lot of nerve endings in your feet Rip, sorry you are getting acquainted with all of them.
Ouch.

Scott, my friends are down at their home in DelRay Beach, also enjoying this warm weather.
actually, it's remarkably warm here today but there is something about putting
on shorts and flip flops...

More Rum! said the Skipper

Good Morning Guys,
Deerfield Beach 74 to start going to 81 partly sunny !

Ron , thanks for the pics !


Wngsprd, thanks ! Well I really don’t have many responsibilities down here, so sending some pictures keeps me a little busy ! 😉

We were able to walk from where we are on A1A, over the inter coastal bridge to a Publix for our groceries! Took an Uber back to our apartment! We are within walking distance to many restaurants and shops, so we are doing this vacation without a car !

We did get a nice moon photo last night before going back !

Happy belated Birthday RS ! 🎊🎂

Have a blessed day !
My best friend got married at a restaurant on deerfield beach that was the last one of the old beach restaurants left. The owner had just sold it to a developer, so it is probably gone too.
Spent a lot of time in the area, fun place. Have a great time and see if you can get one of the small boat trips/taxis back into the restaurants like the cove on the intercoastal.

if you like doing your own firewood, this is worth the time to watch, though I usually fast forward
I learned a few things.
first, by filling a standard pickup truck with split firewood, just chucked in, that's 1/3 cord.
So it takes three pickup loads to make a full cord. New England measurement here, full cords, not face cords.
for at least ten years as a young man I went out into the farm woods each winter and helped my brothers and father cut 7 cord of
wood. All fall down, mostly oak, ash, maple, dogwood
All split by hand with steel wedges. After cutting on an OSHA nightmare buzz saw on the front of the John Deere B.
I find using a modern log splitter a total delight, probably based on swinging that sledge as a kid

one of the key points in this video that for pros the least you touch the wood the better.
Totally the opposite for me. Though my back will no longer allow a lot of stacking. Still love running a splitter,
hearing the crack, smelling the inner wood smell

the smell of freshly split wood is right up there for me with the smell of freshly turned over earth in the field behind the tractor and plow.
One is light and almost perfumey, the other is rich and dark and mushroom smelling
Well, here in PA anyway. Soil was too sandy in NC, didn't smell much.

but I don't think I'll ever enjoy the smell of manure. Yes the smell of money to some

Good morning, all. Wow, what a difference in the weather up here. All that nice fluffy white snow on the trees has now all been rained off. It is right around freezing right now. I will stay the same for most of the day. Big freezing rain warnings this morning, which is not good cause wife and daughter are driving up from the city 150 miles. but it’s just rain down there, which will taper off by the time they leave. I just hope that the roads up here will stay above freezing for their trip as they get closer to here. (wife is actually quite confident driving that distance up here in the winter, ever since she got her new 4runner and we put Michelin X-Ice snow tires on.)

So, have to get the place all cleaned up and tidy. Already got the garbage and the recycling out and off to the transfer station.

Meanwhile, they will be so happy to see Jasper, as they haven’t been up for a couple weeks or so.

Here is already crashing last night as we are about to go to bed.
