No, that is a cone of shame.  No need to shame him, however if the snow would have got deeper we could have saved the trip. ::)

My parents and brother surprised us last night by showing up at the front door with my dog. So they're here for the weekend.

82 and partly sunny yesterday. Had Pork Chops on the grill.

We get all of our meats, seafood and produce from a nearby by Amish Market  Great food and reasonable prices.
You need to learn to like all the little everday things like a sip of good whiskey, a soft bed, a glass of buttermilk,  and a feisty old gentleman like myself

Moving slow today, went running errands for over 6 hours yesterday, got groceried up again.    Got BIL set, carried part of them in, my helper got the heavy stuff.   Taxes are done, was plain tired and Rita fixed supper last night, heated up some of my sloppy joe stash.   Got in and checked BP and was 117/65 and HR of 85.  not bad for a phat old man with problems.   

Rita went to appointment and is running a friend who don't drive, they have to get me pretty soon to get Lexie and get some toilet paper and some more food bags in case I generate lefteovers.  Got an Eastern Africa blend on coffee to add to the stash, want to try it but need vacuum bags for most of it.   Could have spent a lot on coffee yesterday, COSCO had several I don't have but want.   Loaded up on snacks, got Brazil nuts, English Walnuts and dried apricots.   Big COSCO bags. ::)

Well at least if we up and die or get sent to a nursing home permanently the kids can eat well while cleaning out the house.

Good Morning!

Hot coffee and cold cereal is the fare. Help yourselves. (Sorry, I just don't feel like cooking yet.)

-4℉ now, with more light snow expected mid-morning to add to the 3" we got overnight. This has definitely been the most wintery Winter we've had in a long time.

Up to a toasty 13, headed for a high of 14. Guessers are guessing -11 Tuesday. Making a mighty effort to thaw pipes today, before the bottom really drops out tomorrow. Got 2 places where the trench wasn't filled in yet, still had some work to do there. Built a long narrow fire alongside the pipe, covered with an old piece of tin. First one I did thawed already, got my frost free hydrant flowing again. At least the hydrant didn't freeze, just the place where I had some valves, set down in a piece of culvert pipe.

In other(culinary) news, catfish (store bought) for lunch in a few minutes.

Was +4 a bit ago, I remember saying asking yesterday if anyone NEEDED anything else, was not planning on going anywhere till Thursday morning (that sub or almost sub zero air just burns my lungs).  Well someone forgot they needed the big boo boo Band-Aids for incisions that are leaking.  A no on the duck tape and paper towel. ::)  Well since it's a pain for her to get dressed with the sump pump I went, not a bad thing, had a rash start on my arm and no goop for that to be found and by Thursday who knows, it might have needed amputated.  Or I could wear the collar of shame.   

Having another cup, then pancakes and sausage, kid wants them, so I will.    ::)  Grandpa's can be easy.

Kitchen store?  Did otto-connect bite you in the butt? ;D

So much for staying in till Thursday morning, wife sprung a leak, called Dr and went in to his office, was a hematoma that was breaking up, normal, but messy.   We thought that was what it was but wanted to make sure.   The Band-Aids ain't big enough to stop it so he suggested getting a box of panty liners.   So we stopped at the store and I went in since she has blood stains on her sweats.  Got a box and went up front, two young guys, yeah I know the drill, I worked retail, before he could ask me if I wanted a sack (yes, guys always do) I said what a hell of a night and told him what happened and how there was blood and drainage all over and how these would work well and how every first aid kit should have maxi pads and duck tape in them.  Hope they got their normal color back before the next customer, I hate dealing with green cashiers. ::) ;D
