32 and sunny, saw my first sign of an early frost heave season

For those in more temperate regions some roads are closed to heavy traffic to allow roads to solidify from heat of day and cold of nights.

And on that note need to prepare to make calls.

Hi, Everyone.

46 and sunny here right now.

I've got the pool cover almost dry, but that will only last until the next rain. I have to keep on top of it since I'm still waiting for what comes next in this pool demolishing project. The fence company emailed me an estimate and I guess the next thing after the fences are taken down will be the pool guy scheduling the draining of the pool, or they can probably drain it before the fences come down... Not sure.

Enjoy the day! N.

35* and sunny.

@catwoman500

The order of fence removal depends upon your liability insurance or the demolishing crews.

I gave up trying to figure out insurance companies, after my camp days.

Needed to cover old tar paper, which meant siding BEFORE buying camp, in order to get insurance and liability on a camp in midst of nowhere but, on a lake.

Only thing I learned from that experience was never buy a camp in winter. Residing at -30* is no fun, when it’s snowing.

Signed and bought camp mid-blizzard, after siding was completed, on the rear of building, and shed roof was put over propane tanks.

Good morning to everyone on the Front Porch this Wednesday morning! We continue to have temps in the lower 50's and no rainfall. The snow on the South side of the house is gone. But there is a fair aamount on the North side. The iris are coming up and other things should be coming up.

41* and sunny, the driveway plowed is appearing, the ice is melting. And that is the only dirt to be found or seen.But the snowbanks on Street are slowly diminishing barely 7’ tall.

The mountains where I live are to get snow/rain/? In the next couple of days.

Need to start moving soon.

Hello, Our Front Porchers!!!

Well folks, I can finally stop counting the days....cuz S-P-R-I-N-G is now officially here! And I for one am so very happy! Even though it has been raining here off and on all day today, I know that better weather is a-comin' soon. I can even spy some buds on the trees and so I'm celebrating already and grinning from ear to ear like a Cheshire cat! Image result for image of cheshire cat grinning

So I guess the next thing for me is the beginning of the formidible Spring cleaning fest. And believe me, I already have a ton of projects lined up to tackle. There's the garage that needs to be cleaned out and the basement needs much the same. And then there is that big old tree out front that has to be cut down because it's roots are raising the sidewalk. Yep, I'll be busy til summer and beyond! But I'll be smilin' and whistlin' and just happy cuz it's Spring and everything starts anew...even maybe me and maybe even you! Enjoy!

Frozenoem,

I have a dog coat that came from Finland. I will try to post a picture of the coat. I will give you the details. Anyway, came from the State Troopers, I just don't know if Chelli is going to like it.

But, they guarantee she will be warm. If you don't want the coat, maybe somone else would. Nancy

Afternoon 35* and white particulates (snow) is falling from the sky, awoke to the sound of around 8” coming off the roof. To most that reminds them of slate roofs for similar sound, all at once a big woosh.

Ah the joy of living in the land of ski resorts.

There was a dog food recall expansion last night, .canned only not dry foods. Lot numbers at the link and expiration date.

GREETINGS,

The local News reports that the northern lights will be visible tonight. This is do to a solar flare. Not sure if I am going to be able to see any of this splendor.

41* windy. Just picking up donations for Share tomorrow. My daughter is back from New Orleans. I am happy about that.

Great picturs Dave, you have a beautiful family.

Frozenoem, hope all is well.

Everyone enjoy your day.

@n566192l , I did hear that about the Northern Lights being more visable to the south, but we won't be able to see it here...they mentioned New York as being a possible state for viewing. I hope someone is able to catch it.

@Frozenoem , maybe you can see it? Not sure.

Well, it's nice to see the sun back after about 36 hours of rain here. It's not warm by any means, but at least cheery! 38, feeling like 31 now...not exactly normal for this time of the year.

Last night was our Chinese dinner night and it was nice the rain had stopped for a bit. When we came out we saw it had rained while we were eating.

This morning my pool guy stopped by with some details about the project. He said this is a sad day. Glad to see the project moving along, but I'm sure it will be weird without the pool in the yard.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone! N.

Hi, 32* it’s a heat wave to me, windy as a bugger dancing 80’ pines and maples blowing in the wind.

Dont know about the Northern Lights, guess I should charge a phone/camera just in case. It should be dark enough to see with naked eye, if in a non-light pollution area.

It was for my previous viewings but, that was during my 35mm and 120/220 days, translation haven’t seen negatives or prints lately.

Now, it’s off to the garage, need to write down some old test gear model #’s for sale. And maybe sell a 1937 console. Tired of 👀ing at old stereos, mono’s, radios, etc.
