All dealing with nasty storms stay safe and warm.

Enjoy the day all.

There is a pot shop I want to check out up there. [/I]

Bill, just curious, what does an ounce of pot cost in Canada?
It's been about 750-800 from what I hear locally, though, and I've never been in one...
the dispensaries usually sell much smaller quantities.

my biggest interest is in edible CBD. It is often very effective in reducing nerve pain. But regular pot has too much
THC and at times can make arthritis pain worse. Plus it smells horribly.
That skunky smell grosses me out.

When it went from $10 to $15 we thought it was Highway robbery. Of course that was about 1974.

My wife still has and uses proficiently the Pfaff machine with walking foot and free arm that we bought 45 years ago.

Drew, I remember when you started, and the ordeal with your wife. Just wish you could have finished that cross country trip.

Most of my friends are people we met thru worship. We have friends all over the country. So many of them, we knew with young kids, now have grand children or great grandkids.

I truly enjoy GM and TBN. Have only met one person from TBN, “Ed of all trades”, and he’s no longer on.

Randy, I think Michigan is trying to beat your no days above freezing records. Even though weather underground show temperatures above freezing. My weather station does not show any since mid January. Going to be a miracle if any fish in garden pond survive the winter.

Good Morning All.

In 1977 when we had 57 days below freezing the Chesapeake Bay froze completely over north of the Potomac, the news had footage of guys from the ice locked ships playing football on the Bay. Our rivers froze and no barges could get in? They instituted a 5000 shaft horse power rule to come north of the Potomac, in two days they couldn’t make either. We had convoys of oil trucks coming from Norfolk and NJ, the Salisbury city water mains froze in some areas and had to be thawed with welders. You couldn’t hire a welder or plumber for two months. It started Jan 1, after a 60° day, a cold front came through 50 mph winds about 22 pm, by morning it was 0 and dropped to -5 by about 8. I had a Buick Regal with a 455 and it was frozen to the asphalt with water blown in waves up to the middle of the Cragars.

Ron, I gave my wife a decent new sewing machine she loved and a serger she never used. Always wanted to learn
that skill, like Toppop has. We build and fix things in many different materials, sawing, welding, stitching...
I've paid for new canvas on three boats and that sure gave me an appreciation for someone's neat stitches.
Like a nice welding bead...

So I wonder Ron if you will have a use for the machinery or will that go to grandchildren?
I gave mine away, made two ladies very, very happy.
Including a home made walnut bobbin/thread holder I made.
We might want a new Dewalt or Makita but the missus
wants a new electronic sewing machine with 16 different stitches.

Nothing like a serger for a pretty hem.

I have a Pfaff commercial machine that is about that old, big, slow and noisy, but will sew two leather belts together as easily as sewing Damask.

I can see how it would be great fun for a mother or grandmother to make baby clothing for the little ones.
I gave my nieces and nephews little monogrammed jumpers when they were one, with their names on them.
Always thought it would be fun to make them. Wish I had that skill. Arthritis is taking away my ability to do fine work anyway.

bird feeding area full of seed now, and no one out there. Must be a raptor above and little birdies don't want to be
Mama Owl's breakfast. Or a morsel for one of many hawks flying around.
Can you imagine always worrying about getting eaten while you try to enjoy your meal?

Everyone is someone else's breakfast...

I checked the price of 'Girl Scout Cookies', which is a brand of weed...$209.oo/z
What you want is CBD oil in capsules.
The 64 million $ question is, is pot legal in PA?

 

[daugen]

Bill, thank you, no it's not and severe arthritis is not one of the 11 or 13 medical categories for which medical pot is allowed.
But...recreational use just approved in NJ, ten minutes away.
I will try the capsule CBD, conventional docs locally leery of giving advice in an unfriendly legal environment.
Which thankfully is changing slowly.
I am doing everything possible to not use (at all) the many opioids prescribed to me. Docs love writing scrips...
