It’s all over but the shovelin’!
Looks like we survived The Blizzard of Two Thousand Ought Twenty Six. Snow stopping by us by 10am, but the Blizzard Warning is on until 4pm.
Beau hasn’t left to plow yet, but he’ll do barn chores and head to Madistan in a while. Schools and most businesses are closed. -5 wind chill this morning.
Dolly did NOT mess around on this morning’s Potty Break, so you know it’s cold out there, LOL!
We got about 5” but it is windy, so lots of drifting. The bird feeders are very busy - I filled them last night pre-storm.
My day will consist of shoveling. Hoping for some sunshine which looks possible with temps only in the 20’s, today.
Back to the 50’s by Friday. It’s disheartening, but we’re used to it and I’m so VERY GLAD we got that February Thaw and I got the greenhouse and garden beds all set to rights for the Spring that is EVENTUALLY coming. :)
They make these blocks to go on the linear rod ends. Four matching threaded holes on the other side. Will be super easy to attach some flat bar to hold a small sprocket.
I'll be making something for now, likely out of wood, but I have an old bicycle I need to pull out to get the derailer sprocket and chain from - but not today.
Tomorrow I can pull the bike apart and get the chain soaking. Wednesday hopefully get a mock up tunnel side frame built of wood with the actuator attached and have a functional prototype. All bills paid so next week is another tunnel purchase week and will likely be more than "just another few hundred $$$". One more big spend after that for gables and I'm pretty much done.
