Coffee is perking, not many emails in the queue, going to be a good day. Almost the weekend.

I've gone from 48-60+ oz per day down to 10 oz. Been a process. As I've aged, it started impacting me more, disrupting sleep especially.

I'z up.

Temp is -5F, wind chill is mild at -12F, wind is 11 mph.

That wind yesterday could cut you in half.

My coffee intake is zero. I gave up coffee decades ago.

Hey now... Coffee is not a crime.

It's now officially winter here. The Mon river is frozen over. On the way to work. Looking at the river. It's got ice all over it. Don't know how thick it is. Back in '78. It was thick enough that a bunch of us walked across it.

I got a shop radio that runs on AC or rechargeable batteries, a 2 way laser level (vertical & horizontal), and a couple of other items that still work pretty good.... all for zip....

I don’t have to many more items on the punch list/ just been grabbing up a few specials lately

I'm about done paying off my new box. I really should add a side cab or an upper box, but 2 challenges, 1) I'd have to move shelves in the garage for the upper box and most importantly 2) I'd rather spend the $10k on TT's for the Z.

One of the reasons I don't have him stop here every week, I'd have my bill up around 5K again. I'm paying mine off with my refund.... I hope...

My niece's 3rd hubby used to workef at a land fill. He would bring all kinds of chit home.

Brand new 80 gal air compressors from Lowe's. 2 of them. Nothing wrong with them.

He kept one, and my brother got one. He even got welders.

It's unreal on what gets thrown away.
