HAPPY NEW YEARS to all.
Yep Happy New Year everyone.
Hello there.
HAPPY NEW YEARS
Woke this AM in a 55 degree house. Found the switch that supplies the furnace had gone bad. Lit the gas fireplace and went to Mass. It was 6 degrees with a stff breeze when we left. Got a new switch at Ace Hardware on the way home (quicker and warmer than rooting in the garage) It took the furnace and fireplace a couple hours to warm up the house .
Didn’t attempt to finish the coal. The colder it is the harder the asthma hits me. The high today was 12.
8N…I’m with you when it comes to copper pipe. Not sure of the condition of plastic in 20 years.
Our New Years celebration is over. Mrs has a cake in the oven. When it comes out we’ll be off to bed.
Prayers for those in need.
Man, that’s some “Breakfast Buffet!” Substitute ham for the grits, and a side order of toast for the biscuits and you’ve got a New Jersey diner “Super-Lumberjack” breakfast special!
And Happy New Year All!
Anyone up for a work party to go weatherstrip the border with Canada? It’s a helluva draft we’re getting down here! Brrrrrrrr…
Good evening all,
Happy New Year to all! Very cold in SE Indiana. Watched a recorded match from yesterday. 0-0 very exciting still. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Hey, that’s cheating starting it before midnight!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year all !!!
Happy New Year!
I am sorry for being MIA since Thanksgiving. Life has been hectic with work and family trips. Also, the AF has decided it is time for me to move already. After only 18 months in Germany, we will move to Quantico MCB in Northern Virginia. We will depart Germany on January 16th, so we have been and will continue to be extremely busy preparing to move. My posts will be sporadic during this time.
Regards,
Joe
Firelock, That is VERY COOL !![:)][Y]
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !!!
Happy New Year from sunny 4*F Southern Ohio!
Did someone leave a door open?
May God bless

Happy New Year from
frozen Buckeyeland!!
Morning. 18 degrees. Warmed from 13. High to be 29. Wifey going to mall. [%-)]
Joe, not but a few hours from me.
Ah, a good VA guy. We’ll add the ham and toast. [Y]
Guess Shake and Bake, Ray, Dennis and Dougsnotagrump are high this AM. Smoke those joints. [:O] I know the answer to that one.
All stay warm and safe.
PS: Buckeye should be warm with all the lumps of coal he got for Christmas.
Quantico MCB? That’s my old stompin’ ground, as in 40 years old. If you can tell us without having to kill us what’s the Air Force got planned for you in Marineland?
Anyway, I’m sure you’re going to like Northern Virginia, it’s a pretty fun place to be with lots of things to do and see, and train shows on a fairly regular basis! Traffic can be a bear though, but trust me, I’ve seen worse.
Best of luck in your new duty station!
PS to all, just checked the thermo-meter, 20 degrees, again very unusual for this area. Turned on the heat in the “Chugger Barn” about 45 minutes ago so maybe I can get an operating session in today.
Happy COLD New Year!!!
Yeah it is - 14 or - 16 outside alright!!! Depending what window thermometer you use. WOW I am with you Firelock, get the weatherstrip out!!!
Going to run the self clean cycle on the wife’s stove and try to stay warm.
Chief, it has been below freezing since 12-23 and they say it will be another week before we see anything close to 32. These long cold spells are very hard on things. Got to check the septic drain pipe to make sure it is not frozen shut. [:O]
Did that one time, made for a sh!t%y mess. [+o(]
Banks, get that heat cranking!
Best get started with the new year.
Happy New Years!!
Mmmm… Chief the breakfast sounds good! (Well, except for the grits.) I’m going to make something similar for the family shortly.
Firelock - Trust me, even us Canucks have had enough of this too! We were going blame it on the cold front coming down from Alaska though. Maybe we’ll start the weatherstripping there first. [:D]
Banks - Glad your furnace woes are okay. Mine seems to be holding on after my “fix”.
Joe - All of the best on your move back. I’m sure it’s bittersweet.
Well, off to get breakfast started. Going to make some chili as well to enjoy during football today. Hopefully my Wolverines can keep the Big 10 unbeaten Bowl game streak intact. Go Blue!!
Have a good one.
Rob
Hoping for a good 2018
Laptop says it’s +7, no warmup here either, in fact colder before the week is over. Hangover food today, goes back to our party days. Home made potato salad and sloppy Joe’s. Eat when your hungry. Da Chief can have my grits the rest looks good.

First 'a 2018 Morning all!
17 first thing and headed to a balmy 28 today! No ice here but it got Ft Worth pretty good. Daughter and BF made it to El Paso ok last night - but the normal 10 hr drive turned into 15 due to bad (icy) roads.
Hey Joe - maybe we’ll see you at York some day?
Happy New Year all
Computer says its 29* out there going up to 34* My thermomentor thingy on the front porch say 42* but I have never seen it go below that lol. It gets there and it refuses to go any colder lol.
Bake a ham and fixens for today. Hope all have a good day
Mornin’ all!
Got my “Happy New Year” wish in shortly after the year turned. So we’re off to a good start.
Had a fire going from 5:30 until 2AM yesterday. Burned through most of the wood the boys and I chopped, but nice to have that going when it’s this cold.
I’ve heard that as cold as it’s been, Friday is supposed to be brutal as the cold mass dipping down from the arctic will be here. They’re saying we could be sitting at a high of 0°. Unreal.
Have a good one!
So much for the “Chugger Barn” today, I set the heater to 75 degrees, it’s been running at least three hours and the “JT’s Mega-Steam” smoke fluid’s still frozen in the bottles! Probably should have set the heater to “max.” It’s not TOO bad out there but still a bit uncomfortable. Oh well, there’s always next weekend.
