Good morning!!!!

PJSprog · Jan 15, 2018

25°F and snowing this morning, looking for temps to fall through the day down to the single digits overnight tonight. We got about 1" or so of snow at our place. We had light flurries most of the weekend, but no real accumulation until early this morning. Couple more days of deep freeze, then back to more normal 40s and 50s for highs towards the end of the week.

Happy Anniversary, Mr & Mrs Buppies.

Glad to read that David survived the not-a-missle-attack, and that Eric survived his muck chiropractic adjustment. Not to mention, everyone else bumping their heads and such.

Wife informed me yesterday that our electric bill was up near $300 for last month. I had to remind her, as she was running around turning off all the "unnecessary" LED lights, that the problem was the furnace running frequently during the near record 14 days below freezing. That, and constantly running the split unit in the sunroom along with a small space heater in an attempt to save her tropical plant she got free from a local nursery last fall. The LEDs are the least of our problems. It's just cold here this winter.

I made one trip out early Saturday morning to drop of a payment, and spent the rest of the weekend at home. I always strive for those weekends where I get in my car Monday morning and realize I haven't driven it since Friday evening. Got close this time. Spent much of that time in my studio. Got a lot of stuff done.

One thing to keep in mind any medical use of marijuana use that can be monitored by law enforcement will make you ineligible to own a firearm, big brother is watching.

LouNY- As I understand the MA process once an individual is medically approved by the Department of Public Health sends notifications to other State Agencies including LE and it is up to the discretion of the local chief of police to approve, deny, and revoke one's LTC.

I do have a LTC.

I believe that CBD oil and CBD products which are not psychoactive are legal for sale in all US states; products with THC are not and can not be mailed due to Federal laws

I definitely agree about Big Brother watching.

PJSprog- We have a Mitsubishi split unit and it seems to be a energy hog as a heater. I will not operate it in temperatures below freezing.

All states have there own methods and states may or may not go after individuals, but buying a new firearm and filling out the GCA paperwork you will either have to perjure yourself or you will be denied permission to purchase by federal regulation.

Lou- I do not disagree. There is no real consistency with State to State and/or State to Federal gun and/or drugs laws.

All of our weapons are registered in my name. Not sure if there would be any cross checks done. She's not going to get a card, that's for people who want to smoke pot. She can't by any means smoke it. CBD oil is injested, either by incorporation into food, drops into fluid, or by capsule form. There is minimal to near no THC component in it. You can actually buy it and get it shipped over the Internet. Talking two different animals here.

We actually got our paperwork for this project in on the last day at literally the last hour on the Friday deadline by the solar company. They heavily marketed this area.

The solar renters market their "free" rooftop systems here. The ones that give you a few pennies discount on your bill so they can put their system on your roof, so they can make money off of you. I send them packing, but many fall for their gimmick.

^^^^^^^^ I just hope that the CBD compound relieves your wife's suffering. No one should have to live a life with chronic pain if there is a safe method of treating it. Where's the quality of life?

My buddy told me about some marketer that tried to sell one of those "deal programs." I asked him if he wanted to pay someone to have them use his roof for their own energy production with a "reduced" cost savings in electricity when he could own his own solar system to produce electricity with no middlemen other than the electric company making profit. He actually saw my "logic"

Hope Sodamo is ok we have not heard from him since the false alarm in Hawaii

Thanks, definitely OK.
I seemed to have fallen behind here a bit.

Really can’t comment on situation without getting political - oh wait that’s why the local news is inundated with just about every politician in the state.!
So far, the one comment missing is how this would not have happened if the political opportunists hadn’t instituted this scare tactic a month ago.
Actually after hearing the warning on the radio I soon determined it must be in error as I couldn’t find a single reference on the internet, unlike the False Alarm message which seemed to flood in seconds.
