Good morning. Still a bit too wet and windy here to do much outside except slide around in mud.

Ron, what a perfect coincidence of dates ! Congratulations to all the family.

Congrats Great Grandpa Ron. Luna, how appropriate

Yes and how fortunate she wasn't born later, or with her parents obvious interest in astronomy she could have been named "Quadrantids Meteor Shower". "Luna" sounds so much better :laughing:

Nice on-the-wing pic Thomas. Shame about the missing turkeys, they are not often seen here either, except on a dinner plate at Christmas.

Hope this Friday the 13th is kind to all, especially so for Randy.

31 going to 45 and rain on the way.

Woke up thinking about you, Randy. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thomas, looks like an eagle to me, too.

PJ, I woke up early to see 2 skunks in the yard by the moonlight. Now 2 skunks gone, 1 more left (that I know of). These 3 skunks are so differently colored/patterned.

Eric, how's that octagon (I think it was 8 sides) coming?

Need to bring in some more firewood before the rain hits.

good morning all.
41 out now, lots of rain starting this afternoon and going for two days. That could mean a lot of snow further North...

All of us send our prayers and best wishes for Toppop, and Ellen. Hopefully a perfect procedure and they get you out of there quickly.

garden club meeting today, xmas lunch, taking headphones so I don't have to leave when noise gets too loud. I'll look dorky but has to be.

New podiatrist rolled his eyes at the orthotics made for me, promptly made his own with medical tape, fascinating to watch. Also gave me a night foot
splint, not a full sized boot, and said I should hopefully feel improvement by Monday. Hope so. He did say I had a variety of spurs and other arthritic growths but none seemed to be causing a problem. And he gave me a variety of stretching exercises which first guy never did, and everyone says you do for plantar fasciitis, so frankly I trust this guy more.

hope you all have a great day.

Good morning,
temp is 26° F and going to a high of 36. Wind SSE 7 mph. Flurries.
We got about an inch on top of the inch we got the other day.

While I was out with the tractor yesterday, I spotted what appeared to be a hydraulic leak. It was, right at one of the fittings going into the curl cylinders. At first, I thought it was a blown hose, then after getting the protection cover off the pipe that holds the loader arms aligned and not seeing any leaks, I went to put the hoses back on and found the culprit. A loose fitting. Tightened it up and reassembled everything but the cover and all is well. I will 'customise' that cover today and I will never have that nightmare to deal with again. The cover is a U shaped piece of 3/16" steel that goes across from arm to arm and the hoses are underneath that. I will cut it lengthwise and cut out the two cutouts for the hoses to emerge from the underneath. Bolt it back in place and add a couple of tie wraps to tthe hoses and the job will be done.

I planned out my week so that I didn't have to go anywhere today, I am not superstitious but why tempt fate?


Have a good safe day all

Good morning All. 32 now but warming towards 50 by nightfall. Rain supposed to arrive later this morning and persist most of the weekend.

Positive vibes and prayers for Randy and his medical team.

Congratulations to Jay and the Missus. It sounds like Costa Rica is a great place to celebrate such a joyous occasion.

Have a good day and weekend!
