we are at 33 sunny degrees....quiet and pleasant day hope all is well....

Good morning Kitty.  Glad you had some good weather.  We still have ice and snow.

I've delayed my trip down to the farm until Sunday.  No use taking the chance of

slipping off the road. 

Have only worked on my amplifier last couple days of rain, snow, and wind.  Found

a way to use a piece of test equipment to troubleshoot it so don't have to have it

installed in the station.  Now it's over on the repair table. 

We have the grandkids Monday while my daughter goes to the dentist down in the city.

Granddaughter is working but will see if she can make it over. 

Enjoy your day.

Ernie.

Good morning Ernie and Susan...the sun is partially shining, and it is up to 30 degrees....not too busy today and our younger daughter invited us for wine time....always pleasant....Brian is going out to work on the stone wall...good use for the stones and it looks so pretty....he compares it to making a puzzle finding the right stone to fit in the right place...other than that a quiet day....

Good morning Kitty.  Was cold here to work on a stone wall, 20 and dropping yesterday.

Plus we has a snow belt come through with strong winds.  Glad Brian got a chance to

work his puzzle.  Wine time with daughter sounds fun.  Don't remember if we got any

sun.  The solar lights at the puppies graves were on still when I went to bed so we must

have gotten some. 

I worked on my amplifier a little.  Ruled out a couple problems and came up with a couple

questions in my mind.  We took down the Valentine window and all the other Valentine

decorations around the house.  We put up some Saint Patrick's shamrocks, some green

bead strings I got at the parade, some green light strings, and other stuff.  My grand kids

ride in their dad's police car in the parade.  It's usually to cold for my wife to go watch but

I usually go.

Will finally go to the farm this morning.  Over two weeks so I'm over due but woke up early

the day I was supposed to go.  Appointments and weather got in the way since then.  If I

slide off the road and damage me or the Subaru I probably wouldn't go back until Spring.

Enjoy the day, sounds like the good life you're having.

Ernie

Good morning Susan and Ernie hope all is well....we are a warm 26 degrees with sunshine....grateful for sunshine....hope all is well at your house....stay warm...and is today your trip to Florida Susan?  enjoy

Good morning Kitty.  Was a very nice day here yesterday.  The three grandkids, two dogs,

and us two went down to Finch Hollow Game Preserve and walked where we could.  The

old bridge across the creek is washed out.  Most likely new people taking care of the park

since the bridge was built there.  I got a couple pictures here at the house.  I should've got

a couple at the park.  Our youngest grandson and I partially put together a transparent plastic

4 cylinder engine.  We will have to finish it next time.

A good part of today is supposed to be warm but cloudy.  Then some rain late afternoon.  I need

to go out and take care of garbage.  Hope my brother's local ride to Robert Packard Hospital comes

through Friday.  We're supposed to get a wintery mix that day.  It's about 7 hours of drive time for

me if the roads are good.

Glad we all got plenty of sunshine to enjoy the day.  Hope Susan and Jim are enjoying their vacation.

Have a great day today also.

Ernie

we are supposed to get rain today starting around noon....Brian is taking advantage of the lack of rain to move the rocks he is using for the stone wall.....the rocks are close to our house and the wall is farther away...,later we will go to our daughters about wine time....we get to put our garbage in her drive so we don't pay...one bag a week....otherwise a quiet day for me again....like those days low stress.....

Good morning Kitty.  We had good weather until the rain here also.  Stayed in the 50s all night.

Good thing, my daughter let me know her furnace failed late in the day.  I will head over there

this morning about the time she gets up.  I have experience changing the oil filter and nozzle

also bleeding air from the line years past so we should have it going quickly.  She was running

a small heater when I was over there earlier because she had the tank filled and it stirs up

sediment from the bottom of the tank.  We learned to do that about 20 years ago.

We're stocking up on what groceries and other stuff that we can in case the truckers strike gains

momentum.  Everything we eat and use comes in on trucks.  Think it starts next Monday.  I think

they have a right to strike but we still need to eat and stuff.  We will go out again Saturday and stock

up again.  We heard about it a few days ago but now it's on the news so lots of people will be stocking

up and stores will run out of things.

Glad Brian got some good weather to work on the wall.  I helped clear many fields of rocks when I was

young but never helped build a rock wall.  I saw many walls up north where people tried to settle and build

farms but the soil wouldn't support a farm up there.  So they just left or sold their land to the state and

now it's forest but the stone walls are still there.  I always feel bad for the families that did all the work

building those walls that go on for many miles.  They must have smashed their fingers a lot.  Was probably

200 years ago.

Supposed to drop into the 30s by 10 AM here so should have daughter's furnace going around then.

Hope you all have a good day.

Ernie.

love the picture....

Good morning Kitty.  Picture my youngest grandson.  We had my daughter's furnace

running and all cleaned up before noon.  I have to pick up spare nozzles and oil filters

because we used the last ones.  She texted me it was still working good last night.  Sometimes

don't get all the air bleed out of the line and have to go back and do it again

We went to the restaurant where wife and daughter ate to look for the keys wife lost

Sunday but didn't find them so have to stop and get some made today.

Today we have to pick up prescriptions, stuff at Walmart, and get keys made.

Hope you and family are doing well.

Ernie
