Coffee anyone ?

Insurance should cover most...maybe?

Depends on your insurance. Our dental doesn't cover fillings.

NOAA weather service has changed their radar map and I don't like it.

I hate it too!!!! Takes FOREVER to load and not nearly as useful imagery as the old one. You can zoom in, there is a + and - control on the lower left.

My dentist here makes the crowns in the office. They are not gold, but a porcelain type stuff. They use a special thing on the computer and draw edges all around the picture on the image of my mouth/tooth....have watched them do it and it is really neat; then it takes about an hour.... WAH LAH..... new crown. Put it in, make sure it fits, cement, and then maybe do a little gringing to get the top to match the opposite molar it comes down on, so the bite is right. Have had about 3 done here in this dentist office. I had to have one replaced that was done years and years ago....

Luckily, I don't mind the dentist. Not in love with the needles to numb.... but he is very good and barely feel them. No pain, just a weird feeling and then it is almost instantly numb. DS has a lot of anxiety going to dentist. He uses a different one. I used to go to that one, then switched to one, didn't like him much, then went to this one and will stay here hopefully forever.....

Needles in my mouth, gums, doesn't bother me. No anxiety, no nerves, just don't care. They numb it all up, what's the big deal?

New NOAA radar sucks. I even had it on my phone, I hate it now. Old radar had county lines, it was easy to pinpoint our area.

Coffee is on your majesties.
Got the plaster done as far as we could in the upstairs bathroom and down the front stairwell as far as we could reach. Today we are working on the firwood, needs split and stacked. DH is off until Monday. He was informed that he'll get another week's vacation next year. he was at 3 last year with 10 years in, but they changed policy that you get 4 at 10 years, 3 at 5 years. Better late than never. A good year for it.

Great news on the extra vacation! That is how it was where I worked with a 5th week at 20 years. They have since changed it to cap at 4 weeks.

But it was pretty much extra vacation in name only for salaried people who were tasked with getting projects done on a schedule and the number of "billable hours" per year affecting the annual rating. Basically every hour taken on vacation was "paid for" with unpaid overtime either before or after the vacation time was taken.

. I claim my coffee!

Overcast, sprinkles all day...in fact, next 4 days. Better get used to it.

Just gonna try to chill....this is getting to me. Get my vit D! .

Goats got new bedding yesterday, cause they will be inside a lot, too. Guess I'm ready for the ball to drop! It will be a glass of wine...may be up at midnight, maybe not. No biggie.

Stay safe everyone.

Just came in. Pouring rain now, I grabbed a lull in the rain to run, make that SLOP out in the rain, to go feed and do chores. Yesterday, last night and so far this morning, we have gotten 3 inches. More to come!

I heated up the last half cup of coffee after taking off wet clothes. Took chicken out of freezer, going to make orange chicken tonight and egg nog for New Year's Eve while we watch the festivities on TV.

Yesterday I made potstickers and froze half of them. They were good for something different for a change.

Y'all have a great day!

I finally got my wish for real winter.
It quit piddling along and snowed all day yesterday, still snowing now but just dandruff. Haven't measured but it's well more than a foot.
6" overnight.
I got a chance to use my new roof rake that I bought last winter and then ended up not needing because dh got up there and shoveled it all off like the stubborn old guy he is. Was that a run on sentence?

Anyway the rake was pretty effective and kind of fun. Since I was just playing with it I'm sure the fun will cease today when we are out there in earnest taking care of the roof. Dh will use the Avalanche slippy slide thing and I'll use the rake.
Hopefully the snowblower will tackle the piles that come off.
Thanks for the coffee. I'll have another with the Royal Cream please.
