Merry Christmas To All!

Less than a week left of what has seemed like a year that just refuses to give up.

Hopefully 2021 will be a much better year.

 

If I try going out today I'll be looking like my "Mommy" dressed me. 11° here now with a WC of -5°.

 

So..What's on your weekend agenda?

 

 

 

 

Brunch at son's house today. Big meal with other son's family and his in laws at our place, tomorrow. Sunday...probably R&R. 

Merry Christmas Larry, and to everyone on TPW

It is pretty darned frigid here in mid-Georgia this morning and only projected to get into the upper 30's.

Expecting to see our daughter this afternoon and have our Christmas then and zoom with our son and SO in Ohio.

 

For the weekend I have a little paint project to prep for, and will hopefully be ready to shoot as soon as we have a warm and dry enough day. 

I had bid on a few pieces of auction furniture last week but did not win the bid.  I will spend some time this weekend looking for suitable plans that I can either follow or use as a guide.  May be back into woodworking in a couple weeks.

Merry Christmas!  Spending a quiet weekend at home puttering around the shop since the rush to get everything done is over until next year.

Yeah, just got up and turned on the heat in shop.  Frigid, more like pucker factor 0......  

Had video chats with family in northern OH and MI.  Got a trace of snow here overnight.   They both got much more.

 

Sort of a laid-back holiday this year.  Santa brought some snacks and a few other small things.

Sent the grandkids gifts over to their house this morning, my wife will facebook with them when they get ready to open them. Otherwise not much, the snow was only enough to put a coat n everything...but it's plenty cold.

We got 3.5 inches of rain yesterday. I guess we should be thankful it wasn't snow! Quiet day here, got a duck in the oven for a mid afternoon dinner then a Zoom meeting with siblings.

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and got what was on your list. The wife is making then dinner for next week and we are just watching some movies. Son and family here next week. I am nursing a bout of bronchitis and started Z Pak yesterday boy sure feel better today. Have been reconciling the counts of what I have in online shop. After next week will rebuild inventory and have already ordered some parts.

 

Now thinking of getting into pyrography with the present the wife gave me.

planning on enjoying some steaks tonight.   deer, reindeer, moo cow......i think moo cow.

Santa is bringing me Missus a Qnique long arm quilting machine and queen frame. So it’s time to get rid of the bed in the craft room (formerly sons room). mattress is going to the dump first thing tomorrow, and then the bed frame is getting sawzalled up.I will keep whatever pieces might seem useful,and thee rest is going bye-bye

Had son and his family with the 2 grandchildren here today.  They had gifts.  Got my son a 6 gal. compressor from Horrible Freight.  It is built by Stanley or Black and Decker.  They look alike.  The grandchildren had educational gifts, gems, crystal growing, and gooey putty with lights and magnets.  I gave pens to neighbors.  Very much appreciated.  Then we went to Denny's for take out, but could not get service.  So, walked down to Waffle House and even though the house was full, we got complete service in just a few minutes.  In less than 30 minutes, that team had all those customers out and on their way to their destination.  Walmart parking lot was totally empty.  I had never seen that.  

 

Weather wise, we got down to 33 this morning with a Jack Frost.  Had to water my garden before the sun lit it up.  Have it covered for a hoar frost tonight and temps down to 29.  I want a wall along the border of Alabama and Georgia to keep the cold wind out of Florida.  And, I want the 2 offending states to pay for it.  LOL  Anyway, we'll be back in the 60's on Sunday and the remainder of the week until about Thursday.  Time to get more done.  

 

Hope all had a wonderful day with your famiilies.  My gift was to watch happy family member unwrap their gifts and find what brought them joy.  Tomorrow, will get the replacement pack of Legos that the first shipment sent by FedEx to Missouri instead of Florida.  Hmmmmm!

First round of gifts opened. Every one was happy. Son gave us a large, undersink RO unit. 

Today is the second round with other son and his in laws, all at our place for a meal and gift openings. Should be 10 guests. 

 

 

At work today. Nothing to do and I doubt much happens unless emergency repairs.

 

Shop temp is 24F. Thankfully boss decided to keep door closed. For the moment.

Temp of shop at house.

 

Gene, it is so good to see that you are in compliance of having no more than 10 guests.  LOL

 

Went to Denny's yesterday and the limit for dining inside is fifty or fewer.  Yet, there must have been over 100 people inside.  :-(

 

Gunny, so sorry to see you get to work in a cool climate.  Better than in Afghanistan.  And, you shop temp is a little too warm for me.  When I am working, I like 60's.

Yeah me too. But I fired up heat yesterday at 0630. Then went back to bed.  Got up at 0900 and went to check on shop. Cut heat off till about 1900.  Was nice.
