Wednesday afternoon update:
Got a low battery warning for Jason's car this morning, so I drove his car to my endocrinologist appointment. On the way home I stopped at AutoZone and bought a new battery for his car. It turned out his old 2 year guaranteed battery was about 4 years old, so I guess we got our money's worth out of it. I didn't check the date sticker on my old battery when I had it replaced on Monday, but I'm pretty sure we got our money's worth out of that one too.
Now I feel OK about the Arctic weekend we are facing.
I did get the fire going shortly after my earlier post, and we're letting it burn all day today because it is so cold.
Oh, the endocrinologist was very happy with the numbers from my lab draw last week. And so am I!

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have -7 (Celsius) clear degrees with an expected mostly sunny high od 9 and 1% chance of precipitation.
I woke up really dry this morning, but a glass of electrolyte replacing fluid helped with that. It's been a dry cold spell, aside from the initial bit of rain right at the beginning.
I picked up burgers last night, from the Burger Fi that's about half a mile away. It was a nice dinner.
Breakfast this morning: biscuits and gravy with sausage. Great food for cold weather.
As it's supposed to be a bit warmer today, I don't think I'll have the fire going all day like yesterday. Maybe this evening for a bit, after sunset.
Now that we've gotten past the trade show, we don't have to concentrate on the self checkout module so much, and can got back to some other hot projects that had been temporarily back burnered. Should be fun!

good morning
Lots of ice here too, Irene. Not great days for walking!
Ed, good that you got a new battery for Jason too. I got nice new tires this year, so feel safer on the roads. Glad your endocrinology appt went well and your numbers are good. We have a gas fireplace so basically flipping a switch. It usually takes several flips the first time we fire it up for the season.😂 I kind of miss the wood fireplace, but this is less messy. Have fun with your other projects.
Hi Jo, I guess things are frozen there too.
It's currently 21F, -6C. Forecast for partly cloudy (actually completely cloudy!) this morning, then becoming cloudy during the afternoon. High near 35F, 2C. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph. Snow showers are expected overnight and into tomorrow, with some more accumulations tomorrow.
It is a bit warmer today (at least it may make it over freezing!).
All is well. Will see what the day brings.
Wishing all a fine Thursday. Stay warm and safe. ☕☃️🥾🧤🍷0 -
Good afternoon
The temp is currently 26F. We have ice at the bottom of the driveway, but the rest of the driveway is clear.
Ed-nice that your numbers are good. After I got a new battery for my old car, I was told to drive the car at least
100 miles to reset all of the emissions in the car's computer. In MA we have to have our cars inspected every year, mine failed
after getting a new battery. The mechanic told me to drive 100 miles and then come back and he would inspect it again.This
time I passed the emissions test.
Irene-I don't blame you for not walking very far when it is icy.
Vix-What a fun way to spend your afternoon, with the grandchildren. I think we are expected to get snow also on Friday.
Have a good afternoon and stay warm.

Our emissions tests work the same way. I guess maybe that's universal with modern cars. Since we aren't due for our testing until September, for either vehicle, we shouldn't have any problem this time. I do remember having to get out on the interstate with both cars one year, and just driving out for 50 miles and then driving back to get everything properly reset.

Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday!
We have 4 (Celsius) cloudy degrees (feels like 0) with an expected mostly sunny, windy high of 6 that I think we may have already passed, earlier this morning. The hourly forecast doesn't show it getting higher than 4 degrees Celsius for the rest of the day and dropping a bit before it gets there. Then dropping to horribly cold overnight again. We have a wind chill advisory in effect.
Not sure what will be considered the hottest project for me to look at today. I know what's hot for the programmers, but have doubts they'll have anything ready to test on that project. But I have plenty to work on.
I have the fire going. All that takes for us is to open the flue, turn a valve, and light the fire with a barbecue lighter or fireplace match.
Dinah is in my lap helping to keep me (and her) warm.

