It's still evening to me Buppies. I'm just checking in before turning in. Had a lot of late night things to review after a busy day on a call today - 18 item agenda took it's toll, fixed a roast this evening and just waiting on it to cool down to go in the fridge for lunch tomorrow (later today).

Several things pending after the crack of dawn too. So I hope you have a great day and Holly is doing well!

Buppies, hope you having a good night.
Up early again 10° and still dropping. Way colder than what was forecast last week.

brrrr
says 12 on thermometer
but not as cold as further North
am thinking Lou building that shed in this weather must mean cold hands and maybe stiff fabric.

sunny with high of 33 today
headed to hospital this morning to pick up barium glop to drink before CT scan on Thursday.
otherwise should have a quiet day though big Amazon delivery
that means I have some presents to wrap later, which I always find fun.

with the low humidity out, water in my bird bath is evaporating quickly, particularly when little pump
moves the water.

am going to send pic of these groceries to local supermarket, tell them to stop giving us such cheap bags,
they all rip. After this happened, ordered several more heavy duty bags so I can pack my own.
Christmas cookies bit the dust

Poured first cup of coffee. 3° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 33° with good chance of snow. Yesterday was a conserve energy. May try to do the same today. Did do a phone call with Harvey. He is slowly recovering.
Even the deer cleanup crew are well fed this year.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

good morning, 16 going to 32 definitely colder

started the oil fire furnace in the bed room side of the house to make it comfortable for wife getting up. Also raked the coals in the wood fire stove and added more wood and it is in full fire warming the living room side. Mini split backing off

Taking wife in to the clinic for infusion about mid day. End of this period has been hard on her and hoping for better days to come

D is settling in Richmond and meeting with friends living in the area. She took care of two kids from her long time friends while they were able to get time alone. She had her hands full with kids that are a bundle of energy going non stop. The pic is of them showing off their ninja skills.
Zion is getting a taste of snow. Amazing how cheap the area is compared to Northern Virginia

19 going to 36. Snowed all day, but didn't amount to very much. South of us got 8 inches, according to the weather man.

There was a special feeling in the air putting up Christmas decorations while the snow was falling. It was cold as blue blazes putting up Christmas decorations while the snow was blowing sideways. But we got the fun ones completed.

Good morning, the low is 11 and going to a high of 27°F. Wind SE 9 mph. 60% chance of flurries.

Yesterday I set up an Excel program to track the fuel usage in the Kioti. At least I can say I did something productive.

There is nothing planned for today, so will conserve energy.

Have a safe day all

Good Tractor Morning Ponytug,

It split so cleanly, and especially easily when it was -10F or colder, but yes, hard as a rock

Indeed it did ponytug. Didn’t need a splitter when really cold out, and you didn’t need to swing the maul that hard either

Good Tractor Morning Don,
Our prayers to your BIL and Bil’s family Hoping for a quick recovery

 

[DarkBlack]

Good morning. It’s 1 lonely Fahrenheit degree right now. Can’t complain because the forecast was for -7 a few days ago. Another 1-3” snow predicted for tomorrow.

Good Tractor Morning Lou,
Be careful up there Lou
We don’t bounce like we used to

Good Tractor Morning,
Ct, 9 to start going to 32. Honestly it never made it past 25 yesterday, so I take the weather prediction with a grain of salt

Work not too bad yesterday until the next to the last delivery. The chain came off for the hose reel rewind. Had to muscle the hose back onto the reel before leaving.
Call my boss and tell him the situation, and the last stop the people are out of oil So I went to the last stop and had to do the reel by hand, of course this is all in the dark . He really needs to get the whole chain and reel mechanism rebuilt with new chain and a proper tensioner

Today looks to be mostly inside with these temps.

Hope all have a great day

Good morning! Awful late getting to Christmas lights this year, just too many projects trying to get finished during our last warmer days of November and early December, but I think I'd better get some up today before the "wintery mix" hits tomorrow.

Heck, I was just doing the final mowing of the lawn two days ago in a brief afternoon above freezing, and then final leaf clean-out yesterday at 20F.

Two lit wreaths went up on the house yesterday afternoon, which is step 1 of about 100, in terms of the amount of lights we usually put up.

 

[daugen]

neither snow nor sleet nor broken hose reels will keep Scott
from his appointed rounds...

no slips or falls guys
let's stay out of the ER

 

[riptides]

22 outside this AM right now, heading to lower 30's. May not get above freezing.

Busy day yesterday, then wife interrupted me and took me off to a local coffee shop. I usually don't drink coffee past 9AM. Got some more anyway, good thing too. Forgot last night that I needed to get the well house heat lamp plugged in. So in the dark, cold night I was moving the top cover (weighs a few hundred pounds) off and dropped the electric into the light. Good thing I was wide awake.

Today it's a city run in a few, real jobs.

Coffee maker broke yesterday, cannot reset it. This AM it was old fashioned drip with a paper towel as a filter. Seems someone took my cone filter and paper filters. I'll have to track them down later.

Daughter in Petersburg, VA reported 8 inches of real snow.

Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

Good morning TBN!!
29 this morning getting to the 40s and maybe a peek of sun this afternoon. Got a little snow last evening but no accumulation, Wife was happy,

Took the day off yesterday and mostly just watched TV. Even had a fire. We don't heat with wood so fires are for ambiance only. Spent 15 years heating with wood only keeping three burners running all winter. Cut haul split stack. All by hand. Had enough of it.

Random thought. All of my Craftsman tools and many others I bought new are now vintage!
From Google: "Generally 20-99 years old; older than retro, younger than antique."
I guess it's a good thing I am not "antique" yet. Has to be a 100 years old for that.

Time for a second cup
Everyone have a great and safe day!!
