Good morning!!!!

Up way to early...but just tossing and turning, so I reckon I'll stay up and, maybe head into work early.

33 right now...high in the upper 40's.

I hit the drive and walk when I got home yesterday...both should be pretty dry by the afternoon.

Boy, that Southwest airliner that lost an engine...that was a tragedy and could have been a much worse tragedy. Engines are designed to contain any fan blades that separate from the ring....looks like this one didn't and a woman died when hit by shrapnel. One of my sister plants (in CT) manufactures those fan blades. Of course, we have no idea what caused the failure, how long the blade was in service or if there had been any repairs (authorized or unauthorized) while it's been in service.

And, Barbara Bush passed away...RIP Mrs. Bush

Jay, I believe it is posted as I was emailed an authorized link by FCC.

Wife’s Dr appt went well, change in meds, different muscle relaxant Baclofen. Dr thinks well of CBD oil, the higher concentration with low THC type. Supportive of her trying it. Doesn’t think too highly of the higher THC varieties as being effective.

37 outside this AM. Waiting for the sun to come up. Half the way done with removing drywall ceiling. No additional surprises on that half. Yippie.
Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

I have a disappointed wife again and for once I'm not the source. She had hoped to be out cutting the lawn yesterday but the rain came further over than the forecast had predicted. It was an even better forecast for today, only the less than 5% chance of rain is at odds with the water running down the windows. Fortunately the new greenhouse has brought a smile to her face with the prospect of sowing seeds whatever is does on the other side of the glass.

I'm itching to get out too and start harrowing. The tanker driver arrived yesterday afternoon and swapped 1000 litres of red diesel in return for a few digits on a credit card. Unfortunately the Iseki will have to stay in the shed for a little longer as I have a customer waiting for me to finish some engineering work for them.

Despite the poor weather many of us seem to be having this year, anticipation is what early spring is all about - the promise of good times just around the corner.

31 with a forecast high of 37F. Wind NW 13 gusting to 23 mph. 40% chance of flurries or rain.

We got about 1/2" of snow last night.

I got my culvert dug out yesterday. It sure is easier with the BH.

Thanks for the reminder Eric. I gotta order oil.

Honest guys, I took some pictures with my phone and lost them. I will take the pics today with the Canon.

Have a good day all

Good morning all, 36 going to 67 and the NWS is calling for patchy frost this morning. Been working at getting the paperwork done for mom, wife about to pull her hair out with people on the phone being rude and not giving the answers she needs and then the next person acting like it answer is no big deal and giving her what we need like who is the beneficiary of her small life insurance policy. Hope things will go smoother now.

Don, thanks for the cook book tip. We have been having a hard time with getting good recipes. Got a few from Station #2 and wife has made up some but most recipies seem to be pretty fancy and we like just plane food. Mcdougall has a lot of spicy tex mex. Will order book today.

Drew nice looking garden, looks like fun/work.

LS still praying for your knee.

Praying for all in need, wives too. Ed

RIP Mrs. Bush. A really class act.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 30° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 48° with PM rain showers. Never made it out to barn yesterday. Going to get started on mower today.

Roy, the company I worked for made the balancing machines for those fan blade assemblies. Interesting machine to work on. All the blades were weighed. Then computer figured where each blade went in the assembly. There was always some final balance required on the assembled fan. Another machine did that balancing. When the fan was assembled on main shaft dynamic balancing was used to balance end to end. The one I visited was in Windsor Locks, CT.

RIP, Barbra Bush.

Prayers for those in need.

Good Morning All.

Thanks for the reminder Eric. I gotta order oil.

now this may be a seriously dumb question but can you legally order CBD oil on the internet? Need a scrip?
As I sit here with my hands and finger knuckles aching so badly I can hardly bend one finger. Is it ingested? Topical?
Maybe I need to drive to Massachusetts....
Not living in shall we say an enlightened state what are my legal options?

Perhaps Mr Bezos can send me some with Prime shipping!
