Our micro climate of the farm seems to be keeping the temps far warmer than the expected lows. Yesterday morning it was supposed to be 32F but ended up at 40F. This morning was to be 25F and is at 30-31F.
I got the boys to school then when it had warmed some more mid morning I headed out on a ride. It tried to ride the sunnier routes but even then it was a bit chilly with the north winds.
The biggest Christmas display in our area is looking to be largely setup already. I get why they start so early as they have TONS of things to setup over the month.
It was a good ride and I got my average speed up a bit over my standard 15. It helps having some days off between burns.
It's interesting to me that my IF is almost always in the 0.8xx range, kinda regardless what the ride is.
Early afternoon I was in the greenhouse and picked all the good tomatoes from the plants to take inside the house to ripen in paper bags, which I will put them in today.
Then I ripped out all of the plants except a single lanky sun gold cherry. I figured I would see how it fared over night then if it survived I will pop off some of the leads and bring them in the house to grow over winter.
Still will have to pull some weeds before I can clean then pull the plastic. I rolled the side down for the night.
Picked J up from practice then headed out to cover the celery row for the night in case it DID get as cold as forecast. The rest of the week is mellow so will likely keep it uncovered. Will need to harvest and figure out where the hell it will all go.
Over the day I managed to setup a job for each day this week and Monday of next. 2 new clients and then 3 repeat clients. This is EXACTLY what I have wanted... a group of clients that will have work for me every so often. I don't need to have work every day but even 2-3 a week is great. Thumbtack keeps working really well and providing me new clients quite regularly.
Today I will get the boys to school, then I have my weekly session, then a tub spout replacement job in town that I will have to go get the new spout from Home Depot most likely, then this afternoon is J's last cross country meet of the season. Still oodles to do around the property but with mellow temps this week I will likely get some done each day between my scheduled stuff.
