Good Evening.

1*F, clear and calm.

There is a chance to see the Northern Lights as far south as Connecticut tonight, but I see nothing at the moment.

interesting, I tried some for the first time last week. I usually just walk on by the fish counter at the Acme, but when this Tilapia looking whitefish was advertised by 5.99 a pound, I tried it. Sort of like a pumped up Tilapia, but what I bought unfortunately didn't seem that fresh. So I dumped a bunch of mild salsa on it and it was fine. Now I wonder what the heavy metal content is...it's not the water they swim in I worry about, though it's a catfish so I assume it will eat anything on the bottom , but it's the cheap Chinese fish food of unknown purity they are likely feeding the fish in pens. Before I get intimate with a fish I'd like to know where's she been...

Drew, I thaw the fillets in water just before cooking them. I have found that cooking in the oven using a roasting pan works out best for me. I don't use any oil, just a light spray of the non stick stuff. I use lemon pepper, salt, pepper and something with a few dried red peppers in it. Right now I'm liking Roasted Garlic and Herb, but you can't go wrong with Smokey Mesquite. It says to cook at 425 for 6-10 minutes per inch of fillet thickness. Margie likes hers a little more well done, so I do it for 8 minutes on each side.

9 degrees above for a change sounds like freezing rain/snow in the forecast for tomorrow.

Drew the comment about the samsung tv got busy and had to leave for work so I'll finish that now wife got me one for Christmas so could watch TV at kitchen table nice LED set 24in. New TVs are so complicated now not like old RCAs or Zenith just plug in and watch one of three channels back in the day

Oh yes, this Samsung isn't a tv, it's a giant computer screen, all the inputs are digital, except i did find one throwback connection, and it took forever to punch in all those wifi and password numbers to get set up for Amazon and Netflix. But i did, and it works. yeah, it's not like this thing defaults to Channel 3 like the old days.
This is one of the "last" of the plasmas, and I did have to turn up the brightness a little. But then what a beautiful picture. And the sticker says it uses only seventeen dollars a year in electricity. I bet my old 32 Sony Trinitron used that in a month.

Going over to Flemington NJ this morning to order a headstone for my late wife. Just a small thing, and one of the last things on my list to do.
Simple software program they use, like a sign maker I guess.
I told my wife she had my love forever, so I'm going to put a small heart on the reverse side. Probably an unapproved adornment, but since I've been on the graveyard/Trustees committee for decades, I don't think anyone is going to object...

27 degrees and freezing rain. Messy day.

Pioneer was the quality leader when plasma first came out, with some amazingly expensive stuff, but if you wanted the best you bought a Pioneer.
But then Pioneer could no longer compete with the lower end and the LG's and Panasonics took over. Sony has had a very hard time making money in this market btw.
Your two old Pioneers cost thousands of dollars apiece. My new 51 Samsung cost 799. Kind of amazing actually.
I had to get rid of the old tube tv because nothing would run on it other than dvds. Too bad, it was sure built to last.
Just that fact made me want to keep it, sort of appreciation for a job well done, but in reality, it's an enormously heavy eyesore that has to go.

7 degrees this morning waiting on the snow to come (40% chance) then freezing rain tonight
