Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

good morning all
Wunderground says it's snowing out, but it's not....cloudy and flurries all morning.
cleaning lady coming this morning, need to pick up a little

on top of the TBN page I am seeing an ad now for Summit Tractors.
Here we go again, this time being sold by Tractor Supply and a few other box retailers.
Made in India, Mitsubishi engine, full featured with hydro and bucket, under 20k.
Nice green color, reminds me of the ones that sporting goods company tried to sell.
I don't think they are around any more.

I thought Massey, Kioti and TYM owned this part of the market but I guess someone thinks there's room for another brand.
I sure would not depend upon my local TSC to know much; remember my story about walking into one and asking for
three point hitch parts and the guy there asked what was a three point hitch?...

Now that supply is improving for other companies, think this might be a tough sell for an unknown brand.

Happy Birthday, Drew. You're only 10 years behind me.LOL

36 outside this AM, heading to mid 40's. No rain expected, good thing, winds though in the 20's. Hope that dries things up some more.

Still hanging lights in the Milk House. These are designer lights, and while not an issue with wiring, positioning is everything. Looks like I get to spend more time in the attic today. Hopefully after today, the lighting and electrical is done.

Need to start thinking about plumbing and busting out more concrete. I do have a drain already in the bathroom. It's over 100 years old and no idea where it goes. I should bust out around it and maybe I can at least use it to snake a new water line into the building. But I am getting way ahead of myself.

RS, LS, PopaG, thanks for the info again on the table saws. I am looking for a upgraded homeowner special. Don't need it to do anything but rip window and door trims. And it has got to move about as there is always something going on somewhere other than the house.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe. Get or stay healthy as always.

30 outside winds blowing 15 to 30mph. Wind chimes sound wonderful. Only high in 30s today 50 tomorrow. Three possible chances of snow before April hmmm.

Prayers for all silent or spoken our Country Ukraine

Hope PJ is ok

Bird, you are a wonderful example of living long and well.
And if you worry about forgetting things, join the club, it affects most of us.
Bird, you are an inspiration. Keep it up.

am I now officially a geezer?

hmmm, better look that up, see who it offends....
nope, I'm ok
What age is a geezer?
a geezer, an old geezer (UK): a guy, a man, a dude; an old man, an elderly fellow. noun. The slang term geezer is used in the US exclusively to describe an old person. In British English, it is a slang term used to describe a man of any age.

So....one truly is only as old as one feels.

Good morning! Very light snow today, and still below freezing. But will go above later today, making the snow slick again.

Tried to get the tractor unstuck yesterday, using the pick up truck, but couldn’t get enough traction. Then I was going to use the ATV and it’s winch, but the stupid battery was down and it wouldn’t start! Anything that can go wrong will go wrong! Can’t find the key to the other ATV, so plugged in this one ATV overnight on the charger and will check now to see if it got charged up.

Can’t work on it today really because I am working all day at my day job!

May be a better day tomorrow.

Drew you are a Septuagenarian. Somebody in their 70’s.
Those of us in our 80’s are Quadragenarian or Octogenarian.
Try to say those words 3 times correctly.
Being called a Geezer would not bother me. But would look around to see who they were talking about.

Hmmm....wind advisory just posted. And winds are on the uptick all of a sudden.

Posting to 50mph.

Looks like more stick work will be in order, and I guess I better get the generator out, just in case.

I saw a mature eagle fly over the pasture this AM while doing the morning feeding chores. Great sight against a nice blue sky with some puffy clouds. Should have had the SO's camera with me. That lens though is a tough carry when working.

Well morning to all;
At least 12" of snow here already.
Starlink has quit working, and the cell tower is dropping 4g often which drops out the hotspot and it's 600 byte connection.
Lots of power outages around and lots of idiots out driving around and getting in accidents or stuck while trying to turn around because of tress or limbs or low wires in the roads.
I haven't decided when I'll start moving snow.

Stay safe and healthly.

Morning all, 35 cloudy and light snow to start while taking son to school.
Will stay above freezing, so all this snow is melting on contact.

Did not get anything done last night, and sleepless with the heavy winds that came through.

Be well,
