mornin all, 30 here and might see 40 today..  got everything I wanted done yesterday that needed to be done..  now onto todays fun..   saying a chance of snow today too..  we will see..   have a good day all!! 

[LPS]

Morning boys.  We have 11 and could see 40 today.  Hope so.  I am going to try to resist shoveling today.  Not good on the back.  I can hardly see the houses in Canada.  Foggy over there. The little birds are here feeding already.  I filled both of the feeders up yesterday.  No big plans today.  That sounds fine to me.  You all have a good one.

For the second time we had the Timberwolves game on last night whilst reading.  Kind of getting into them.  They went into overtime so I went to bed.  I see they lost 130-132.  I remember back in the late 60's early 70's my neighbors Dad liked watching BB.  We always hoped any team would get 100 points someday.  Then they finally started breaking 100.  Now way past that milestone.

I was just too lazy to look to see if we had a Wolves thread.

Mornin' fellow gulag comrades! 35 at choretime heading for a high in the mid-fitties. With weather moving in, a lot on the agenda today so hafta keep moving. Got a trailer full of hay last nite after chores that'll need to be unloaded sometime today. May be later day as I need to find time to go birthday shopping for the wife. Will move another 1st cutting bale into the ewe lot closer to the building so they can get at it weather permitting. Same with their wooden grain feeders. Then put the snowblower on. Not messing around this time. Been two years since I used it so will need to make sure everything works as it should. Supposed to be ~18 Thursday morning. May be able to use it in places so I don't peel so much sod. If nothing else it'll provide additional ballast. Pushing things uphill w/o chains can be a struggle otherwise. When it's thawed like it is they get full of mud. Rather avoid that if possible.

naw not to much katchup...........me thinks not enough of that medicinal quine dotch speaks so highly of!!!!!!!!

[roony]

I've been battling the alien since Saturday. My throat is raw and breathing is a struggle. Hope things improve soon.

[Dotch]

Been a lot of crud going around. Thought maybe we'd be over the hump soon. Been sneezing a lot lately. Can always blame that on feed and hay dust. I've been slacking on my quinine intake this week. Will have to double down on that soon! 

[glenn57]

i usally end up with sneezing, stuffed up head and non stop blowing my nose, and feeling totallt run down. i used to get hit really friggin hard. i found taking zicam as soon as i feel it coming and steady doses of musinex shortens the duration........ but still....... never realy cough alot!!

Afternoon peoples, 40 & sunny here. I haven't been able to reach MNO since early yday but it appears no one else has had that issue. So apparently, we had an issue with our server, or maybe it was a Paul Bunyan problem. Whatever, back in service now.

[LPS]

Been working good here Gunner.  Nice day today.  Must have been close to 40 or at least felt like it.  Went for a walkabout this afternoon.  Felt good and need to be walking further every day with it being nicer out. 

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 24 here and heading for 33 it says. We made 41 here yesterday it said. Was a nice evening. Didn't do much. Otherwise just getting ready for another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

[mike89]

mornin all, 29 here and might see 36 today..  got a few things todo today, biggest is helping a friend get to eye surgery, cornea replacement..  yikes!!  that's in Alex so I'll get a couple other things done over there too..   have a good day.. 

[Gunner55]

Mornin guys, presently we have 23 & they're saying we should see 36. You're a good friend, mike!!  Hope it goes well!! It's a regular Wednesday here, as we're headed into GR again today. 'Bout it here, have a good day.

[LPS]

Morning boys.  We have 16 and may get up to 33 just like JB up on the lake.  Tomorrow up near 50.  l don't have a lot going on today but am in a good book so will do some reading.  I need to vacuum out my truck one of these days too.  Used to like doing it but now it is just a chore that needs to get done.  Tried to pay the guy that changed my oil to do it but he wasn't interested.  I hope you southern guys don't get wailed on too hard.   Have a good one.

Mornin' fellow gulag comrades! 34 at choretime with temps remaining steady until later afternoon. No precip yet. I must've appeased the weather gods yesterday after stopping at the meat market, getting the Mrs. some birthday presents, moving hay & feeders around, hooking up the snowblower, then unloading hay & stacking it. Can see it's purty dark off to the south so eventually we'll see some snow. Think I'll just stay put this forenoon anyway. There's a webinar I can listen to atho it looks like it's about drones, something that's been overplayed in many places. Time consuming toys. Can easily dump 1000's of $ into one only to have it crash or lose it in a field, becoming a worthless piece of techno garbage. Nothing beats daily boots on the ground. No one wants to be that ambitious anymore I guess...   

[markn]

No brown truck with parts for skid loader yet, natives are getting restless.  I would like to get it out of garage so something else came be put in its place. I'll have to go to Wally World today to grab some tagboard to make posters for bingo, after that finish up putting stuff together for it and a couple of beers, later.......

[glenn57]

morning fellers......cloudy and breezy.....aliens still kicking me so need to lay low. 

good luck to your friend Mike!!!!!!!  i'm not real keen on people messin with my eyeballs much less doing that!!!!!!

[Jerkbiat]

Those drones they use for spraying fields look rather interesting to me. Good alternative when the fields are to muddy.

rumors have it there like trap shooting   

[Dotch]

For certain things like wet fields, under power lines, small fields, etc., the spray drones have value. They'd better for 80 grand plus the licensing fees & current medical exam requirements

[mike89]

well today's surgery went good they said..  back there late morning tomorrow for a follow-up..  sure hope goes good again like the surgery a month ago...

It was either have the cornea surgery or not be able to drive for my brother, as he had to renew his driver's license last fall. Pretty much a no brainer.

then there is cataract surgery after that!!   remember to take care of your eyes!!   

[Gunner55]

Yeah mike, with both cornea & cataract on both eyes we made a lot of trips to the Wolfe Clinic down in Marshalltown & Des Moines. Then they were so busy it was normally about 6 months out to get an appointment. So, I'll bet it was at least 2-2 1/2 years to get his eyes where they are now. Personally, I've had glasses since I was ~10 so going to the Optometrist doesn't bother me at all.
