Good Morning!!!!!!

[Scenic]

G'morning All.   We got about 1.5" on the ground and 19 degrees. Temp has dropped 8 degrees in the last two hours.  And WINDY!!   Looks like it keeps dropping today.  Good day to spend in the shop. 

[LPS]

Morning boys.  It is 26 and like Scenic said it is gonna drop all day.  We have a good 2" of snow and 3" on the deck in spots.  Can just see some grass sticking up in spots.  What a change.  Will just keep the fire going and suck it up.  Have a good one.

Mornin all, 35 here & we might make it to 36. TWC's site says it's snowing but my brother just stuck his head out of the garage's side door & said it felt more like rain to him. It's quite glenn-like here too. Probably have a little breakfast & head for the treadmill after that. Have a good day!

[glenn57]

So it's a nice quiet morning  huh! 35 here a bit foggy. Was snow about 10 Weather advisory stuff north of us

Mornin' fellow gulag comrades! 30 at choretime, falling into the mid-20's by choretime tonite. Sounded like  some freezing drizzle this a.m. when I was done with chores but it was short-lived. Got a lot done over the weekend. Saturday I got the bunny guards on everything, got the turkey, etc., & harvested a bunch of dogwood. Yesterday I scrubbed the algae off the north side of the house & finished picking the remaining apples still on the trees. A lot were bird-picked and squishy but there were a surprising number that were in good shape yet. Salvaged half a 5 gallon bucket of Haralsons & a couple dozen Honeycrisp. Along with the SnoSweets I saved earlier, there are plenty for pies, apple crisp, etc. The sheep have been eating pretty well this fall between the ground falls and stuff I picked recently. Have an early column deadline this week so better hit 'er hard!

Went shopping last Friday.  Mullens cheese in Mossinee.

[Dotch]

Ah, I bet that Swiss is good. Have never tried Havarti but reading a little about it, sounds like it might be somewhat Swiss-like. And that's a good thing.

Went shopping last Friday.  Mullens cheese in Mossinee.

I hope you remember to stock up on mass quantities of New Glarus Spotted Cow while you are down there!   

[glenn57]

I like all those I bought. I've smoked the cub brands of all those and that's really tasty.

Spotted cow... naw I'll pass. Heard it's speedy, besides I like real beer! :rotflmao:ground is white now!!

[Steve-o]

G'luck, Glenn.

Still, if 'Sconnies know two things...  its cheese and beer.  Who else would invent Beer Cheese soup?   

[LPS]

That cheese looks great!

Morning boys.  It was 17 at 4:30when I woke up. Now it is 20. Supposed to make 24 today.  We have 2-3 inches of snow now. Snowed most of the evening last night. Just getting ready for another day I the salt mines. Haveva good one boys.

[glenn57]

Morning fellers... gonna work on cutting up deer today... figured i could sleep in a bit... but NOoo..  awake at 4;15.

[mike89]

mornin all, 9 here and could see 23 today..  winter is moving in I'd say..  not a whole lot on the agenda today..  just a few things to do..  have a good day all!!

Tossed the plow on the 1/2 ton yesterday. It didn't want to go up so I added some fluid to it and drug it into the garage and let it sit awhile. Went to town for meds and to visit a friend at re-hab at one of the nursing homes. Got home and tore the cover off the plow and now it works. What was wrong? Your guess is as good as mine. No idea. Going to grab hides today, afraid they are going to be pretty stiff. If so the boxes are coming home tomorrow. Trying to put up frozen hides really suks. Later........

[Gunner55]

Mornin boys, 18 here now & we should end up around 36. The wind has went to the west & will go more to the SW by mid-morning so it shouldn't have the edge it did yday here. Got a dentist appt today @ 9, so that's the main thing I got going on today. After that................ we'll see. Have a good day!

[LPS]

Morning boys.  The temp is rising and is at 20 now.  Very white here.  Have a few errands to run today and push some snow off the deck.  That's about it and that's ok.  Looking forward to spring.  LOL   Have a good one.

