Piddled in the shop today. Put a step on my SS mower and installed a grab bar on the SS roof edge to make it safer for me to climb in and out.
Hope you all have a great evening. Those with a woodstove put a foot up there for me 😉

Apparently antibiotics don't have much effect on viruses.
never did, never will. Antibiotics are for bacterial critters, not virus-type critters.

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.9C and it's presently 16.9C, overcast and fairly calm (wind will pick up, though). There was 3mm in the gauge @ 0900... not expected but every little bit in the tank is welcome, especially with guests in the house.

Good run into town yesterday. Holiday traffic is beginning to pick up as the town/area's population typically triples at this time of the year due to many 'holiday homes'.

Yesterday arvo I was able to successfully extract the Hills Hoist main pole from the in-ground socket. AND without destroying anything! :D I put everything aside for later disposal at the tip as something told me that I may be able to salvage from it.

A good thing that I did that too. Computer research confirmed that, even though the hoist was 25+ years old, the in-ground socket was still compatible with today's models. This was confirmed by product reviews/testimonials... however I may have to re-use the 'locking cap' and pin from the old pole. So I'm glad that I didn't dispose of that.

My houseguests will be returning later on this evening... Penelope will not be pleased.

That's about it, take care all.

Caught dad using my rotary mower as a snow blade the other day, so my brother got the blade put on for him.

Good morning !
Time to wake up ! 😁

Have got like inch of snow. It's ~ 0...+1ºC Cant figure out what to do with that snow. Should I clean driveway or let weather take care of that

Today should move last junk from old office to new one. A lot of mental fight with colleagues and myself about items (tools, spare parts) 10 years not used

Later today should drive boys to their basketball club party

29° and dark out, highs in the low 30’s sunny winds NW 10-15 gusts 25+ mph.

Got most of the storm mess cleaned up and moved to the brush pile, neighbor came over and helped, goes so much faster with 2 people 👍

The Mrs went to the DMV and renewed her license then picked up groceries. One more trip to the butcher and hopefully that’s it until after Christmas.

Bef hope you feel better soon

Prayers for those in need
Stay safe everyone
