Had to get a new Batt for the John Deere,
 gee's they are proud of their DECAL + 35.00 at JD, compared to the same size & cranking amps at Tractor Supply.
Tractor Supply it was then, plus I get my $10 core back.

Battery installed in a snap, and cranks over great !  I could run the core back    eh...feels more like a Monday thing.

Looking forward to the pix's of the New to you Smith

Inch or so of snow last night about 10, going to warm up tomorrow.

I thought things might be slowing down around here with the wife gone for three weeks, but NOT TRUE. 

First, she got a fender bender from a lady that didn’t believe in lane lines, sharing insurance, or drivers license and drove off (I do believe that’s called “leaving the scene of an accident”) but that is being taken care of.  But I had to get her car over for an estimate and repair schedule with her in Oregon. DONE!

Second, clothes washer repair visit she scheduled before leaving for Oregon.  DONE!

Third, clothes dryer vent cleaning she scheduled before leaving for Oregon.  DONE!

Fourth, Window installation for front of house windows to fix messed up order (ordered windows with grids but came with plain panels).  Scheduled before leaving for Oregon.  DONE!

The last three sent the cats into hiding each day.

Then the battery in the 4 Runner decided to croak. DONE!

The good thing that’s happening around here is sn*w!  We are getting another 6 to 8 inches over the weekend.  More than that on the Hill.  The last report is over 400” in the Tahoe area and the ski hills are taking lift tickets thru Memorial Day.

I’m just glad we are close to 800’ above the Truckee River when this all melts and comes thru downtown!!

Spent a good coupla hours yesterday looking for my 38S&W dies, they have not so far been located. 
 After some thought, I have decided the last time I used them was pre- Covid panic-demic.
I have some 200 grain Matt's bullets in route, arriving today, tomorrow or maybe Monday.
  I may have to call Titan Reloading and replace my missing set, which should be just what is needed to locate my hidden set  .
No huge deal, except it's annoying as "HE double toothpicks" gonna go out and look again

Remember the best way to find them is to buy replacements.  However if the replacements come with a free refund policy you won’t find the old ones until the day after the policy expires.!

Cat woke me up. Now I can't sleep.
Plowed the driveway with the Ferguson 30 last night.
Looks like we got another 1"+ since. 
Men's breakfast at 0800 at church.

Yes Sir, a Corollary which describes a result that is the natural consequence of something else.
  Like...wash the car and it rains. 

Off to the U-see-um shortly, Saturday & Sundays are now my gig. 

[Silver Creek Slim]

Morning y'all.
Coffee and tea are hot.

Off to the men's breakfast in a bit.
Then pickup the suburban from the tranny r&r.

'Tis 12 and overcast. High of 29.

Hiay folks, Slim have a great prayer breakfast, those are fun! Major, hope the weekend is fun for you.
41 here right now with a cold rain going on. Not gonna shoot, because the back is yelping, but gotta run over and pick up bullets and say Hi to everyone. Then back home and watch the first Cardinal's ballgame  of the year on TV. Y'all be good.

[Delmonico]

I get to stay home today, some of it with just the animals, will probably clean again.  On days I have to run I get tired and don't get much done.  Slept almost 10 hours so that helps, going to have coffee and set up the weeks pills before I get started much.  Got to tend sourdough stuff, dietician lady I had to talk to on Tuesday was decent to talk to.  She understood the way good sourdough lowers carbs and helps the Type 2.   

Light rye.  A dark rye is working, I like sourdough because I can get it ready and pretty much bake it when I want.

Was reading some more material about sourdough and they were talking about the 3 types, they were more kind, I call it real sourdough and pretend but what ever.

Type 1-Sourdough starter is the only leavening, often takes days, the real sourdough, made by people who understand it, some are yuppie creatures that are into weird ferment teas and who knows what because they think their gut bacteria needs replaced all the time.

Type 2-Made with a live starter but often has yeast added, commonly made by Yuppies who often call and ugly loaf of bread Artisan to cover up failure.

Type 3-The stuff from most bakeries and the type from fast food places, made by adding dried sourdough starter that comes in 50 pound bags to the dough to make it sourdough flavor.

Since the other curator, resigned, I've been asked to cover some of his hours.
In the short run that's OK, But I hired on for just 2 days a week and being retired that's all I wanted.
The Director says he has a candidate or at least some kind of plan...
I was to switch to Sat. Sun.... perfect because of weekday traffic congestion.
I was just asked to continue to cover Wednesday and Sat Sun....
 I agreed to next week, but beyond that just 2 days "PLEASE"

Evening all.

Finally got above freezing here today. Well, they called it 33 degrees anyway: none of the ice melted though.  In any case, I took the opportunity to spend most of my morning working on my truck. Got the engine control computer out (only broke a couple other things in the process. None of them were important, but the running board was disappointing), and as I suspected three of the capacitors inside were the culprits. I had hoped to be able to just replace them, but they had leaked their alkali juices onto the board and made it unsalvageable(it actually ate through the board itself in one place, and dissolved pins off of the trans. control chip and ignition control chip). So I have a new one coming by mail, hopefully arriving Tuesday.

In other news, I got kicked by a baby horse today while rescuing it from a tangle of fencing. Fine way to show appreciation. It didn’t get me too hard, just a glance on the side. Fortunately not the side with injured rib at least.

Thank you for the hot bevy's.

[DeaconKC]

Slim, your reports make even more glad I moved out of Cheekago all them years ago! Yikes, that makes my ears hurt even thinking about those temps and sleet and...
I feel guilty sayin' it was 70 degrees and sunny here today, the Pear Trees out front are starting to bloom. Pulling a few hours at the shop this week. Getting the taxes done tomorrow, hope we don't need to pay out this year.
Anyway, y'all have a good evening.
