Fredomlives: "This is actually a great illustration of the law of comparative advantage and social division of labor. The Division of Labor and Social Order | Carmen Dorobăț - YouTube I have an absolute advantage over my kids in just about anything right now, including splitting wood."

If the kids don't want to split wood just make them listen to the lecture, after two minutes they will be begging to get outside and work.

My kids actually discuss a bit politics and economics with me. Though, I am sure after the first couple of minutes watching Carmen, they would much rather go to another episode of "Mia and Me", "Shaun the Sheep" or one of the many annoying anthropomorphic train cartoons.

My son split enough today to fill two 5 gallon buckets with wood. His arms are tired. Which is good. Kids with all their energy spent are less trouble at bedtime!

Andrew- I like your version of "Division of Labor and Social Order." It works. Kids are a lot smarter than we assume. Wait to they start "unionizing." You and your wife and family are great examples of effective parenting. And your kids deserve credit too.

Trails_End- We have +9" here. There is something about decks; they're snow magnets. Our deck captures the snowdrifts from these coastal storms = 18" in spots. Our BigGreenEgg is already shoveled out.

Went to funeral today of my friend who had been in hospice. Only lived here 5 yrs, moved here from Illinois after his wife died, to live near his daughter. Such a nice man. Funeral home was amazed at the crowd for a 90 yr old that hadn't lived here long.
Met some nice relatives from OK.

Prayers for all.

Good people draw a crowd. At Lynns service the had to open a second chapel. At mine they will just use the hall! LOL

"Good people draw a crowd."- Randy

It definitely seems that way. I am glad to read that Lynn had a great attendance. Those attendees also showed up to show their respect for and support of you and your family.

It's sad that some "good" people pass and no one notices or cares and nobody shows up at the funeral.

Randy- I did not last 30 seconds.:embarrassed: I did not make it through the introduction(s).

Andrew- I would advise against future use of broadcasted motivational tapes to boost "worker" productivity, unless you and your wife are experienced in riot control.

just some pretty colors. This tree/giant bush is about to burst into tiny white flowers.

instead of taking the golf cart, after sitting and eating for three days, I walked. And walked, through both orchards, checked all the trees.
Beets are starting to poke up, snow peas a little larger and the garden just soaked from rain. Otherwise stayed in all day.
