Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[JEBar]

56 under a cloudless sky on its way to 82 later today .... our home AC is on the blink, I'm thinking of moving back into our camper .... a bit of a different morning for us .... our daughter had to drive to north Raleigh early this morning to get her second Covid shot so my wife got up early and walked over to her home to watch her son .... it appears they are sleeping in so breakfast will become brunch .... we are still working our way through a To-Do list that built up during our time in Texas .... don't anticipate seeing the bottom of that list for a while .... thunderstorms supposed to move through during the early afternoon .... they are predicted to move in and our for the next 3 days

48, overcast, dreary. Not going to clear up till next week.
Oh well, last week we had danger of fire. Not anymore.
Coffee, sausage and egg with toast.
Watching Duck Dynasty.

29 heading to 50 or so with light overcast and filtered sun. Supposed to be nice today, windy and cold tomorrow and Sunday is the start of a really nice week with sunshine and temps up to the mid 60’s.

Finished cutting and stacking my firewood yesterday and today I will be cleaning up the remaining mess. Then I’ll service my splitter and get to it!

Near stack is what I cut this week and the far stack is what I cut last fall. I’ll split the far stack for burning this coming winter and the near stack will be split and burned next year. I know I may be crazy but I enjoy doing this work. Good to be outside and getting a workout with a return.

On the local news this morning it was reported our Sheriff is trying to recruit lateral transfers from Portland, Seattle and Denver by putting up large billboards in those communities. Our weather guy said the Denver billboard should read, “You got a foot of snow and we have 60 degree sunshine”.

Saturday morning looks like low 30's, snow flurries....perfect weather to make smoke at the range. Thermos of hot tea, some local made beef jerky and my long rifle....

Ranch roper you hardy soul! Snow?! Yikes! I finished feeding hay last week and cows are on green spring grass and was I ready for that! I sup my coffee and be glad and thankful turkey season is about upon me rather than more snow!

45º with a high of 70º today and rain most of the day. Should get the grass growing. Guess I should swap out the snow blower for the mower deck.
I am starting a 8X8 foot three sided C shaped raised planter for the soft sided greenhouse coming Monday. I will bolt the supports to the planter to try to keep the greenhouse in my county. I priced cedar lumber and decided to only use the cedar for the box on top and build the riser out of steel angle and tubing to reduce the cost. 1"X 6"X 16 foot rough sawn planks sell for $44, it amazes me that it is cheaper to use steel that wood. Enjoy your weekend.

Morning. Good job Hatch, little warm around here now for that kind of work. I like it better when it's a little cooler.
Ernie, yep lumber is skyrocketing, sure glad I don't need much and sure wouldn't want to have a big project. Talking with one of our contractors and he says that right now any house being built is worth less than what it actually cost to build.
If building say a $150,000, you will have to have roughly an additional 50 to 60 k.

It's 61 here in Saltillo this morning and has been raining since last night. Suppose to stop around mid morning but still some chances throughout the day. Should make for a messy day of events, pretty cool watching them shot the 1841 8 pounder yesterday. Here's a picture of it coming in yesterday morning.

61 on its way to 81 later today .... clear now but thunderstorms are supposed to move in this afternoon .... regular breakfast has come and gone .... Folgers remains .... morning outing to haul off trash and then buy more supplies to create more trash .. .. practice T-ball with 5 year old grandson will have to take place sometime ..

[cooperhawk]

42 and overcast. Light winds. Supposed to stay gloomy for another week. At least it's not snowing.
Coffee with toast and jelly.
Inside work today. Looks like I'll have to get the mower ready pretty soon.

38 heading up into the 40’s and very windy. Looks like storm clouds moving in.

Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another that.......

A store west of Spokane has primers in stock. The same store has a local branch so at 9:00 this morning I plan to be there to see if our local branch has any. I’m not out but adding a few can’t hurt. 200 limit per customer I understand. Then on to Spokane to get a hydraulic oil filter for my splitter. Funny, the equipment dealer I’m going to to get the filter is located right in between two full line sporting goods stores. You know what that means.

67° headed towards 85°. Going to get some work done today. Still procrastinating on taxes. I'll have to get those done this weekend sometime.
Just had cereal and coffee this morning.

Didn't get to the range this morning, tomorrow instead. How The West Was Won is on TCM this afternoon, always enjoyable.

[RanchRoper]

11F this morning, off to the range shortly to make smoke.

Morning 52° here in Saltillo with full sun, mid 70's later. Going home later, need to see if the MIL's yard is dry enough to mow.

A 9 pounder, smaller more portable with a larger bore. When they shot it yesterday it would come about 3" off the ground.
