We've had freezing rains all day. The temp has stayed right at 32°. The sidewalks and roads aren't slick, but the ice is accumulating on the branches, and wires, etc.

That is what I am worried about. the branches and wires.

The last ice storm there were so many branches down it wasn't even funny. Almost everyone had huge brush piles on their property.

Been getting drizzle all day here. I should have started hoarding rock salt sometime last summer.:D
 
Just found the Wraglerstar channel on youtube, wow! I know what I'm doing all Christmas break.
 
How is everyone today? Just made some apple sauce for the roast pork we're having tonight. Gonna roast it in my BBQ, have had a lot of success with roasting meats in my BBQ. Gonna be a warm day here today, nice to be in the AC relaxing :)
 
Went to Walking Foot Gear in Knoxville yesterday. Met Karen and bought a few things.

Doesn't look like a casualty...you just enuculated it is all. Maybe you could make a little 710 eyepatch for it.....or just finish the job and call it good.

We are bracing for an ice storm up here. We should get about an inch of ice and a lot of rain overnight and into tomorrow. The last time we saw weather like this we were without power for about 2.5 weeks. Could get interesting.

I really hope we do not lose power. I've got a house filled with females - MIL, SIL, 2 nieces (5&8), two girls of my own(9&12) and my spouse. And me, as the sole contributor of testosterone and facial hair, recovering from back surgery. Interesting is not the word I would use. Last time we had an ice storm in December, you could see the sky lighting up as transformers were blowing. The upside is we had a microburst in June this year which did a great job of delimbing a lot of the trees that were deadwood standing, so there's a lot less to come down on the power lines than there was during the last couple of winter storms we've had.
 
so far not too bad.
less than 1/2" thick layer of ice on everything and it's started snowing. got the back blade on the tractor so I can dig SWMBO's car out in the morning so she can go to work and I can play in the shop tomorrow.
today I made a couple hatchet masks for a buddy, did some re-grinding on the broken "test knife" from the spring gathering and started work on a set of walnut scales for it.

Well, for any watch fans out there, I got the watch I had previously mentioned, and I am more than impressed. Allegedly the improvements Casio has made in the gen 3 sensors in terms of power usage have extended the battery from 6 months on a full solar charge to 23 months, which should mean no more throwing the watch in the chandelier to charge in the middle of winter. Improvements in terms of size to the new sensors means my watch is now smaller than a Bob Evans biscuit, and considerably lighter. Here's a pic for those interested:

Casio PRW 3000-1A

Previously I fell in love with their PAW-1200 watch due to the compass, barometer, altimeter, and my favorite feature, the automatic light. This model has all the same features, as well as increased radio reception, and listing of sunrise/sunset times based on lat/long. For those who are not familiar, the automatic light kicks on when I rotate my wrist like I am looking at my watch, and the light sensor determines the ambient light levels are low. Coupled with the solar power charging and the atomic clock syncing, I don't know that I could go back to a different style of watch.

well, at least it does sun times...

would really like moon and tides, and more :D
 
Got in a cool little neck knife today! A nice little cutter made of S35VN.

Working on some paracord wraps, the more i drink the better they get :D
