Leader forgot to designate stand-in, nobody prepared to lead discussion, we broke up early. Just putter rest of day. Found two big limbs down in neighbor's yard, need to cut them up.

They are doing away with all the alligators anyway. Polling shows that people don't like them. With real polls coming up alligators are nothing but problems.

I ordered some Wuloo intercoms from Amazon on Friday last week. I thought they had to come from America but they arrived today. (Thursday) Very surprised.
Tried to do some mowing on the tractor today as my rib was feeling better. I hit a low stump and now it looks like I am up for a new rotor mainshaft for the flail mower if I can get one. Otherwise will have to try and find someone to straighten it. Still works but shakes the poo out of me. Not good for the bearings methinks. I have emailed Hayes to see what they say about it.
Only other happening is I had to remove a snake from a tree near the house. All the wild birds were going crazy at it. Only a meter long python but first snake we have seen for about a year.
Managed to spray some paspalum but ran out of the Paskill. Need to buy about 10 or 20 litre drum to do the rest.
Hope you are all keeping well.

Good morning, low temp 32 and the high 32°F. Wind NNW 6 mph. Rain.
There is only one driveway I am concerned about if the rain is of the freezing variety and that is mine. I have 5 buckets of ashes for the top of mine.

A town run for today and a trip to Powassan for some carb cleaner to see if I can get the MAP sensor in the Jeep cleaned up a little. She is idling at about 1,000 rpm fluctuating to 1250, a tad high. She should be idling about 5-600 rpm.

Hydro came around yesterday and change my meter. Some cock and bull story about the 'smart meters' being defective and changing all of them. My neighbour didn't get hers changed, no tracks in the snow near her meter.
I think they did that because I just recently went off of the 'time of use' plan and onto 'block' pricing where if I use less than 1,000 kw hours a month I pay $0.082/kwh and over 1,000 hours I pay $0.112/kwh. I consistantly keep my usage down around 700 kwh/month. We will see when the next bill comes in.

After that it will be an energy conservation day.

Have a safe day all

61 degrees for a low this morning, going for a high of 66, and we're currently getting some needed rain. But a forecast low of 26 tonight. Seems we just alternate between nice Spring weather and back to cold Winter weather.

And I see lots of talk here on TBN about cars and dealers, and I just got my 2017 Ford Escape serviced yesterday afternoon; oil & filter change, state inspection to renew registration, and changed the coolant as recommended every 5 years. The dealer's property has fewer new vehicles on it than I've EVER seen. Sure glad I don't need to trade or buy another vehicle.

53 going to 70. Not my favorite February weather...but winter will return tomorrow night.

Buppies, nice dream car. I volunteer to drive you and the Mrs. back and forth to the beach house.

Yesterday was another firewood day...split a load, picked up another load I left in the woods, and split that. I'm close to having replaced all that I've burned this winter already. Then did a little more storm clean up. Much more to do.

Need to take a hike today to get an upper body rest day.
