Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[Sir Henry]

Looks like Covid now makes your limbs fall off as well!

It even effects trees.

One more nice-ish day then Friday supposed to be a windy raw meanie... guess I will take the chainsaw out again and cut more fenceline out like I did yesterday... then stay inside Friday if I can and hide from the wind... speaking of hiding... the best "hiders" I know are big buck whitetails... last year I showed some huge shed antlers I found on my moms place.. never had seen the buck at all... this year about the same story.... no one in area had seen him after he came out of velvet... then in November a bow hunter had an encounter with him about a mile east of my moms place... couldn't get him shot... he (the buck) disappeared and no one saw him all though the gun seasons... then the other morning I turned the cattle into a 18 acre woods pasture that I had held them out of all fall . Its upstream of my 87 year old mothers house about a quarter mile...
about 8:30 in the morning she looked out her front room window and there went the big buck right past her house down the creek another quarter mile to another two acre wooded patch. Im pretty sure he was in the upper wood patch and got annoyed having a big herd of cows and calves stomping all through the brush around him. So the old guy made it past all us Elmer Fudd hunters once again. He he he.... good for him. That's one reason its fun to chase after um. Have a good day. And yes, I will be looking for shed antlers again.

Gray clouds will fill the skies over CT today. It's 29° in the backyard this morning and it will rise into the upper forties by this afternoon after a 60% chance of showers that may include a bit of snow.

The first cup of tea is nearly gone. I'll have my usual breakfast shortly and venture out of house later to bring Paige to the vet for her monthly mani/pedi.

Enjoy your day. Be careful out there.

Sir Henry, man what a mess. I see all the smashed clay pots. Is that your place?

Ozarkwoodswalker, you need to name that buck Walter. Walter was the elusive monster fish in the movie On Golden Pond.

20 right now heading to the mid-30’s with sunshine predicted. Of course daylight is over an hour away.

Yesterday’s wind storm ended up being fatal. A woman was crushed in her car on the south hill of Spokane. She was driving along a street in a very heavily wooded area of Spokane and a large Ponderosa Pine up-rooted right onto the front seat area of her car. Another person in Idaho was on the highway and a tree fell on his truck sending it off the road which was fatal. A guy on our local guntrader page just posted he’s looking for a contractor as a tree fell on his house. Personally I don’t have any issues but the worst of the storm was south of me.

Early doctor appointment this morning then it’s home to pack up and head to the range. Should be a good day for shooting. Coffee for now and will probably grab a drive thru breakfast sandwich on the way home from the doc.

No coffee yet but soon.
Mid 30s here with drizzle which they say will turn to snow later today.
I am dealing with a condition called a Candida Infection. It's a yeast infection that causes my lower legs to
feel burning hot when I go to bed. It feeds on carbohydrates and sugar so I am off all of that. That's why
no cookies. So far I haven't been able to beat it but there's no more Makers Mark in the evening and no
beer at all. My diet is mostly proteins and things like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, green beans, salads, ect.
I'm adapting to this diet as I have no choice right now, but I yearn for some sweets.

Carol is doing her best to make this stuff palatable for me. Bless her heart.

53 here on the Gulf this am and headed to 72. Should be a great day to be outside. I like all those veggies she’s giving you Coop. Hope you get it under control

Carol just made me fried eggs with "Parnals Old Folks Sausage" and coffee. Sadly no toast and jelly,
but this is good anyway. Also a can of V8.

big day on tap for us .... 41 this morning, no frost but a heavy dew .... already up to 52 on its way to 67 under a beautiful cloudless sky .... the mobile RV/Vehicle mechanic we have come to trust is scheduled to be here this afternoon .... he's coming to work on our camper's oven along with a couple of other things .... he's also going to try and find the truck's coolant leak .... if he can repair it on site, he's got the job .... if not, he'll recommend a local garage .... we brought 2 racks of ribs with us from home and plan to smoke the second one today .... breakfast of fried eggs, sausage brought from home, sliced fresh tomato and Folgers flowing freely through a Henry mug

[BigAl52]

Hope you get your problems resolved Jim. We are in good shape here on the gulf. A little breezy today but going to be 72. I see they have a mobile RV repair guy come here also and I see the same one all the time. They also have a detail crew that comes out and shines up your RV. But the coolest thing Ive seen yet was the Shrimp Pimp . He brings in fresh fish and shrimp. The wife and I were both laughin over that one.

43° this morning early. Just had cereal, toast, and coffee for breakfast. Have a lot of bookkeeping items on the agenda as tomorrow is the 15th.

Woke up to really strong winds this morning, 60-70 mph gusts. 25 for a low and 36 for a high, 20 degrees cooler than yesterday. Off to see the doc today, (post Covid-19 syndrome thing), everyone have a great day!

[CT_Shooter]

Gray clouds will once again fill CT skies today. It's 33° in the backyard this morning. It will only rise into the upper forties by this afternoon. Heavy rain is expected over night tonight.

The first cup of tea is gone and a sausage patty is defrosting for my usual breakfast.

Enjoy your day. Be careful out there.

We got about three inches of wet snow overnight and it's mid twenties and windy.
Snow will stop now and wind increase for a couple days. Then warm up by Sunday.
Spose I'll have to plow.

[brm4450]

27 right now which is only 1 degree cooler than the high for today. Wind blew all night at 25-30 mph and supposed to blow that way all day. Had a 90 mph gust yesterday, I see they closed both interstates in the eastern part of the state. Grass fires popping up in western SD, fanned by strong winds. Everyone have a safe and great day.

[Hatchdog]

28 heading to mid 30’s with a pretty decent day after a brief rain/wet snow expected this morning. Had nice weather at the range yesterday with sun later turning to clouds, 40 degrees. That’s just fine for January.

Today is cleaning guns and getting some dirty brass in the tumbler.

My visit to the Doc two days ago showed my A1-C about where I expected after a holiday season of over-indulgence. Time to get back on the right track.

[JEBar]

another cool but beautiful morning on Lake Conroe .... 51 on its way to 60 later today with a strong wind advisory from "9 AM this morning to 6 PM CST this evening .... gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects, tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result" .... breakfast once again made of pull off the bone meat from Baby Back Ribs, eggs seasoned with our SPG, sliced tomato, and Folgers .... sadly, no more ribs on tap any time soon ..

[markiver54]

You need to open a campground resteraunt ...that looks great; once again.

[BigAl52]

Breezy here 52 right now headed to 63. Gotta go get batteries for the Dodge today as the ones I have decided they are tired and want to retire. Glad I had my Lithium jump starters with my they have paid for themselves already.

[Grunt67]

Jake, you obviously look better than the avatar, LOL. Have a great day pard.
