Good morning Y'All, and indeed a HAPPY TUESDAY wished upon All!

Up a wee early, 5a, but the dogs seemed pretty vehement about it.
Coffee is going, and I believe we have breakfast out there this morning. Dropping Hack off at the contractors at 9a, and then some store hoping for the Mrs. and I......sounds like food to me. (y)

Is and will be in the low to mid 40's today and sunny. Last night's rain storm wasn't all that.....wet, but not monsoonal or violent.

Hope peace and grooviness rule,
Hack

Very nice Vinnie! I've always liked the looks of a 'looking towards the surface' shot through crystal clear water.

Mornin Hack & all who follow. We ended up getting 4" of snow last night before the storm was even supposed to start then nothing. It is above freezing today and tomorrow so it is on the way to melting again.

The first of the contractors are starting to show up so I am going to go do some adulting for a while. Talk to you later.

Top of the morning Rick!

Morning youz guys, and those that will check in today .
Coffee and b-fast sammich to offer the TRT Training Table👍🏼.
Put “shop efforts “ on the top of today’s work list, it’s due for my attention .

Home Depot is fota be getting in the pedestal for the new washer today, instead of running up there when bunches of humans are there in prime time, will likely go tomorrow morning when they open to get it and other “needed” things in my cart. Though I bought scratch/dent pedestals for the washer /dryer at the bargain center place , the washer is mo’ bigger than the pedestal the sales lady measured and said I needed. The one thing that is keeping me chilled out over spending ( 1/3 of new/retail) $ on the too small one , is that I’m still $1500 or so ahead ( even after having to retail spend for the right one ) on the washer/dryer w/ a scratch n dent , from the bargain /surplus /“railroad salvage “( if that is still a thing)place, with having to spend $250’ish on a drawer’d pedestal that the drawer will never get used and only purpose is to raise the washer higher up 🤷🏻‍♂️😡🤨.

Last slug o coffee down the gullet, time to get this day started 👍🏼

Hope everyone has a great day !

Good morning everyone,
Jeff, I don’t know why they don’t include the pedestal with the washer and dryer. We had the frontload machines until the flood. And when we had to replace everything after the flood, we went back to the regular top load washer and dryer.
Hack I finally got my YouTube fixed so I can upload my videos to YouTube then share. The only thing wrong with the side view is it only features a few of my fish that I have.

Good mawnin’, Hack, Rick, Vinnie, and all of TRT!

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast sandwiches, Jeff. I love homemade egg McMuffins sans meat. I will add a variety of pick up fruit,… nanners, halo tangerines, apples… and since Rick have to do Adulting today, I got extra large muffins for him, but he has to share. We got a lot of people with a sweet tooth around here.

Hack - Have fun shopping with Jen today! What are you gonna get the rest of us?

Rick, good luck with the contractors today. I hope they can do their job and not be in the way of you doing your job. Maybe that’s what you call Adulting.

Jeff, I don’t understand that need for the pedestals, except to make you spend more money. The last time I bought washer, I think it was a GE, I realized I needed shock absorbers. That was an inexpensive addition and the contractor that was doing some improvement on my house added them and it made made a big difference.

Vinnie, thanks for the video of your tank. That’s fun to watch.

Last night, Bobbi, Hal, and I went to a fancy-schmancy concert at a local university. We heard a vocal group called Chanticleer, and they were fantastic! Bobbi and I enjoy getting all dressed up every so often, Hal not so much. Sime men even more tuxes, which I think was over the top. Hal wore black slacks, a black shirt and a black sport jacket and he was fine.

tomorrow morning I will be having an endoscopy procedure. The thing about this procedure is I don’t have to go through the dreaded prep that you do before you have a colonoscopy. I’ve been having some discomfort around my middle, so that’s why I’m having this test done. Send prayers and good thoughts and vibes for me tomorrow.

Currently 61° and sunny and climbing up to 78° and it’s February. The flowering trees are all mixed up, and we haven’t even had enough coal to kill off bugs.

Lots of love and hugs and peace to everyone.

Prayers, 'good vibes', and groovy thoughts to you Cath for tomorrow......EZPZ all the way around tomorrow for Ya. (y)

Spent a day spending money and eating food.....well actually what else would you eat? :unsure:
Got time out in the gun shop as well......got a rack full yet I'd like to get finished off before the fun n games start at the creek next week.

Got a coin toss com'n up shortly between a movie or game night......leaning towards the movie option as I could use the nap.😁🍿

Thanks for sharing the snow scenes Doug.....probably as close as I'll get to seeing snow this year. 'They say' the East is in for a real bugger boo coming our way.....ain't sure our weather people are aware of this or not.....maybe NJ ain't East any more? This is the 2020's Ya know....:unsure::sneaky:

giggles to All,
Hack

Good evening, guys!

Hack - thanks for the well wishes for the endoscopy I have tomorrow morning. I’m supposed to be there at 8:30, but who knows what time they’ll actually take me to do the procedure. A neighbor will pick me up about 8:00, which is too early, but I’d rather be early than late.
Maybe the snow for NJ it’s gonna be near where George lives.

Doug, those snow pictures you posted are pretty, but I’m sure that’s not the way you think about it when you have to get to work. And how would a day like this go on ordering day if there’s snow? I know when LibraryLand it would not be a good day at all! In fact, it would be crazy!

Rick, how did your day of Adulting go with snow going on up there? I realize a snowfall is not a big deal like it is down here, but maybe it affects your work anyway.

hack’s, I hope you’ve decided on what movie to watch tonight, or not watch as your eyelids close.

Welp, I better get going with stuff to get ready for tomorrow.

Grooviness for all tonight!

We’re one day closer to Jeff getting his new GSD puppy, Nash….
