Here we go! Have a coffee and a quick home made blueberry muffin. Now get to work!

My neighbor Micheal and I snow-blowed an Olympic size skating rink on Fields Pond this week. Stop by for a skate!

My cousin got her first Covid shot this week. It looks like I might be eligible come March first. Still a long road, but forward we go.

Mornin'
Muffins' go good with coffee....Thank you, Freddy. It looks like the super cold temps will be moving into the Northeast this week. The Upper Plains states are feeling it now, and it all moves East.......Brrrrrr!!!!
Ice rink looks good, Freddy. The John 'Zamboni' Deere is faster than a 'chevelle', eh!!!
Keep the coal fires burnin'
Cheers

Morning, I sure do need this coffee. 24* in this part of the country? GW? Brrrrrrr. Well, can't do anything about it so as you say Freddy, forward we go. I am trying to dismantle a 1956 Johnson 10 HP today, it has been fighting me so I have to make a concerted effort. IF this weather keeps up, I will have to get a snowblower to fight with not an outboard!

Good afternoon friends, sorry I missed coffee Freddy but well you know how things work! :roll:
I have been real lazy today other then filling the bird feeders and doing some research on tuners for my Ford as you never have enough power :D
Now the next problem is what I'm going to drink tonight, I guess its not a real problem if that's the only thing I have to decide on :lol: , ok people have a good weekend and be safe!

Late to the house I’ll put another pot on. Hope there’s a blueberry muffin left! Work has been crazy, 2 days off out of 21. I’m ready for spring and a vacation! Projects looking good fellows and I hope the stuck ones get fixed quick. Super Bowl today I pick the Chiefs, Daytona coming up next weekend a sure sign better weather is around the corner. Take care gang!
