Good evening all,
Made it to work today, which is better than more than half the office in my division. Too cold to walk outside so took to the tunnels that connect downtown. Vegged out on Hill Street Blues DVD again. Almost thru first season. "Let's be careful out there!" I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Hello there,
cold is the word of the day. It was +2 at 645 this AM and dead calm. Steadily rose to 20 about noon and the wind and snohio squalls started. Got a couple more inches to add to the 3 from yesterday. Wind is gone and it was -4 at last call. Predicted 54 Sunday Pm.
Hasn't been this cold here in several years.
Kev the temps there are dangerous, be careful.
Mrs had a had an early dismisal today and closed tomorrow. More sortn and throwin today and tomorrow before heading to the doc. Also some Mom stuff reared it's head so got to deal with it.
Yesterday another B of B disk, one more to go, and offered moral support while son got a snowmobile out of the garage.
Nite all, before I drop the tablet again.
Prayers for those in need

Cloudy and 42 right now. They are saying 70 by Mon?
Not much to report this am. Later! Stay warm and safe!
Regards, Roy
Frosty Mornin' FellasWoke to a 0 degree temp this morning... no telling what the windchill is. 2 hr delay for schools (off yesterday). Busy packing up the house and getting the project list cleared. Still waiting on final approval from the county on permits (apparently the county doesn't work when it snows either). Funny... when I worked in an office I was expected to be there unless we were under a State of Emergency and all roads were closed by the state...Fife - Nice pic! Always quick with the words of wisdom too. Banks - prayers bud!Can't remember what else I was going to say... so gonna run.Stay warm!

Good Morning from clear sunny -2°F Southern Ohio,
We moved the rabbits into the garage last night and ensured the heat lamp and water heater was working in the chicken coop last night. By Sunday going to warm up. The kids are off from school so my bride is going to keep them busy with chores today. The layout roadbed is to be delivered but the weather is probably going to delay delivery. If not working on the layout roadbed this weekend I’ll probably be burning brush again Friday and Saturday.
anjdevil2 - Try some silicon spray on the driver’s door seal. Your comment about the flamingo reminded me, when we moved a year and a half ago we brought our yard flamingo with us and it is proudly displayed by the most used entry door. When I placed it there my bride looked and me and said, “Really?” I said yes, it makes me think of friends!
May God bless you and your families
Jim

Lows and highs here have been in the single digits, both + and -. Really windy Tuesday and Wednesday. Started out about 4 degrees this morning, supposed to get to the low 30's this afternoon. Predicting 60 by Sunday.
The PE Conductor gateman I ordered got here Wednesday. Nice piece. It is the new plug & play connection system. Looks like that connection system will simplify hook up, but eliminate the simple electrical circuit lessons of the old contactor system, or the insulated rail scheme. Need to purchase the proper Plug & Play Fastrack pieces to use that as well.
The instruction manual does describe methods to hook up to existing Fastrack and tubular track, though these will not give automatic operation of the gatehouse, rather you need to use the included manual control. These alternate methods also rely on the "included 3 pin female connector with 8" pigtail" - which was not included in my box. I'll have to chase one of those down.
About all for now.
Survived night two of below -20. Last night the wind was not as bad so it felt better than it was. Was -22 at 5:00AM and up to -9 at 8:00. Now it is a very warm -2. Will warm up from here with some snow tonight and tomorrow.
Had a deer bleed all over the feed pan. I think one got cut on the rusty pan so we got a new pan today at Farm & Fleet and they are afraid of it. . The young ones are not near as afraid as the older ones. Had a nice young 8 pointer at the pan last night. He was nice to watch. We have about 15 showinf up every day with this super cold weather.
Got to feed them again!

Semi busy day at work. May stay home if too much snow tonight. Walked inside today. Did not do much at home tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
-8 and dead calm at 730 this AM when Mrs and I left for mass. Got up to +8 bout 2 pm when we left for doc. +3 a bit ago when I looked.
Son found water froze in barn this morning. Found it was a valve that should have had an extra turn of heat trace. An easy fix, wrapped it in insulation. Hasn't been this cold since we redid the heat trace a few years ago.
Follow up with doc went well. After a bunch of questions it was determined I am slightly ahead of the curve for being 5 weeks post op. Even with the set back 2 weeks ago. Weight restrictions were removed. Lift with care, my body will let me know if it's to much .
Roy. ....sounds like you have enough electronics there to automate a PPG glass cutting lineTime for sleep
Prayers for those in need.
Dennis, enjoy. Mike, no soccer in the snow????
New Pot steaming and ready.
