Good morning!!!!

We applied for our a Senior National Park passes on 8/8/17 after txdon advised of the upcoming price increase last year. So far, no joy, no passes. Now we know why?

Price Increase Leads to Delays in Lifetime Senior Pass

Don, did you have to tell nearly 1M of your closest friends?

By spontaneous, I mean nothing being done should started a fire. Again, I知 not saying there is veracity to the story, just putting it out there. May be hogwash, but just in case.

OK, I think the terminology you are looking for is a "system malfunction" - According to the article under the Facebook pic it said it was being used at the time of the fire to make FF. Since there is an electrical burner element at the top of the machine we could speculate an unspecified electrical short or overheating. Careful examination of the burner and wires to see if there was any arching might reveal the exact cause of the fire. If it has a thermostat it could have malfunctioned or been defective causing the element to overheat and ignite the plastic outer cover. But I still would like to rule out that back left burner by checking the location of the notch on the metal rod on the burned stove control knobs. Also kind of leaning to the overheating because a breaker should have tripped if there was a short, got to check the breaker box also.

oops

. . .but I can't remember where I put it. No wonder they call it a SENIOR pass, bet most are misplaced.

Good evening all. 20F this morning clear, light wind. High temp was all the way to 47F, moderate south wind, sky clear. Had to shorten up some firewood this morning, some needed splitting as well, got my wood rack almost half full again. High tomorrow is forecast for 57F, will let stove go out and clean up the ashes. Bike ride this afternoon, always harder to get started after several day layoff :ashamed::confused2:

Good morning all. Could not sleep so I finely just got up and started catching up on Good morning. I must be reading slower, it takes longer than it used to. 32 now, supposed to go down to 16 and then up to 49. Don't think we will make 16 tonight.

Randy, You are stringing this tractor buying thing out a long time. Just go ahead and buy it! Hope it works out well for you.

Have a good day. Ed

Saw below on the Texas Farm Bureau daily news email I get.

An 鐔*H HA! Moment on the glyphosate debate.

WHO cancer agency denies wrongdoing in glyphosate inquiry - Texas Farm Bureau

When I see the name of any organization start with the word World it becomes suspect very quickly.

Rick, interesting. There are a lot of people who want to ban everything that doesn't meet up with their personal "beliefs", without any serious thought about the alternatives. Sounds like another unscrupulous character cashing in on that.

Clear skies have sent us back below freezing, with a lazy sun that's taking it's time while it considers whether or not to clear the frost from the roof.

Dangerous times for me. Agricultural machinery dealer rang and asked if he could call by this morning ...


Einthewoods, great to see the new love in your life. Go steady, keep safe and keep having fun :thumbsup:

Prayers for Riptides Buckeyefarmer Toppop Ed and others needing them

We got ours in 2005. That $10 has saved us about $1k at campgrounds and other fees. :thumbsup:
