Morning all;
Yes, it seems like spring is jumping in with both feet this year, everything coming at once.
Had the first humming birds last week and the first indigo bunting a couple of days ago;

Beautiful, thanks for sharing Lou!
Kyle, would you enjoy driving one of those, or would the sound of an engine that inherently knocks drive you crazy ?
I suppose you soon get used to things behaving differently if you can see the benefits. I didn't like CVT transmissions at first, yet after a short while I happily accepted their slightly strange ways in return for the improved fuel economy and now quite enjoy the challenge of trying to drive them without the rev counter suddenly having a random hissy fit from a slightly heavy right foot.
Don't know, but the way they quieted the late model 3/4 and 1 ton diesel engines over here was with precise fuel timing.
This years potato crop. This plus 5 gallons I gave away. Planted 10 lbs.

Bounty!
Re the volcano pics. We did go up there, a friend who lives in town did, so, no, not our dog.
I believe they were OK for air quality due to wind direction and being familiar with the area 8 suspect wind was blowing away from them.
We had a very faint odor this morning, not strong, didn稚 last long.
Should the wind change to affect us, we would have to be mindful of ash. Surely don稚 want that fouling our water supply. Basically we would block inlet to tanks and open the first flush and hope for significant rain. With 16k gallons in the tanks wē could go some Time without concern.
David, I'd be so scared, it would probably straighten out my slice...Take heed, err to caution.
They were starting to need water every day and the gophers started to nibble on them so it was time to harvest. Record hot day since 1925. 97˚.
Whipper gets extra treats tonight, she saved my wife from stepping on a copperhead which was right in the middle of the compass rose. it was dark and Whipper watching my wife walk toward her and all the sudden Whipper ran around and infront of her and herded the copperhead away from her. Good dog!
Good dog Whipper!
rs, the 3 fish are in a 55-60 gallon oceanic.. I figure he/she is just getting mean in their old age.

If I had a fish tank like Ben, my last name would be Poor.
Thank you Jay.
Drew, hope you get some help to pick all that food.
Bups, I hope all goes well.
Cajun, that's why I won't sell my '86 XT 600 Yamaha...at least not until I have a newish bike in it's place....and then I might just keep it considering the memories it gave me....Mexico, continental divide in Colorado, Coleto Creek southwest of Victoria, the list goes on and on.
Good night gentlemen. Prayers.
