Morning all, 29 going to 35 and cloudy
Got bench assembled and it looks ok. wife is happy.
Went to get pills, 1.85 for one bottle , $240 for the other :-(

Dad is still same, no improvement, still can't hold the phone.

We watched the Dhobi's in Mumbai, huge vats for washing. They have a marking system for the clothes so that they get them to the right people, even with thousands of items going through the cleaning each hour.
It's kind of like the lunch delivery people, error rate of delivery is so low that it's hard to measure.
Fedex, UPS and others have studied this process intently, but never able to even get close.


Be well,

Breakfast with the gang, wife didn't go. I bought milk and chips at grocery story, filled up car with gas.
roads now being salted, but radar shows everything sliding by to the south of us.
stove purring nicely, or maybe it's tiger on top purring... He loves that heat.

Welcome pearson_n and I’ll second having a nice weekend 👍

Crowded at the dump this morning, people beating the snow I guess. Filled up snow blower and topped off tractor. Had an empty gas can so went and filled that and my truck. All set for the “BIG WEATHER EVENT” I wish the media would can the drama and just report the weather, it’s New England, it’s winter, it snows.🙃
Back to energy conservation for the rest of the day.

Enjoy!

62°F and no rain

Happy with my tank install yesterday. Much better water pressure

Notices the guinea grass growth is out pacing the regular grass. May attempt some targetted mowing.

Conversation initiated with generator tech, no appointment yet but I’m hoping for next week. Once that is squared away zi can get my solar guy back.

Still need to change out battery in the honda generator.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

used the laundry service on my stays in New Delhi. Always impeccable and neat delivered back to the company villa apartment. Left a wad of local currency in the pocket and it was delivered back intact

Well Afternoon all, morning got away from me today.

This has been a somewhat unusual winter for us We have had several small nuisance storms of 2-4 inches that have needed to be scrapped off to avoid iceing, I heard today it was around 30 inches for the season with no accumulation.
The forecast for tonight and tomorrow is 6-10 inches. I have done my best to make sure it is in the lower amount. Dropped the blade of the rear, hooked up the blower, lubed it up and ran it a bit to check it out. Topped of the tractors fuel tanks and filled the pickup in town.

Drew sorry to hear that Taylor Swift is moving in, I can think of many other Country artists I'd rather have any wheres close by.

Hope everyone weathers the storms this weekend with no issues.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.3C and it's presently 16.1C [heading to 18C], somewhat overcast with a gentle breeze.

As per usual, I'm off to Church in a half hour and then the rest of the day is His.

That's about all, take care all.

wow, been too busy to give a decent reply, but have been lurking. May have missed a page of posts or 2.

Plenty of guys feeling bad, or have worse symptoms. Prayers to our team.

Big life changes for me, my mom has come to live with us for a while. My sister wants to put her in a high dollar place $$$ and sell/spend everything including her home. This place provides meals, and will come check on her if asked (sure that costs extra). Mom is doing fairly well, and we are planning to put her back in her own home, with wellness visits and 2 neighbors that will check on her. 1 of which, will work for pay caring for her. Well, my sis and her husband are worth a lot more than me, and don't really need any inheritance. I wish the case was the same for me. She is a girl, and might be making "feel good" decisions. I do need her help handling the situation. Ultimately, I am the executor. I just don't want to put her in a 5-6K a month place, and when she runs out of money, will have to go to a different place.

My sis just popped up this "sell the house" idea yesterday. (After I went and got a Lady Bird deed done, which she knew about....)

I will run my replys to her through my wife's filter, to be as diplomatic and loving as possible.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. You have nothing to gain. Now if it needs brakes, that’s another story.
True, true. My buddy was going to spend a ton putting new shocks on a Highlander because of a few bumps on the hwy on his trip. I laughed, told him to save his money, "those same bumps launch everybody"! It is where some clay ruins the hwy and they have to repair it every 2 years are so.

Morning all, 25 going to 49 and cloudy.
Did get the trim and patch measurements written down yesterday.
Then off to dog walk, saw Girlscouts selling cookies in the freezing weather so we bought some boxes.
By the time I got home I was starting to feel bad again and am a complete wreck this morning.
I pray you get feeling better Ken.

Good Evening
Day started at 25° and cleaning up a light snow, ended at 45, with it all melted.

New propane tank arrived a bit after 9, he took back behind the shop where it goes, picked up the old one, and placed the new one, then transferred the propane from the old one to the new one. Interesting how they did it. He had a rig made up with a York style automotive air conditioning compressor driven by a 5hp Honda engine. He connected the liquid ports on the two tanks together, and then the compressor rig sucked vapor from the new tank, and pumped it into the old tank, forcing the propane into the new tank. It transferred surprisingly fast.

Here’s the old tank about to be set on the edge of the lane for the old supplier (that more than doubled my price without any warning or discussion) to pick up. Surprisingly, they didn’t ask any questions when I told them to pick up their tank.

Tracked down a small issue with my radiant heat, turns out that the bathroom thermostat controlled one of the loops in the bedroom, and the bedroom thermostat controlled the other loop in the bedroom and the single loop in the bathroom. Totally my lapse of attention wiring the zone actuators.

Finished up with an oddfellows meeting.
Buddy got a new valve for his tank, not sure why, then they approved his new home's gas piping. Then filled him up a bit and sent him a bill almost $1000
Ahh, you are human, I was beginning to wonder.:)
LOL. :)

Just saw this posted.
Sad about Bird. He had passed back in October 28th.

Thanks.
I see Roy was still with us then, and Eric from the UK.
Yep, wondered what happened to Eric too?
Tinhack wait until summer arrives I fear a lot of heat
Too late, already here. Snow 10 days ago, now 85F
Or use a bullet of your favorite caliber at an appropriate range.
Yep. Could be exciting too?

PitBoss pellet grill working great. Cooking already seasoned chicken leg/thigh quarters is easy and cheap.

Only got to ride Yamaha a couple of times. Would like to ride today, but mom is here and life is different.

Good Afternoon Ken,
We watched the Dhobi's in Mumbai, huge vats for washing.
A friend of mine in the FD told me about a trip that he took on business to Mumbai ! Didn’t sound like a place I would want to visit with people pooping in the gutters over there ! Maybe it’s different now ! 😒
