Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Hello Cafe.
Very grateful for each and every day.
It's been a crazy couple of years for me and I wouldn't have made it if I was still drinking.
So sorry to hear that covid is affecting so many. We are very cautious but you never know. I am scheduled for a cardiac ablation on January 4. I have a covid test on January 3 to double check before surgery. Will be glad to have that behind me.
It's sure great to see everyone here. This place was a huge help in getting me where I am.
I'm grateful for another 24 hours.

Brrrrrr, it's cold out! -35C (-31F) this morning headed to a low of -42C (-44F) tonight! I've had my truck plugged in since I got home on Friday in case of an emergency call-out and keeping my fingers crossed that I won't have to unplug it till tomorrow morning.

Hopefully your surgery goes well [MENTION=9757]NoraC[/MENTION], you deserve an easy year after the last couple you've been through!

You're back in the saddle [MENTION=24196]Rava[/MENTION], and that's what counts!

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

It’s cold here too this morning which means another day of staying inside, maybe a Skype visit with the grandkids, riding the stationary bike and sitting by the fireplace with a book. I hope you don’t have an emergency call out Cowboy, it’s dangerous to be outside in these temperatures.

Nora, so great to see you. I’m glad the Cafe was a help to you when you needed it. The current regulars here are a great support, just as you found when you were here earlier.

Have a great af Monday everyone! Stay safe.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

NoraC, hope all goes well with your procedure. Please check in when you can. Sending healing thoughts your way!

I second the sentiments about the Cafe. It's a place of wonderful support with kindred spirits. So grateful for all of you. 24 more please!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Those are dangerous temps, Cowboy and QW! Be mighty careful!

Norac, we'll all be pulling for you!

It's unseasonably warm here and I just wish I could share some of it with you folks dealing with extreme cold and snow!

24 more please and thank you.

24 more please!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Hi Cafe and thanks for all of the support. I am back again and no alcohol since Christmas night. It snuck up on me so quick. I went to bed early last night and got up this morning feeling great. Our grandkids are throwing up and congested. This makes me very nervous as we fly home in two days. The last thing we need is a GI bug. UGH. Nora hope you are doing well. Wishing everyone a great Monday. Another 24 for me please and thanks.

We're in the same artic outflow a little further west, but only got down to -20C last night, but forgot to keep the taps trickling... and now frozen pipes (which is no fun at all).

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[MENTION=9757]NoraC[/MENTION], my husband had a cardiac ablation a few years ago, and he felt so much better afterwards. Sending thoughts your way that the procedure goes well and that you heal quickly.

Not much to report here, so I'll just ask for another sober day!

5:17am in Alberta, 24 more for me please, and thanks...

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Fingers crossed for you and Mr. R, Rava. Let's hope the bug your grandkids got is one for which you have immunity. Ugh I bet you're looking forward to getting back home to sunny Florida!

I took my sewing machine in for a tune up because it wasn't working right. It's back now and I've already used it to repair a zipper on my granddaughter's hoodie. Working like a charm! My machine has a variety of decorative stitches which I have never mastered the use of beyond the zig-zag stitch. I regret not having taken classes in how to get the most out of it back when I bought it 20 years ago. I have been exploring various tutorials in youtube recently. It's amazing what you can learn on youtube! And there are so many natural teachers out there! What a blessing.

Mulburry, such a shame about the pipes! Good luck getting them open again.

24 more please and thank you.

Our 2 oldest daughters live in Vancouver [MENTION=24679]Mulburry[/MENTION], or I should say one in Vancouver and one in New West, and the one in Vancouver rents a basement suite. She had frozen water lines to her toilet and shower and I gave her some things to try to get them thawed out. Not easy to do when they are behind finished exterior walls that have no insulation! Even though your temps seem mild to us, I imagine it feels like the -43C we have this morning when you aren't used to it being that cold!

I'm getting cabin fever so I think I'll venture out to the farm today to check the heat in the shop and pumphouse, and go have a look at the neighbor's boiler that heats his shop. He called yesterday that it's been acting up but the tube heater I installed for back-up heat last summer has been keeping the shop warm enough.

I wonder how many people still do their own sewing [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION]? Seems like most people just throw out clothes rather than getting them mended. I remember my mom spending hours in front of her old Singer treadle sewing machine mending all our clothes!

Hopefully you both stay healthy for your trip home [MENTION=24196]Rava[/MENTION]!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good morning Cafe. Im sitting in bed playing on my iPad. The kids are still sick but so far so good for the MR and myself. I am really looking forward to getting back to the warm and sunny weather. Dill, I agree You tube is the best. We have learned so much from it. I also sew but not well. I may have to look up some tutorials for my Singer Simple machine. Wishing everyone a great day. Another 24 for me please and thank you.
