Good Morning Folks. It is 32f on the porch. It's been windy all week and today will be no different. Life in the Great Basin can get windy. For those of you that have never heard of the Great Basin I will post a link at the end of this post. The wind will keep my indoors today but I will venture out this evening for the weekly "Pot Luck Dinner" at the Saloon. Take care everyone and have nice day.

Good Afternoon, Community!
Wind-chill effect made my today's walk a bit unpleasant. At least it was sunny.
Have a nice Friday!

Was calm and cold first thing this morning and the kitties all went out see what was happening in the yard. I felt a wump! lookeded out the window and the snow was blowing of the garage at a fevered pitch! Kitties ran in the door and in "it sucks outside mode" snoozing here and there. There is little camaraderie among them and they each go their own way, sometimes that near other, sometimes it not. My favorite just came it to be with me or wants something or both, I never know. Cats are a mystery to me, They often change there minds so often, well, it wears me out! They are my buddies I think........
The weather change and the temperature of 62 in the house has me uncomfortable, I can turn the pellet stove to high output and maybe it will warm up the house in 5-6 hours or turn on some electrical heat and burn my funds down. The electrical company already sent me a warning that I was using much more electricity than normal, when we hit -20f I turn up the heat to ensure pipes don't freeze. Oddly enough , they don't seem to correlate outside temperature with electricity usage. I'm guessing it will cost a lot more to tear open the house than to pay to heat it for a few days, but that's just me.
I have a cat staring me down so I better get out of the chair and see if I can figure out what he wants. Have a wonderful day and be glad for the gift of life! john

What did they think was gonna happen when the temperature went negative? I'm starting to wish I could move to Fantasyland where pipes never freeze and then burst and nothing else ever goes wrong. Jeeze!
When one heats with oil here, the supplier does your delivery based on "degree/days." Don't know what it is, don't much care, just as long as I don't run out. Seems I always get a drop when we're between 1/2 and 1/4 tank...
Back in the 70's/80's when we installed a Shenandoah coal-stove in the basement, we would burn about 3 1/2 ton of coal though the winter, and it saved us money. After the kids came along we stopped burning coal seriously and just kept it for use in emergency situations. I have a few hundred pounds in the coal-bin I built back then, but have not burned in several years...

Good morning. It’s -6°F with a “real feel” of -30. The snow stopped and there’s a foot or so on the ground. I’m heading out to see if anyone else from the running club will show up for our Saturday morning run. I doubt it but as a board member we need someone there I guess that’s me. -5 is about me limit so we’ll have to see what happens.
Good morning.
There will be some chores to do around here, in and out but most of the day will be in hanging out here together.
Work yesterday? Don't get me started- telecomm delay for the conversants, people yelling (without malice) into their phones at me, and the most infuriating of all- interrupting me and talking over me. If you don't know already, there is a lot of fecal matter in the general population.
Enough of that- I'm off for the weekend.
Have a great day and SMILE! You may just be on Candid Camera.

Good morning all! Good news about the little guy, yesterday went well. 
Still don't understand what triggered the emotions of the past week, but he lasted a whole day at school, and came home with a smile on his face when saw a package intended for him.
As for us, we didn't make it to the party last night. Momma wasn't feeling well, and I wasn't thrilled to go anyway. So we stayed home and caught up on our entertainment.
Today will be a slow day, not much going on.
Take care and have a great day!

Good morning dear friends!
28° F and sunny, high 32. Supposed to snow overnight and tomorrow. Looks like a mess headed this way.
Not much going on right now. Music...
God bless you all!

Howdy ya'll. 24 F, sunny with no snow overnight.
Bracing for a major snowfall late today into early morning tomorrow.
We're expecting 4-6 inches... time to get the snow blower out.
G-son expected by around 4 PM for an overnight visit.
Minor chores today
That's it for me.

Good morning! Clear and 43 F for the walk, going to 82.
HVAC guys installed the new part, rerouted some PVC pipes, and tested by pouring water into the places that are supposed to drain. Working fine so far.
There's a small church-sponsored car show today, then some laundry to do. That's about it.

