Well it is winter here guys, woke up to 2" of snow with about 1" of rain on top. Had to go to Farm & Fleet and get some waterproof high top shoes. I put the plow on the Rusty Ranger yesterday and tested it out. All worked as it should. They say tomorrow we will get maybe 4" more. Will be a bad night for the trick or treaters.
Don, thanks for the pictures of Ray.
Chief, nice buck! Deer sausage and venison grits and grillades on the way.

Boo Y'all! Still doing the month-long RR grind. Spent my only day off painting my parents' sun room. May have a buyer on the yatchett.
KRM - Is that plate before dinner, or after...?
Chief - We haven't seen our bear for over a month. Perhaps he headed for Roleysburg.
HAPPY HALLOWEENCongrats to the 'Nats - Pitchers and catchers report in 4 months - Yankees vs Pirates Spring Training Feb 24th.....Devils fall to the Lightning 7-6 in overtime.
Chief - Nice buck!Raining here in Jersey - 70s today and should let up in time for trick or treating. I'll have to get all the decorations up afterwards as there will be up to 50 MPH winds and I don't need to be chasing foam tombstones and plastic jack o'lanterns all night - End of Month today and expect to be busy, so far just 2 and they are done. Might have to jump on the internet for work, and I hate that.....Dressed up for the occasion as a mechanic....yeah, I left my actual costume at the other house. So, I'm at least comfortable in ripped jeans a mechanic shirt and the appropriate hat on backwards.Jenni seems to have come down with something......she's at her parents house, so not sure how the rest of the week and weekend are going to go. Regardless, heading to Philadelphia on the 3rd for the Toy Run barring my falling ill. Which I'm not interested in.OK, off to work, let's see what else is gonna happen today
Prayers for all in need.....

Fife, good question! After all it is grits. Bet your bear has gone to sleep for the winter.
Got to get some stuff for chili.

Morning. Warm, breezy and cloudy.
Shooting the deer was easy. Dragging him out was the chore. 1/2 mile in. Did get pickup backed in part of the way. Lifting him in was not easy but had two extra helpers by then.
Errands today.
Hope all OK.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN SJ.
Evening folks!
Sunny, day started below freezing but warmed up nicely. Made it to 50. 60 tomorrow and then another front Sat and back to the 50's.
Spent day tidying up our AT&T accounts with duplicate services due to the new fiber installation. We will save around $130 per month and the new internet is twice the speed of the old. AT&T tried to upsell me from the new fiber 50 MB/s that is only $40 per month to 100 a 300 MB/s at much higher prices. The joke was on them, the old fiber only provided (at best) 15-20 MB/s - cost $50+ per month - and everything worked fine, inc son using online gaming stuff. So 50 MB/s (their base speed) is perfect and cheap.
Also got an older printer operational and on the home network.
Congrats to the Nats - Astros had nothing for them after their 3 runs. Pitching flat and as Joe Buck commented, and in my words, stop making the at bats a home run derby attempt and play some baseball, wh is "hit em where they ain't". Advance runners around the bases. That's was the Nats did with great skill last night.
Regards, Roy
Hello there,
not much goin on here lately. Everybody more to Facebook? ?
Scratched around the basement trying to come up with a spreading tool to work on my 259E. Nothing yet.
Studied my lathe some too. No easy solution. I think I'm going to put it back together. Leave a bit of slop between the carriage and bed and run it. Pap had it adjusted so tight it took a fair amount of effort to crank it. If the gear strips again I'll come up with a way to lower the rack.
Trick or Treating is rescheduled to tomorrow evening here. Last evening was hard rain and high winds.
Best go before I crash.
Prayers for those in need
