Getting packed and ready to turn over cat care to our house sitter in the morning.  Heading off to Wisconsin to join the wife and her family for Christmas.  It looks like Milwaukee will be about 10 degrees warmer than Reno for the next week.  A balmy 40 rather the 30s here.

Hey y'all.

I'm set free of education now! Until January that is.

Got a bit of white stuff today, though pretty much only while we were cutting a Christmas tree...   Naturally.

Going to be setting it up tomorrow.

Well, I've turned over house sitting duties, and waiting for the cab to show up.  I'll put the pots on for everyone.  Taking the laptop, but not sure how often I'll find a wi-fi hot spot (no car to go to the library while I'm back there).

So I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

[Silver Creek Slim]

Morning y'all.
Coffee is hot.

Another lab, Slim?

Yes, Black Lab and Aussie Cattle dog (Blue Heeler). 4 months old.

Merry Christmas, Russ T.

Gonna steal a Christmas tree from the neighbor this morn.

'Tis 12 and sunny. High of 26.

Pots still on, made a fresh pot, got a cup, wicked old slave driver in this sewing sweatshop gave me a coffee break.

Doing the machine sewing on 21 quilted Christmas stockings for presents.  Got her a good one, I can sew them faster than she can pin them and a lot faster than she can sew them on her machine.  LOL, she don't think she has ever done her's, I clean and lube mine after 3-4 hours running time, guess I should do that for her tomorrow.

[Good Troy]

Yeah, if it fills you'll be out of luck, but I won't, somebody else I know or would like to know will get yer place.   

Is that to imply you'd rather another get the spot!
Gee, I missed doing registration again this weekend.  Too much Ho, Ho, OH NO! shopping going on this weekend for me.

Morning y'all.
Coffee is hot.

On vacation this week. Doing to a neighbor's house this afternoon to fix computers.
The puppy, Bullet, had fun playing in the mud puddles this morning during our walk. Now, he is tied outside. 

Got the lights on the tree last night.

'Tis 34 and misting. "Cloudy. Light rain likely in the morning...Then a slight chance of light rain in the afternoon. Patchy fog in the morning. Highs in the upper 30s. North wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70 percent."

No never, but I always like everyone that shows up, so if you snooze you lose.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

That seems like a heck of a combination,Slim

Our new one is doing pretty good, Slim. house breaking is a bit of a problem  yet, but she's just a little love button. The dachsy has relented some, but when it comes to food, all bets are off.

[Delmonico]

Cleaned and lubed both machines today.

How redneck is a Sears Craftsman sewing box, moving it to a larger one when this project is done.   

Pay back later, gathering material for some new shirts, she will cut and pin and I sew, should be able to whip some out pretty quickly.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Bullet is house broken, but sometimes he gets excited and has an accident. 
He was quartering this morn on our walk tracking something.

Mother-in-law has a black Singer like that.

Ours is having somewhat of a problem with the water switch,I think. Somewhat runny. Or, the pain pills the vet sent home with her might be the problem too. She sticks to me like glue. This evening when I took Sandy's senior citizen girl out, Chloe followed me right out the door. Luckily she stopped right in front of me when she got to the grass

[Four-Eyed Buck]

I'll start the pots

57 and rain here, still dark. All 4 dogs have been out. we have a grand over night and the new girl does have a bark. Barked at the grand 5 or six times yesterday evening

[Silver Creek Slim]

Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.

'Tis 28 and dark. Dusting of sn*w overnight. "Cloudy. A chance of freezing drizzle and light snow in the morning. Highs in the upper 30s. Light and variable wind becoming southeast 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation 40 percent."

Christmas gifts that is, Rita did the quilting and pinning, I just sewed them all together.   They are lined, I went through about 400 yards of thread, about 2/3 rds of 2 spools.   Works good that way, i keep my main sewing machine tuned and lubed well and can really turn stuff out if she does the prep.   I guess our dining room is Rita's sweatshop.   

My project was to did all the cast iron I've collected over the years for cheap or free and clean it up and season it.   My daughters and SD, 2 nephews and a niece get to take turns picking what the want, need to sort more in the cupboard and figure out what I'm actually keeping.  Got two 15" skillets, two 12" chicken fryers, 3 stove top dutch ovens, sauce pans with lids and bread pans, none in the picture that ain't going out of my kitchen.   Will likely keep 3-4 of the smaller skillets.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Those stockings look great,Del

I'll start the pots. It's 51 and damp here. Two out of four have been out.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.

Worked on putting in a storm door on the front of the house. Need to finish this morn before the rain starts.
Birthday party last night. Another one tonight.

'Tis 37 and fog. "Not as cool. Rain in the morning...Then rain and a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Areas of fog. Highs around 50. Southeast wind 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent."
