Title: Monday, December 1, 2025
Post by: Zephyrus52246 on December 01, 2025, 08:02:45 AM
Morning all,

Welcome to December!  It's eighteen degrees here, headed to a high of twenty five.  Also another one to three inches of snow today.  My wife got me an early Christmas present, an "electric snow shovel".  A couple of inches of snow isn't enough to get out the big blower, so we'll see how this works today.

I have twenty five days to get the layout area and basement cleaned up before all the kids arrive.  Hopefully will start that today.

Seasonally cool with clear skies, but snow or rain or wintery mix due tomorrow.  That's the same storm that dumped on Chicago and upstate New York.  

I'm still dealing with a sick dog, unfortunately.  We took her to the Vet ER Saturday, they did an (expensive) full work-up and didn't find anything serious.  But the vet there said "If this doesn't clear up in a couple of days, then maybe an overnight stay for more intensive care would be warranted."  We'll see what our regular vet says today, I sent her a message.

Clouds abound with on 120 showing on the thermometer.  Cold all week is the forecast.  Doc appt. today :-\

It was announced early yesterday, MICHIGAN State canned their coach, $33 million payout, and hired a guy that was canned from Northwestern that apparently "they" have been talking with for some time now. 

Our snow was wet and heavy but I was able to remove it with relative ease.

No plans after the doc.  Be well all.

I sympathize with the sick pet, Dave.  I've pretty much used up my Christmas budget doctoring the Doll's cat since Aug.  ;(

We're back from our regular vet.  She gave us a prescription that should help with The Runs.  It's stuff I have to squirt into the dog's mouth, so I watched how the vet tech does that.  (Livia HATES any handling of her mouth/muzzle...)  They said she should be better in a day, if not sooner.

Good afternoon, all. Sun is setting over the lower Merrimack valley and all I have to show for the day so far is the 5' rotary cutter put away, the 7' snowblower in its place on the Mahindra and one less tooth.  Looking over the forum now, Planning Board after dinner.  Modeling possible Tuesday depending on rain vs. snow ratio over my little patch of the NH borderlands.
