Good evening and happy March,



Had an easy day hanging out at home, made some blueberry muffins for breakfast. They were quite yummy.



I have been watching the NHL trade rumors all day, waiting to see what the Bruins will do to better themselves. There was a little bit of chatter that a deal was imminent late last night, but still nothing. Being a diehard fan is tough work. cheesy



Played some Addams Family pinball, watched the snow...



Getting ready for bed, I need a good night of sleep.



Goodnight, everyone.

Sounds like a fun & relaxing day off!
Hope you're getting a great night of sleep!! Happy Monday~

Hello folks! I have been trying to get here, all day long, but without any success, due mostly, just being busy inside the house here.

I had the bathroom project on hold while I was working night work this past week and so today, I was on a mission to get on it.... I got the vanity installed, the toilet installed, all the baseboard and trim molding installed, caulked and painted. I got 90% of the job all cleaned up and the toilet is fully functional. Tomorrow night, we will go out to Lowes and or Home Depot and pick out a new faucet for the vanity and then I can get that installed and running.

It kept me busy all day, especially all the molding and trim work, it was a lot of specialty cuts and measuring twice and cutting once sort of a thing...

Soooooo, how about this crazy weather??? I mean, we totally got nailed with an ice storm. I bet you, between the ice, sleet, snow and freezing rain, it's about an inch and a half of nastiness out there. I'll tell though, the best thing that I invested in this past fall, was that two-stage snow thrower attachment for the tractor. I fired it up, lowered the setting for the blades and man, I put-er in gear and I was throwing some ice....about a good thirty yards away....Nice~
I had to venture out and get the driveway and pad cleared in order for Zach to get home from work. I even gave it a good coating of salt as well.
He's here now, got home about 15 minutes ago.

What a productive day! Good for you, friend!

Glad Zach got home safe.

Be safe out there today! Stay warm, too!

Hey there you go! Sort of makes you feel good, when you sit back at the end of the day, and look back at all you got done, and you think to yourself, not a bad day! I hope you were able to relax and enjoy some you time tonight....

Thanks, friend!
We did- watched a movie in front of the fire, and I caught up with some friends and my parents too. It was nice!

LOL, breakfast television out of Toronto has the host Kevin Frankish talking about all the homes that still have Christmas lights up and on.

They played "Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas" while showing the lights. (they looked great!!)

Kevin said they should come down because it is March, while his co host Dina said to leave them up and on as it made things brighter

I'm with Dina leave up it looks great !

Good Morning, Folks.

Onward -- ever onward -- goes our quest.
For that elusive Fountain of Merriment which is our beloved Christmas Season.

The 2015 version is thus counted:
Days to the Season: 256
Days to Christmas Day: 298

And with the 300-day Christmas Day Window now open, thoughts naturally turn towards our next Milestone.
Let's check the chart.

Hmmmm.......

Well, after concerted consultation, I have concluded our next marker is the ONE THIRD Season Milestone, and (now, you had better clinch that stump of a pipe real tight in your teeth) it's only 13 days away!
(Why, that's less than 2 weeks off. Holy corncob!)


Cold, cold, cold.
I never saw it over 33 degrees all day yesterday with a continuous drizzle.
Yuck!
At this rate, the left over snow will still be here on St. Patrick's Day! Enough, already.
The weather service promises a brief warming trend before plunging temps and more frozen precip returns for Wednesday night or Thursday.
** sigh **
For now, we are at 32 degrees and there is actually nothing falling from the sky!


Have a Marvelous Monday, Everybody!

so, ok now, I have some questions here to ask to Made, Jeff, Maureen, and others here, that know the inner workings of our security, networking and safety at MMC.

I saw that Merry and Sugar had mentioned their personal concerns about how and or why they do what they do about describing their loved ones. Now, that's fine and all, it is their choice and comfort ability levels and I'm 100% fine with that.

But, my question that I have, is for myself, how secure is what we post here, because I use my family's names and other day to day/ daily life things here about our lives and my life, because I am under the impression that our server is secure and that what we type/ post/ pictures/ albums/ friends, etc.... all are secure and private to us and the ones that we allow here to share in our lives.

Seriously, all joking aside, I am just looking to better educate myself about all that we do here and to be sure that it is safe here. And also, to share in that knowledge with all of us here as well.

Thank you very much!

Well were not a private board. So anyone can read. You just have to be a member to post. There are certain area's of the world that are blocked and have no access to the site. Your profile and photo albums are private and only registered members can see it. One thing to keep in mind though, is that we have 10,350 registered members even though there is only maybe 100 active posters. Now you can go in under the User CP tab at the top of the page and and then under the Profile Privacy link at the side of the page and change that so only people you have friended can see certain things under there.

Most of the security is aimed at keeping spammers and Creeps from posting.

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's been a wet weekend, so I didn't get a lot done. My brother and I worked on the Camaro Saturday, then we went to a church fund raiser yesterday, and had supper with my MIL last night. That's about it.

We have customers coming for the tour soon, so I better get to work.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

 

[made582]

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's going to be a chilly but sunny day here with a high of 27. It still looks like we are going to get freezing rain overnight. Yuck!!! Not to much going on today. Going to run some errands so I don't have to go out tomorrow or Wednesday when it is supposed to snow again. When I get back, I will probably so some more shoveling to try and clear up some of the area's that are melting as the sun hits them today. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!
