Big coffee. No sleep. Folded pancake with bacon inside. See in news about guy who drowned in Florida on vacation with family? He was an acquaintance and our sons are friends. Trying to balance offers of.condolence and.help to letting them grieve. 11* and calm. Just a crappy weekend folks.

It is a crispy morning in Chazy, but least it is sunny and calm. Compared to the cold blast two weeks ago this is no big deal. I skated with the boys last night and can definitely feel it this morning. I think today I will focus on staying warm and enjoying a new blend of coffee.

Good morning gents how's it going on this crisp morning? Great choice HB! I finally restarted the Glenwood last night after camping last weekend ( I set it for a weekend away with pea) but the crazy windy weekend made sure it was ice cold on Sunday afternoon , now we are back to a nice toasty home .
I finally received all the parts for the solar project so today I will do what I can inside with the heat and I hope by tomorrow the snow will be gone and the temps will be higher so I can mount the panels.
Take care friends and have a great weekend.

Sorry for your families loss W.
Strange storm this week. Even though I got a foot of snow I barely had any snow to blow as the wind blew it thru. Unsure where it stopped as I dont see any big drifts that werent there before. Must have piled up in a woods somewhere and thats a good place for it!
Nothing going on here today. Have a good one!

Morning All!
Yesterday afternoon I finally tackled a job I have been putting off for many months. Well pressure tank replacement. I've been getting by with filling it with an air compressor every few days.
Old tank out... It was pretty rusty on the bottom and ready to break through., New tank in, with new manifold, switch, drain, PRV and gauge. That all went a little quicker than I thought it would. I guess I'll have to find something else to do today.
Have a good weekend everyone!

And the early spring continues. Snow, sleet, hail, rain, fog and heavy wind this week along with one warm day that made some sticky mud. Nice clear nights in between storms. 24° and not moving much this morning.
