i'm going to be just hanging out at the house waiting for stuff to break. it was -40 f at 10 last night and it's supposed to just keep falling all day. my digital weather station only goes to -40 so now i only have the mercury one on the deck to rely on...it's at -49 below. i got the woodstove cranking and am forcefeeding it dry spruce. dogs don't even want to go out..Bill w

Got up at 6am this morning. Already went grocery shopping, (haven't done that in a while so I needed a few things.) Got laundry going and washed the floor in the kitchen already. And it's just 8:30 in the morning. :biggrin:

Slept pretty solid last night for a change.

I work today and am now going to tomorrow as well.
Really wanted Inauguration Day off but first things first.

Will have the weekend at home though.

Looks to be good weather too, upper 50s and 60s.

Oh, I'll be able to see some of it before I leave for work, and throughout the day I'll be looking at every teevee around, then catch up on what was missed on my breaks.

Where did this energy come from. Laundry put away bed made, and a run to the pharmacy across the street. 10:40 am and my day is complete. :clap::clap::clap:

I know, his feet hit the floor running early and he hasn't stopped!! I'm willing to bet the old boy ain't been this happy since Ronald Reagan sent Mr. Peanut packing his bags. :yum:

Damn Bill, that is brutal. Keep those fires stoked. The coldest I have ever recorded on my Davis Weather Station is -37.7F and that was nuts.

We were at -40c here just last week. It's now +2c today. I can sure feel the weather change. If this keeps up we'll be camping in early April.

Nice day, all things considered.
Jesse the super duper therapy doggie made my day...:flowers:

I did get to see some of the pre-Inauguration festivities on some of the televisions.
Not much though.
Just when the soon to be first family came and were seated and then the military bands playing.
Then later, when Mr. President Tomorrow Trump was standing gazing upon the Lincoln Memorial.
I was wondering what was going through his head at that moment.

A friend and I ordered some spaghetti and meatballs and garlic bread from Pizza Hut to share.
Was just enough for both of us.

I'm tired just thinking about the next 48+ hours. Thankfully i have no appointments today. Here's what my weekend looks like so far.

After supper tonight is band practice then over to play cards with friends from camp.

Tomorrow morning is mens breakfast at church. The afternoon will be prepping for Evan's 13th birthday. Go to the church at 4 to play the service. Come home and deal with a houseful of preteens with attitude for a sleepover.

Sunday we send everyone home after lunch then clean up the disaster area in preparation for family to come for supper and cake.

Seemed like such a long day at work, but it's over and I am home and feeling happy and content.

New President, new beginnings for our country and I am full of trust and hope.

Got the coming 3 days off, which is going to be so nice.

That's about it. :smile:

A friend and I went out to eat and shoe shop.
Bob Evans for dinner.
I got the Black Angus chopped steak dinner, with a side salad.
Then a trip to Clarks.
Got a pair of these.
Comfy!

did a little shopping this morning. made some potato salad, then a friend called to ask if I wanted to play cards today. Sure I said, and we proceeded to play cards from 5pm until 10:30. We played double deck pinochle, which I have not played in over a year, but I won. The last game my partner and I slaughtered 'em. :yum::yum::yum:

I love Clark's shoes. I probably have 4 or 5 pairs but I shop them selectively. They are so comfortable and easy to wear but darn, they also make some of the ugliest shoes I've ever seen.

On topic, I did recycling for Rotary at Wamart's car park this morning. The weather was so sucky this afternoon that I cleaned a couple of guns and that was about it.

Aha!
Here I am:yum:
Moved recently and have my old place ready to put up for sale.
Now living with a friend temporarily until I see what I want to do next.
Will come back another night with more details.
Oh I am happy and feel good about this change.

Missed you all.

Hope you're not planning on moving up here. Our borders are going to be closed soon to americans. Lol[emoji12]

Meanwhile up here in the permafrost somebody had another rough night. I saw a new physiotherapist on Friday for an assessment. She had me doing some bending to demonstrate my range of motion. Just attempting to bend forward backwards and side to side once and my back has been on fire since as well as my left leg to where I can't stand more than a minute or two. So much so that I sent the wife and kids to service this morning without me.

Seems like 2017 is the year for major changes in my life.
First my doggie dies, then my computer, then some other things which I'd just rather keep to myself.
Still working, living with good friends not far from the other house.
I am actually a city block from my church- like right in the center of town.
At first I wondered if doing this was the right thing to do, but now know it is.
God knows I like life predictable, but I've been through enough changes in my life to know I can handle it.
This computer I am using is a Windows 7.
No bells and whistles.
The ads I see on the pages drive me nuts.
That'll change once I get a lap top of my own to use, soon hopefully.
:wink:

Hang in there PG. It's not easy. Everyday there seems to be some emergency to deal with around here. I am ready for spring. My truck is dying and the furnace is on the blink!:ermm:
