Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[Shakey Jake]

Looks nice Coop! It was 55° this morning so it will be a warmer day today. The general just got home from work so we'll go to the local Home Depot and get the fence post and quick crete to set them. I'll also pick up some necessary tools. My electric hand saw got ruined last year when the pipes burst so I'll need to pick one up. Haven't decided yet whether to purchase or rent a framing nailer. I guess I'll make up my mind when I get there. I'll also see if they can deliver the other fencing materials since I no longer have a full size truck. Cooked bacon, flapjacks, and coffee this morning.

It was low teens this morning and high teens now. Wind is whipping pretty good.

Coffee is late today so it's from the Keurig in the metal mug.

I got up early and did snow blowing in my driveway so I could go to physical therapy. A stop for diesel fuel, then the Deere dealership for some sheer pins for the new snowblower as one side already needed one and then off to the local NAPA for diesel anti-gel. Back home and snow blowing the step son's driveway, bring in their packages, return fiance's car to m house after cleaning up my driveway extra nice and then now a cup of coffee.



I hope your day is nice.

It was 2F most of the day, tomorrow heads back up to near 40.

Those shear pins sure break easy....but I guess that's the point.

FYI, at work the Maint. Dept. only ever provided me with grade 2 bolts instead of oem shear pins. Never had any issues using them. I would have to redo my sidewalks after the county came by on their second pass and plowed the snow from the street onto the sidewalks so my snowblower got quite the workout.

Still 42 degrees but falling down cold for two days then low teens or single digets for lows at night.....sounds a like like wintertime to this old feller. Supping coffee and planning on inside stuff except for the cow feeding. Best of luck and success in you alls projects today

Yup, and always when you forgot to get any for the new machine

Funny thing dave, the dealership looked up the model and the fellow went to the parts bin, and came back with a small box. I had asked for a half dozen after he said each side took one and the auger took one. I figured that would hold me. In the truck, I took a look and they looked just like what you were given with the nylon coated nuts to keep them on. I hadn't looked at the manual yet to see where they went. They don't go through the rod like all the other blowers I've had. Interesting. When I broke the bolt, it was from the build up from the plow at the road. No rocks or sticks.

Tempos will be just above freezing most of the day.

Coffee in my thermos today as I wait for a crib / bed for my granddaughter to be delivered at their house. The box is huge and heavy and no way I can get it from the curbside to the house in my present condition, so grandma had to pay a little extra to have it brought into the house. Of course baby is having her 1 yr checkup today so I have to wait for the delivery. With a commute time of under 30 seconds, it wasn't difficult, lol.

I hope your day is good today. Enjoy it.
