31 with a great big beautiful sun in the blue sky. Nice changed from the gloom we’ve had lately. Missed the local news this morning but I would expect with this sunshine we could see med 40’s. Nice until Friday then the rain returning. Sure wish we could get all this rain in August.

My new Bronco is at ABC Bus having the tow equipment installed
so we can tow it behind the motorhome and go south next week.
I miss it. :(
I love the new Broncos.
I've had it almost tow months and I'm still learning things about it. It has so many electronic features that you
almost need a night course just to learn them. With the 2.7L V6 It's pretty zippy as well.
The only downfall is the retail price. I was lucky to find one that was a rental return and with 23,000 mile and is
immaculate in condition. We both like it a lot.

they are sharp looking rigs


59 at 8AM on Wed Feb 11th .... they say our high today will reach 65 before dropping back to an overnight low of 29 .... next chance of rain Saturday evening through Sunday evening they are calling for rain this morning but the weather radar makes that look unlikely .... nothing showing on our personal radar for today that will take us away from home ....wouldn't be surprised if an attack of cabin fever breaks out

26 with a heavy frost out there. Blue skies and sun expected all day. We should see the mid 40’s later.

Taking the dogs to doggy daycare today. Supposed to get a chest delivered today but I didn’t get a text yesterday as expected???? If they fail today this will be the third time we expected it to be delivered with no dice. Almost ready to tell them to shove it. I’ll be calling them when they open at 9:00.

The report says it was 35 overnight, but there is hard frost in open areas here, so it was colder than that. This morning and likely the rest of the day sunny and 58'. Yesterday's 53' came in at 57'.

I had a battery module in the Prius fail. Been a month long process of sorting it out. In the final stage of getting it back together enough to road test under load. Maybe today.

Fair, 23°F, Humidity 93%
Wind Speed E 3 mph
Barometer 30.20 in
Dewpoint 21°F
Visibility 10.00 mi,
Partly sunny, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 45.
South southeast wind around 5 mph.
Got the Bronco back yesterday with the tow mode installed very nicely.
Today looks very nice so we'll start getting ready to leave. With weather
this nice it seems silly to go south, but.. this is still Minnesnowda and if
you don't like the weather, wait ten minutes. It will change.

Good looking Bronco Coop, should tow well.

25 this morning with an overcast day forecast. A thinner overcast that might let some filtered sun in but nothing like yesterday’s beautiful blue skies. High should be in the low 40’s depending on how much sun we get.

Good day to pull the motorhome out of the shop and run the chassis motor and the generator. I try to do this once a month in between rain/snow storms.

34' and hazy sunny this morning. Probably colder, there is hard frost in open areas. Haze should burn off and be sunny rest of the day. Maybe 55'. Yesterday's 57' was really 59'. Likely warmer right here. No coat or hat needed. Rains return for the next few days.
