Promise, can't like your 18 !!
Bay, about the same here....today & next week. Mid 40s here, all day. A little below our "norm". Hoping this isn't a prelude to colder than norm winter! Sure don't need or want that.
So, I'm going to head out to work soon....windy out & can't do much. Might as well get some of these store resets done so I can stay home on a better day for me.
Earlier in week I had my truck windshield replaced. Now, I find the headlights come on automatically, at night, when I start the thing. They never did before. Thought I was imagining things but, nope, it's happening. Internet says the sensor is under dash, near the windshield. ??? always was to be this way? Or? They do turn off after engine shuts down. But when on this way, the switch can't control them. Daytime, switch will work to turn off/on. Trying to get used to it and decide if it is something I need to address or not. It's kinda nice....I think. LOL

Weird - but I like the automatic feature on my truck. It used to bother me to walk away while the lights were on and I'd keep checking until they went off, lol. But, not having control at the switch is strange....
I 'opted out' of work today. Too many PTO days that I need to use up so today will be one of those. We're not as cold as many of you are, but it's coming. I'm close to needing to put out another round bale - always happens when it's the gross outside. Its windy today and we had nearly two inches of rain yesterday. I think I'll wait until Sunday - we're supposed to have sunshine for a couple of days after today. Despite the coolness this morning it wasn't too bad in the hot tub with coffee this morning.
I could get used to starting my days that way....at least when the weather is cooperative.

Put some bourbon in that coffee and you won’t care what the weather is!

I like the way you think, lol! Except - if I have a drop of alcohol before evening I won't get a darn thing done all day. But, on second thought, there's some days that sounds pretty good!!

We don't normally "celebrate" holidays and if there is a meal that is prepared with others, "tradition" isn't usually included....for the past 20yrs the only turkey that was fixed was from Mom.....we've always had BBQ'd pork ribs or baked ham.....however, we have been invited to a dinner this year for turkey by @B&B Happy goats and I have to bring my BBQ sauce with us....haven't heard the "when" as of yet, but we do look forward to getting together again with Barb&Leon.....
.....it will be a good time for sure.
I remeber saying a while back that it would take a "polar express" to come thru to bring in Fall here, but didn't want most of ya to endure the severity of the cold, just so we could get some cooler temps......but, it seems that it is on the way and I sure can't stop it.....so, might as well embrace it.....it should arrive tues/wed and will drop our temps to the mid to high 70s and lows in the 50s....my brother, just north of Memphis told me they are expecting some really low temps during that time....highs in low 20s and lows in the 10° range....I told him I was glad to be a little further south.....
....I really do hate it for those affected, because I would not enjoy tending to animals in those temps....I'd rather hibernate by a Fire....

Coffee is on.
Warmer today, currently 29, high is 45.put in the tank heaters yesterday. Had ice all day.... so not ready for this. Tuesday may be record lows... of course the last bred doe is due Monday. Always something.
DH has to work and is planning on cutting wood. Kid's and I are going to attack the kitchen and bathrooms. At some point need to get to the farm, see what Mom's been up to over there. Hopefully she's taking stuff out.

Thanks for the coffee, going for my second cup. Supposed to hit a low of 28 and rain on Monday. Taking 6 lambs to slaughter on Tuesday, think we’ll load them tomorrow and give them plenty of hay and water. They’ll make a mess in the trailer, but we won’t have to be out in the cold rain getting them loaded. We always load the evening before and leave first thing the next morning.
Fred, going to Barbs for Thanksgiving will be a nice day. Good food, good company, good time.

You can do that up here in Vermont! Fire in the wood stove for days now, the living room is the cats' favorite place.I'd rather hibernate by a Fire....
I'm sure you and your hosts will have a good time. In this case I think T-Day is more of a convenient "excuse" than a tradition though I suppose it could be the first of some years that the 4 of you get together at the end of Nov.
