Coffee anyone ?

The first snow of winter was yesterday, at first it seemed like mist, but it only lasted a few minutes at most. I wouldn’t have even noticed had the goats not escaped and forced an emergency fence fix. Which the electricity still isn’t working.

Sunny and nice day again. Cold overnight mid 20's . Got some stuff packed and a bunch of boxes brought up to new house. Nice to not be freezing trying to do stuff. Looks like a fair week, maybe cold by the end of the week. No snow... but better yet, no rain and wet....

We’ve only had two small snows so far this year, here in Central Indiana, which both melted within a few days. I’m not complaining, but DH is. We are from Michigan, and he says if it’s going to be cold, it ought to at least have pretty snow.

Coffee is on.
school, speech and unload the trailer full of hay. Dumpster is full so DH is happy. Have a 4h council meeting. Temps will stay under freezing but the ground isn’t completely froze yet.

Thanks for the coffee PA. You have a full dumpster? That’s a good thing! How much more plaster to tear out?
Every thing is white. Snowy and beautiful outside, but the sky is just a continuation of white. @Bruce if I had to look at the sky like this for months, it sure would get gloomy. But the sunshine will be back tomorrow! It’s 34 now, climbing to 43 and drop to 27 tonight. Small clumps of snow are already falling from the trees. No ice under the snow but it will freeze to ice tonight. It sure is pretty right now. It won’t be so pretty in a little while when I start hauling hot water and busting ice so the animals can get a drink. LOL

So these work on home canning jar lids cuz that's what I'm talking about I've never had any issue with regular lids but these have been on here for about 8 years. The contents are history but I'd love to reclaim those jars.

It should. I suspect back when mine was patented canning lids were about the only type around. The one I found online has the same mechanics as mine. Turn the handle clockwise and the gears open the clamping parts out to about 4". Twist the handle counterclockwise and the gears pull the clamping parts tight on the lid, the handle gives you mechanical advantage to unscrew it. The hard part is getting a grip on the round glass jar with your other hand.

Not pitch black at 5p.m. anymore...

It is here!!

In this picture it seems incredible to think that he could clear the jump

Exactly what I was thinking looking at the picture!

he says if it’s going to be cold, it ought to at least have pretty snow.

Can't disagree with that! Though there is the possibility of too much. A nice sprinkling of an inch or so every few days keeps the ground nicely white.

You have a full dumpster? That’s a good thing!

Until the bill shows up! Good to get rid of the stuff but at least here it costs a bundle to get it emptied. It cost me nearly $400 for a 10 yard dumpster when I cleaned out the prior house.

@Baymule The plaster is mostly finished of the upstairs ( just behind the tub to do), so probably a bit more past half finished with plaster. We have a 2 yard dumpster that gets dumped every other week, so we try really hard to get it filled every couple of weeks. it's $76 per month, it's over 50 to get a "regular" can so the dumpster isn't that much more to pay, and it holds more than twice more than a typical can. We can fill it above the rim and also put another can beside if need be. It's worked well for moving the plaster, I think it holds 2-3 rooms worth of plaster. Anyways it works. DH told me I need to pick out a new front door.

Hi,

I'm really sorry for intruding, but I was wondering if anyone could let me know how to delete my account on here? I continue to belong to BYC, but with hectic life happenings, I find myself not using BYH a whole lot.
I'd appreciate any help.
I used 'Contact Us' to send in a message, but wanted to ask here just in case... thank you and have a good evening.

Coffee is on.
Got the hay unloaded. Next boxes in for two more does. Today school, bring in firewood and possibly groceries. Those rabbit cages are going need to be cleaned soon too.


@theangryhen sorry I don't know how to do that...

 

[Mini Horses]

@theangryhen, why delete it? Just don't visit. But you can "unwatch" any thread if you're getting email notes. Hey, you may want to stop in and say hi now and then.

We're having a good week of temps here....like a lot of the country. I'll take it, actually deserve it. . Rain predicted last week has evaporated, like that part. Sunshine is here, too. It makes me want to get outside!

Hope everyone else is having a delightful day!
