On the home front,
the best humidity for a house should be between 35% and 45%.
Mine is 49% now, what is yours?

Depends if you like dry itchy skin and cracked lips, or spanked baby's bottom skin right out of the bathtub and no static shocks. I vote 50-55%.

Nice organ you guys have there. It looks on the video like the keys are all new. Our old organ has old looking keys that have to be pushed relatively hard says our resident Ph.D candidate organist.

Who all has had their flu shot this year?
I got mine in early November...so far, so good.

My wife says she is not going to get one.


Buckeye, glad you are feeling better.

On a side note, I heard the tail end of some news report that somebody had figured out maybe a new way to fight cancer. They said the cancer needs to rob the bloodstream for an enzyme or protein that normal cells can produce on their own. And somehow if they can reduce said enzyme to help fight the cancer. I still pray daily for all the people with cancer. And I pray for their medical staff, the doctors, the scientists and researchers to find more cures to fight this ugly disease.

67°F and no rain last 24 hours
Got a call later afternoon my Tundra is finally ready. Will pick up today.
Anybody with a sure fire rodent control solution?

Be safe
Have a great day

I'm having good luck with the green rat pellets from TSC around the walls of the shop and garage.

Then moth balls on the floor by the tires. I hate that smell though.
So far so good.
I have a shop sitting without movement for a month or two at a time. (I work out on the road) two boats, my pickup, and the tractor have all been ok so far.
I read somewhere that the trick of opening the hood helps keep them out was/is a myth.

Opening the hood works for my in-laws who live in the Ozarks. Frequently pack rats will start nest building in less than 24 hours of car being parked. Cars are not parked in a garage and that may affect results.

If you don't have an allergy to the shot, by all means get one! This year's shot is causing mild flu like symptoms in some people, myself included. That's because it triggers your immune system to form antibodies to the flu. In people with weakened immune systems it can cause low grade fever, chills and aches, usually last 12-36 hours. Most people never have them, I did this year and have 2-3 times in 40 years. The shot is from a killed virus and CANNOT give you the flu. If you get a shot and get the flu within 10-12 days, you were already infected. The nasal spray was a weakened live virus and could indeed cause flu, and did far too often, so this year it's not being used. The shot ranges from 40%-70% effective, depending on the actual strains vs predicted strains, mutation's, the person's immune system, etc... it's far better than no protection. And it's cumulative, the more people getting, the higher the overall % of coverage.

Murph prayers for your mom.

Kyle no flue shot. Got one while wife was getting chemo, then 1 year later while she was recovering from chemo. Don't normally get the flu.

Don house humidity rebounding after the cold spell, back up to 38%.

Roy, speedy recovery with your back!

Happy birthday Farmer!
