Good Morning everyone

Currently 28° overcast skies , High 35°

Looks to be maybe about 2" of snow on the ground here , looks very cold and slippery though !!!

Currently watching a small group of Deer in my back yard digging thru the snow looking for food

 

Good morning folks!
Power went out again in the early am just gave it some time and it came back on without having to fool with the generator again. Hope everyone is ok and stays safe today. I’m going to take a closer look at the dents in my shop later from the inside nothing was poking through and did not appear to be leaking but the gutters took a pretty good wallop and is bent some. Hopefully the roof was spared but the upper half of a pine hit the shop and broke in several pieces and is laying on the ground behind the shop I imagine there’s going to be a dent at the very least. And some fence panels around the puppy house are not salvageable but all the animals are safe dry and warm everything else can be fixed.

 

Good morning everyone! Happy Monday!

My son, his wife, and my 1yo and 2.5yo grandsons all had it over Christmas. My son is still having serious issues with a cough 3 weeks later. Scary as hell!

 

I have the day off

 

thoughts and prayers for all and your son,hope he kicks the after effects.

 

Good Morningwe are clear here today. high of 30* with wind advisory.best i can tell we got 9-10inchs. it drifted and the couple hours of sleet at the end packed it down. have a good day

 

Did your company ever get the payroll clerk to fix the mistakes?

The winds are kicking up again and the temp is starting to drop again. The snow became a thick, slushy mess this morning. My neighbor across the street hit my driveway with his snow blower, my lower back is thanking him! When I pushed the mess over the edge of the deck, it looked like a slurry. I took the 4runner out for a little rip last night, to get some coffee from Sheetz, I couldn't find any empty parking lots to practice my Hooning skills. Does anyone else find a parking lot and have a bit of juvenile fun ??

 

It's raining


Testing phase

 

We're all over 50 here. We would never do that kind of childlike stuff..
Its a proven fact here in Michigan that even doughnuts in a parking lot will attract cops...

 

So it's raining. Tarp is covering the roof on the uphill side and tucked under the tiles.

There is still a small leak.

So I stuck a bucket under the leak and I will address it when the rain stops.

Wife wants me to put another tarp up there. Won't let it go. I asked her if it's more important to stop a small leak or me falling off the roof. She wants the small leaked fixed.

Going to be a quiet day

 

Tell her you first need to change the beneficiary on the life insurance policy and then you'll take care of it...

 

morn..... uh, afternoon good folks of the 50's thread.

One of the few holidays we get off.... so slept in.

Hope all those with snow are taking it easy with shoveling.... only got ice on the trees, and now lots of dead stuff now on the ground. Didn't get any snow.

 

Tell her to haul her ass up there if she’s so smart..

 

We got hammered with wind and ice this am. Clearing now..

 

Afternoon Miss Sue. wife and i just came in. we shoveled and did the drive with the 4wheeler. was at the limit it would do. sleet had packed it so heavy so worked at it little at a time. put 140lb. sand on the 4wheeler for weight , finally got agravated and took the Taco up and down the drive to get tracks so it would get traction. but we can get out now if need be. have a good day

 

Rain stopped. Found a corner of the tarp flipped over, letting a little water in. Fixed.


Still quiet

 

Hey Susan

 

Afternoon/Evening everyone , the storm missed my area. It’s just been spitting frozen rain/snow, just enough crap on the roads to get my clean truck dirty. Truck hadn’t been washed for almost 3 weeks, was clean for a couple days.

 

the wife is playing with her insta pot she got for Christmas. trying to make lasagna.
