Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Good morning all. For once I am in my wife's good books as, unlike last year, is is now plain to see that the sheep haven't been munching her daffodils.

When the radio came on this morning (it is always her choice of station. Another one of the sacrifices I make for a happy married life ) it was to a better than normal selection of music, including a good blast from the past - Led Zepplin playing Black Dog. Oh yeah. Made me wonder how little Kekoa is getting on ?

Riptides, if you are leaving off tackling the trees inside the silo for a few weeks, you could perhaps for now ring bark their bases and stop the sap rising.

RNG, that battery info website is good. Not many people appreciate that even with deep discharge batteries, you can't take the full 100AH out of an 100AH battery and get a decent battery life. I see lots of campers with compact Honda quiet running (52dB) 1000W generators.

Would have to say he is doing just fine. Has doubled his weight since we got him. Had to upgrade him to a third, larger crate for sleeping/training.
Here he is this morning wrestling with Simba.

47 going to 74. Another nice day.

Changed the tractor oil and filter yesterday. Greased it and the FEL. Ready for springtime seat time.

38F gusty winds mid 30's for high.

Looks like snow storm will stay south of us tomorrow but next week there talk of snow storm...hmmmm.

Enjoy the day all.

good morning all, warmer day, getting up to 73, will spend some time greasing machinery like wingsprd and then
frankly not quite sure, other than some tree watering. Arm is still sore so need to cool it for another day.


very happy to see forecast for sunday changed, now snow is up to 3 to 5 inches, crazy amount for here..., but the low temps are no longer in the low twenties, but 30. Much more survivable
temps for all the new blooms. Though wet snow will knock the flowers off pretty easily.

50 this morning high of 72 later today then cool down until Saturday when it will be down right cold snow chances shrinking for Sunday shifting south. Next weeks storm likely to miss us and visit Thomas.

Working on very long walking paths till paver broke ugh! Cleaned out paver hauled it to Cat. Drive chain broke under warranty but inopertune time for this to happen. Out of service for today

They look like they are having a ball

45 out this AM. Looks to be a blue sky day today. Not sure what to do, maybe take it easy. Highs hit 70 yesterday, today looks to be ditto.

Hope the arm gets better, daugen.

Buppies, shame about the equipment, poor time for a breakdown with this weather. Hope it gets back to you soon.

Hope all have a great day, enjoy it and be safe!

back from supermarket picking up spices needed for my birthday pie. I special ordered sour cherries in water from Oregon, and also
some dried Montmorency cherries. Both will go in a pie I am making on Sunday, apparently during a snow storm it appears.

oh boy, I just got the message that my crazy drunk farmer neighbor wants to borrow my tractor. I guess driving it by his house yesterday to go mow the roadsides (more picking up trash than mowing plus mowing some big weeds) got him thinking that tractor might do.
This should be interesting. Need to look up what the Massey's rear lift capacity is; not sure this guy's ancient disc is too heavy for it. Probably not.

Need to get coffee started. 58° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 85° with lots of sun. Lots of walking yesterday. It was warm enough to sit on patio yesterday evening after dark. First time this year.
Getting emails from Detroit Edison saying that restoring power to our home will be delayed because of the number of outages. Generator must be running because I am not getting phone calls from my monitor system. While typing this got a email saying power is back on. Michigan got high winds yesterday from a storm front that moved threw.
RNG, living on 1 battery will be difficult. Using Led lighting will help. But anything else will eat up a single battery fairly quickly.
Buppies, hope you get paver back quickly.
Good Morning All.
