Coffee anyone ?

The Great GOAT Roundup! Hahaha!

Coffee is ready. Was chosen yesterday for a jury. Will probably be all week, maybe next week. I’ll be outside soon doing chores in the dark, have to be there at 7:45. It’s a 35-40 minute drive. We are dismissed at 4:45, it was full on dark when I finished up last night. I really wanted to come in the house and discover to my surprise that the Chef Fairy had descended and left me a smoking hot gourmet meal! Alas! That didn’t happen so I had a frozen, cooked in the oven, pot pie.

Up to 70 mph winds today maybe higher with some rain. Temperatures are around 50°F and then will take a leap off a cliff by this weekend. Got half a roof up, surely not going to fight the wind for the other half of the roof, will wait till next week to start again, though I could see the customer ready to explode when I told him that. As you can see Sunday it will hit 37°F cause of we had to shut it down for the rest of the week, he expects me to take my Sunday and go work on his house. What he doesn't know and is none of his business is, I might stop outdoor work for weather, but I still have indoor jobs. This working 7 days a week is burning me out.
Might put my phone on airplane mode till next Monday.

All I can say is God Bless you for those temps and the wind and the stupid guy with his house... Get it under roof as soon as the winds will let you...like you said; and be done with him for the winter... His stupidity for waiting so late to start... With the kind of weather you guys get, I would think that everyone would start in May, get everything under roof by the first of Sept so that all inside work could be done after that.
I think about the poor animals in that cold and wind there...

Okkkk I'll quit whining about the cold here because that looks terrible.
Forecast calls for sleet today and the rest of the week. I see a three day window of no moisture forecasted in the next 10 days, for now...

Dodgeball tournament after school today and the winning kids get to play the teachers. I think I'll warm up for this one so I can have hope that I will be less terrible.
Y'all have a lovely day and stay warm and dry.

My DD is doing sub teaching this winter at an elementary school. School closed yesterday & today -- snow days. No pay for her. But it's 24* out there now & icy roads are more concern than the snow. It's only a couple (unwanted!) inches here but 40 miles NW they got 5-6".....windy rural roads. School she's at is half way between, so closing was good for safety. Courts & public offices are on 2 hr delays. I'm on the outskirts and appears we have about 1.5"-2" out there. I'll be in it soon enough! Not rushing. Animals have barns. I'm having coffee. Later I'll move my scheduled jobs from today to Thurs. Only an hr ea at 5 stores, so not driving today!
