Morning.
Def. chilly here, balmy 15 degs. stoves are cranking but keeping up heating this big old victorian.
We got about 8-9" of snow, my new LED lights i put on snowblower work great! now I can see what I';m doing in the dark. LOL
Coffee is some flavored 'Bones' coffee the wife ordered online, not too bad.
3.5 Ton of coal delivered last weekend. all stocked up. haven't burnt much since it hasn't been too cold till now. Prolly have 5 ton in my bin now.
Time to get a couple new Ash pans for the Hyfire, starting to rot out, local dealer has them.
Enjoy your day all!

Morning all!
Thanks for firing up the coffee D!
About 18 degrees here in the South. Coldest it's been since February. LED head lights on the snow blower ehh, that sounds like a good idea! Not much going on here, the Axeman is slowly cooking coal, the radiators are radiating, all is well.
Stay healthy and safe everyone!

Good morning. We started today at 5 degrees, but it is up to 15 now. I headed out early for a booze smuggling mission into Vermont, made it back with a keg of craft beer and some fancy whiskey for gifts. Boy does that Ecoboost love cold air, I really got the dust out of it a few times.
The tile crew is here working on the floor in our new kitchen, we should have the cabinets installed next week.
Take care everyone.

Good morning people, Thanks for the hot coffee D. Well I see you guys East did manage to survive the storm which is a good thing, We did get about a 1" and the internet was down for most of the day " Oh no the world is ending" My daughter had to go to a friends house so she could do her online tests for school I wish the kids were in school!
Nice floor Rob!
My wife Highlander headlights were fogging due to the age so I thought I would try a restorer kit since I have never used one before, Well I was very surprised at how easy and how well the 3M kit worked well worth the $21.00. Not as good as new but good enough for a vehicle with over 250,000 miles on it. Here is the before and after pics Ok friends have a good one and be safe.

Dang it, you guys are sending that cold air south again! Below freezing almost everyday for this whole month! Early on that is....They say it has been the warmest year on record....good lord the lies. Coldest end to a year in the 8 I have lived here. Nice Rob! I see they are using one of the new leveling systems. We have tried a couple and settled on one we get at Louisville Tile. It has a set of pliers that you use to squeeze the wedge in.....Worked very well. Not bit of edge in a whole floor and 3 walls in a walk in shower.

Footprints n the snow. Had about 12 inches of snow and next morning saw these. Cept for mouse prints I am no expert but do you think these could be Yeti (bigfoot) prints? What do yeti eat? I really don't care so long as it is not stuff like Me.

I'm late again! We skated this storm.... 3" of light fluff. Most people around here ignored it. I snow blowed just for fun.
Yup.... The Axeman got fired up this week. It's happily jogging along & the heat pumps are done for the year. Woohooo!
Stay safe..... & forward we go.

I had coffee at Royal Farms in Bridgeville, DE this morning. No snow and overall a pretty nice day for December. Our snow is already noticeably going down, if we hit 50 on Thursday that should help. Hard to believe Christmas is less than a week away. Take care.
