    Will do! :handshake: He has been overloaded with attention the last few days.

    I think maybe laying in the snow helps him out. Must have felt better on his sore leg/joint. He will climb on top of a snow bank and just lay there. Watching over everything.

    Hopefully he's better now
    Yep. Have had one of those fur several years now. Different brand, but save idea. Mine can start an 8 liter gas or 6 liter diesel. It's saved my butt a few times. Out on the water even. It was like $60 when I bought it, I think around $80 now. I recommend them for everyone.

    We got a good 8" of snow Wednesday into Thursday morning. It's been really cold, down to 7° last night, but it's already 28° now. Supposed to get to 40° this week. Hopefully the snow stays for a white Christmas.

    Nice day and still 46 degrees out, so not much wood use today. Did bring a load in but temps are going to be min-40's until after the first of the year.

    Been thinking about a jump-box but never pulled the plug yet. Worry about the shelf life of them as it's not something you use often.

    Similar mild weather here too, love it! Afraid I don't have interest in the box jumpers.

    I am on the mend from a health issue and finally got out last week and put about 3 cords on the ground and bucked. Now I'm on hold, working on the honey-do list instead. Mom-in-law will be here tomorrow :D. I even bought a MS361 off marketplace I need to go through. Can't wait to get back at it. I just hope it doesn't turn into a mud bog out there. Everyone ready for the holidays?

    I've had mine a couple of years. They really don't lose much of any power even after several months of sitting. I use mine a bit, even if just for a phone charger. I looked on Amazon and there's several similar to mine, for about the same price right now.

    A little bit of work left to knock out this morning and I'm done for the week. Hopefully I'll get a little bit of time in the woods toward the end of the week.

    I have had great results from Gooloo and Noco. I keep one in my truck and two in the shop. The 2000A will jump start anything at least once and the 4000A will jump start several times on a single charge. When the power went out I brought one in the house to charge our phones.

    Caffeine in. Wood Gun loaded. Front walk shoveled. Time to get showered and head into the heavenly realm. I mean, the workhouse.

    Yikes! Is this taught in schools? If so, it is no wonder folks struggle with math.

    Rain all day here. Off to the shop, turn on the pellet stove and work on some saws.

    It snowed yesterday. About 2". I work out at the gym at work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so instead of running the snowblower, I shovelled the driveway. That was a 45 minute work out. Perfect.

    We're officially going to have a white Christmas!
    My wife and I gave each other plane tickets to go to Mexico for my 50th birthday in March. We're just giving each other stocking stuffers.
