Morning Hosers, You know when you have a cold there is that 24-48 hour peak of misery then you start to feel better? Well I have been at that peak for almost 7 days. Usually with a cold I just take some decongestant and go about my business but that has not worked for me this time. Ugh.

Good morning all, and hope everyone stays safe (and feels better, @SquarePeg).

The forecast for our area was for barely anything, and that's what we got--a dusting. It's flurrying out now, though, so that's something.

The cold has won out, moving south this morning. Savannah will have to be another time!

2-3”/hr snow fall rate and thunder snow here right now.

I got up this morning at 5:00, had Gary coffee, plowed about 3"... -15°. My engine just groaned a little, then fired up. Got to plant and had to clean that up to, they didn't get much but the one drive drifted pretty good. Had a heck of a time getting the Kenworth started, no heater in block. She's rolling now. I am filthy dirty and it's not even 10:00. I need more coffee.

Sideways snow happening here.

That sounds like what was going around here, at work, the week before Christmas. I hope you feel better, soon.

GM all. Hope everyone here in the northeast is enjoying this cold, snow and wind! I noticed the birds are looking everywhere for extra protein and skipping the seeds that out for them. Don't know if it's this long stretch of cold or this storm moving up the coast that has them on the hunt for spiders and bugs.

They're probably looking for a hot meal.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Maggie goes in for her first haircut today. Last night was dinner, guests and the patio. It was a very pleasant evening with the overhead heater and fire table, everybody was very comfortable chatting away, sipping our wines and eating dinner.

It wasn't terribly warm inside the store.
The floor machine didn't get plugged in yesterday so it didn't go everywhere.
But the buffer made it look swell.
Caught a package of cheese before it was ruined. Put some other stuff away.
Sold my made up box of pennies to Trish and now going to see if Peoples Bank has a box. Got about 4 minutes under 4.75. With almost 7 yesterday it is looking like a pretty decent check next Wednesday.

Gary thinks you would have enjoyed dinner last night. 18 hours of Sous Vide with rosemary, garlic some vino, seared prior, Sous vide up to 135F then sear again to 145F. A rub of herbs and spices and Gary's BBQ Sauce. Mary Lou made a ton of appetizers cucumber wraps and strawberries with basil and mozzarella. Gary's flatbread was one of his best and starting with a sparkling red from Temecula (very peppery) and a Zin from Paso Robles from vines which were first planted in 1880. All wrapped up with homemade strawberry ice cream (made with coconut milk) and/or orange sorbet (backyard yard Naval and Mandarin).
