Started the day at 32° on its way up to mid 40s.

The plan for today, if it doesn't get changed is to get the chipper shredder in action, we have a medium sized pile of trimmings I would like to get chipped before they get covered in snow.

Yep, get them shredded and stored in the corner and Donkey will love them this winter!

My chores and then some are done for today, I Quit!!!
3 trips on the roof to first clean gutters, then check and clean sticks off the roof and patch a couple a spots and then to seal and reattach the ridge vent.
1st trip to the barn to measure for a piece of wood and back to the house to cut and water seal said board.
2nd trip with crowbar to remove something and measure for another board.
3rd back to the barn and attach the 2rn board I cut.
4th trip to the barn and install 1st board that had dried!
Somewhere in there I had to move a couple a big pieces of junk out of the barn!
Shower had and now relaxing!

OH, and there was a Big Dog afternoon Nap in there as well.

Evening Tim and it was! But that should have several things kicked off the list and I may be safe for several weeks before it shows up again!

We've got about 2 weeks of cold and wet and high winds forecast for us here in the corner. Not looking forward to that at all.

It's the old Bomb Cyclone thing. I wonder how long that term has been around?

Well, we got snow last night, not much but enough to cover the yard. They say we could get several inches tonight through tomorrow.

Nice photo Preston

Yesterday I got a couple problem gutter downspouts cleaned up, weed wacked about 100' of the creek and broke the beginnings of a beaver dam. I sleptreally good last night.

Today I skipped my nap and went to a junkyard up north that had a bunch of Ford trucks to pull parts for his project truck and parts for my project ranger. We had a really successful trip and grabbed a bunch of goodies.

Now I'm back home all day for this crazy storm to roll thru.

Tomorrow I'll clean up whatever gets messed up tonight and then get back to creek cleanup.

Evening Tim, Ken, Wayne and Preston. Hope you don't get too much snow that can cause a lot of extra effort.

Preston, that sure is a wide open space.

Ken, a junk yard with Ford trucks sounds fun. They are getting fewer around these parts.

Good thing school was canceled because I'm going to need help I'm sure to clean up this battlefield!

Happy Hump Day Washington, Tim, Preston, 350 Ken, Ken, Steve, Wayne and all the crew. I hope everyone make it through the storm without any problems or damage.
350 Ken, I hop the power is back on soon and all is well.

In my woods yesterday it was wet! We received about 1/2 inch of needed rain with fairly mild temperature of 65°, no breeze/wind and for the most part, when I had to be out in the rain it was light. I stopped about 1400 and then the FOG set in. That finally burned off about 0900 today and I have seen a little sun already. It was a mild morning at 56°, headed to 65° again, maybe a brief rain about 1200 and this afternoon some wind and that will drop the temperature into the 50's. Then maybe tomorrow through the weekend the Soothsayers say maybe some white sheet may fall. I am doubting it will be anything but flaks in the air! LOL

Preston, nice Picture and interesting cloud formations and sun trying to peek through!
