What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

I would have to paint it. Working around that color for years was all I wanted of it. I won't even watch medical shows. They screw things up so badly it makes me want to jump out of my chair and shout!
That is a darn nice chest if you have the use for it. Should last for more years than you'll want it!

 

Introducing my young ones to a classic movie. First time for them seeing E.T.!

 

Ah, to be that young again. Watching that with them ought to be a ball…

 

What a movie. We, I mean they, they loved it. LOL

 

Did you have a hardy breakfast before that? Energizing bunnyman!

 

Looking great!

 

Got me a new avatar wooo!

 

Scored a $5.00 wagner 8" cast iron skillet at a antique store today. This thing is as smooth as can be inside. I am going to do a bit of seasoning on it and it should be good to go.

 

Another blizzard. Couldn't even get out of town. Might get to work later on in the day but I doubt it, supposed to turning to freezing rain at 11.

 

Did the bills early today. That is always fun. NOT!

 

At the Maine state swimming and diving meet, allllllll day and half the night, watching my daughter, a first year diver.

 

It's official, not getting to work. Almost coffee time, then I need to dig out would pile before freezing rain hits.

 

BayHaven? My favorite seafood place not on the coast!

 

Yup, that be the place.

The boss and I have been going there from time to time for some time. It is just right for a little drive and good eats. The fact that the place is frequented by a lot of us older folks doesn't hurt either.

For another line of fare it would be a trip to Naples and Bray's.

 

I hear before they start the meet, each swimmer has to actually cut their own slot through 2' thick ice! Rugged Maine girls…

 

I noticed some more ice on the side of my house, meaning ice dam problems. I had worked at it a little last week but apparently not enough. So I got the ladder out and went at the ice on the gutters/eaves. It actually was quite easy to remove today, just had to clear the snow above and wait a few minutes for the sun to do its work and get a layer of water between the ice and the roof. All that was needed after was a little bit of chipping at the leaf guard on top of the gutter and the ice came off in big blocks. Still took time as I was only doing a few feet before needing to move the ladder but I got my entire roof free except for the area by the electric service. The back gutters are now running clear down the down-spout. The front didn't get enough sun to melt free but water is coming over the top of the gutters.

This summer I need to put in some of those electric gutter/eave melters. Chipping at the roof and gutters is for the birds. If today wasn't bright and sunny I never would have been able to remove the ice dams. I saw a house down the road that with the electric heat rope, they have a nice triangular pattern on their eves and ice free gutters.