Good morning,
Just got back from a walk around the block it is snowing really heavy so I will get the rest of my walk on the treadmill
stay safe everyone0 -
hi,
My post from this morning seems to have disappeared. So here we go again.
Jo, it seems there's always ice at the bottom of the driveway after clearing it! Good info about the battery and emissions test. I didn't know that.
Ed, enjoy your projects. Our emissions test are every 2 years. I thought it had been a while, so looked it up.
Irene, it really is awfully cold outside for a walk. Treadmill works.
Looking ahead, this freezing weather should be leaving about Tuesday.
I put our fireplace on the last 2 days for a while in the afternoon when I was reading. Very cozy.
It snowed overnight and is continuing.
It's currently 26F, -3C (that was this morning, now 29F, -2C). Snow will transition to snow showers later this afternoon. High 29F,-2C. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 90%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches (looks like it's already done that and it's still snowing).
Wishing all an easy Friday. Be safe out there. Stay warm. ☕☃️🥾🧤🍷0 -
Good morning,
It snowed all day yesterday so we have lots of snow. Today its only 15 it looks like it is going to be a really cold day.
Stay safe everyone
Vix enjoy your fire place I haven't had mine on yet this year I need to be careful because of my asthma
hi Ed and Jo0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have -8 (Celsius) sunny degrees (feels like -16) with an expected sunny high of -1 (maybe 0 if we're lucky) and 0% chance of precipitation. I'll probably get out for groceries this afternoon.
The fire is already going. I lit that as soon as I got up.

It snowed all day here too, Irene! Wow, like a real winter! Pete took the snow blower out again.
Hi Jo and Ed.
It's currently 17F,-8C, a bit of wind, some sunshine (yay!). A mix of clouds and sun. High 23F, -5C. Winds WNW at 15 to 25 mph. Higher wind gusts possible.
Wishing all a happy weekend! Stay safe and warm. ☕🌞⛄🧤0 -
Good morning
We only got a dusting of snow. Temp is currently12F with a high of 26. It is supposed to be sunny but cold with the wind chill.
I have no plans today.
Have a great day and stay warm and safe. 0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!
We have -8 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 4 and 0% chance of precipitation.
I got most of the groceries yesterday. I may get out today for the rest, but there is nothng critical left on the list.
The fireplace is going again this morning.

We have 15 here it is a little windy we did go a little today I will have to get the rest of my steps on the treadmill
have a great day everyone0 -
Hi,
Jo, a dusting of snow is nice, no shoveling!
Ed, it doesn't usually get that cold where you are, does it? Good that you don't have to go out if you don't want to.
Irene, if it's slippery/windy, better to walk on the treadmill. I do enjoy being out for a few minutes though.
We visited with Will and Lilly this a.m. It's chilly but sunny here. The wind blew the snow around yesterday, so there's a bit on the sidewalks and driveways, but it's supposed to warm up tomorrow and through the week, so it'll melt off.
It's currently 27F, -3C. Sunny. High 31F, -1C. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph.
Wishing all a relaxing Sunday. ☕🌞⛄🧤🍷0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday!
We have -4 (Celsius) clear degrees (feels like -7) with an expected partly cloudy high of 9 and 1% chance of precipitation.
It was a cold weekend. I got out both days and walked in grocery stores so at least got that exercise. LOL.
This morning, the fireplace is going. I may turn it off for the afternoon, but suspect Jason will want it left on into the evening, until bedtime.

good morning
It's currently 17F,-8C, perfectly clear blue skies and sunshine. I stepped outside for a minute, it was refreshing! Forecast for sunny to partly cloudy. High 37F,3C. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph. Looks like highs in the 40s and 50s for the next 10 days, so it's warming up.
I have to catch up on some things around the house today, but I think I would like to get out for a while and enjoy the sunshine.
Wishing all a bright shiny new week. 🌞🌟☕🧤0 -
Good morning;
Currently 29F and sunny. Tues. and Wed. looks like snow, sleet and rain are coming our way. Yuck!
Today I went for by BP check up. The Dr. switched my medication to one with a diuretic in it. She said this would help
flush out the calcium, and help to prevent more stones forming.
I have a follow up in 4 weeks to evaluate how I tolerating the meds and get blood work done.
I am almost to the bottom of my paper shredding pile. I have filled up 8 med. size trash bags. I think going forward I
will do an annual shredding and not wait 10 years.
Have a great week!

