    Good morning Dale and Paul :wub:

    Brr!! We will be in the 20s all this coming week. You already know I'm jealous of your 60s, Dale ;) These are the days I wish I were retired so I could hibernate until Spring :lol:

    Hiya, Paul!! It was so nice to see you. Hope your holidays were nice and that things are well with you too!

    Met my family for breakfast and ran a few errands. I have a roast in the crockpot for dinner. Hope you are all having a great day!

    Good afternoon Paul and Sara :wub:

    Really good to see you Paul! Hope you had a wonderful holiday too. :)

    I’m not sure we’re going to make it to 60 today Sara, it’s still pretty chilly. The rain has finished as predicted and we expect windy weather starting around 2 p.m. then the big drop. Morning temperatures are expected to be down to 22 … that’s Arkansas for you!

    Good morning, Lurkers! The promised cold front arrived in good fashion. Down to 30º and will drop another degree or two by sunrise. And windy out. Going to be cold all week. Staying in today. It is cold in the house, too. The remodel on my house is getting close, but still need insulation and drywall, and the whole thing is on the north side, of course.

    Hope you can stay warm enough today! Going to be cold all week here too and there’s no heat at the shop!

    Good evening lurkers :wub:

    Sounds like a plan for you both...stay inside. That's great news on the remodel, Paul. It was 17 here this afternoon, not sure exactly what it was when I left for work. Snowing on the drive home and starting to coat the roadways.

    Dale, when do you work this week? Stay warm!

    Have a great evening all!

    Good evening Sara :wub: You have my sympathy for having to go out today :(

    I’m supposed to work tomorrow and Thursday, we’ve stopped working on Saturday already.

    Has anyone missed me?

    I've miss y'all.

    It just seems like it has been one thing after another. Pretty easy for me to catch you up. I had a nice holiday but ate too much. There's my New Year's resolution. (nothing special there because that is mine every year)

    Finally found someone that would come and look at my old washer. It was rather sad when they said the part that needed replace was $800. Of course, the saddest part was paying $95 for 15 minutes work. Oh well, it is what it is. He suggested a Steam Queen washer. I had never heard of them but found out they are rather pricey. I am still doing research and washing at Perry's which is not bad at all.

    New Year's was great because we went to the Moose and had filet mignon. It was awesome. You can tell you are getting old when you go out for New Year's and you are already home by 8:30.

    Also when to the doctor and I have my knee repaired on the 28th. I am glad that they diagnosed the same thing I decided. I was hoping my meniscus would heal on its own but nope, mine is in two pieces. He said what he did would not help the arthritis I have in that knee and that I would need replacement at some point. I told him that point would be when I could not make it to the bathroom. Whatever it takes, I have got to get back to going to the gym and walking. I feel like that is some of my weight gain. I know it is part of my moods.

    Perry had a terrible bout with gout. (heehee, I am a poet) He went to the doctor but the pain in his foot made him jump every 22 seconds for almost two days. I knew it was getting better because he was not hollering out as loud or jumping as high. Bless his heart and anyone who suffers with that condition. Since he just had a bout a little while ago, he has an appointment with a specialist. Maybe they will change his meds or something. Fingers crossed.

    I also started the year off with someone trying to use my Discover card. Had to get a new card. Grrrr That seems to be happening more nowadays. It is no big issue. Just an inconvenience.

    Well, as you can tell, my New Year started off not as I had expected but. . . it can only go up from here.

    bahahahaha

    I am so glad everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's. Now, I just hope everyone is staying cozy and warm.

    Good morning Rat2 :wub: and lurkers :)
    Sorry your new year has started out roughly, hopefully it will smooth out and get better. Prayers for you and Perry that your health issues will be dealt with satisfactorily.

    A cold 22 here, today’s high is 38. Burr! Gonna have to layer up for work.

    Good evening :)

    Omgoodness is it cold. But it beats shoveling snow, so I'm good there. Flurries and a dusting the last two mornings. Thank goodness you only have a couple days, this week, Dale.

    Rat2, I've heard good things about speed queens. But I agree they are pricey. I hope you and Perry are feeling good as new soon.

    Stay warm and enjoy the rest of your evening.

    Good evening Sara :wub:

    It’s pretty cold down here too , I think the high was 33 briefly. DIL found another job so I’m working Thursday and Friday this week weather permitting. They’re saying we’re going to get between 4 to 7 inches of snow starting Thursday afternoon through Friday, not much to you guys I’m sure but a problem for us. If we do get a significant amount of snow Randy may have to come get me :lol: Wouldn’t be the first time ;)

    Down in the teens this morning and calling for snow tomorrow. It has been so long since we have seen any.

    I am ready for it though. Bought a inverter generator yesterday. This o'l girl is not going to lose all that meat Perry put in my freezer.

    Good afternoon everyone.

    We finished up today at 12:30 which was a good thing as it also started sleeting then, sleeted enough to turn everything white then the snow started. Have already gotten a couple of inches and it’s supposed to continue through Friday. Work has been canceled for tomorrow so it’ll be a long weekend inside.
