38° this morning and light rain fog

39 and a couple inches of rain did in the snow cover.
Off for hip replacement class and pre op testing.
Hey – at least it’s finally March !!

82 degrees here yesterday.
looks like 80 today.

Just saying

Got my 2d Covid shot Friday morning. No after effects.

33° rain on the way.
Still lots of snow on the ground but starting to see some bare spots

39 and rain. The only snow left is the piled up and drifted places.
Sorry to get an email from Mike saying their 46 acquisition fell through.
I went to visit his museum 2013 when the 262 Old Tigers had a reunion in Dallas he invited me over. I took some pilots and they all had a ball trying to squeeze into an OV-10 again.

Stayed above freezing all night at 40 and heading to 50 the next two days. Snow should be gone this week for sure and hopefully I can get tractor and cart out for a couple stumps I had ground up and haul the chips away for getting in some grass seed this spring.
No shot reaction around here from either brand.

Well, the great weather didn’t last. Knew it wouldn’t but it was really nice for a while. Rain is back and the temps are dropping….
Did get some porch railing painting done, slow and tedious, but the first coat is on there. Might try to straighten the garage and shop some.
Have a great week end Marines!
S/F

26° and sunny.
Felt like sh!t all day yesterday took a couple of ibuprofen last night feel great this morning.

23 heading to 40 again. Starting to see grass again.
Jardo , you must have gotten the Pfizer vaccine with 3 week wait. I get my 2nd Moderna on Wed at 4 weeks.
The wife gots her first yesterday also and was told to come back on the 18th.

37° sunny and windy
Got my first covic shot yesterday. The arm is a little sore but not bad.
No worse than all the shots we got in bootcamp. Second is 3-17

27 heading for the 40’s. Don’t want to get too excited or too warm as March and April are critical for the fruit crops.
I hope everyone is correct about easy hip surgery Joe. I still need to line up the clearances from Doctors.

Good luck with the shot Jardo, I never felt a thing. The VA is doing a much better job that the state around here.

Dale,
Thanks for the Snap-On info. However the guy I was supposed to meet showed up yesterday. The price to rebuild was nearly what I paid new for it 20 years ago, but now they’re more than double that now and it’s the best air ratchet on the planet, as far as I know!!
Dale, as I ‘ve said here before, the hip rehab is far easier than a knee, say the guys that’ve had both, and their doctors, so there must be something to it. Hope yours goes well and as easy as possible!
Well, I bitched about rain and cold much of this winter season, but today it’s already 62* on the way to, get this, 72*!!! Unreal ! May actually get some painting done! Need to trim some trees and burn some wood trash stuff. Maybe not today, but soon!
Stay safe and warm!
S/F

33° and going to hit 40 today.
Going to try and get my first covid shot today at the VA clinic in Newington

27 into 40’s again today. Snow is packing down well , should see the grass again in a couple days.
Hip guy wants to do a replacement next month. At this point I just want the pain to end and be able to walk again.

Joe Reed – here’s a snap-on site: http://www.snaponequipment.com/CustomerCare/zipcode_finder/default.asp

Going to mid 60s today!! Come on spring!
Water still standing in low portions of the yard but starting the slow drying off process.
Cardiologist rescheduled for the third time. Now it’s off in March.
Okay, I have stuff to do anyway.
Hope your hip guy helps, Dale. Wish It’d warm up for you northern folks.
Chased some parts for Carole’s Mustang earlier in the week need to find a Snap-On tool truck for some warranty and an air ratchet repair.
Have a great week Marines!!
S/F

31° and partly sunny. Of to get a haircut this morning

Felt good yesterday in the mid 30’s . Now if we can do 30’s daytime and 20’s nighttime for a while it will be a nice slow snowmelt without flooding which happens with too fast a warmup.
Off to see hip guy at 0800.

24° and snow rain on way.
Hasn’t been above freezing since?

Well we made it to 32 finally yesterday and even started some roof melt.
Still 32 this morning but it’s snowing again. I looked out the window and climbed back in bed.

16° and sunny. Trying to find a small hose for my battery powered vaccum

No new snow – bright sunshine – TWO degrees

26° bright sunny day. Rain on Monday
Have to go clear the driveway. About 4″ total

Still Groundhog Day here – again and again and again
12 and another fresh coating – again
They say it’ll be above freezing at 35 tomorrow – but I’ll believe it when I feel it.

