What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Can you get a pic of it coming down? I miss it. All that comes down around here is pollen...

 

This is a pic from Redneckchevy today in the "colder here. whats your temp what you burning" thread.

 

We are on the edge of the snow line. So far we are only getting some rain and ice pellets. It should change over to all snow later this afternoon/evening.

 

Some areas are white and some are green. Green here, white up by my mom in the Northwoods.

The way it's going I'll probably need to now in a week or so. Granted, it's going to rain tonight and turn to snow overnight. It won't stick though.

It's just grey here. Grilling my semi famous ribs right now.

 

My wife made her grandmothers signature Easter cookies yesterday. First Easter without her. She wanted to bring some to her parents, and have the whole family go, but keep distance outside.

It went every bit as poorly as I expected. MIL trying to get the oldest to grab the gifts she put put that we said we couldn't take as soon as my wife walked up to talk to her dad (they had first responders in the house last week)

Then the kids crying most of the ride home. Margaritas are helping though.

 

Ahh, the good old days. Caribbean rum punch going down way too easy here. Dangerous...

 

So far all my relatives that had the virus are home. My cousin told me today that his mom, who is 97 and in a nursing home, is not doing to well. They can only visit her by looking through a window to her room. The nurses said she is failing, but my cousin said she looks well. He thinks the nurses might be overwhelmed, overworked and depressed and not really being that accurate with her assessment. Still, at her age my aunt is highly at risk.

The rest of us are doing well. My son and his family are staying over their house and we are staying at home, except my wife brought over some of our ham and veggies so it seems like we are together. They are doing the greetings and food exchange outside the house and keeping their distance. I’m beat up by an arthritis flare today and stayed home. All in all I guess you could say that life is still good.

How is everyone doing in your family? Hope you are having a Happy Easter.

 

Easter was good brought a load onto wood deck for high 40 and rainy end of week

 

Well, I do have my "quarantine cut" hairdo now...

Admittedly, it's longer on top than the sides. The clippers are fun to use.

 

I’m sorta on my own down here. I feel your pain today. I can barely move. My right hand is useless, just a club. Hopefully tomorrow brings us some relief. I took an elderly lady some country style pork ribs the other day. I like to cook but it’s hard to do for 1 person. Turns out she likes to bake. Banana nut bread on Thursday and blueberry pie yesterday. I’ve been giving her fish too, I think I’ll keep it up.

 

I attempted my first self cut last week. #7 all over, did it in the side yard while looking at my reflection in a window. Wonder if the neighbors saw. It came out better than I expected.

 

You should have a good support system if she likes to bake and you like to cook.

 

Definitely. I took her some Cadbury creme eggs too, she loved them.

 

We just finished our humble Easter supper. We miss the usual family gathering.

The ham slices were simmered in our own maple syrup. It was really delicious. Heading for a little fire pit with the family. An Easter to remember for sure.

 

Sounds like a great exchange! I really hope you can shake your bad spell.

 

I did mine mostly by myself. I had my wife try to blend it in, but it's more of an 80's hairdo.

Could be wayyyyyy worse

 

Hold out hope, there's always next time.
