Super icy here this morning after last nights rain and the overnight drop in temps. It will all melt eventually but probably not before I have to go out there! Have to pick up some things locally for tonight and tomorrow. Busy busy day today because I farted around and spent all of yesterday making Christmas cookies with Princess and various friends and relatives who stopped by instead of getting some of my cooking done. Totally worth it though as we had a great time. My cousin’s 4 year old declared it the “bestest fun ever” as she sat there covered in sprinkles and frosting with a big silly smile. A beautiful memory made.

May not be checking in much for a few days. Wishing all you Hosers a merry and bright Christmas!

You can take a child's declaration to the bank! Gary thinks we should all go to Peg's house for the bestest fun ever!

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Gary has some rappin' to do then a sweet/citrus bread and some type of loaf. Gary has some cleaning to do before guests ... then shoo the chickens and goats out of the bedrooms.

Speaking of children ... a child gave Maggie a hug and said she was "a muffin dog". Gary and Mary Lou liked that.

Maggie is definitely a muffin dog.

Morning, hosers. I have wrapped presents that will be distributed to my family tonight, but forgot that I still had to get a few things. So I will finish my coffee and go out in a little while. Not looking forward to it. I am trying to figure out if I have some bad allergies this morning or if it's the beginning of a cold. Le sigh.

Speaking of coffee, I have brewed up a mixture of my regular beans plus some home-roasted beans from @Gary A. - gracias, Tio!!

My Sister makes biscuits and sausage gravy that Brenda at the store doesn't get CLOSE to at her best. Good stuff Maynard!
I'm back to the automatic watch experiment. I get into it trying to regulate it. Only been inside it 20 times or so.
I seem to either get +5 seconds or -15.
Trying for somewhere in between.

For many mechanical watches that's within specs for 24 hours.

Consider me rather anal about what time it is. I have a roughly $30 Casio that might as well be radio controlled. It never has gotten a full second off. It is the reference watch the others get set off of.
Beef Tips and Rice and Broccoli for dinner later.

Gary needs to box them there beans. Smooth as silk and wonderful aroma.

I like biscuits

Merry Christmas. I will be plowing tomorrow while all y'all sit there roasting your nuts by the fire. We got 4" so far, or according to wife, 7".... I will get a sick pleasure waking everybody up at 5:30 with my blade scraping on their driveways. We're supposed to get up to 8" by morning.

Merry Christmas, hosers. Been cold and overcast most of the day. Perfect day for cherry pie naking. The sun broke out late in the afternoon, just as the pie came out of the oven - I think I'll take it as a good omen. :1247:

Temps have really dropped outside, and tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and cold - perfect holiday weather.

Everyone, have a lovely Christmas!

davidharmier60 · Dec 24, 2017

The Beef Tips were MARVELOUS!
And since I need not awaken at 4am tomorrow I'm not in too much of a hurry to get to bed.

We’re expecting a white Christmas tomorrow! Hopefully it won’t keep our NH relatives from getting here in the afternoon. They’re expecting a lot more snow in NH than we are here.
