What's everybody doing today?

[zannej]

Rainy weather makes me sleepy. Mom's Dexcom sensor snagged on her clothes and pulled loose-- clothes got under the plastic part and yanked the needle out and it bent so it wouldn't go back in and it was only in for 2 days before that happened. I've asked her to try to be more careful. She only has one dexcom sensor left and the supply place won't be mailing out new sensors until March 4.

I've been trying to figure out what I need to put an AAV in under my kitchen sink since having a proper vent doesn't seem feasible-- unless I could figure out how to do an island vent but that might get in the way of the water supply lines. Can't put stuff in that exterior wall. The floor under the sink is destroyed so at least I have more wiggle room for putting a new pipe down. I know I need a sanitary tee, some pipe, a better P-trap with a trap adapter, a combo wye and a cleanout. Maybe some unions just in case. Need to make sure that whatever cleanout plug I get works with whatever I use at the end of the wye. And I need to doublecheck to find out what size pipe it is under the house. Could be 1.5" but could also go up to 2". With all the rain there are too many big puddles to climb under and look-- although I suppose I could try to look through the hole in the floor but my fat behind might fall through. LOL.

Kitties have been unhappy with the weather and have been fighting. Gravy Jones has decided that Rupert is his prison girlfriend and keeps going after him so I have to keep them separated. Rupert came running to me earlier while Gravy was calling to him. Rupert has been sleeping curled up with me. Princess is helping to guard him right now.

Got some groceries so brother should be able to make some beef soup soon.

Busy workday. Going to clean my building then cleaning my Thursday job because I didn't go Thursday!! Hubby has a bunch of repair jobs at the building so I'll stop by there again on my way home to make sure he kept it clean!

On my way to church today, I stopped at the lively flea market and grabbed some great seeds from my friend Bobby!

Husband's done that with sensors, and they are expensive. Now I put a sensor protector on it, goes on like a large bandaid, called adhesive patches or adhesive covers. The company will probably send you a free sensor if you call them and ask. They will if it's just rarely.

Going into the bigger town after lunch and after chores for shopping, probably Walmart and Aldi. It's already 29 degrees and going to 60!!! So excited about that. Funny how I get excited about nice weather at the end of Winter.

Today is a cigar day. Meeting a good friend at the cigat bar where we will smoke a few, probably watch the golf tournament, and solve all the problems of the world. Bacpacker, I will be thinking of you, Bro. Hope they have good cigars in Heaven.

It must be Sunday. We're having biscuits and gravy this morning! We're getting some heavy snow this morning. If it quits snowing later I'll get the snowblower out and clear the road. Until then I think I'll change the oil in my Jeep.

got up late so went on to check sheep first thing, still no lambs. I am pretty sure they are now officially late
no water leaks in the barn, the old valve we put on it held, and I just ordered some more of those and a new faucet too , old one leaks too
Then I was going to finally start some seed trays and ...the potting soil is frozen solid! Just put it inside
Today the goal is to check fencing and take fallen branches out in one pasture and tighten up the electric tape to keep dogs in and little goats from getting stuck in some places. Not sure I posted this, but we are most likely getting a new livestock dog. Someone in our club is selling a 9 month old puppy because he won't leave their chickens alone and they have too many. He is good with lambs. The lady offered to bring him here , it's a long drive. She is also willing to take him back if Rosie hates him, or he bothers the goats ( they have no goats only sheep) . It's a Marema /Akbash mix.
Best way to get over a dog, is to get another one. Plus we really need 2 LGDs

I still didn't get up as early as I wanted but it's eariler than yesterday..
It's warming up..it's been raining. Supposed to snow too a bit but I haven't seen any yet. I'm ok with that. The snow we do have is going to melt probably too fast tho n cause some issues with run off on the burn scars and local creeks n waterways. The only way it might affect me is if it overflows the road on the way to or back from work in a few spots. Or causes a avalanche in the canyon n shuts the road down. Both have happened before n most times the crews have it cleared in a few hours.
Most times I seem to be at work when it happens and I get stuck there. One time the creeks were overflowing running across the road when I was going to work. It was 5 am, dark n raining like crazy.
If a bridge is has water going across it, even if only a few inches..I'm not driving over it. Who's to say that bridge won't collapse when 90 percent of it is under water n stressed by forces it wasn't designed to take. I doubt these little bridges around here have been looked at in decades probably except for one bigger one that got a face-lift a few years back in the canyon to widen it.
I've seen a few dead folks who drowned in their car..mostly because they drove off the road n ended up in a river or creek. Not how I want to go..I parked my truck in town untill I could see n told my boss sorry..but I'll be there when I can see what I'm driving on. A few other folks didn't make it in that morning as I found out later on. One actually had his house flooding by a nearby creek, another had to cross over a creek a few times to get off his road but the creek was overflowing the bridges all the way to the highway.

Anyways, I stay far away from flooding. Water is powerful. That partly why I went high n dry.

Today, I have a few chores I need to do..not sure if I'll walk the pups..but mostly it will be a chill day to relax.

I've been up and down all night.

it's nice when it is not frozen solid outside! Still cold here but just below 32 and the sun is shining , we put all the animals except the pregnant sheep out

Most bridges in your area have been replaced in the last 5 - 10 years or so. But it's still not a good idea to drive over one thats under water. A few years ago we had a quick snow melt and there was water around many houses in town and the water was up to the top of the bridge leading to town. The sheriff was there keeping an eye on the bridge. I stopped and we BS'ed for awhile then I went on in to town.
This winter is looking a lot like that one. We could have some flooding this spring.

 

[OldSchool]

Today taking a few necessary steps to survive and maybe prosper. Just to do it all over again tomorrow. lol ... Every day is a new day.

wow, you guys sound great!!

I had a blast! Everyone in the room had been in bands, been on stage. Except one young lady and she's married to a professional musician so she knows how to play too. It's such a pleasure to sit with folks like this and just play for the sheer joy of it. It's not work, it's just fun! I learned as a young man the word 'stage' took all the fun out it, for me anyway.

Little granddaughter is done with morning chores and is picking away on her electric guitar upstairs, I can hear her. She doesn't like an audience.