Dale
I seem to remember you doing a bunch of work for your daughter and son in law a while back. Bet they’d be happy to reciprocate!! Being a good guy does have its advantages at times.
Not supposed to rain today! I’ll believe it when I don’t see it ! Lol!
Have a great week end Marines!! Ours is supposed to be clear!
S/ F

24° and about 1-2 ” of light fluffy snow.
Maybe another 1″ before it ends

30’s sounds cold for Georgia also Joe. How’s that fireplace you put in the other year working out ?
I need to get to the wood pile out back to restock my bin at the shed but definitely too much snow for tractor and cart and I ‘d never be able to handle a wheelbarrow and cane at same time. Have to invite daughter to Sunday dinner and put son in-law to work.
Another coating overnight here. The weather gal said since December 1st that 70% of the days have had snow anywhere from 1 to 10 inches .

30s and rain for the last few days, but I guess that’s better than you folks up North have to deal with. I do feel sorry for those folks in South Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. They just flat don’t have the resources to deal with the weather that they’re having!!
Hang in there and stay, warm, safe and healthy!!

26° and the snow will be here by noon and last till the end of Friday

Jardo, winter is hanging tough this year – but have you seen the reports for Texas? All the way down to Houston and Galveston is getting hit. I would think being in hurricane country people would be set up with generators.
The wife thought she had a shot lined up about 50 miles away – but then got notified her appointment was canceled.

21° and not going above freezing today.
More snow freezing rain coming for tomorrow and Friday. OH Joy!

8 degrees but no more snow or ice overnight and it’s just high clouds. When I think of all the 0400 to 0600 mornings pulling out in this stuff heading down some shitty roads overloaded and thinking nothing of it – makes me really feel old now.
They keep saying we’ll get up to normal 39 for this time of year but it’s been over a month since we got up to 32 so I gotta head out and get some more salt today and some more deer corn for the 4-6 inches they say are coming tomorrow.

38° and rain, no ice since we are on the warm side of the low
Supposed to clear up by noon

28 and we got the ice last night. Between the ice storm two years ago and the power company putting in new poles and wires this summer I have no more trees to give me any power problems out front.
No walking and definitely no HOT tubbing this morning. Just threw some magic salt on the steps and sidewalk out back and need to let it works awhile before getting to the garage and driveway.

Still raining and in the 30s-40s down here. Supposed to drop to the low 20s tonight and clear off tomorrow. Hope so.
Stay warm and safe Marines!
S/F

got the chems set in the hot tub, 99 degrees in the tub, 44 degrees outside. Rain finally stopped.

31° and freezing rain on the way
Got to37° yesterday so wife and I went for a 3 mile walk. Felt good

21, sitting here watching the snow come down – again…
A couple days ago the talking heads on tv were crying wolf about all the snow coming – today – well – it’s moved this way or that way and we won’t get as much but probably more ice than thought. I think it’s just a conspiracy by the grocery stores to get everyone stocked up on toilet paper.

29°and overcast. We may get above freezing today

Low 40s and rain for us, again. Been that way all week except for one dry day. May be dry enough to get something done on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines day! Daytona 500 is set to go, if it stays dry. May watch some of it.
Have a great week Marines!
S/F

My goodies worked! Looks like I may even get breakfast made !!!

18° and partly sunny. Snow on the way for tomorrow

Same here jardo – only no sun (again) -can’t get today or tomorrow forecast because all they want to talk about is what-possibly-could be -a maybe -we think is going to happen on Monday and Tuesday.
That’s my sound off rant for today cause I need to get out and buy a card and something for tomorrow.

11° and sunny more snow for the weekend

20 and cloudy but at least no snow overnight to clean up.
Which is good since six year old grandson is coming for the day to tire me out.

Dale
I haven’t had a hip done but those that have tell me they are easier than knees. I have a bad hip but it’s not bad enough, yet.
Hope if you decide to do it that it won’t take you too long.
S/F

Had to house sit this morning for my Daughter in law.
No heat they changed the blower motor. All is well

18 and a couple more inches overnight. I lucked out road wise the two mornings I had to go out this week as I didn’t have any snow to shovel.
The back surgeon says he’s done with me – but – I need to see da hip guy. X-rays show bone on bone.
It never ends.

Weather yesterday was great!! 66* and sunny! BUT the rain starts today and goes for the next week!! What a year/season!
better than the cold and snow I suppose…
Maybe next week will be better towards the end.
S/F

10° and P cloudy
Had a bout 2″ yesterday of the light and fluffy kind
Getting the fluids changed in my 06 F150 today
OH! forgot , I finally got my new hot tub last Saturday. Only took a year since I ordered it

19 and no new snow to clean up. We already have hit our average season total
Off for 0800 follow up with surgeon, I need to find out what the pain on the side of my hip is that keeps me attached to this cane.

