Good morning!!!!

We could have bought another house for that much money. Of course, this is where we plan to grow old together, so it was worth it to fix what needed to be fixed and make it ours. It's just money, right?

You only get one life to live, and you can't take it with you. YES, I'm thinkin' you made the right decision.:thumbsup:

Wife installed the new cordless shades in the sunroom yesterday, so that room is now officially finished.

Are those the Levelor shades that you can push up on the bottom or pull down the top to adjust how much of the window they cover? If so, if they aren't exercised regularly, they tend to freeze up and not retract to the fully open position. Levelor will warranty them once, but then you're on your own when the replacement starts to do the same thing. DAMHIKT:muttering:

BEF- I wish your Father Happy Birthday and hope that he has many more in good health and happiness. I also want to express my thanks for his military service. Thanks to him and many like him, like my late Father, we have the freedoms for which they and their comrades and allies fought and died. The "Greatest Generation" description is an understatement.

A mixed cloud/sun day here today. Temperatures ~freezing early AM and should get into the 40f's later today.

"Something" tried stealing the suet/suet cage this AM. The snow is pretty solid so there were no tracks. It was on the ground nearby and still basically loaded up The cage was unable to be opened due to the zipties. I suspect the ravens.

There is at least one coy-wolf in the area based on tracks.

I should get a decent game cam and set it up around here.

Andrew- I am happy to read that you got a seatbelt for your tractor. I like the price too

Ed- I hope Mom's condition has improved.

David- I hope Sophie has a pain manageable day.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers for all.

Happy Birthday BEF's dad! Thank him for me!
My grandfather was in the 4th infantry. Not exactly sure but IIRC he was at the battle of the bulge too.

Good Morning! 60˚ cloudy, warm south wind.

Yesterday I surprised my self. I mowed the yard, the extended yard, weedeated everything and blew off the pavers and sidewalks. Never got tired. I've noticed this extra energy started about two weeks ago about a week after I stopped taking statins. Before I would mow about half and take a nap. The food has not changed and when everyone said they had more energy being on this diet I always though I feel about the same, now I know the statins were bringing me down. The Jump start of the 5 day fast helped also and have stayed 10 pounds lighter. Of course the cooler temps could also be a contributing factor. And, no it's not caffein, I've been off caffein for three weeks.

Today I have some cleaning behind the barn to do and then mulch mom's gardens and do her grocery shopping.

Today looks like the day TBN will top 5 million posts. Who will be the 5 millionth poster?????

A belated Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Muhammad on their marriage and Happy birthday Buckeye Senior.

Glad to hear it Don....Does this change your future plans any?

I still minimize my caffeine.

I don't remember off hand what they are, but pretty sure they are not the Levelor brand. Similar design, though, and they came with instructions to exercise them regularly for that very reason. We have them in all the other windows in the house, and most of them get fairly regular movement, especially on sunny days. When she ordered them online in stock sizes, the company called her almost immediately and asked for the exact measurements of each window, so they could custom fit them to 1/8". They did, and the fit is perfect, at no extra charge.

Good morning all, 38 going to 49 and sunny. Got up at 5 and had quiet time and fell asleep in the recliner. Thanks for the prayers and concern.

Happy birthday BEF's dad and thanks for your service for the country. He is 6 days younger than my mom.

Have a great day. Ed

BEF, happy birthday to your dad, it must be springtime again.

Didn't get chance to check in this morning as I had to get round the fields early in time to be collected by a driver from the nearest Subaru dealership. It took about an hour to get there and by that point the very pleasant young man had given me an insight into what life was like when he lived on a canal boat (low taxes, cold in winter with condensation everywhere and most definately wet when you take a single step in the wrong direction).

Collected my XV (aka Crosstrek), drove home and parked it outside the house.
Here it is, err, except



:confused3: Before I could take the picture, my wife had taken the spare key and dreamt up some lame excuse about needing to fetch tomato compost !

... the very pleasant young man had given me an insight into what life was like when he lived on a canal boat (low taxes, cold in winter with condensation everywhere and most definately wet when you take a single step in the wrong direction).

Hahaha ... reminds me of a story. I dated a girl for awhile in the mid-'90s who had worked as a river barge hand ("river rats" she called them) for awhile when she lived in Florida. According to her, any error that ended with you unintentionally in the water was considered so grievous that it required immediate resignation in shame upon return of the tug to its port of origin.

I have an abundance of interesting stories from my time with her. I called her The Nutbar ... no chocolate, no caramel, no nougat ... just nuts. :laughing:
