Good Morning!!!!!!

[deadeye]

Markn,
Only financial advice is I have never heard anyone say "damn, I built the pole shed too big".  Also, when planning the shed, allow for future lean to's.  As far as taxes go, most things for 2020 taxes needed to be done by December 31st.  There's a few exceptions like you have up until the filing date to put $$ in an IRA and have it count for last year.  Good luck with the pole shed and keep us posted on the plans.  You know we all like to have out input.

Morning boys.  It is a pleasant -7 here right now.  Man JB that is quite a temp change.  Sunday is the last day of Jan.  That is always a good feeling to me.  Feb can be bad but I feel we are over halfway once Jan is gone.  We have to run to town today to do some errands.  That is pretty fun with both dogs in the truck with me.  It gets a little smoother every time we do it.  I still haven't brought him to the bank for a dog biscuit yet.  I don't want a fight in the truck over it.  LOL  Although the other day Cooper finished his food and ran over to Buddy's bowl and started eating and Buddy just backed up.  ????  That wouldn't have happened a month ago.  Things are progressing.  Have a good day all!

Mornin boys, seen -5* in the garage ~ 7 & it looks like somewhere around 15* will be the high today. Got a call yday mornin from the neighbor & he was on his way up here, so I stopped over to see him in the afternoon. Some tentative plans were made to put his wheelhouse to use today, later on. That's 'bout the only thing on my horizon today. Hopin your Thursday's a good 1

[markn]

Went down to read the gas meter this morning and the wind was cold. Oh well... the days are getting longer. Head to town to get a recall done on the pick-up at 2:00 today and then might have to stumble around fleet farm for a bit to see if there's something I might need there.

Mornin' gang! 7 at choretime heading for a high in the upper teens. No newbies overnite altho there was one ewe holed up inside before I left this a.m. Phone did an update overnite tho. Hate when that happens. This time it played games by moving and combining app icons. I don't have time to figure out what kind of games they're playing. Between that and the little bastards that came up with auto-correct, I'd like to take my 3 lb. hammer to their fingers! You got it, I'm in one those moods today...

 

[glenn57]

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. -5 at our place this AM heading for 22 today. No firewood cutting this weekend so Ice fishing it will be. The kid and his woman are coming up tonight and the B-I-L will be up in the morning until Monday. Otherwise just another day in the slat mines. Have a good one boys.

[mike89]

[glenn57]

On the road again.

[LPS]

Morning boys.  Looks like we are turning the corner on temps today.  Will feel good to have a 20's day.  No big plans for the day and that is ok too.  Just gonna stay out of trouble.  My Dad is going home from the hospital today.  I hope it all goes well.  Have a good one boys.

[Jerkbiat]

Glad to here that your Dad is going home. How is the S-I-L doing Barry?

[LPS]

They haven't operated yet.  They still aren't sure it is safe to do it yet.  They got her sitting up yesterday for the first time. 

[Gunner55]

Mornin gang, TWC says we have 2* & are on our way to 22* today. I didn't get home until about 8 last night as it was after 7 when we started to come off Bowstring. The  didn't want to play very bad but it was still better than sittin home watchin TV. It was the neighbors bday so we had to  celebrate that a little. That's all from here, have a good 1!

[mike89]

good to hear about yer Dad LPS, and they must be really hesitant with your SIL.. 

[Gunner55]

  Your Dad is doing better!!

[Jerkbiat]

They haven't operated yet.  They still aren't sure it is safe to do it yet.  They got her sitting up yesterday for the first time.

Scary that it is taking this long to operate.

[Gunner55]

I have to agree JB, they must be worried that the surgery could be more dangerous than her current condition.

[LPS]

Ya that is basically the deal I guess.  It is not an easy surgery neither. 

[Dotch]

Mornin' gang! 18 at choretime heading for a high in the mid-20's. The ewe that was inside yesterday a.m. lambed, outside of course! Luckily temps were upper teens by lunchtime and the lamb was smart. He'd already tapped her on both sides by the time I penned them up. Then I had to feed the bottle lambs and pick up little peanut. She likes to grab my beard & the string on my hooded sweatshirt while looking for another bottle. 

   

[roony]

Someone loves ya Dotch.

[LPS]

That is so cute Dotch.   

[Jerkbiat]

Aaaahhhh!!!
