Good morning!!!!

[CWB Wyo]

The low this morning was 28*. Today looks to be overcast with a high in the low 60's, with the wind 10-15. They are calling for a little storm tomorrow night. But the weekend in to next week will be mostly in the high 60's and no storms.

Going in to town this morning for the weekly trip. I don't have any plans for the rest of the day.

Hope everyone has a nice day
CWB.

Good morning everyone.

It started snowing ~6:30AM and dropped a quick inch of snow/+2" on the grass. The sun just made a surprise appearance. Tonight may be the last of the snow that I see this Spring.

RNG- I agree that the Federal criminalization of marijuana and still classifying it as a Class 1 controlled substance complicates many of the States' drug and firearm ownership policies. In MA as a MM patient I can legally own a firearm, but as a recreational user I could not. The State has to figure this out. If I had to choose I would give up my firearms and place myself at potential risk when it comes to self and wife's protection w/i my/our home. In 2020 I will know for sure when I have to renew my LTC.

My wife reports the Prednisone is helping her with her pain management. So far the increased energy, talkativeness, and activity is a good thing. She is already starting to taper her dose having experienced living with me and all the Prednisone that I used to take. We will both be trying the CBD oil soon.

I believe that poor woman passenger who was killed was probably dead/dying from blunt force trauma before she was partially sucked out of the aircraft's window.

We saw "Casablanca" on TV last night. That was a great Humphrey Bogart/Ingrid Bergman movie. "Casablanca" trumps "Perry Mason" anytime.

Don- Those berries look good and thanks for the links and recipes. Our property supports wild strawberries, raspberries, and blue berries. Between the wild berries and my domestic blueberries the local wildlife is well fed.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers for all.

Wngsprd- Thanks for sharing the vixen and kit picture.

I don't remember any plastic parts in the fuel system on my '89 R100RT, RNG. I do remember with clarity the admonishment from the dealer to never use ethanol fuels because it degrades the rubber in the lines which gunks up the engine. There was one station in town that sold 109 octane, and man did that bike have some jump with a tank of that.

The bike I mentioned was an '05 R1200GS. Even the fuel tank is plastic. Ethanol in fuel is unavoidable these days, and in my '95 RT, I end up rebuilding carbs and replacing fuel lines every few years as a result. Just part of the ante. If you do a little research, the anti-knock compounds used in fuel have a lower energy content than gasoline. Engines with knock sensors may respond favorably to high octane gas because the knock sensor won't cause the ignition to be retarded to eliminate the knock. I suspect that the "jump" you felt in your RT was more due to the higher cost of the gas than any real performance increase, though.:laughing:

Good morning to all! Yesterday turned out to be the best day of the week weather wise. Today is not too bad this morning, supposed to again get high winds this afternoon prior to a front / low pressure system moving across late tonight and tomorrow. Should be a good chance of t-storms, but some could be severe.....you guys in Texas and east better batten down the hatches for some bad weather.

Got outside yesterday and did some tinkering in the shop. The PT therapist recommended keeping the knee "mobility" by frequent movement and exercises. I hope she realizes that my definition of mobility is probably a lot different than hers! No I'm not going to get crazy and start to do things I shouldn't, but it's good to get out and do some normal stuff.

Drew, been there done that... Water leaks are the worst when they are under the house....nothing is easy then.

LFN, have fun on the hoe...they're a blast to get things done!

Don, Berries look good, one of my favorites there!, I think #2 behind wild blueberries though.

RNG, have fun this weekend, keep everyone in line, and have a good time...need to post some event pics..

Jay, I hope this IS the last snow for you guys up in the NE... You've endured enough of old man winters tricks already.

RIP, hope you can match the wood on the ceiling. Always nice to restore to original craftsmanship.

Ed, hope everything is going well for you and you were able to get your mom's things in order. Hope the family also doing well.

Don, thanks for the recipes and links, wifey is going to try making them. Thanks again

For everyone needing prayers, they're sent... Now off to PT for some exercises......

The moving POD from one of the daughters is being delivered today so we can unload it so they are paying storage fees. We offered storage in shed if daughter helped build it. We were planning on one anyway so will work out well. We have a couple of weeks to get the shed built and the POD unloaded.

Of course I am slammed with meetings today, so may have to let them place it (we painted some lines to guide them, the delivery driver also has instructions) without my expert supervision).

Weather is finally warming, feels good. We all have more energy. Even put up new mailbox yesterday (old one had been there almost 25 years).

Thanks Don sending him your links

Working night shift 6:00PM to 5:00AM earring out

Prayers for those in need

45 going to 62, but freeze warning for tonight.

Took Coco for a hike and swim yesterday at the battlefield park...2 sheriffs there searching for treasure hunters. Then mowed the rest of the grass.

Back to dentist today for follow up...think a root canal is only hours away.

Will change oil and filters on tractor today if feeling up to it and not too windy.

I went to dentist tuesday. He wants to do another crown.

Don, those berries look yummy. Picked mostly wild blackberries and blueberries growing up. Would get enough blueberries to freeze and last the rest of the year.