13° this morning and snow on the door step.
Going out to get an oil change, then more snow blowing

Snow day around here. It doesn’t really affect the schools anymore as they just all say “remote instruction – no bus transportation “. I lucked out yesterday as the VA sent me 40 miles for an Echocardiogram and had dry roads in the teens.
Another viet vet was waiting – said he’s had two heart attacks and the VA still keeps denying him ???? I told you guys the Pittsburgh RO says no to everything.

Dale, you and Jardo and I picked it correctly didn’t we??
I’d bet The Patriots staff are crying in their beer. Brady and the whole team looked and played like a Super Bowl championship team last night.
Hope my Falcons draft smart. We need some help and with. The fourth pick we should do really well. Don’t know about the new GM and coaches though. We’ll see……
Have a great week Marines!
S/F

13° and about 10″ on the ground.
I said it was going to be a blow out but no one believed me

Congratulations to the Bucs —. I can only hope that Belichick is choking on it.
The defense deserves a big part of that MVP for shutting the Chiefs out of the end zone which I don’t think anybody saw coming.

31° supposed to snow but we have nothing so far.
Go Tom

21 and flurries flying around.
I’m neutral on the game and just want it to be tight till the end.
That said, nothing would please me more than the Patriots organization being humiliated with Brady winning another one.

More rain yesterday and this morning. Don’t recall ever seeing a winter season so full of rain, down here.
Supposed to warm up tp the 50s today. Hope it does.
Hope your team wins the Super Bowl. I’m going with Brady and the Bucs. We’ll see how it goes.
Enjoy your Sunday. Only 5 more weeks of winter, they say….

The VA sent me a message saying they will schedule me for the shot next week

Wife has been searching everyday everywhere for a shot with no luck.
Political hacks in charge say to be patient – day after day after day………
Antidotal evidence seems to be you have to be connected – relative at pharmacy – friends at clinic etc. for people we know.
First time in my life the VA has done anything positive for me.
I told her she’ll probably have better luck if we can ever get to FL.

23° and sunny. Snow for tomorrow
Delivering the new hot tub today. Old one lasted since 2003.

Overcast and constant drizzle- low 30s this AM.
Figured if I survived the Anthrax sot- most painful shot ever, I can handle anything.
Heard maderna 2d shot has some side effects- going for my 2d end of month.

26° and dry for now. Supposed to get snow /rain.
Wife is doing OK after second shot

Warmed into the 30’s overnight and rained some. Temps back into the 20’s before big cool down this weekend.

I’m thinking there may be stuff in the shot that I don’t want. Haven’t decided for certain yet. Hope everyone is good to go afterwards. Think Hydrochloroquine will fix me up should I come down with it. Hope none of us ever have to find out!!
Nice weather here today. No rain until tomorrow. Highs in the mid 40s. Not quite dry enough to paint the porch stuff yet.
S/F

26° overcast, Going to be sunny and in 30’s
Rain tomorrow. Wife getting her second shot today

10 and clear – no shoveling today. No reaction from shot. 4 weeks till second dose.
We have been wanting to drive to FL and between Doctors and Dentists and C&P Exams we were thinking we could go around the 18th but now I have to be here for next shot, and at least I can get them.

26° and flurries. Had about a foot yesterday

No NEW snow – the wild winds just blew all the old snow back into the driveway and sidewalks.
Heading up to the VA for my Trump Juice !

We have a heat wave 32° this morning.
Have to go and snow blow

I’m complaining about my teens chill when you guys are in the single digits…I’ll shut up now, stay warm and healthy.
Congrats on the blower operation Dale. Sometime the small things are the ones that count!

Relax jardo – Punxsutawney Phil – the procrastinator of procrastinators – had not been able to see his shadow with all the snow coming down and therefore – Spring is just around the corner! (six-seven weeks or so)
I was able to handle the snowblower through six inches yesterday, took twice as long as I used the low speed and the reverse rather than just pulling it back, but I did no harm so I’m heading back out this morning for another three or more where it’s drifted with 9 degree wind-chill.
And as my buddy Gomer would say – Sirprize-Sirprize-Sirprise! The Butler VA hospital called and can give me a shot tomorrow.

24° and snowing, about 4″ so far and more on the way