Mornin' fellow gulag comrades! 14 at choretime heading for a high in the low 30's. Finally turned the forced air furnace on yesterday. Figured I'd better vacuum it out 1st in case there were a couple bugs in it. Been running on the floor heat in the new part of the house bleeding into the original farm house. Pretty passive heat, especially when it's windy so eventually you have to bite the bullet. On the list today is getting a haircut, delivery of more Thanksgiving stuff, & taking Poppy to the vet to update her shots. Also get her toenails trimmed. She's an absolute weenie about it even at the vet's office where they have to tag team her to get the job done. After that, I'll make another foray into the CRP to procure more dogwood. There were 2 twigs left in the bucket this a.m. What do women do with all that crap? 

[Dotch]

One more thing, when I took my 102 year old buddy Lupe for a ride in the Studebaker back on the 17th, I discovered he'd recently lost his driving cap. He'd worn it to Hy Vee at breakfast one morning and forgotten it. When he went back to retrieve his cap, someone had likely taken it. I wore the one I had on that day of our cruise for the very first time. I decided to give it to him. I can always get another one. Auntie Mar Mar took it to him yesterday. His daughter said he loved it.

Morning boys.  22 here and heading for 27 it says. Another short week. Oh darn. Turkey day tomorrow.  We will do some sausage making this weekend.  I also will be doing some muzzle loader hunting  to. We will probably  pull some blinds and stands out of the woods to. Depends on the tracks I see now that we have snow. Otherwise just getting ready for another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

We have 16 hides laying on the garage floor thawing out. Starter for the JD showed up yesterday so that's on the radar for today. I'd like to get that running so it can go in the BIL's chicken coop soon. Might dig the Polaris out and take a rip around the yard too. Time to put the SxS where it was sitting and possibly get the blower for the Kubota out too. They're both under the mezzanine in the garage. Plus help out the Mrs. get ready for tomorrow, my favorite holiday. Later.......

[Scenic]

Good morning All.  18 here this morning with a bit of wind.  The lake quit steaming yesterday so I am guessing she is ready if this wind stops for a day.  Talking below zero on Fri.  Paint and clear coat day planned today.  Yesterday I sprayed primer and primary color.  I added 4 more 8' lights to the spray booth and it made a huge difference.  Just about get a sun tan in that thing now.   Have a great day and be safe if traveling for Turkey Day!   

[glenn57]

Morning fellers... 18 Herr in he land of cheese. Supposed to get to 32. Seen 2 deer after hours last night leaving the stands. They weren't the least bit bothered by the ATV running. 

Plan is cutting up more deer for trimmings. Hunt again tonight.  Hunt tomorrow morning  then make  sausage watch football and 

[mike89]

mornin all, 17 here and they say we might see 24 today..  never seen the predicted high yesterday but that is normal..  going to make a run to Alex today and I'm sure that will be a zoo..  I don't have to much to do or get so hopefully I get in and out!!   have a good day all!! 

[Gunner55]

Mornin gang, 24 here & headed for 36. I made some more appts before I left the dentist's office yday as he found a couple things I need to get taken care of. So, I'm going back next week. Nothin big on the list here, have a good day.

[Dotch]

Mornin' fellow gulag comrades! 19 at choretime heading for a high in the low 30's. Got yesterday's slate wiped clean after taking Poppy to the vet & harvesting more dogwood after that. Wasn't without its challenges. About the time I was ready to go down to the wetland, the landowner who owns the property around me decided to finish off some recreational tillage. He ran the ripper across the headlands and field margins. Left basketball-size chunks of frozen dirt to traverse for a couple hundred yards to get there. Put the Gator in low 4WD & grimace while crawling across it. Think I'll do an encore performance today only I'll go thru the pasture. That involves going thru several gates but it would sure beat the hell out of back surgery.

[mike89]

made it to town and back and it was busy like I figured..  on the way home just outside Osakis I see a fox trotting along side the road...  was he ever ugly!!!  going to guess mange or maybe even rabies... 

made an appointment for the car, the dang air pressure sensors in the tires are going bad...  time to replace them so I'll know if I have a low tire..   always something...   

hey JB how is the new car going???   

[Bobberineyes]

You ain't a kidding Mike,  I stopped by Total Wine which is sandwiched between Target and several other shops and ut was otta control!!

[glenn57]

Sure is nice and quiet out here in the deer stand!!

[Dotch]

Odd, it was nice & quiet here too up until about now!
