Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Eric: those pics of the lamb were awesome..."so cute" as the wifey put it. Do you normally keep the newborn lambs inside for a while?

The sheep go up to a friend's farm where they have enough space for the lambs to be born inside and kept under cover for a couple of days. After that I get them back in batches of typically 10 ewes and 20 lambs. If the weather is bad I can then hold them back under cover in pens for another day or so before they go out into a field. Occasionally one will go and lay down in the wrong place and get hypothermia. If I find them in time I try and revive them in front of the kitchen range. It doesn't always work, this year bad weather has hit at just the wrong time.

I bought a security camera system yesterday, 8 cameras and a DVR.

L4N, Good luck with night vision, my pro installed one isn't so hot.
I live alone and when I travel, being able to log on and see that no band of gypsies has camped out
in my front or back yard is reassuring... Or that a tree hasn't fallen. My neighbor checks daily anyway and my camera
system records to the cloud. First system was local but easily defeatable by a crook.

You may get some great pics of critters, hope you can share some with us.

Wingsprd, installed in a large rectangular green plastic box, I'm guessing 10X20, so valves are easy to get to,
though I have covered it all in brown garden mulch and put a garden critter on top. House water shutoff is
right under the big snail.

Good morning, good nights sleep, Ready for breakfast. Hope you guys are all having good mornings.


Drew, I’m one mike from the transfer station and I gave the same problem with trash. Bags from McDonalds and whole bags of garbage.

Looks like the nor'easter predicted for Wednesday has dissipated. Clear cold week ahead of us

Good morning. All is white around here, the track up to the road has filled up overnight with more snow than I would want to drive through in my wife's car. I won't be driving mine through it either, as for the first time in decades, I haven't got one. The RAV was a nice 4 wheel drive hybrid and I confess I was a little sad to wave it goodbye yesterday, however it is now tasked with keeping our daughter's family safe in this bad weather. She wanted a bigger vehicle to cope with her expanding family and now it is hers to keep. If only the grass would start to grow - I could do with a mowing job like wngsprd to pay for a smaller replacement

Kyle, great to see he caught a good sized fish. My older grandson is about the same age and has an almost identical front toothless grin at the moment.

Drew, once a second LED flash (1 Hz) is a nice steady "heartbeat". If the controller is also supposed to flash to indicate too high an input, then I expect that would be a faster rate. As Ron says, you can't reliably check battery state from a voltage measurement once it has been on charge without leaving it for quite a while. You could measure it when you get up to take a leak in the night - just don't go splashing near the high voltage wires

Oh Boy! Today is National Sloppy Joe Day. :cloud9:

Did a Google search and found a Calendar with all kinds of National Days.

Apparently you can make your own National Day.

Do we need a National TBN Good Morning Day? :drink:

This is what happens when I have 2 Putter Day in a row.

Had to look that one up.

Can't imagine the equivalent Australian delicacy, Sloppy Joey, is too popular with kangaroo lovers :laughing:

Forgot to start coffee brewing again.:ashamed: 18° with some with clear skies this morning. Heading to 54° with sunny skies all day. I got about as much done as I had planned yesterday. Hope to get a little more done today. Then watch some NASCAR. Probably the last 30 laps. Neighbor stopped to visit with their granddaughter. A real cutie. What wife and I noticed was how our dog came to life playing with her. 2 hours of play. Miss that. Now that all our grand kids are in there teens and 20's. Should have taken some pictures.

Bird, lots of names for Crappie's. Other names for crappie are papermouths, strawberry bass, speckled bass or specks (especially in Michigan), speckled perch, crappie bass, calico bass, (throughout the Middle Atlantic states, and New England), sac-a-lait (in southern Louisiana, lit.

David, good looking meal.

Prayers for those in need.

Good Morning All.

And i just call them all fish.

Curious if anyone here is on Dish and has Hopper 3?
Our Hopper/Joey system was installed in 2012. With the new software interface seems slower than molasses - wife not happy at all.
Chat with agent confirmed it was the old hardware. I wasn’t happy with the upgrade price offered, suggested it might be time for me to check out Directv. Supposedly a note added and suggestion I call Loyalty Dept. kinda irks me that my bill has increased $40/mon and all I have to show is old equipment and poorer service.

My dish receiver is older than the hopper, 722 hd recorder.. I own my receiver. They offer to upgrade me to hopper for free, they neglect the part about paying rent on the equipment.
