mornings are extremely suspicious... :coffee:

G'Day...

4°/17°C and bright sunshine today... ☀️
but temps are going to drop, snow warning for Friday... we'll see...

home and office caffeinated... :coffee:

folks are back from their Easter holidays...
and they're extremely annoying... on the roads as well as at the office (internal and external "clients"...)... pffff...

so I've decided to act age appropriate: work slowly... 😁
seriously, don't expect complex technical answers or offers with 100+ items in them within 10~15 minutes anymore... 😛
first in, first out, one by one... and the more they push, the more I delay their request...

However, a false-Monday... doh... 😎

Grrrr morning Martin!
Appreciate the black energy juice but the mind squirrels are just too active this morning..... I should be sleeping 😴 for a couple more hours at least.

About 25F here this morning, possibly heading to 36F before sliding waaaay down to 19F for the night. Last night before bed the forecast was for close to 3 inches of snow today, starting at 8:00AM. Looking now, the total has been revised to maybe an inch.

I can understand the new approach to working more "methodically". Back when I was working and getting close to retirement, I developed the attitude whereby the more I was "reminded" to get a task done, the more often it was "overlooked" on my daily agenda.

Nothing exciting planned for today. I'll spend a couple hours at the shooting club this morning with "the crew" for our weekly coffee, doughnuts and maintenance tasks morning. It doesn't seem like a lot each week, but one task of collecting discarded brass ends up with an average payback of $4,000 a year.
This afternoon, there are a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator I need to turn into meals for the rest of the week.

Be safe, be careful and beware of racing mind rodents.

Morning all, and thanks for the startup Martin.

Thirst-day just seems wrong for a Twos-day.

-3 and sunny, headed to +3 and cloudy.

Yesterday ended up cycling between sun, rain, snow and ice pellets. It was a wild afternoon. I also got my barnet chopped. Wild again, but also no so wild looking now. The Mrs. approves of it.

Hope everyone has an excellent Tuesday.

Obo.
 
Good morning, and thanks for the coffee start, Martin.
Peter, thanks for the Timmy's, as well.

It's 34 with snow showers in the area. Temperature should rise to 46, and the showers should taper off, eventually. 10-20mph wind will make it feel colder.

Yesterday's phone meeting with the anesthesiologist went well. She explained what meds I need to stop, before, and some of the dietary restrictions. I already knew about the required blood work, but they added an ekg and chest X-ray. I'll do them next week, before the meeting with my Urologist.

Today, I'll head over to the Podiatrist to have her take a look at my achilies. I must have made a bad food decision, because my gout is flaring in the same foot! Tylenol should keep the pain in both in check.
Today is also First Tuesday, so I'll meet with my former Bose coworkers for a bit.
Brenda's bowling league has finished up, so she'll root around our leftovers for dinner.

@sah48 our range is closed this week for a general clean-up and replacement of the back-stop material. These are heavy rubber mats, with steel plates behind..

Enjoy the day,
Steve
 
Thanks for the start
This morning it's Organika Electrolytes with Enhanced Collagen supplemented with [among calcium magnesium phosphorous and potasium]
vitamin C at 122% yup, says right on the label; I guess the dried up hard water residue must account for the remaining - 78%
Also comes with a caution - do not drink with any other supplements and no more than two servings per day...
I think it will be coffee tomorrow
Was a good few days off, not enough time on the ST never is but had some good weather
got a start around the yard and some utility trailer repairs see if I can get some new wheel bearings this week
Nothing kills insomnia and helps you get back to sleep like a new trailer gate... zzzzzz...
Wish everyone a safe ride
 
Good morning all!
Thanks for the hot & black start, Martin.
We had the same snow event as @sah48.
I didn’t appreciate it either!
Currently 16/ -8C, with a high of 28/ -2C.
I’ve been joining the gathering at our general store each morning since my return.
BTW
Thanks Joe for your efforts to maintain this site!
It gives a lot of us a chance to visit with friends near & far! It is appreciated! It’s always nice to actually meet up with some! I’ve been lucky enough to meet with a number of them.
It’s always a good feeling for me, to be able to put a face to a name!
Enjoy your day, we never know what tomorrow will bring!
WB
 
Good morning everyone

Thanks for the coffee, Martin.

My motto was "If incompetence doesn't get me fired, try switching to insubordination. "

It's 43°F and mostly sunny in Lansdale PA. A high around 50 will precede an overnight plunge into the mid 20s. The very thought sends a chill up my spine.

Yesterday's hopes of a rapid completion to the garage clean out task failed to materialize, as all four sisters spent the entire afternoon "helping" ("enabling" is a more accurate term) at their aunt's new pigsty place. I ran errands and cooked a pot of chili, so at least I felt as though I had contributed something to the day.

In their defense, the dumpster at the garage was full (due to be emptied today) so the most they could have done was examine, sort, and separate what's to be kept for dispersal from what goes to the dump.

Perhaps today will be better.

I find that concentrating on dull, mundane, disagreeable, unsatisfying tasks I could be doing is a tremendously effective sleep aid.

Stay safe and well everyone and tell your dear ones you love them. Do it today, NOW, for tomorrow may be too late.

Thanks Martin for the wakeup. I'll confess my eyebrows raised too, when I saw Thirst-day. But I hadn't had my first cup yet, and was thus cognitively impaired.
More than usual.
My new gifted used chainsaw cranks and runs for a minute, then stops. I think I should adjust the low idle carb screw.
What's going on here today?
Can't say right now, but I can tell y'all what's NOT gonna happen, and that would be snow.
Highs at 75 today, and in my limited experience I have found snow doesn't show up at that temperature.
Thought I'd something more to say...
Nope.
I should go listen to Pink Floyd now, while I get ready for work.
Without snow.
Be well.

That was exactly where I went on reading the reference. My Pandora app is currently pointed at my Pink Floyd channel, so yesterday I heard their full orchestration version of Breathe as well as Wish You Were Here. Excellent, both.
