Hot coffee! Come & get yer hot coffee! Bagels & cream cheese..... but you can skip the cream cheese if you want & have a fried egg and sausage patty instead. All good.

It's 15 degrees right now....the Axeman Anderson is happy.

If the temps stay like this we can soon make the 2nd annual kids ice skating rink on Fields Pond. We are aiming for Olympic size this year.....about 100 feet by 200 feet. I'm planning on going to the pond and drilling to see ice thickness. I need 9 or 10 inches before I'll take the John Deere on it.

Hope you are all healthy & stay that way. Forward we go!

Good morning guys. Freddy I see you got your picture changed, looks real handsome!!! I’m sure the kids will have a blast on the pond. Not much going on here, just normal house chores. Weather here hasn’t been to bad. Think spring! Have another cup and make it a good weekend!

Mornin'
Hot coffee sounds good, thank you, Freddy. 'Old man Winter' is movin' in. We still try to squeak to 40* for the sunny days, but, that is slowing. Stay warm and healthy, everyone.
Cheers

Good morning. 16 degrees here, my contractor is complaining the house is too hot...guess I forgot to turn the heat down yesterday after we painted all the trim. :lol:

I put a thermometer in one of the boys bedrooms and closed the door on both rooms. The idea was I could compare the temperature in one room to the other (which has the thermostat for that zone) and see if I need to adjust the dampers on the baseboard...nope, both rooms were 68 this morning.

Morning all!

Glad to see you cracked the Avatar code there Freddy! Not much going on here. It's 25 degrees and very breezy. We switched the Axeman from "Low & Slow" settings to "Full Speed Ahead" original settings for the weekend just to see what difference it makes.

Stay healthy, happy and safe everyone!
-Don

Good Morning all, not much happening here so far no where near cold enough for ice thickness here & temps going up near 40 for a couple of days this coming week. Had to re-light due to a power outage, don't know why but we lost power for an hour or better. My son changed jobs this week, there are jobs out there if you have some talent. Took a bit of a pay cut but also got daylight hours & weekends off & seems extremely happy. Hope all stay safe & warm!

Good Evening,Gang! Helluva surprise day after speaking with Coalnewbie(Simon) this a.m.! Felt it was more important to put up the post regarding Shelley to inform some of the remaining "Old Guard Coal Faithful". It can be viewed,Right here,in Freddy's Coffee House! That spurred a Renaissance for me,so to speak... In closing,a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All of You! Steady On,Steady On,Mates! Oh,and especially after this morning,please observe Freddy's Wise and Sage Advice: "Don't Forget To Hug Your Loved Ones!" !! Amen!

Freddy, you might get extended play on the hockey field. I understand a polar vortex split and may be on its way for an extended stay late Jan/Feb - burr!
