Sunny at the moment that is. Whether it remains that way, we shall see. Rain/snow showers supposed to be around. Had a few yesterday, so but most of the day was dry. Shelia, you are right about my weather paralleling yours. And yep, come Thanksgiving anything goes. I got snowed out of having dinner with my cousin last year. Wasn’t the first time Weather has messed up Thanksgiving and won’t be the last.
BJ, did you find what you wanted to know about taconite pellets? Many people who don’t live near the Great Lakes are aware of the cargoes that are carried aboard the ships out there. Thry are called lakers.. Ore, cement, wheat, coal, salt, oil, etc. Are just a few. The cars we drive, the steel framework in buildings and other things made of metal , the cereal and bread on our breakfast table, the salt that melts the ice on the northern state's roads in winter, the cement in driveways and house foundations come from those ship holds. Over 200 Mi,lion tons of cargo is moved to and from 63 ports. That doesn’t include the cargoes delivered or hauled out on ocean gong ships from around d the world. This was the Edmund Fitzgerald, the ship behind the song and the last ship to have been sunk in modern tines. She lies broken in two, 550 feet down in Lake Superior. There are a lot of pictures of the wreck online and very eerie.
Barbie, sorry nothing came of the look-see yesterday, but somebody will come along. Everybody has their preferences. Mine was on the market for about a month before it sold. But I had listed it before and took it off from lack of interest and slow market. Beth, my two furkids don’t like rain either, but they will go walking in a light drizzle. Thty LOVE the snow though. So do I as I don’t get wet in that, LOL.
Martha, glad you are out camping again for a bit. Judy, sounds like you are cooking up a storm, making jam. Anita, good luck with the parking issue.
Got errands run yesterday and looked at Ryobi blowers. Velda, do you know what model you have? What its air speed and CFM are? I have a lot f leaves here of course and need power to move them, especially when they are wet. But a battery ine would work n my drive, walks, deck and May e some minor leaf blowing. Holiday sales are starting and I grabbed a pack of two batteries yesterday, so I now have 6 batteries to power my drills, reciprocating saw and weed whipper. I was gong to wait till spring to get a new blower, but with the nice weather we have coming, might get it now, so I can do so pme cleanup of the oak leaves coming down.
Okay, enough talk about nothing here. Tine to move along. Have a great day.
