Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

26 going to 49. Snow and rain missed us, too. None in the forecast until at least Thursday.

Ron, sorry about your friend.

You feeling better today, Thomas?

Cut the 6 fallen pines that fell from the big windstorm a couple of weeks ago. Was able to use the grapple to move the sections that were over my path...dragged some sections out to where the grapple could get them, and hand carried some smaller diameter sections over to add on to a brush pile for wildlife. Finished all that was needed to drive my path, but there are a couple more deeper in the woods that I may take care of today. Did a little target practice on a big rotten stump while I was there.

Need to roast coffee today, too.

Need to roast coffee today, too.

need the wind to change from N/E to N/W so I can smell it...
I love the way the house smells when the coffee is done.

And Billie, the word for the day at home, no stubbed toes...

going to be 51 and sunny this afternoon. After next Tuesday, there are no nights in the thirties at all here, time to plant.

am headed out to the garden when it stops raining with my new soil thermometer. Will compare temps in hills vs ground early morning and late in day.
for 8 bucks can't quite expect it to be wireless and data log on my pc, now that would be cool.

Sorry to hear that, but glad we missed it. I’m sure the Parkway would suit her fine. How far Front Royal are you? It likely will be late April before we get in the region.

The skylive drive is 100 miles from Front Royal to I64 (Waynesboro). Then it becomes the Blue Ridge Parkway below I64, all the way to the Smokey mts.very pretty but slow drive.

26 right now...high about 40.
No plans and after reading about Thomas' adventure, I think I'll stay off the tractor

After next week Ron which will be mild in the east temperatures look to go up and down with stormy conditions. For your area I would not rule out some surprise snow but no guarantees. Still a lot of cold air in Canada which will probably make April cooler in the east

Don, what do you think about the Heartsaver CT scan at Austin Heart hospital for $149.00 Is it even worth someone's time? My doc said he would start with a stress test.

A stress test shows heart disease in it's later stages at 70% blockage or more. I still pass the stress test, had one last summer. If you fail the stress test the cardiologist will be looking to do a procedure on you, stent or bypass if you are having symptoms. It's best to do a test that shows earlier development of heart disease. The Ct scan will show if you have heart disease at an earlier stage about 20%. it shows calcium build-up in the heart. The one thing it does not show is the plaque that has not calcified, but it is still better than a stress test at early detection. The test is worth every penny to your loved ones if you act on a negative results.

This is a slide that was shown at a seminar by a cardiologist on detecting your plaques early comparing the stress test to the cardiac CT.

We ended up with almost 6 inches of heavy wet snow just southwest of us over a foot strange storm. The sun this morning glistening on the trees is beautiful might take ranger for a spin to see what tree damage I have

Prayers for all of those in need

 

[Buppies]

Thomas hope you are feeling better but I'm sure you are sore
