We have one more week then temp goes down, 29 this morning, but up to 40 today. Still not bad to be outside, sure glad your are doing some building, not much else going on on the forum. Maybe in another week or so a different outlook will take ahold and a change will take ahold............Curt

Hi guys time flies and it's been a minute.
We've had some great weather and I've ridden a lot and worked on a lot of home projects. I mentioned one in a post somewhere, tankless water heater, that proved a nice task. I'm not a good hand at plumbing, but I muddled on with some care and the aid of YouTube advice and the results were huge savings and a nice supply of hot water delivered to the entire house. That success led me to other repair/home improvement and several weeks later I'm still at it.
Snow day tomorrow, no big deal, and then fair sailing for the foreseeable foecasts?
Hope to get back at bike projects soon.

LOL carry on, sometimes you just got to give up the toys and get-er-done......LOL Curt
Yeah Rick, The old eBay video 'Consultancy' is a useful resource for saving folks money and proving what's possible without resorting to getting a man in. Saved myself a bunch on projects as diverse as washing machines and car repairs.
Didn't realize I'd missed so much of this thread due to not receiving post notifications. All caught up now.
Curtis I tend to get really focused on work activities and don't share well between hobby and work. I let things go in extremes and I don't feature this a good thing. It's compulsive, but I deal with it best I can lol.
Rick C.
LOL, I think a lot of us are in the same boat that way, I know I am…….Curt
Hey Rick, You got your share of ice there? Seen some scary ice storm videos of OK/TX roads that popped-up on my Facebook feed over the weekend.
Hi Pete, ice all around us but only had a light glaze one morning here. I read in the Sun that you guys were expecting some nasty weather as well?
So far this Winter has spared us in my area of Indian Territory.

Ah well, Rick, if you read it in the Sun it must be true...! 
Seriously though, I've been seeing online predictions of 'Beast from the East' severe snow hitting us from the North West for about a month now. Yet to see any evidence. The BBC weatherman online today was saying we might see heavy snow nearer the end of Feb or perhaps into early March. Ha! Would anyone believe ANY forecast that looked that far ahead ?

Would anyone believe ANY forecast that looked that far ahead ?Pete our Sun equivalent is the New York Post and I read both for comic relief. Tragedy and the lurid played up to the max. One current headline 'Brazilian doctor leaves scissors inside a patient during surgery" so weather forecasts that far out seem worth an award of some sort even if wrong. It might or could have been spot on if.....
For me they are worth a read, but I suspend any belief.

Once again Mpls. is getting it, we have a little rain now and a little snow to come, but not much. Everything this winter has come up close to us and even hit us some, but all goes east and up towards the arrowhead, or more east., Just last week we had -20, now +35, I no complain, as quit milled compared to years ago............Curt
Glad you missed the brunt of it Curt and glad I don't live in New Hampshire.

Rick C.
Yes! I am too, but so crazy what is going on, big quake over seas......Curt
Bro in law Mark called yesterday. He was inquiring about my FB post of the aftermath of a 2Kg block of wood striking my metatarsal edge on. The photo was cause for his concern. Hed did say Mpls. was in a warm streak.

Hi Tom, we thankfully were not a part of that storm. The previous storm, about a week earlier, was a near miss but still a miss....actually the weather has been nice, but these brief, violent events are life changers that pop down and are over in minutes at specific points, but long track often for hundreds of miles. Some are localized and don't hold together. All are potentially deadly.
Thanks for thinking of us.
Are you having smoke related issues from the Canada fires?

Some days are worse than others Rick. Cannot remember the last blue sky. I did a google search for wild fire map, Alberta can't take credit for all of it. There is even one WNW of me around Black River Falls, WI.
