Good morning all, it's 36 and sunny here this morning. I've been fighting a low-class bug for a couple days, but feeling better today. Gonna take the Missus Attack Shopping later today, I will relax in the car with a good book while she does that.

Hope you guys all have a great day.

Well good morning folks from sunny central Arkansas. 51 here, supposed to hit 60F today. Well our getaway plans were interrupted last night when our neighbor called us and said our compressor was making at lot of noise at home. So we had our nephew go by and he said it sounded alright to him, but LadyC was nervous about it, so we went ahead and drove home last night. Got in before Midnight and it seems to be okay, it's working anyway, and the installer will come by sometime today to give it a lookover. So we lost a day of hotel room staying, but I do admit it felt good to be back in our own bed.

Thanks fellows, pretty exciting doings
The Mrs. is out doing errands; etc.
I went and got my SUV washed and grabbed breakfast.

Sorry about your curtailed getaway Kevin.

Going to be a who knows what weekend.  Right now, the worst is to miss us but the wrong cow pharts and who knows. 

Stocked up and don't need to go anywhere.

[Delmonico]

Not terrible out there, dusting and a tiny bit of ice.  Riley went out on the long lead, I stayed inside.

If it' ad he often decides it's not an emergency and comes right back in.

We had great time, I'd like to share with you my friend some photos.
I drove my daughter to the Bridal walk in this Model T.
  That is "SHE" Brides Mother, and my best Half.
The walk down the aisle.
  The brides first dance with the old man.

 Thank you for sharing these precious moments with us. Those are beautiful pictures for you to treasure.

[Major 2]

Thanks Johnny, I am looking forward to the professional photographers many posed and random shots.
The venue was VERY nice, a Wedding Venue Bed & Breakfast.
A Log cabin served as the Groomsman's retreat.
And Beautiful little cottage for the Bride and her bridesmaids.
I drove the Model T from there to the brick walk, courtyard and pavilion.
It is nestled in the rolling hills near Minneola.
Rolling Hills in Central Florida? Is this really Florida? You bet it is.

Major, I forgot to mention. You looked pretty spiffy there. Cool necktie!

Thank you, Dinosaurs ! the tie is harking back to Her little girl days She had them all in plastic, loves Animals, in fact their rescue Dogs were in the wedding procession.
Including the Rescue 3-legged Pit Bull (she's a sweet dog) and rode in Radio Flier stake wagon

I guess I clean up pretty well, course the camera adds 20 pounds.
  Not sure how many cameras were on ME

I hope the T Model had a self-starter.     I would want a safe place for 5 minutes practice first to drive it, been a long time and maybe once. 

Could leave it running and the few who could steal it wouldn't.

Made 22 today with close to 0 WC and high humidity. Nothing to worry about but )2 is a little low today, normal for the weather.  Decided to not go to the town Christmas party though. Just in case the congestion and that ain't just the cold.

Matt aka Gopher Grease came by and got us, and we ran to NE City to Walmart last night. We took Riley, wasn't as cold and he likes to watch while we are in the store.  Got home and he told me to take Riley and un-lock the door, and he would carry the groceries in.

May reach 50 tomorrow, may run to the farm and fine tune the 513-T, been cold enough to not worry about fleas on the squirrels.

Del it's a resto-modified in Elec, EZ to drive.
 But they have a wrangler, and she gives you a brief tutorial and I drove a test route.
It had a Florida tag, so I assume its road worthy. No idea top speed, but it has some instant zip, get up and go Torc.

[Silver Creek Slim]

We are home from MN. If was a cold one.

Sounds like a nice wedding.

That picture looks like WI.

After 23 days of rehab, I went to a motel in Minnesota. We will fly back to Florida this coming Sunday. I'm able to walk with the aid of a walker.

At breakfast, I looked out the window and asked someone "what's that white  stuff outside?". They thought I was nuts. It's been seven years since I have seen the evil whute stuff. I Used to pray for snow when I skied.

My goal is get back in our communties pool and walk witout a walker.

Atached is the PDF file of a story I wrote about this incident entitled "One False Move".

Afternoon all.

41 and rain at the north end of the Sacramento Valley.

Had to take the last two days off because the heater in the house went out, and the maintenance guy wanted someone to be around when he showed up. Ended up being the thermostat.

Major, congrats to your family.

I'm about to take 2 weeks off for Christmas starting at the end of the week. I think of of the projects I might tackle is refinishing the grips on my Philippine 1911. I'm not a huge fan of the lacquer finish it came with, but the wood has a nice grain and color: I'm guessing mahogany. I imagine a few coats of hand rubbed linseed oil would be an improvement. Worst case scenario, I don't like the result and have an excuse to buy some staghorn grips.
