G'Day...

4°/17°C today... marginal warming is creeping upon us...
sunny, haze (mind that the warning about Sahara dust is still out...)

home and office brew have been consumed... ☕

last night ze GF was at the gym again, feeling more and more empowered, proudly reporting
the discomfort in her musculoskeletal system having almost vanished... good, that motivates... :cool:
Some gardening tasks are scheduled for the weekend and I might also drag her out on a lengthily walk too... 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

office, dull, strange, and I doubt that it'll improve... 🤔
yeah, I'm "the old dude" upon whom every annoying, unwanted, boring tasks and duties get unloaded on by everyone... 😒
topped by genuine mushroom farm management style... right... ;)

so... methinks its time to move on... yep... :cool:

Good morning and thanks for the coffee start, Martin.

51 in Geneva, though we won't be here for long.
The bus arrives at 10:30 to bring us to the airport and home. It'll be in the 40's when we get back.

Yesterday we took a bus and walking tour to Annecy, a little south of Geneva. It made for a pleasant day.

Have a great day!

Morning all, and thanks Martin for the startup.

Safe travels Steve. I hope you don't have any plane swaps in the US. I hear the TSA lines are atrocious with the funding shutdown.

+3 here and clear, but with mixed ground fog from the snow melt. Highs later will reach +8 with sun.

Hope everyone's day is the best it can be.

Obo.
 
Thx Martin, from a fellow Monday survivor.

7˚C/45f, fog, 15mph wind from south.

Shopping for groceries, a library visit, some easy cooking, then picking up Peter .

@steve3b3 Great pictures, love to go there sometimes…safe travels home!

Doctor told me to keep my right arm up high to reduce pain and swelling, but it really makes me look like I’m wanting to invade Poland, so that’s a in-own-house- chore.

Have a good one!
Stu

Grey today…(something happened to the photo travelling between the phone and the ipad…)

Good morning everyone

Thanks for the coffee to start the day, Martin. Hope you find a more suitable place of employment.

It's 45°F and mostly clear in Rockville. I've had the windows wide open for a couple days now and it definitely feels like spring. Great overnight sleeping weather!

We're in for a high around 80 under sunny skies, with a fried egg in place of the sun according to the Windows weather app:

I'll play golf again today then hang up the clubs until next week at the earliest. Rain tomorrow and Thursday followed by a weekend excursion Friday through Sunday preclude further visits to the links.

Stay safe and well everyone and tell your dear ones you love them. Do it today, NOW, for tomorrow may be too late.
 
but... it's good to be the old dude... no one really expects much, anything beyond fogging a mirror elicits praise... plus... you have purpose... isn't that what we've been looking for all our lives?
careful what you strive for I guess, never thought it would look like that either but hey, we could have been born as goldfish
another beautiful day in the lower mainland, got out on the ST on the weekend looked up in the air and saw a black cloud,
took a short rip and brought the bike undercover seconds before sleet gusts and pounding rain which lasted all of about twenty minutes
that was the closest thing we've seen to winter so far
It's good being me, I don't knowIMG_0258.jpg about the rest of you but, hey?
Wish everyone a good one
 
Good morning, all. Coffee's much appreciated.

We've just had several days of beautiful sunshine and unseasonably warm temperatures - I believe we got to around 18°C/64°F yesterday, the highest temp on March 9th in 20 years. It was great to watch all the snow melting, hang out on the balcony and listen to the birds chirping and have the windows open all day. Alas, all good things must come to an end and it looks like the "end" will be a crash and thud. We have 4°C/39°F right now and the temps will drop steadily from here until they're below freezing again. We'll have a mix of sun and clouds this morning but the rain will start to fall around 2 p.m. Then, the proverbial, um, sleet hits the fan. We are now under a warning for a "dangerous ice storm" and it looks like they're not kidding this time. Possibility of up to 30 mm of ice accumulation from constant, heavy freezing rain from tonight to Thursday morning. High expectation of widespread power outages and damage from broken/fallen tree limbs, etc. So anything that requires going outdoors will be done today, all candles, flashlights and other emergency lighting devices will be located and placed at the ready, and phone duly charged. Oh, this is going to be fun. Not. This sort of thing seems to happen almost every year, now. Pfffftttt.

Oh, well. This, too, shall pass. Everybody have a good one, stay safe and go safely.

Patty

@Peppermint time to fill up the bathtub tonight, just in case. Maybe a few cans of flakes of ham and chicken in the pantry....

Here's what we're expecting per the Weather Network's guessers:

  • Snow, ice pellets, freezing rain and rain expected in Atlantic Canada Wednesday and Thursday
  • Heaviest snow: Northern New Brunswick with 20-40 cm possible. Western Newfoundland could see 15-30 cm.
  • Ice pellets: Highest impact in southern and central New Brunswick and P.E.I. Several centimetres are possible.
  • Freezing rain: Highest impact in southern and central New Brunswick and P.E.I. Up to 12 hours of icing is possible.
  • Rain: Southern Nova Scotia and southern Newfoundland. 10-30 mm and localized flooding possible.
  • Consider postponing any non-essential travel until the system moves out of the region
 
Good Twosday!!

