Hey gang,

Here we go with part 2 of the weather reports…..It is 22 out now, and the low will be 16 and expected to be cold for the next few days and nights….It will get down into the twenties for highs, and in the teens for lows…..Everyone stay warm and toasty as possible…..If you live in non cold country, stay cool as you can…..!!! And let us know what's happening in your neck of the woods as far as the weather goes…!!!

Rick, why doesn't a title show up? All it says is "Off-topic content. Click to see the post." That, my friend, is a highly unsatisfactory way to run a railroad. I, for one, hate those 'you have to click on this to see what you're clicking on' things.

Good Evening All,

Kind of late to the party tonight but looks like the old thread was still going so I posted there and came looking for the new one.

About 5 deg here now but got up yo 16 earlier. A couple inches of snow overnight but none todayt so far. Going to start later they say and not stop until Saturday night.

There used to be a setting that would enable/disable Coffee Lounge topic titles outside the Lounge. I disabled them because when I first came to LJ, the Lounge was mostly political threads. Not sure if you can still change it.

The setting can be found within "pulse".

Morning gang,

Well…..Here we are with a brand new weather thread, and nearly a brand new year in just a few days…I'll tell ya guys, I never expected the other thread to reach over 10,000+....You guys made it happen, though…W/o ya'll it couldn't of happened…Thanks for sticking with it….Now let's do it again..!!!!

It was 16 at coffee time, which was 7:15…..almost too cold to get out of bed…Skies were pretty well clabbered over, but giving way to some sun….The high will be 38 (?), but I'm skeptical on that temp….

Sunday and Monday is gonna be nasty, with some kind of moisture, and the lows will be in the single digits, with wind chills near 0-to -10 below. They have already posted a weather warning on the Weather Channel for it…

Glad I have plenty of firewood put up, just in case things go south…..

Welcome to the weather thread Rick M., and good to see ya made it back to visit us, Duckster….Haven't heard from you in a while….I know Rick is an old hand at LJs, and so are you, Duck….You guys are welcome anytime…!!! We keep getting new visitors pretty often, and some are staying for the big show…

Cricket…..You're a fair weather gal….I can tell when you come on our thread and talk about the weather where you live in Texas that you're cold natured….Thanks again for letting us continue with part 2…...!!

Good Morning All,

Well it is a cool -1 this morning and a couple inches new snow. Might warm up to +5 later and then -8 tonight. Sounds like the next few days are all going to be similar. Have about 10" now and should get another 10" before it quits Sunday night. Going to finish the year right I guess.

An uncommonly extraordinary, indescribably delightful, fabulously fine, monumentally magnificent morning to all,

79 delightful degrees under sunny skies here in San Diego today. I have it on good authority that the skies will be with us throughout the coming year (but they won't always be sunny).

Thanks, guys - and especially Cricket, who is certainly not a guy at all - for the info. The title of the new thread is now showing up as it should.

Everyone stay safe, dry, as warm or cool as you like, and have an uncommonly extraordinary, indescribably delightful, fabulously fine, monumentally magnificent day.

Howdy Folks, well we made the transition to part two, and I didn't even feel a thing … 62° here in the cactus patch and heading for 77° under clear blue skies and a gentle breeze … No snow in sight.

Firewood Mike: to make the degree sign; with the number lock on, holding the alt down enter 0176 … ° … cool huh?

Bbob: I think that cat would have lumps and bruises about the head and shoulder area … Now I'm not into being cruel to animals but what goes around … well you know. (Just kidding of course) We had a barn cat that thought it was fun to attack with all claws when you least expected it … I still have a tic.

Cricket: Thanks for helping Rick make Part #2 a reality, this is a good site.

Well count your fingers before and after the project, and if the number is the same, all is good … Be well my friends.

