Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Goodbye and good ridance to March. Unless the forecasters are fooling we may be enjoying a couple of hours of sunshine this morning. From then on the prediction is for "Heavy rain and breezy". I do enjoy springtime ...

I finally got around yesterday to have a look at the generator I had been given. An Itallian alternator coupled to a Honda GX160, with a nameplate under the cement that confirmed it's rating as 2.2KW when it was put together 20 years ago. The carburettor had no rust in the bowl and after a dismantle and good blast through with cleaner I put it back together, checked the spark plug and put some new fuel in the tank.

By that time it was going dark and my wife was calling me in, so the dilema was - do I pull the starter, or leave it until the next day? A choice of ending the day with expectation, or trying it out and possible disappointment. You have more patience than me if you could have waited. I pulled and fortunately the engine came back to life like most Honda sleeping beauties do.


Wng, so you didn't follow all the alcoholic tooth numbing advice yesterday. At least you won't have a hangover to add to the toothache this morning

I prefer scotch too Bird. A twelve year Glenfiddich for me, diluted with nothing but an about equal measure of good water.

David, does your rainwater go well with whiskey ? Probably at it's best the day before you cleaned the pipes with chlorine .

Happy Easter to everyone.
Beautiful morning here, going to be sunny and 75 here.
Same tomorrow, 80 on Tuesday, the Spring roller coaster

My neighbor's family came over yesterday and their one year old got his first tour of the garden. He's a happy boy, always smiling and "getting into things", as he should. Never having had kids, except inherited through marriage, I truly enjoy little kids. So many learning and teaching opportunities. My friends and I all looked at the pak choy and had no idea if it's ready. Probably not, but I need to look at pics as you are supposed to pick this cabbage while it's very small. Sure looks good, deep green and healthy looking.

Will have a quiet day today, one with some reflection.

Morning all,

 

[ronjhall]

Need to pour second cup of coffee. 28° with some snowflakes and mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 40° with cloudy skies. Thought I would take a few minutes to pick up last of the sod and dirt. But may be cover with snow by the time I get out there. Change of plans for Easter. Son and family was going to come over this morning. But his in laws decided to go visit family in another state. So they are coming around noon. Wife is running around trying to figure out what to cook. My suggestion was order a Pizza with ham on it. Looks like that is what we are having. Plus the extra supply of chocolate for the grand kids.

Happy Easter All.

Jay, congrats on the dog. One of my favorite side dishes is Horseradish Bread and Butter Pickles. :thumbsup:That is only Horseradish in our house.

David, lots of valves. Hope you got them all.

RNG, Beautiful

Bird, I got off the hard stuff years ago. Still have about 40 bottles of my homemade wine. It's now 6 years old. We will open a couple today. Never refuse a bottle of beer.

Roy, see my comment to Jay. :licking:

Prayers for all.

Good Morning All.
