It's 3 degs here this morning. We're having biscuits and gravy for breakfast. We'll go feed and water everyone and then I'll get the snow blower out and make a couple passes on the road. If it all goes well I should have the road open by tomorrow.
I'm feeling better this morning. It looks like it'll be a nice day, except they're calling for more snow tonight.
 
Think I'll continue pressing out tinctures this morning. I've put this job off far too long but it's time. It'll free up a lot of jars for this season.

I need to finish cleaning up all the socket sets today. At least go up to the shop change out the gasoline I have them soaking in. Maybe get them into a big feed trough to dry later this afternoon.

Haven't been able to get in touch with a friend for several days, worried. Her daughter was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer 3 weeks ago... (poor kid had a husband and 4 kids under 9). Think I need to call some of my friend's cousins, which are also my cousins. Maybe someone has heard some news. :(
 
No, you would not see me on TV.
I usually work behind the scenes.
I am retired Military Police Officer, but read all sorts of cold cases files of police reports etc.
That's what I went to school for and I enjoy it for the most part.
That's really awesome..and that you enjoy it..
 
This last 2 work weeks kicked my butt and I slept good last night.
Me one of my bosses and my forklift driver were driving up to work together a few times due to the crap road conditions like slick ice slush n snow and temps in the 20's. Getting up the mountain at least a hour early, 5am..uggh..which means I'm up at 0345ish.
The last 2 years the state road plows have been understaffed..so counting on the roads to be plowed is iffy. The last few storms we've had alot of vehicles ..mostly semis and out of towners have been having slideoffs. Locals know better and most slow down but the roads are crappy to drive at 5am especially is snow is comming down n the roads are iffy.
Plus, the forklifts have been having normal winter challenges, so a few days when it was a challange to get to work anyways, we teamed up to get to work early in one peice and get our machines up n running with a head start b4 full production at 0600.

It's been a long 2 weeks..

Today..I'm doing chores laundry, walk pups, run a few errands, the community meeting is at 2. Finish getting my radio license, come home n get stovie fired up, make lunch for next week n relax at some point..
The next few days are back to really cold nights. Not looking forward to that..
 
Watching tv with the girls, putting off draining some pumps until this afternoon.

@sonya123 , let us know later how Axel is doing!! @GreenAndSwirly , it's been a week of "those" days 😉! @Tommyice , are you getting icy weather?
Axel is not doing well, not even eating the livers I cooked him. He's just laying there. I forced some antibiotics and pain pills down him, hope it will work. Not looking good:( I hate those damned ticks around here. If I had to pick THE worst thing about living here that would be it. Lyme causes lots of problems for humans and animals
