By next hour, wind chill in the negatives no more.

Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.

Shoulder is better and my day was very enjoyable.
I hope you and your family enjoyed your day as well.

Christmas was kind of anti-climactic around here. At least it's warmer.
Got to make a to-do list for the next few weeks. I need to start cracking on my own house in between helping my friends on their projects and visiting my grandma and aunt now that the weather is going back to sane.
I think with my new heated vest I won't have a problem working on inside projects anymore even when I kick that heat back down to 53 degrees.

Out for my walk in a bit. It rained all night and the sun is out right now. Think I will take my umbrella just incase it decides to rain again.

Back from my walk and thanks to all the rain the snow is all gone except for small and large clumps in various spots. No need for boots, cane or my umbrella today. And my area has warmed up to 11C which is 52F.
So a very pleasant walk I had.

Yeah. Maybe when I get my own house in order I'll think about it more. It's always on my mind, and I've been growing my tool collection quite a bit through bartering. With the internet it probably shouldn't be too hard, and given the fact that my bills are so low I could probably lowball any of the competition pretty hard without giving the work away for free.
My buddy is really wasting all of that vacation time he was forced to take by the end of the year. We only went out to his rental one day to work last week before the cold weather set in and now he's talking about spending the rest of it with his son before he goes back to college. I mean, I get it man... but he's already taking a huge loss on that property with the housing market in a freefall. I know he doesn't want to hear it, but I think he's going to be stuck renting it out again.
That's fine. I'll know what's up this week tomorrow. I told him I have other things to do and I need a solid plan for him this week, even if that means I won't be helping out.
Just got back from the store and killed it on the rebates and post-Christmas clearance stuff. I got about another $150 worth of stuff that is only going to cost me $25 after rebates and the clearance prices.
I even managed to get a returned quart of pink and a quart of purple paint for only $2 each. I've been meaning to do some repairs on a piece of furniture I've had for years and paint it pink and purple for my niece, and now I've finally got the paint for it. Those are her favorite colors. This is the premium grade of paint too, and exterior satin to boot, so if I were to have bought this paint at full price and picked those colors, it would have been over $30 per quart before tax!
They also had a 3pack of LED head lamps with rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries that you can charge with a USB port for only $8.98 instead of the $19.99 they wanted for them before Christmas, and a few 10packs of 8" pegs for a pegboard for $.98 instead of $4.99 as well. All of those were things I wasn't planning on getting when I headed out to the store today, but I've been wanting one of those head lamps for painting and cutting in dark corners for almost 2 years now and the price was right. I haven't put any pegboard up in my garage yet, but I've got plenty of pegs for it now when I do in the spring.

Whew! Your batteries sure recharge quick, SIX!
I was planning on doing yardwork today bc rain and appts over the next few days, but after cleaning and decorating (minimally, but still...) and cooking most of the day yesterday, I guess today is my day off. At least I won't have to cook bc we'll be eating leftovers. Plus I have one last tomato from the garden for today's salad.
Well, better get to doing SOMETHING today bc tomorrow and the day after will be chewed up with Dr appts.
