I hardly ever get to start the daily!
We are having snow showers here in east central Alabama at this very moment. None of it is sticking; the ground is too warm and the air temperature is above freezing. It is pretty,though.

Good morning
Plumbers coming by Monday to give a estimate on the repairs. This is far from over as they will have to tear up part of the basement floor to fix the problem.
Off to breakfast.

Ugh! Good luck, Marty. I hope the easiest fix works.
It’s cold but not much we can do about that. Enjoy the day.

A priest, a rabbi, a monk and a Sony Surround System walk into a bar.
Bartender looks at the Sony and says, "Hey, sonny, we don't serve stereo types in here."

Watching the weather in western NC as the households of Elderdottir and Yungerdottir face the prospect of a foot or more of snow today, as well as high winds, all preceded by freezing rain. They hoped to get together this afternoon at Yungerdottir's place to celebrate Senior Grand-nugget's birthday, but I expect they will use an abundance of caution. They live only 7 miles apart, though, and both houses have backup generators, thank goodness.

Gorgeous sunny morning here with the new snow. Higher temps with 20’s predicted.
The winter outdoor fun folks will be out in droves. Both the granola silent sport types and internal combustion thrill seekers.

Well, it’s Sunday. Although we were planning to head south this week the Rona has us reassessing that. I think we will wait a couple three or so weeks anspd see if the hospital overcrowding abates a bit,
So… chilly and foggy here. And that’s it.
Good luck to Marty and his plumbing issue.
Mike

Good morning I watched a good movie - Ricardos. But I don’t think it wasn’t a Oscar (Nicole Kidman’s Lucy Ball). It shouldn’t be Sofia Vergara. It was a great story about the 50s New York CBS executives. It wasn’t that great. Desi’s was great - Javier B.
It’s another Sunday football -
And it’s still music day.
Enjoy yourself and the Sunday day.

Back from breakfast, no shopping today so I will head down to my shop for a while. Working on another prototype of this neck rest. You can buy these on the internet under several brand names but they are made from cork and so light they are all but useless because they won't stay put when used. Mine will be made of wood, this one is black walnut and rather heavy. I'm also using router pad as a non-skid surface. If I can get a way to make them as a production run, like my winders and humidifiers, I may offer them in exotic and common woods.

I improvised a neck rest with a walking sock full of barley a while ago. Not as good but doubles up as a lower back pain soother if you warm it in the microwave.

I went with Rob Hanesworth’s suggestion from last year. Both are working quite well..

Hello, gents, from Odessa TX. Flights were fine. And as a surprising off-shoot, Sue got results from her PCR test taken the same day as her positive rapid test, and the PCR was Newgate. - Craziness. So all this may have been frought for nought.
**sigh**
Feeling good. I was negative yesterday.

Glad to hear that all went well.

Just spoke with Elderdottir, who reports that their town of Etowah, NC, has gotten about 18 inches of snow, but that snowfall appears to be tapering off. They still have power, and none of the high winds that were forecast have materialized, at least where they are. It did mean canceling a trip down to Yungerdottir's house for birthday and snow frivolity, but safety matters.

In Odessa, I recommend the highway that takes you out of town.
