33F cloudy.

Snow removal went better than I thought it would and rear blade on Kubota (y) but with ground not being frozen I'll have extra lawn raking come spring. :(
While cleaning roofs shoveling walks weight of snow on the limbs/branches did lot pruning :eek: but never lost power as many have.

Plans for the evening...after dinner nest into recliner watch MNF until eye lids get heavy.

Enjoy your evening all.

38F, wet, and cloudy @ 17:00, heading down to around 31F for the low overnight.

Just finished doling out meds for this week, Woman ran out to go to DG, looks like She decided to go on ahead down to the Acme for groceries as well ... (y)

Got small odds-n-ends order placed @ Menards on Friday and then ran down and picked it up on Saturday I think ?

Got hopper feeder refilled yesterday, brought tube feeders in to refill ... decided to go ahead and wash them as well ... which I have yet to get to ... :rolleyes:

Finished up drying all the planting pots in the garage and got the dirt knocked out of them and all sorted yesterday ... but there are still some out by the basement back door that I need to bring up and go through.

I baited and placed the 4 mouse traps that were on the Menards order, 2 out in the garage, two in the kitchen. Need to check those and see if we got any customers ... ;)

Started cleaning off a spot in the assembly table top out in the garage so I have a place to set the heater to install the hanger brackets and scope it out.

Got that section of 1/2 black pipe going towards the back wall doped up and installed into the other piece up on the ceiling.

Bunch of clean up on some tools + vacuuming the floor, starting to have a little space to move around.

This evening I need to move a 10' section of black pipe down to the basement and bring up a length of 3/4" pic conduit. Also bring up the rest of the planting pots.

Next step on getting the heater up is move the plastic Rubbermaid chemical cabinet so I can get the ladder close to the back wall to get the uni-strut mounted on the ceiling.

Make take a shot at getting the water heater anode replaced tonight and the crud drained out of the tank.

Hope everyone is having a decent Monday ... (y)

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.9C and it's presently warmed up to 24.4C (heading to 27+C), fairly clear with a gentle breeze.

Right, I've got to get off my arse and start collecting/disposing of all these tree limbs. Other than that I'm enjoying the warmer temperatures... after just over 10 years, I'm still enjoying retirement and the 'mindset' that goes with it. ;)

That's about it, take care all.

another long day in the office...lol
Saturday's mail that never came got delivered this morning, along with the package USPS said they "tried to deliver" saturday, but clearly didn't try. Then the normal mail for today came this afternoon...
paperwork and bill paying today. All but 2 bills for the rest of the month all paid or scheduled to pay.
Need to do costco run tomorrow to pick up a deliver to store order.
got christmas tree hauled upstairs and put up last night, not decorated, but lights are on. Far as i'm concerned it can stay like this. Cats havent messed with it yet.
I got very little sleep last night, and woke up early this morning not feeling real great.
