Wind warning today. 25-35 with gusts of 50-65. It's blowing pretty hard out there right now. It's definitely a Chinook. Our temp is 55° at 11:25pm. My yard is going to be a big mess tomorrow.
Coffee anyone ?

What is a Chinook? I'm not a fan of wind. Sorry you're getting them. Stay safe!

@RR Homestead congratulations on FINALLY closing. It will sink in that all the PITA drama is over and it is yours now. It's a pretty good feeling. When I bought this place, it was a cash sale, simple-right? Wrong. It still took 3 months of up-down closing dates that kept getting moved. 3 weeks after I moved in, and that took several more months because of all the stuff I did inside the house and all the fencing outside, @Ridgetop, her DH and I took off for Tennessee to @Mike CHS to buy his ram Cooper. Then a couple of weeks after that I had knee replacement surgery. The fun never stops.
Coffee is ready and I'm going for my second cup. Got to leave out early, going to feed store an hour away to get 2 super bags. 1,000 pounds for me, 500 pounds for @Margali . Then come home and bail out the feed into 5 gallon buckets and dump into metal trash cans and 55 gallon barrels. That will take a couple of hours.
Son said he's gonna mow where I want to put up the round pen, then I can put all those panels together and T-post in a few places for stability. And finally start working with Max the horse. I got a saddle to clean up.

It's snowing again... I think I just need to copy that to paste it each time I respond on here like a rubber stamp then hand write in the temperatures. Snow today, will be back Tuesday and not stop till Friday.

@RR Homestead the ownership will sink in about the time you unload the first trailer full...that's when you shake your head, think WTF and WHAT was I thinking??? Yep, more trips, more anxiety, more self questioning. 
eventually things improve.
Slept late. Slept well. Enjoying my morning brew.

In the same position as Weldman with the snow, just assume us Montanans are getting snow until we aren't.
Going to go see if I can run outside on the streets, they might just be covered in snow and I am not sure how possible it will be. Relaxing after I run, and then kids got a basketball game tonight so I'll go to work around 4:30ish I think.
Enjoying some lazy time, should start putting on my running shoes.

I'm relieved for you, @RR Homestead. Now to clear your head of frustration, anger, and bewilderment at the incompetent fools that didn't handle anything right....
What do you and your hubs do, when working graveyard? I've never worked Grave, just swing shift at a garlic plant in Gilroy CA. My best friend from 2nd grade, was a policeman in Milpitas and he LOVED grave.

A Chinook is a warm wind. It can take temps from freezing to 40's even 50's like it did last night.
Morning all!
We started cleaning the basement last night. Our son's workbench that his dad built for him sits under our bathroom. We have to move it out of the way so we can get in there to change the plumbing. We're taking out the tub and putting in a curb less walk in shower. In prep for when we get too old... it's coming. Hubs already has a hard time with the tub.
The wind trashed our yard with pine needles and cones last night. But there are no branches, yay. The beehives are still upright and believe me, that's a very good thing...lol So glad we put the fence behind them to block the wind.
Hubs is playing golf today, it's currently 53° and very little wind. He'll play all winter long, unless there's snow on the ground. I'm baking a loaf of sourdough and working on a couple of craft projects, Christmas gifts. Need to get them done before we go on our trip. I have a feeling we'll start tearing into the bathroom when we get back home.... just in time for Christmas...lol Maybe hubs will decide to wait until after. I just want to get it done.
I decided to fast a while longer today, so no tea yet. It's good for the body.
Have a lovely day all!