Update. I showed up for the morning run and was the only one there. Heck, it is only -6°F. So, I did a perimeter tour of downtown and got in a couple miles. I had my key fob in my pocket and when I got back it had frozen and wouldn’t unlock my car. The key wouldn’t work either so I put the fob in a warmer place and went out for a walk. That solved the problem.

Both electronic and mechanical devices are affected by extreme temperatures. I have had a lot of fun at work when it's below 32° F, which is not all that cold. Nevertheless, some equipment doesn't want to start, stay running or otherwise work properly. I've had to break into trucks that were NOT locked, but the doors were frozen shut. Once broken into, does the battery turn the starter? Sometimes (usually single digits presents this problem). I could tell a lot of stories here, long ones and short versions wouldn't do them justice.
My phone can't receive a charge below 32. My power banks can GIVE a charge at zero, but can't receive a charge below 32, which makes no sense to me. I pretty much make a point of keeping all rechargeable batteries above 32° F.
Good morning, y'all! We have 55 and sunshine with wind gusts to 15 here today. I'm finally going to set the rogue bathroom tile this morning. I'm all prepped with videos and tools, so it's time to git 'er done. This afternoon is the grandson's last basketball game of the year, so we will go cheer him on. Gotta get my Eagles garb ready to go for tomorrow. Have a great day, everyone!
Morning Folks. It is 10f on the frosty porch. 40f and light winds in the forecast today. Only task that needs done is a trip over the hill to the dump. I'm looking forward to the afternoon walk without the cold wind hitting me in the face. Alice started soaking the beans for the Ham & Navy Bean Soup we are making for tomorrow's Super Bowl viewing party at the Saloon. Sunny days mean lots of power, so early this afternoon I will do a few needle drops. Have a great day and take care.
Good Afternoon, Community!
Sunny, no wind, 8°C. Pretty pleasant for a walk.
Have a restful Saturday!

It's that time of year! Yesterday, it was 50+f at 2pm, by 5pm it was cold enough for the snow coming down to stay snow. In the 50's in the house this morning so I had to turn on the electric heat. My outside cat has been yowling at me to let him out. Im other words, a typical Wyoming winter weather occurrence.
I'm trying to change my nature. I was born at 3:14 am and that made me a night person and slow in the morning. I got up late as sleep was slow to come last night, about 7:30am I drug myself out of bed, much to the cats insistence. Drank my 2 cups of home roast, played Fallout 4 and just getting around to making breakfast at 10am. I've been trying to eat bigger meals in the morning as my normal fair has me hungry a couple hours later. So has it was , a heaping plate with potatoes, sweet onions, grated carrot and scrambled egg. Yesterday a similar meal kept me going till 5pm. I've been eating poorly in the evening because I have so much I need to get done I get after it right up till when I should be eating dinner. Being disabled and single has screwed up my normal routine. Here it is almost 10:30 am and I'm farting around. I still have to meditate and do my stretches before I can start cleaning the house. I have been better about getting music in the house , one step at a time to normalcy.
Still working on my house refinance. I 've tried to work with my credit union but twice now they have failed me. I tied to talk to the manager but she was too busy and had already helped me with some paperwork I needed, she didn't me an appointment at that time. Then trying to make an appointment on the internet was also fruitless, I made an appointment but unknowingly it was not in person but over the phone. There was no indication of this on the website and after making it . the screen just told me I made an appointment, no details. I'm probably repeating myself but this weighs heavy on my mind. I doubt they can match what I get from the biggest lender in the country anyhow, but I'll think on it some more over the weekend.
Time for the massage chair, some music and meditation to soothe my soul.
Stay warm and have a day to remember. john

Good morning.
Time to finish off the receiver- I'm going to go through and reflow the solder points in the area of interest. Hopefully that's it, and gets placed back into the system. The one being used is a RS STA-90; it sounds similar, but is not the same. I formed on that Technics and it goes deep into my history.
It's also time to pick up the Art and Aesthetics, and The Inner Game of Outdoor Photography books and press on into them (again).
Have a good day and do something great that would make you do this:
