Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready!

We had so much snow from the storm! Lots of drifting too. The town plowed a 3 foot tall wall of snow into the driveway. Temps are frigid and will continue thru the week...single digits right now.

Hope you all stay warm and safe today.

Good morning everyone!

Still chilly and snowy but no poem today!
Also not much sunshine. But the WADDB is warm and that's something to be happy for.

Happy Tuesday GameBoomers!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, Bagels and Hot Chocolate in the Break Room. It' s 34 this morning. Saturday and Sunday it's supposed to be in the 20's with wind chills in the teens. I have my once a year appointment with my oncologist this morning. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning Connie, Fogfighter, Gerry, Hagatha, OldBroad, Draclvr and all who follow. Draclvr, your neighbor's kids are the best! OldBroad, brother can drive car to Autozone where they can do some free checks (battery, alternator) to possibly determine the problem....most Autozone's do this for free. Our temps are in the teens this morning but warming up now that the sun is up. Loving the WADDB and bagels this morning.

Wishing you all a wonderful Tuesday...stay safe and warm

Good Tuesday morning. Oh, my goodness! It's 22 degrees F this morning with sun to boot! Downright balmy! The nights are still supposed to drop down near zero though.

Soot, I was going to suggest the same thing to oldbroad. Most places like Autozone will do some free checks to determine a problem. A vehicle does not "get used to" a new battery - there is still something amiss. Maybe an alternator or even a fuel pump.

Hubby may need to make a run in town for black oil sunflower seeds - the birds are going through it like mad. The county snowplows finally came by this morning. The country roads are still awful here.

Happy Tuesday all!

Brother could not drive the car to get to Autozone to have it looked at, hence the new battery. We don't have anyone to try to give him a "jump". Anyway, he said it did start a little slow this morning but then it went okay, without dying out. Drac, not get used to; get a little use - to like warm it up or whatever.

Of course, now I am growling about the grocery store again. They had pork tenderloin buy one get two free. He came home with only 2. He said they didn't seem sure about it in the store. They need to look at their ad paper and maybe learn how to ring something up manually! Now, not really a deal since they always jack the price up some before they do those sales. Pretty much paid regular price for them now. Oh well, I do have the ingredients for some chili (now that it's warming up) and some toilet paper. EDIT: Now I see what happened. He bought Hormel instead of from the fresh meat department. My fault for not paying attention and being specific on the list. Still, when he was talking to the store person, that person probably should have know that. However, there was a lot of product information I didn't learn about on my job when I was working, so...

That silly cat that comes in our house has finally started coming upstairs where I live. Last night I opened a can of smoked oysters and boy, did he want some. I had to shoo him away because I was afraid he might get sick if I gave him one.

Have a nice day everyone!

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready.

We are in an Arctic cold wave here...temp this morning will be around zero with a light wind making it feel below zero all day.

Hope you all stay warm...the sun will shine today so I will get in a walk...wearing several layers to stay warm!

Have a great day everyone!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and bagels in the Break Room. One of my boys is coming today to start on the bathroom walls. Music Bingo at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

A cold and sunny day over here. Snow on the ground. No drama except for the birds fighting for a place at their feed.
Meanwhile I enjoy the WADDB and stuff indoors.

Happy Wednesday GameBoomers

Good morning Fogfighter, Connie, Gerry, Draclvr and everyone. We're no longer in the deep freeze. Just darn cold with low temps last night hovering in the low 30s...but lots of sunshine and back up to the 50s today. The wide awake double dark brew and toasted bagels hit the spot.

Stay warm and safe today everyone

Good Wednesday morning. Around zero F last night, but in the 20's today with sunshine, so a pretty nice day.

While we're buried in snow and cold, I'm cleaning out another closet. It has all my old knitting stuff and I'm trying to organize it. I found two projects I obviously abandoned about 20 years ago! One was right in the middle of a row, so who knows what interrupted me and I never went back. Found another half finished mitten! And the first dozen rows of a rather pretty crocheted sweater! It also had hundreds of my husband's paperback books. I was never allowed to do anything with them because he might want to read them again some day. Yeesh... but now he has discovered large print books at the library, so I'm boxing them all up to donate. There are a couple of collections a year that will take them.

Happy Wednesday all!

Sunny for the third day in a row with low double digit tempsl Mad, are you and/or your daughters being impacted by those flooding storms in the UK?

I hope you each enjoy your day!

Good morning everyone, it's 19F & sunny today, can't complain about that. The weather has been just terrible everywhere, so please stay safe if you go out.

Good afternoon everyone.

Stay safe in the cold and snow, everyone.

My laptop is back from Dell and seems good as new. I'm glad to be back on a regular keyboard; I hate typing on my phone. I'm all thumbs.

We're back into rain here after our lovely ten days of sunshine (and fog). My pond does seem to have been properly repaired as the water level is holding. Now I can focus on planting around it this Spring. The garden centre opens at the end of the month and have a huge section for water planting. I also think I want to plant a few more large shrubs along my front fence.

The plans for a trip this Spring have folded; my friend is no longer going to be able to travel, I fear. She's as tough as nails but the cancer is starting to take its toll after so many years. I'll plan a trip for later this year, maybe in the Fall.

Great news about your pond, hagatha! Sorry about your friend though.

Thankfully, both my Daughters and I have escaped any severe flooding, although my eldest Daughter would be the most likely to be impacted out of the three of us.

We are all experiencing incessant rain though - and freezing temperatures 😱

And nice of you to ask, oldbroad 🙂

Good to hear Mad!

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready on this cold wintery day.

My weather is still bitter cold and by Friday it will be below zero with wind chills even lower! I just hope the sun shines!

Hope you all stay warm and enjoy your day!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. My son is continuing the work on the bedroom walls today. The bathroom walls and shower will be next. Enjoy the day and hug someone.
