What's everybody doing today?

My portable generator wouldn't start this morning. I moved it in to the shop and put the torpedo heater on it. This generator has a 15 hp motor on it and it's hard enough to start in warm weather.

I have been known to take along a 2000 watt generator on a service call.
when someone has their off grid generator out in the generator shed and it won't start because of cold I get my little one going and point the exhaust right at the frozen one...20 minutes or two cups of coffee later they usually start.

Restful day.. Didn’t try to do any wiring. I pulled cabinet off the wall in the laundry rm. Spent an hour or so sanding it. Had something spilled on one of the shelves, sort of like dried syrup. Took a while to sand that stuff off. One corner of a board broke through a knot so wood glue is on the shopping list. Thinking I’ll do some minor repairs then give it a few coats of polyurethane. Good to go for another 50yrs.

Ordered some more lighting. Getting an led bar to mount on the bottom of the cabinet that will go back above the washer. It plugs into any outlet, has a motion sensor with automatic turn off. It’ll shine in to the washer, hands free operation.

No plans this evening...

Took the Challenger into our little town to the post office, and then it wouldn't start again. Luckily I was right across the street from the auto repair shop, so they came over and put in a new battery for me. It was time. Also put a new battery in my key fob which I always hate to figure out how to open the thing. Lucky I was where I was!
Dropped off three bags of old nonsense at the thrift store, went to the amish grocery for a few things. Came home finally, was gone longer than planned. After lunch I took husband to the bigger town lab for his bloodwork, and then to the pharmacy to pick up his meds. Just got the fire going again. Had it going early morning when it was in the 20's, and the temps are dropping again about now.

I'm so glad for your good screening @MoBookworm1957 !

Didn't make one banana bread today. Bought a 2023 Voyager with 56,000 miles for $26,000 out the door. Tomorrow banana breads!

Make banana bread or spend $26k hmmm let me think on that one
@Patchouli @Pearl can rub dmso wherever she wants to. I’m several states away so won’t smell it. You on the other hand might want to worry . (Also glad puttytat is doing better).
@Bacpacker take care of her (sounds like you are). Hugs and prayers.

Had a check up yesterday with the Cancer Doctor.
I am still cancer free.
I came home and cried with relief, because i had several freckles change color and shape.
Did my blood work up too.
Blood pressure is coming down a little more.
Lost a bit more weight 5 pounds, probably 3.5 inches off my lower stomach and hips.
Started step 5 and 6 of BD exercises.
I still miss my Irishman.
But he will be home after the 21st December.

Congratulations
Happy dance

I can’t believe we’re at the end of the day. I was going all day- barely took time to eat lunch. Made another run to the PO and will do so again tomorrow . I that will be the end of what goes in the mail. I still have some things to wrap, but they don’t have to be mailed so no pressure. Got the pile of laundry done. Made dinner/lunch for tomorrow, have beans soaking so I can cook them tomorrow. It’s porcelain Wednesday, but I didn’t get them done . Hoping to find my dining room table tomorrow and get all the wrapping stuff done and put away.