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
We have 6 (Celsius) cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 8 and 91% chance of precipitation. Rain may end around noon, assuming we actually get any. There is "rain in the vicinity" now, according to the weather page.
We got a new payment terminal delivered yesterday, for the small checkout kiosk on the other desk in my office. I think part of today will be at least initial setup and testing on that, and then I can use this kiosk to test full order checkout.
My joints believe there is rain coming.

good morning
Jo, I hope your new meds work for you. It's good that they're following up. It's warming up here, so ours looks like rain Wed. and Thurs. We usually do the paper shredding every couple of years. Our shredder is small and heats up too, so it's slow going.
Hi Irene.
Ed, payment terminal sounds interesting. Have fun with that.
I cut a couple of my fingers last night while cutting frozen ginger. I was using a new knife and wasn't used to it and it slipped. I'm going to put NewSkin on it for craft day, but one of them needed a new bandage after I accidentally bumped it this morning, so I'll have to wait on that. Hard to type with a bandage on my finger!
Anyhow, it's currently 29F, -2C. Cloudy. High 46F, 8C. Winds light and variable. Warming up, more ice and snow will melt.
Wishing all a fun Tuesday. ☕☁️⛄🥾🧤0 -
Good morning,
well it is 30 degrees still chilly but is suppose to get up to 40 today that will be nice.
I have a hair appt this afternoon .
Vix hope your finger is ok.
Hi Ed and Jo0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have 9 (Celsius) foggy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 14 and 86% chance of precipitation.
Not sure what will be hot on the work burner today.

Thanks, Irene. I wrapped a bandage on it yesterday, and switched to a bandaid during the day, but it was fine to put the NewSkin on today. So much easier to do things with free fingers! Enjoy your hair appointment!
Ed, I hope work brings you something interesting today.
Hi Jo!
Saw the little ones again last evening. They really are a joy.💗
Warming up here! Snow and ice are melting. It's currently 36F, 2C.Considerable cloudiness. Occasional rain showers this afternoon. High near 50F, 10C. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.
Wishing all a happy 🐫day!0 -
Good afternoon;
Currently 37F. We had snow overnight. Today it has been raining lightly, so all the roads are clear.
We have a homeless man that hangs around work. He kept all his possessions in a shopping cart. Someone stole his cart
last week and now all he has are the clothes on his back. I gave him one of my husbands winter jackets, a pair of gloves
and some heavy socks. He was so happy to get them.
Have a good evening.

hi everyone.
great day today our weather here was in the 40s
Jo that was a great thing to do i am sure he was happy to get the stuff0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have 16 (Celsius) rainy degrees with an expected rainy high of 21 and 99% chance of precipitation.
My joints are feeling it too.
Most of the programmers are out today for one thing or another. They'll be back Monday, including the one with the new baby. I'm sure there will be plenty of leftover stuff to test though.

Good Thursday morning,
Well the weather is 55 but raining so no walk outside I will be spending more time on the treadmill .have a great day stay dry
Ed hope your day improves it is hard to work when your body hurts,
Hi Jo and Vix0 -
good morning
Jo, that was so kind and thoughtful of you to help the homeless man. I'm sure he truly appreciated it. Warms my heart.
Irene, warm here today, lots of fog yesterday from the warm air moving in. Enjoy your treadmill time.
Ed, I hear you about the joints! Have you tried a heating pad? Good that you can keep busy.
It's currently 53F, 12C. Rain showers early will evolve into a more steady rain for the afternoon. Areas of dense fog. High around 55F,13C. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 90%. Not like winter at all.
Nothing on the agenda for today, but I'm trying to keep a running list of things I need to do, so I can get some things done! Yesterday I foiled some of my stained glass pieces so they're ready for soldering.
Wishing all a pleasant Thursday. ☕🌫️☁️☔ bye-bye ⛄

Good evening;
Currently 44F. We had slight drizzle most of the day and the snow is gone.
My sinuses have been bothering me, so I didn't do much of anything today.
Vix-what are you making in stained glass?
Hi Irene and Ed.
Enjoy your evening.
