heard this morning that David Bowie had died after a battle with cancer.

 

[KevT]

32 now going to 52, Saying it will be 28 tonight. Will have to let the kitchen sink trickle tonight. The holidays are over because I just became very busy work wise for the next 2 weeks. Today is water stains in the ceiling. I will try to figure it out with a scope, but if not it will be hole cutting time.

Eric, that was a sweet story.

I look at the temps you guys have, and now understand why 2000 people a day move to FL. I seem to only miss CO in the summer and fall. Lived in FL 34 years now.

I had a look and the Ash Dragon comes up as "currently unavailable" in the UK. Good idea though, I may get around to making something like it one day.

Now that I think about it, I think I ran into the same thing over here and ended up ordering one if these instead from Amazon:

Amazon.com - Minuteman International AB-01 No Mess Ash Box - Fireplace Accessories

For forty bux I couldn't make one as well or as inexpensively.
