popular The Good Day All Thread

Good Monday morning all. Currently -1°C and clear. Brrrr
A very productive day yesterday, getting 3 of the big gardens cut back, the ornaments put away, and the 2 water pumps winterized just in time for the freezing night last night.
Then a friend came and picked up me and my 4 wheeler for an afternoon of trail riding. It was great, but wow are my shoulders sore today! Should make for an interesting day at work today,

Beef is very expensive here too, but I was lucky to catch a really good sale last week. I love grilled steaks and look forward to eating them tonight - didn't get to them yesterday.
Have a great day all

 

Today, the engineer came from the stairlift company to service ours.
No faults were found during a comprehensive test of the works and all the safety features.
He was in his fifties and had a young twenty-something year-old trainee with him.

He noticed my jukebox wall boxes on their shelf just inside the door to the front room.
So we got into a conversation about jukeboxes and vintage Motown records and artists.
He actually has a 1967 Seeburg. After the service, I took him down to the garden to show him my Rock-Olas. It amused me that his trainee hadn't a clue about what we were discussing.

 

Good Tuesday morning all. Currently just 1°C and clear. The high is only 11°C today.
Woke up very stiff and sore today. I pretty much hurt all over, and its clearly due to my ride the other day. I didn't get out yesterday, so hopefully getting out today will help.
Lots to do at work first!
Have a great day all

 

@Netty - you're going to have so much fun with the ATV Is it a Quad? or a Side by Side? I had a surprise cheque from a many many years ago job in my early 20s. Because my small pension contribution sat and collected interest for a few and a bit decades, the pay out they offered me will go towards a Side by Side in the spring. I find my quad and dirt bike are too hard on my arthritic hands these days. And the snowmobile especially. And this way I can take Angus hahaha

We have just come out a major wind event and three days without power. I was very grateful for our generator that kept the lights on and the heat tape and water pump going. The power crews would remove one tree and repair it and then another tree would come down elsewhere on the lines. They pulled crews out a few times as the wind made it unsafe.

Now that there are no leaves, the crews could see our lights on and came to check if we had a generator. One repair crew had their radio go out so they used our internet. It was thank you coffee travel mug refills and cookies for all around, and then back out they went. We counted about 8 trees that had taken down power lines on the drive to town.

This made for a day of firewood retrieval, splitting and stacking yesterday.

We are waiting for a blanket of white stuff to fall today. Which is good as we were up VERY late watching the World Series. Way past our bed time for these Blue Jays fans. Today can be a lazy day.

 

Good Wednesday morning all. Currently 2°C and clear. At least its not frosty this morning.
I'm still a little stiff this morning, and my arm is black and blue, but I think the worst is over. I went out for a short ride last night, but somehow different muscles are used when you are on flat ground. @Melody Mc. Its a quad, a Honda Rubicon, and its a lot of fun! I've got a Kubota side by side for plowing my driveway and doing the yard work, but its more like a tractor than anything. Both machines serve their purpose.
Off to work where fall clean up continues.
Have a great day all
