Good morning!!!!

[riptides]

45 out this AM. It was 70 yesterday. And it was a great day. Today they are calling for snow and rain in my parts. Clouds are overhead and the temps are dropping. Nothing yet. It will be an indoor day I guess after the animals are taken care of.

Enjoy the day all, hope your weather is fair, be safe.

54 going to 64 in light rain this morning. Forecast for this week is challenging. An inch of rain predicted here mid week; that means lots of snow further North usually.
I don't care about snow, it's the 24 degree low on Thursday morning that has me concerned. Not much I can do about it.
Fired up the weedeater yesterday afternoon to cut foot high weeds around the barn, seems silly with snow coming...

Left forearm still very sore and cannot put weight on it, but carefully can use it. Sore spot just below crook of arm, a bit swollen, hope it will just go down.
If I tore something, not sure they can fix it anyway.

I see a number of UPS packages on the porch I missed last night, when I finish my coffee going to investigate. I cancelled a large plant/tree order with Burgess Seeds, due to a very
bad experience with them, and reordered 25 hybrid willows on Amazon. A little more expensive, but order shipped out in two days.
Burgess told me they hadn't even looked at my order in two weeks, so i told them to cancel.
Which they didn't..., and kept sending me packages, the first of which I paid the postage to return to them, thinking fair is fair, I cancelled despite their
problems. When they sent me a bigger package yesterday, which unfortunately I was not here to refuse, it shows how messed up their internal controls are. This one
I told them to send a pickup for or the package would just sit and go nowhere. I have already received a refund on the order through the credit card company; have nothing to lose here.
Perhaps that company has too much business, but what a different experience in dealing with Jackson & Perkins or Burpee. I guess that's why the Burgess plants costs one quarter to one half of the others. Their customer service lady got pretty huffy with me, complaining of my "accusations" of poor service. Accusations? The truth will set you free...
No more discount plant places for me.

45 going to 50 and windy...40% chance of snow today, and bigger chance for Monday. Sweet.

Dump run, gym, more ACC Tournament, and chainsaw work today.

Remember people that work, today is P.O.E.T.S. day
Piss Off Early Tomorrow's Saturday!

Always look for the studies and provide link to the research.
The link you provided did not have a list of the studies.

On mayo clinic website:
Since little is known about the long-term safety of MSM, it's no surprise that the efficacy also is unclear. Some studies have shown slight improvements in arthritis symptoms, but these studies were small and short term, so no definitive conclusions can be made.

Although there is great interest in using MSM to treat a variety of conditions, including arthritis, more research is needed to determine its benefits and risks.

I would be looking for studies like this:
Turmeric Curcumin & Rheumatoid Arthritis | NutritionFacts.org

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane): MedlinePlus Supplements

Here's a link to many studies:

msm methylsulfonylmethane - PubMed - NCBI

Drinking first cup of coffee. 59° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 89° with lots of sun. No plans for today. Other than patio time.
Son and grandson are going to our place to move tree out of drive and check over buildings for any damage in afternoon.
Buppies, hope paver repairs are completed so you can get back to paving.
Good Morning All.

38 this morning and headed to 47 today. They've backed off the snow accumulation forecast for tomorrow. Was 3-5" now less than 1". Oh well wife probably won't see that snow day she wanted.

Think I'll head back to the sawmill today. Hopefully the fuel truck makes it today.

Good Morning! 57F @ 6:00AM. Cloudy skies early, then partly cloudy this afternoon. High 69F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.

Nice flooring, PJ. Izat hickory?

Time for some foam earplugs to help you through the night, Eric? Might help with those less than desireable radio programs, too.:laughing:

Mechanic had all four wheels on the van yesterday, but still no fluid in the brakes so I wonder if he got the correct lines sorted out. I did snag some work cleaning up the intake manifold we'll be using, and I've brought the instrument cluster home for cleaning and repair. It seems someone's previous attempts have broken several plastic bosses into which assembly screws turn, so time to get a fresh batch of epoxy and form new ones.

TGIF gang!

Trying to get some energy worked up to go outside and do chores.

Possible short window of opportunity. Rain coming 40% chance, foggy and everything wet outside right now. I need to weed eat and mow.

Good morning! 64˚ foggy 50% chance of rain today getting up to 81˚.

Kyle thanks for the 44 references in the two links, just glancing through the references there were 3 studies on arthritis of the knees which were positive. The pub med description was accurate the studies did not include a large number of people for a long time. I would not discount the studies as they did. I would conclude that there is some relief in some people and is something to try to see if you get pain relief.
