Going out to feed Buddy, bring massive amounts of firewood inside, turn on the outside cats' heated mats, make sure everything is ready for temps in the teens!

Got all done that I can do on the new building today. Can't put siding up on the gable end because I'm going to build a couple pony walls for the front door. Can't build the pony walls until I dig down about a foot of ice and put another beam across the front bottom. On pic 2 you can see that I didn't put siding on the outside wall. That's because on phase 2 that will be an inside wall. I haven't decided on the floor yet, gravel or a wooden floor. I'll probably go with gravel since I may do some welding inside.

Took wife for an appt., came home, spoke to son on the phone, then WE determined I need a bottle of Eagle Rare Bourbon Whiskey. It's hard to find, but I lucked out and just picked one up.

Wife just made me a martini, so I guess that'll do it for me.

edit: now on my second martini!

Ugh...survived all our errands...thrift store drop off, post office pickup, Walmart, and then Kohls. Little granddaughter hates clothes shopping, and I hate continually having to wash one of her two favorite outfits that she'll wear to school, so I was insistent. Evidentally "skater pants", kinda saggy bell bottoms are back in style in small town Kansas middleschool. So we went with those and striped tshirts. They have to be striped. And can't be long sleeved.
Just ordered the pizza and wings, and we'll eat that with what ever we play for game night. It's sometimes Apples to Apples

High temp today was a sunny 22 degs with zero wind. Perfect working temp. I moved the saw horses up to the chicken coop and started chipping the lumber out of the snow/ice. I plan on starting to frame in the porch on the south side of the coop. That will help to keep some of the snow from blowing in and blocking the door.
I dug around a little and found the 6×6 beam that I need to put across the front of the new work shop.
I think I over did it today, my right leg is killing me, even worse than it has for months now. The doc says it's related to the herniated disk in my back. I'll see the massage girl next week, and possibly take a trip to a chiropractor next week too. I'll try anything before surgery.
We're supposed to get snow by the last week of the month. Sometime before then I need to go get a hundred gallons or so of off road diesel. I've got about 150 gallons on hand right now, which won't be enough if we get our normal snowfall in February.

A fairly quiet day... this morning I finished setting up the new phones I got for the folks. This afternoon I installed a small light fixture above the lower section of stairs. I should have gotten it wired but the fixture turned into a royal pitb. I'll finished wiring tomorrow. Watching a ballgame on tv this evening. Think I'll eat the last of the peach pie in a bit...

 

[Amish Heart]

Pie is always a good way to end the evening.
We had pizza, wings, and cheesy breadsticks, played a roaring game of Apples to Apples...little granddaughter won, then took an ice cream break, played another game of it and I won that one. Son called in between all that and we caught up on our day with him, usually he calls most every day. His gf bought her first pair of maternity pants, so that was a big deal. She got bell bottoms. Ha Ha.

The fat dog is still limping but getting better..she could handle a walk using her bum leg. I didn't go too far with her. Danny was able to run around , he got major zoomies and had a good time.
After that I got a load of scratch for the birds, got home n put all that away. Got laundry done and the first batch of dog food done.
I got a nice fire goin in stovie..I had plans on watching some more chosen episodes but I'm tired. It's cozy in bed ..temp says it's 68 in the tin can but I just want to relax in bed..listen to the fire crackle n chill.
I'm going to try n keep my fire going all night..well see how that goes..
