Sun and 50 today. We had wet snow falling ALL day yesterday, it was kinda weird as it was more like rain. No big news here, gas is really cheap but we are not allowed to go anywhere.

Anj - prayers for Jenni and her family
Regards, Roy
anjdevil - Take care of Ms. Jenni. I expect a visit from you two this summer...
Roy, That is a great price on gas. Here it is $1.63 with the Kroger discount. We have $.38 a gallon state tax on top of whatever the Feds get.
I got 64 Gallons of Dyed diesel delivered to my transfer tank last week for the JD tractor. Was pleased to get the bill and find it was only $1.499 a gallon! Last time I got some it was twice that.
Most of the snow is melted.
Illinois schools will remain closed for the remainder of the school year.
Sorry about Jenni's grandmother Rich. We were there last year with Sandra's mother.

Sorry to hear about Jenni's grandmother 'devil.
If there's any consolation, once Alzheimers sets in the person one knew and loved starts going away, never to return. When the end comes it's truly a release.
Sooner or later "The Night Train" comes for us all.

For youse giz that are retired that means it's Friday and I get 2 days off....in a row.We went for Hot Dogs for dinner and I had 2 chili dogs and we split an order of Cheese Fries. Good eats - - we ate in the parking lot for something different. We went off to clean up the stairwell to the train room and Jenni's Dad called, her Grandma had passed, and she was very close to her up until her 1 son moved her to North Jersey. She had developed the alzheimers and we did visit but Jenni said it wasn't her. She very upset and there is no word of funeral or anything right now. Paycheck today was about $700 lighter than usual. That'll get the mortgage paid and the car, but it'll be tough with the other bills. We should manage to squeek by. We ain't driving anywhere that's for sure. Gas is at $2.05 and further away it's $1.89.
Sun now, rain until tomorrow night, might make 50 both days. Sunday SUN and 65 for Jenni's walk through.
Looking good Fife....and thanks for the heads up on Hobby Lobby....I need to make a baswood order for my sidewalks and curbs, so NOW I can do that......
That's all from Central Jersey.

wrmcclellan Morning team! Gray and 63, with a cold front at noon taking us to low 50's by this evening. Ugh... Did some shopping and got what we needed. They are controlling TP sales, $7.50 for a 4 pack! Gas was $0.94 at Kroger gas station with our Kroger discount.

Holy smoke, $7.50 for a four-pack of TP? Sounds like there's some price gouging goin' on there! Last four-pack we got was $3.99, and that was just a few days ago. Lady F saw a 20 pack at Wal-Mart for $14.99 just about the same time.
Good morning all,
Very quiet day at work. Almost no one here. Very light traffic. Rainy. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Morning. Sunny and 69 [warming fast]. Beautiful day.
Tractor work in the garden.
Enjoy the day and stay well.

Cloudy and 37. No snow here, yet. It has stayed south of us. On the nicer days we walk, days like this we use the exercise bike.
Snowmorning,
3" of fresh heavy white stuff out there. Way less than they were squawking about yesterday. They had us up to 7". I will wait for it to melt.
Last night wife got up to go to the bathroom and woke me up to tell me there was no water. I checked and she was right. I think is was the cycle phase the softener was in because it was fine after a bit??? maybe why they have them run at night?
Mornin' boys. Clear and 31 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Calling for rain later. Nothing on the agenda; perhaps a milk run.
Spent yesterday on the phone catching up with friends. Placed an order with Hobby Lobby. Discovered that dry-transfer lettering apparently has a shelf life.
"Virtual" YORK looks intrigueing.
Hello there,
nothing new here. a little progress on the bathroom each day.
Today's highlight was a trip to the feed store, the drug store and Ace hardware.
Gas is holding at $2.09. Ethanol free is $2.49. I'm tempted to fill up with it just to see how it affects gas mileage.
Best get to sleep.
Prayers for those in need and the end of this pandemic.

Dougnotta - I shall hold onto my PPG shares.
Play Ball !
Sun, sun, sun! Heading to 70 today. Another front tomorrow for clouds, lower temps (60's) and rain over the weekend...argh....at least we are done with the 30's (I hope)...
I regularly dose with Bulleit Bourbon...so far so good!
Less traffic today. Weather dry but cold. Watched LEGO Masters finale last night. Very neat projects. Some speculate as to whether one couple won due to their circumstances, but all three efforts were good. After watching episodes, may have to look at the Technics side of things to see about making some operating accessories for layouts. Getting things done at work I normally put off until last minute as work is somewhat slow. Got the stimulus money. I hope everyone has a good day.
Cold at 27 with snow tonight then warming Saturday on. I hope.
Fife, I like that Tracor Supply hat.
Chilly start but warming fast. Chores and feeding trailer parks.
Stay well.
Sad news for SoCal, the SanDiego County Fair(aka Del Mar Fair) will not be held this year. No health foods to be enjoyed while walking around and checking out the FFA entries.
Don, Three doses a day is just the recommended dosage. If you are working in the yard that would probably require additional doses, you never know what might be in the air.
Good Evening from a cloudy 42°F Southern Ohio,
I’ll give a quick summary of the past few weeks. Daughter in LA and her significant other have moved out of Hollywood and sold their house just before the pandemic. The deal on the house in Covington Ky fell through so they have been living with us for the past few weeks.
The position I have at work is considered “essential” so I still am going into work and because other essential work is not considered essential, those who are in the plant are picking up the additional work.
I bought a 7 x 16 tandem axel trailer for the foundation for a parade float for my granddaughter for River Days in the late summer. So going to start that project soon. Right now I’m sanding down and repainting the trailer and rewiring the lights and brakes.
The storms have brought down several trees and a couple of them fell across the drive so they needed to be cleaned up. One is a 90 foot sycamore and not good for much of anything.
The layout is coming along. The roadbed is down and most of the accessories are wired up.
Good night and may God bless you and your families
Jim
Doug, That would be cutting back!!
Don
It took me all day, but I finally got that, Doug.
Lite snow flurries flying around at 34 degrees.
Nothing going on here, tried to log-in to our credit union but can't even get on. I've been playing a lot of golf with Tiger Woods.
Well I did get into the account. The $2400. is actually there.
Mornin gang!
Sunny and emerging from the impact of yuz guz up nawth leavin the refrigerator door open again...jumped from 30's this am to 50's already...yes!
Perusing the papers and sipping some cafe to start the day...
