it’s amazing what winter hibernation motivates a person to do.

Speaking of winter, only 16 more days until that sun clock starts moving forward again.

Test worked!!

Shamus, shh..

This is the last word.

There will be snow further north tonight but the coastal wind will keep it away from us. Right now we’re 43 daughter an hour north is 23. The kiddie wrestling season opened last Saturday. The 2 younger boys placed 2ndl, 3-1 record out of 16. The older 2 didn’t place going 1-2. Oldest granddaughter switched cheer this winter, more school…[Read more]

Went to work it was 27F out there. Kind of chilly.

We have an electric mower for a small front lawn that the rider cannot get to. Not battery powered, so the electric cord is a hassle. But otherwise, does a good job. Lightweight and all that.

It warms up starting tomorrow and and starts the rain again. HOpefully we have a white…[Read more]

We bought an electric push mower, 60 V, when we moved in. The lot is only a 1/4 acre and probably 50% is covered with pavers and garden so it was a borderline decision for a rider. I figured I’d have plenty of time to walk it. It’s self-propelled so it becomes a walking exercise. The big advantage is…no maintenance except cleaning grass from…[Read more]

Hey AC!! Glad to hear you are well and have had a great Thanksgiving. I do not appreciate you bragging about not losing power due to the Bomb Cyclone! I thought it hit everyone!! It is just for that and other circumstances (about 4 times a year we lose power) that we have the generator. I changed the oil in the Generator on Saturday.…[Read more]

Goooooooooooooooooood morning everybody!!!!!!!!!
Not to brag but we never lost power.
Made a lot of food, a lot of people over to eat and a lot of cleanup.
Hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving word!

I never played much pinball growing up, but when I was in an arcade I usually played a baseball game where you press one button and the pitch rolls out through a tunnel in the bottom of the machine and there’s another button to swing a bat. There are knock down targets in the field for hits and gaps between them for outs if you miss a knockdown.…[Read more]

I have never thought of buying a pinball machine. But it would be fun no doubt. I don’t remember the baseball machine. I from the world of Pong!!! Happy Thanksgiving word!!!

The grass has started to return to green. Now the trees are brown. Oh well.

Went out and bought 2 pinball machine. Someone was moving and needed to dump them quick. Nice 1970’s Williams machine with old style bells and lots of lights. Both are four player so no lines / no waiting, no fighting over who goes first. He’s also selling a…[Read more]

That’s a lot of rain!! We got power after going to a Mexican restaurant on Saturday. I think we will do that from now on. We were out since Tue evening. All my gas tanks are filled so we have gas for a week or so of generator use. No need now. Internet came back also. So we are back up.

I think that bomb cyclone is still out…[Read more]

Good luck to you. 4 days is 4 too many without power, even limited power.

We dodged another bullet. We finally got a good rain soaking yesterday, 2.5 inches. No flooding because the state was so dry. 40 miles upstate got 20″ of snow, one of the heaviest November snowfalls on record. While all 3 kids had there snowblowers cranking we were…[Read more]

Yeah, the gas stations and grocery stores are suffering along with us. My wife went to get gas for our generator and she couldn’t get through so she left. Too many people trying to get gas and gas flowing too slow. Puget Sound Energy is still saying tomorrow at 8:00 pm we will have power restored. Lines remain on the road in our…[Read more]

Been there. It’s crazy. Worst part was the gas stations and groceries were without power sop you couldn’t drive out of the affected areas to get food once local trees were cut from blocking the streets. We didn’t have a generator but we did have a backup battery to run the internet. Despite all of the downed powerlines the intent cable enroute…[Read more]

BOMB CYCLONE HIT!!!!!!!!

Whoa, 4 grandies in a year, Our best was 3. It’s great having them close together. We’ve been told all are done. All are healthy so I can settle with that that. The youngest Annabelle, 10 , is an absolute hoot. Soooo happy. All giggles like her Mom. When you say bye bye she holds out her arm wand wiggles her fingers wanting a kiss on the cheek.
