Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! Low of 34 this morning, going up to mid 60's. Didn't get any of that 50% rain chance yesterday, it all went East to Texas and Oklahoma. No predictions for precip for the next 7 days....when will the drought end?

Knee was really stiff this morning after doing errands yesterday. Doing my stretching and ROM exercises, then maybe some time moving about outside.

Ron, congrats on selling the backhoe so easily. Sounds like someone got a great deal.

Randy, hope you feel better, take it easy today. Enjoy the cruising.

Don, I can almost taste and smell the cobbler.... Well I googled your area. For some reason I thought you were around the Sweetwater or Abiline area. I used Giddings as a destination point and it would be about 725 miles each way.... Probably a bit too far, would end up being a 3-4 day adventure. Oh well....

Everyone have a great weekend, hope you all get some spring weather! Prayers sent out.

Good Morning!!!! 54F @ 6:30AM. Sunny. High 79F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.

Awoke to a stereo blasting from the garage a few minutes ago; I think the place is haunted Didn't phase any of the house guests at all; it sounds like a lumber mill out in the great room!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend...

All the Good Morning chicken keepers are really pampering their flocks this year !

That looks really sturdy Kyle, look forward to seeing it all painted. Are you making the pull out litter tray from your stockpile of titanium ?

No. but there was this 48" x 96" sheet of copper that was maybe .031 thick that I had my eye on. But some guys decided to waste it on a microwave experiment.

Kyle...nice chicken coop...I didn't know that chickens drink Bud Light.

The phoebes are nesting under my shelter again...I had to scare them off to get to my splitter. Since it was in the 30s yesterday, I still had the urge to cut firewood...cut a couple of the last dead trees I had found and then split and stacked on a pallet I had just built a frame over.

Shot a field vole with my .22 and took it with a couple of strawberries (in case it is vegan ) to the fox den. The vixen was standing there yipping to get the kits underground.

Have a great day.

They like Bud light with Lime when working up a sweat.

Do you really have strawberries to spare some for fox kits? My family devours strawberries. I believe they could eat about 5 acres worth of production. I want to know the secret to growing those big fat one's that are used for dipping in chocolate.

It was 28* for the low this morning. Had snow showers tell yesterday afternoon, most of it melted. We got about 3 inches. Today is going to be in the high 50's with sunny skies and some wind.

Ended up going to Rock Springs with the neighbor to get stuff for his trailer. We got back just before it quit snowing.

RoyJackson... I have one of the S&W Model 17. I traded one of my brothers a 35 MM Nikon camera for it back in the early 70's. It was about the only pistol I could hit any thing with. It was my go to rabbit gun. One of my grandsons has his eyes on it. He will get it in a few years when he gets older. I seen one in 22 mag I wish I had picked up a few years back.They are nice guns.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.
CWB.

I started to go outside 2 hrs ago, then had to put new batteries in remote temperature sender, then saw a bill was due today and paid online, then paid some others while i was at it, then updated some quicken, then saw i was 5 pages behind reading good morning. Now i look at the time, it's 1115. Holy cow, need to get moving.

Picked up the Mark IV 22/45

It's a bit bigger then I remember, but it feels real good in my hand





I'll get out later today or tomorrow...see how it runs...but as a Ruger, I expect it'll run fine

Looks great. I'd love to have one. I wonder with the small barrel, how it would handle the heat of long continuous plinking.

Got a haircut. Need to go work on coop. Also need to decide what else to plant in the garden....not a big fan of okra.
