Good Morning.
11° and sunny. High in the 20’s and continued clear.

Yesterday was cold and white. Day started in the tractor.

Wanted to make sure that I got the blacktop exposed before the traffic packed it into ice. Turns out there was already ice under the snow. But the sun and dry air took care of that after a while. Son had multiple visitors helping him move.

Good to see all that insulation at work, and keeping the snow on the roof of the old folks home.

Zoe was pretty excited about the stream of new people coming and going, especially the ones that brought dogs. I have to admit it is interesting being a neighbor to the house that I built many years ago. But so far we really like the old folks home. Especially the radiant heat and fireplace.

No defined plan for today. I want to spend some time with the new welder, I still have stuff to sort through in the house, and need to continue to clean up in the shop, as some of my treasure from the house is landing there.
I’ve got a check from the Oddfellows Lodge to deliver to a nearby food pantry, but not sure if they will be there today.

Also thinking about flying the little plane to lunch somewhere. Be interesting to see what the day brings.

What model welder did you get? do you have a fume extraction system?

Morning all, 18 going up to 24 and sunny.

Very glad I shoveled the driveway as what is left is ice.

Little before play party went great, wife made pizzas, I grilled up my Sricha/Honey flank steak.
Some shrimp and lots of home baked cookies and off to the play.
We met up in a bar we used to go to a lot, then off to the "barn".
It was a musical, so not my fave , but the ladies liked it a lot.
They do put in a lot of work for a small theater.

Kyle - I have Torque and it is on google play. No start on AC motor is usually a capacitor.



Be well,

Morning. Lows have been in the upper 20's, highs in the upper 50's. Should be near 60 for Christmas day..... that's just not right.... I remember a Christmas day back in the early 1990's that hit 72°. That really didn't seem right.....

No precipitation/moisture for over 36 days now. The drought monitor is creeping up....

Please keep us in your prayers...and some extras too.
Dona is not doing well. I'm not sure if she'll make it to Christmas without going back into the hospital (which she is refusing to do right now). She wants to be here with family.

It's gotten to the point where the pain meds aren't working. She got up this morning for maybe 45 minutes and is back in bed.

I don't know what else to write.....

Everyone have a great day!

64°F and no rain

The Solstice gathering was fun. Too much great food. Sophie let me drive her new car. Nice

Gonna take an energy ( and mental) conservation day. Watch some football, maybe break out the user manual for car so I can be basically aware how things work. Salesman demonstrated the driver assist function that Drew and others talk about with Sophie but I forget how to turn on.

UPS delivered dogs Christmas a ramp to get into back of Tundra

Prayer for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Hope all a Merry Christmas soon.
So sorry my wife still in hospital now with sepsis which isn't good. I'm getting over pneumonia hopefully and visit today.
Please pray .
We have no family here except my 97 yo Mom dementia and doesn't understand. We're blessed with great neighbors though.
Thanks.

Thanks, Drew. Great comments/observations. Feels a bit roomier than the Pilot. Peppier.
I thought about tow - I have my Tundra
I have made 65mph here, no hurry.

David, congratulations on new ascent. My sister has one. I do miss my forester.

Ron, delivery drivers cannot read English. You must post your sign in all the different languages you 'might' encounter in the U.S. AND explain in the same languages how they are at the wrong f^&%$#g door.

Back when I was a little gaffer, our front door never had steps going up to it. It was 4' off the ground. We had a sign on it that said "Use back door only please". The sign was right at eye level. You wouldn't believe the number of door to door salesmen that pounded on the front door. If you cannot read you certainly are NOT getting an order from us.