Hey guys,

Just finished with dinner, and wanted to give a quick update for this morning…Like I said in my post earlier, it was 16, so I decided to go in the shop and check the heat, since we supposedly have some nasty weather moving in this weekend….It was 53 in the shop, and not uncomfortable…just a little nippy…My shop is well insulated, but I turned on the central heat to warm the shop, and the boat side…..With 10 vents, it didn't take it long to start warming up, so I sat and drank a hot cup of joe…..then decided to cut up some scrap wood for kindling for fires….I have to tell you that I was a little nervous firing up the table saw, as I've not even been in my shop in over a year since my shop accident and surgery….Really thought my shoulder would go under, but not….it was my back that was killing me….My nervousness went away after running several boards…..Man, it felt good to be back in there, even for just a little while….I've missed it…..But I got a good box of kindling, the shop is warm, and now I'm ready to do more…..not today, though….Got to rest my body…..!!!

Good Morning Boys and Girls, It's just as cold, if not more, than it was the last time I post. The snow is squeaking and the roads are a mess here in Mid-Michigan. The temp is 9 and expected to reach 15.

Looks like we got our first Spammer already on this thread. I just don't understand why people go out of their way to make other people's lives miserable just for their fun.

Welcome to the new peeps. I hope you guys can stick around and enjoy the fun.

I like the "new" thread Rick. Looks like you painted the walls or something. It looks different or maybe it's just me. Anyway, I found my way here and here is where I'll stay. BTW, congrats on getting out to the shop Rick.

My tests went okay and I didn't die of a heart attack doing it, so all is well for now. Looks like I need to go out and do some PT though so I can get into better shape and live longer. Anyway, Happy New Year guys and stay safe.

Catch U Later.

Just when I start getting comfortable with things ya'll gotta go get all fancy and change things. What's an old fart like me gonna do? I missed out on the last few days. I need to back and update myself. I see a lot of new faces and some old ones. It's great to have you all here.

Today I'm going to try out that new spray rig I bought some months back. I'm going to start with just water on the garage door. Then I advance to shellac on a practice piece of wood before moving on to the cabinet parts. I think it's going to take a full day for masking off the insides of the cabinets. Like anything getting ready to do the work and cleaning up after seems to take most of the time.

Catch you all later.

Good Morning All,

Guess I missed the spam for breakfast again.

Only -9° and warming up to -4° later. Have about 10" of new snow and maybe get another couple inches today. Spent an hour yesterday with the plow cleaning sidewalks that the city covered up. First time in years they decided to plow residential streets and they went curb to curb. I hate sidewalks on the curb !!

Good to be in the shop again Rick. Even when we had been gone for a few months last summer working on fires it was an experience to get in the shop and fire up tools. Nice to get that back.

Making a handle for an antique cleaver for my nephew. Cleaning up the blade yesterday and found the markings on it. It is a Foster Brothers 13" model made in 7/15/24. This thing is a monster. The blade is 13" and the handle is about 20" long.

Morning gang,

It looks like Cricket took care of the spammer…..He posted right before Don, and I flagged him…Thanks, Cricket….!!! Keep them spammers out of here….You're doing a good job…!!

It wasn't as cold as it has been this morning at coffee time….It was 32, BUT, as the day goes along the temps will begin to fall…..drastically, from what I read…..The wind will pick up somewhat, and the wind chill factor will kick in…..Sunday, Monday, and into Tuesday looks nasty, with some low teens for highs, and single digits for lows…..It has begun: The temp now is 29, and the high will be 24, and start dropping…low will get to 14…..

The fireplace has been cooking some good wood, and will continue to so from here on out…..The 7 day forecast looks nasty, also….

Bill….Hope you're having a good time skiing up in cold country….That's way to cold for this fat man….It's cold enough down here in the mountains…..

Don…..Glad to hear the test went ok, and you passed with flying colors…..That would of prolly killed me…!!

Yea guys…..It looks like the new thread will be another good one…We'll just continue doing our thang, and having a good time….That's what it's all about…..!!!

It looks like BurlyBob and Mark were posting at the same time I was….I read ya'lls post…..

Dang Mark….I thought Bill was up in cold country…...I think you have that beat….Yep….a little shop time felt good….I think I'll try my hand at some more…if my back don't giver out first….Take several breaks and drink coffee….!!!
