Only 10 here...and the sun is out!

Sunny, little wind, and a veritable balmy 19 degrees here!

Now, if it were 40, and day 3 of a 5 day thaw, I'd be out in my hoodie, hauling wood chips to the run and the garden.

Yep. The dark days of winter are past. Now for the cold days.

'Tire Tourniquet' Technique.
Worked great to seat the rim on the hand truck's flat tubeless tire!
Just in time to move a new bag of feed to the coop.

I've had to do that a few times. Hand truck, log splitter, trailer tire, and the UTV. Kind of a PITA but it works well.

Speaking of tires...I replaced the 2 front tires on the Jeep. Probably doubled or tripled the value of the car. 299.247 miles on it.
I needed all 4 tires but could only afford to get 2 this month. The shop owner was so cool. He got me all 4 and is hanging on to the other tires until I get my Uncle Sam allowance next month. I beat the 10% price increase by a day. The tires on hold will be the same price as the 2 today. I love doing business with local Mom & Pop shops.

It was 6 degrees when I left the house this morning. But there is not a cloud in the sky and the sun is blinding. What a beautiful day. I have the front door open. The radiant heat from the full light storm door feels so good. The down side is that I can see how dirty the glass is. LOL

It was easier than I thought it would be, surprised what good shape the ~25 year old tires are in....tho they have been kept indoors(garage) so no sunlight exposure.

I need to get DH to do this to a tire on the generator. The gennie is too heavy for me to move without working tires.

Hi Lovelies.
I am so happy that there were no chicken chaos as I suspected with P3 with the rest of the girls. On the contrary. She was polite and laid were everyone lays. Right by the entrance not being used in winter door,lol

She has noticed that P2 always wants to be picked up and carried around, so that is what she did today. The 3 times I went there, she followed me and after I put P2 down she was like, "I am next"

I did had a tiny dizzy episode this morning but I had my scrambled eggs and went right back to bed. Got up right at 1pm.

I have been procrastinating a lot since these episodes. I feel like I have no energy whatsoever. My new appointment is January 26th. Let see if I get medication or something. My sister told me that part of being dizzy could be my cerebelum, eyes or ears. And of course stress. So I have to have my ears checked next. Anyways, I love you all!
