Well not a bad day here today but calling for a storm later on tonight. Up to around four or five inches of the white stuff is what they are calling for.  Talk Soon.

Well had a great day here but then again any day is good living up here in the north.  Spent most the day with family. I did though sneak off for a bit to my shop as I got a used planner for my Christmas Present this year. My boys bought it for me along with my oldest boys Fiancee. So sure made my day.  Its an older machine but heavy cast iron one as I didn’t want one of those new light CTC ones.  This one is taking a bit of work to get working properly but almost there now.  Just need a couple new belts and should be up and running. Well it’s running now but this is just preventative maintenance.  I did run a few boards through it today and got to say it sure worked like a charm. I also had to shorten the one chain that drives the in-feed rollers,  not a big deal but the way it was it wouldn’t even pull the wood through.  Probably that is why the fellow sold it. Thing is,  if a fellow or gal puts their minds to these things they can end up with some real nice equipment for a minimal cost.   Now finishing off the day chatting to my lovely wife and my youngest boy Karl. My oldest had to leave for home as they had to go to work. But I had a good time with them while they were here. So better go, talk soon and again Merry Christmas.

.

Well Christmas is almost here.  We had the boys up for a visit, the oldest has left for home and the youngest is staying for a week.  Had a real good time while they were here just not long enough.  Yesterday we had heavy rain but the good part it got rid of some ice dams on my roof. One more day like that would have cleaned it right up. Oh well that’s the way it goes.  This morning though woke up to about five more inches of snow so that guaranteed a white Christmas.  My speed for the weather station is froze up so won’t be able to upload the wind speed till it thaws out a bit.  The directional works though after a bit of work.  Talk Soon

Looks like a wee bit of sunshine here for today and warming up tomorrow and on Sunday.  Kind of hoping for that so the ice dams on my roof will melt.  Guess I got to do something about them next year. Talk Soon.

Looks like some sunshine is heading our way for later on today and tomorrow. Hoping so as my boys will be on the HWY tomorrow afternoon or evening. Although there is a freezing rain and fog statement out there for Friday night.  Well not much one can do just have to keep the fingers crossed for the bad stuff to hold off till they are in view.  Talk Soon
