It is gonna be a cold winter.

LOL, we have a blower (brand new in the box) but (and this is kinda mean) they haven't noticed it in the shed so I didn't say anything. Last week, Mr A started to go get it out for them but I told him not to, I wanted some peace and quiet.

Unused in the box would make a nice Christmas present.

Only down to 30 last night but not really supposed to warm up today ( 34) so I have a fire going . I have an Oak kitchen table to pick up this evening , otherwise I would not have to leave the house .

Things are tough on the reservation when you have to start burning furniture.

A couple of my old kitchen chairs are getting close to consider that reasonable but I Thought I would put them all out by the road with a free sign . Three or four of them are OK . The table is fine so I will send it to the outbuilding and hold it for one of the grandkids or repurpose it to a work bench .

Never put something out with a "free" sign. People will think there is something wrong with it. Place a sign that says "$25 OBO" and a thief will take it at nightfall.

I bought a Ryobi from Home Depot so all of my 1/4 & 1/2" impact wrench batteries would fit it , but yeah it is loud .

As long as their whining is quieter than the blower, they will be raking.

I just use mine on the back porch . I just chop up leaves with the mower . When I was a kid we had a three acre wooded lawn that I raked . Raked them onto a tarp and drug them to a burn pile in a clearing in the woods . All my Dads idea .By the time you got done it was time to start again . I own three leaf rakes I bought at yard sales and auctions over the years but mostly I use them for push poles when doing other things .

Sleeting out now , a change from this mornings flurries . These are like tiny hail balls .

I have one of the Ryobi blowers also. Works well but beware of the exploding plastic "fan" piece inside. Expect to have to replace the plastic fan part within a year or so. It blew into a bunch of sharp pieces out of nowhere.

Yeah this thing works great but I just bought it last spring so who knows ? . I have been using it though about five minutes every morning since end of Sept .

Very cold this morning. So cold Mr A didn't even play golf. He is busy cooking me some food.

I am conspiring by the (fake) fire space heater to face unafraid the plans that I've made to get Mr A to take me out tonight.

Stacked some wood today . Got out a couple pair of rusty Vise Grips I bought at a yard sale long ago for a FRN each and knocked the rust off them with a wire wheel and oiled them up . Down to 19 tonight so of course I have the fire going .

If you get Danke to buy you a fake fire space heater you will not have to deal with firewood. Since Danke is rich he could even afford the ones with realistic crackling noise.

It would be a better deal if he just pd my electric bill . I would have one in ea room . The way I was brought up you are supposed to look after the elderly . Danke needs to step up and help me out .

Down to 19 again tonight so I have the fire roaring . Rumors are armegeddon is on the way to Appalachia . Danke will probably be down there looting if he has the weekend off .

I think your spirit animal is the woodchuck.

Cold rain. I have to work at the bar this morning. I don't think there are any games that will draw in my drinking crowd. I'm hoping sex doll Steve and Crazy Brow come in so I won't be bored.

 

[Suzanimal]

Cold friggin rain. We are under a cold rain flooding watch. I'm glad the night shift came in early because I didn't want to be stuck in cold rain traffic.

I split a lot of wood this morning , pretty cool out but the sunshine is wonderful . I think if I whip out about four more rick for Feb I am good this year
