The problem with our forecasts this year is that they have been wrong more often than not. I can't remember the Fairbanks Museum meteorologists missing the target so often as this year! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif Usually they're right on.

After last winter forecasting and the type of winter we had /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif I do like the out come of there forecasting this year. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Rob -- try Cafe du Monde brand out of New Orleans. You can order from their website. This stuff, brewed strong, will knock you out of your socks.

Oh, yes, that stuff is great also, always stop by the "Cafe" when in New Orleans for coffee. I have had all the chain brands like Starbucks and the mail order Gevalia and the exotics and all that and they are great, and 8 o'clock is better than nothing which cannot be said for Maxwell House but for me Community is still the best coffee.

Yeah, but with the drought, if not for last winter's massive snowpack we would have been without water even longer! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif Long range forecasts call for more dry weather this spring and summer. I sure hope they're wrong about that. When my spring goes dry I have to tap into our ponds, and all that algae is tough on the water heater and pipes.

Lets hope we don't have a dry spring and summer for everybody suffers..even nature,and the last thing we would need would be a forest fire. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Well Thomas there is the other side of the coin. Dry spring and summers are when my bees produce the most. Granted, there must be enough for the plants, but too much the bees can't pollenate and gather that golden sweet honey.

Dave,
Even last year the apple corp was down and the acorn wasn't as big.
One got to tip there hat to those fuzzy little guys for what they do.

Our area water table down 11.4 inches and water usage warning are still in affect.
The good side is the frost has only gone down couple inches which will help not to let the water run of when the snow melts..the bad news is all we have 11 inches of snow..thank goodness we got a lot of snow last year.
Ice fishing..one can just about forget that winter sport around here..thats if your brave enough to try it. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

<quote>Talkin' about all-nighters - our physiology professor in med school told us that for all nighters to work you have to replicate the chemicals in your body during the test to be the same as when you were studying. That meant that if you were hopped up on caffeine during the studying, you better be hopped up on caffeine when you took the test. Had something to do with the chemicals affecting how the memories were stored. </quote>

That reminds me of something I haven't thought it in years. An old fella
knew the best fishing spot on the river -- but he couldn't remember where
it was until you gave him a six pack. I've wondered many times whether
he just wanted the beer. Maybe he wasn't lying after all!

Coffee & other beverages

A couple of years ago we got a great deal on some fantastic champagne by the caseload. Bought several cases. It was a hot summer, so we stashed a few bottles in each of our springhouses (under water). For the next couple of years, whenever we finished a particularly arduous task, we'd "head for the springhouse."