Currently 65f, might reach 90! Is it really the 10th?!
March seems to be slip, sliding away!!

Everyone seems to be facing some scrutiny of current pressures, whatever it may be.. Good luck with it! 😃

I am afraid the high costs of everything we have struggled with.. are going to seem like glory days compared to what appears to be coming.
Speaking of Glory days.. it appears we are getting closer than ever. 🙏

This forum is proving to be invaluable for me and my ability to keep up with my ST and it’s much appreciated!! Thank you!

One of my grandkids, one year ago now.. went from being the brightest, most insatiable 6 yr old little girl you’d ever meet.. into the nightmare of what having leukemia is about. I mean it when I say don’t sweat the small stuff, to this day she still.. is the most brightest, insatiable little girl you’ll ever meet.
It’s the small stuff that means the most. Embrace the small stuff, it can be so fleeting and it not until its gone, you see what you missed.

Okay.. now I need to lift the moment. Sorry about that but sometimes it just helps to say something when there’s lack of real words that actually traverse the house, that now.. have all disappeared.. and I see it comes with retirement, or old age..
Whatever, I Don’t Care! 😂

I have had to learn how to cook. 🤪 yes cooking was a major thing in this house.. look closely..
Every one of them, is a cook book!
See something you like, I’ll send it to you, had twice as much.. gave them away.

Crazy good food, all her, all I did was partake, all my life, never had to cook, never learned.

Boy has that changed, talk about things we would of done differently!

You know you can actually get sick of eating out all the time? No worries though, right now no one can afford to do that!

I have said enuf, I talk too much, apologies.

Everyone take care!
If it isn’t important 5 yrs from now.. it’s not worth worrying about.. Move on.
 
Morning Martin & All from mixed clouds and Sun, in Southern Utah!

Currently it is 46F, up from 34F and heading for 63F. The winds are already blowing from the SSW @ 5 to 10mph. And later, a little stronger from the WSW @ 15 to 23 mph.

Steve, hope you and Brenda's flight home is a good, comfortable flight and no issues.

Ndfrc, sorry to hear about your granddaughter.

I cleared out the area where I'll be putting the greenhouse. I now need to figure out the leveling, and I'll have to go pick up some 4x4s for the foundation. I have some other ideas for it as well, we'll see if they pan out.

Breakfast, once Chris wakes up. Pepsi(s) for later.

Anyone :dr13:, have a great day on the roads! :hat3:
 
Morning all! Grey and wet here again. Snow was forecast for yesterday but didn't arrive in our neck of the woods. I did scoot home on the ST early yesterday after spying a large dark cloudbank roll in and worked from home for the rest of the day. Motorcycles and snow do not mix well. Decided to stay put today as we have to go to my daughter's dance recital (she's a teacher...coach?) for 5 pm in the City. Currently 2C here with a high predicted of 6C and potentially some wet snow that won't accumulate.

Stoo, you need one of those slings that holds the hand up near your shoulder.

Steve, awesome pics, sounds (and looks) like you guys are having a great time.

Ndfrc, I am really sorry to hear about your granddaughter and here's hoping she makes a complete recovery. Kids are so tough and resilient.

It appears my home gym construction will be put on hold for a bit; the kids are having a bit of a get together for my daughter's boyfriend's birthday and my office (soon to be home gym in addition) will be needed for sleeping quarters which means I need to pack up various bits and pieces of the squat rack as well as implements of destruction (aka tools).

Hope everyone has a great day!
 
G'mornin' (barely) from SoMD!

It was an early start in order to get Princess #1 out the door for a teeth cleaning surgery and have her rear suspension looked at since she's been looking shaky-legged lately. Was cool early, but already 70F/21C. Hit the coffee early on, then some more huevos rancheros to fuel up. Thanks Martin! WFH again with various chores sprinkled in there.

Maybe one which even pays the salary on time... 😒

That's usually red flag #1 to get ready to jump ship. Sorry to hear. When everything falls to you to get done, that means everyone else has already left. Could be a power play for more money, at least until a) you quit, or b) they don't pay which reverts back to a). GL!

Take care y'all!
 
Good Morning I guess, Yeah having trouble waking up, Cold outside 2 C with a feels like -2 C , raining and 16 mph winds from the SSE. Which made taking out the Garbage miserable. Thanks Martin for coffee and good luck with the career move. Safe travels Steve and Brenda,me liked the pictures. Waiting for a call from a bike shop about tires for the ST , Amazon has Bridgestone's for about 550 which seems to be a reasonable price.
Nd prayers for your Granddaughter, may she recover and live a awesome life. G
