Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

Ed, mom has the best seat in the house now, maybe she and Lynn are laughing at our shenanigans. God’s love my friend.

As Ed said, prayers for the sheep, all of us.

Ellen told me I’d better get moving if I want to go to breakfast with her. So down the hall to the guest shower for me. Girl won’t listen to reason! Going to sunrise service in the morning, about 30 miles away, so I’d better use to getting up early. Gotta be there before 6:30.
Have a good day guys.

And Ron, thank you for the tip on the Zuri office chair. After putting on the base backwards(and I was so careful to check...sigh) it sure is an improvement over what I had.
Firm support, feels like durable thick leather.

It was not me that posted about the Zuri office chair. But I can offer some help with assembly in the future. Amazon offers expert assembly for $88.89.

31 going 62, and nice. But then rain for a few days. Just saw our first pine pollen yesterday.

Eric, sorry the rain is so hard on the lambs.

Andrew, hope your ear is better.

Drew, I was up much of the night with a toothache...good news I guess, I finally decided to touch the tooth for some reason, and learned that it is not the molar with the crown, but the one behind it that hurts..just seemed to hurt on the whole lower right side. Might still need a root canal, but won't be so hard drilling as it is through ceramic. My appointment is not until Thursday, but Monday I'll be at her office when they open up.

Put our first hummingbird feeder out yesterday...about a week earlier than we expect them, but the hummingbird migration map shows they are nearby.

Son and his boxer came last night from NC so will probably do a hike today. I learned yesterday that the harder I worked outside, the less I noticed the toothache.

Good evening all. In Kerrville, 47F this morning, clear light wind. Hi temp was 77F, wind nne at 10 increasing slightly and shifting to east, sky remained mostly sunny. Trip to Kerrville was uneventful yesterday. The group intended to start ride at 8 this morning, started closer to 8:30, two flats, but no issues after that. 71 miles and 2850 feet of climb, good tuneup for tomorrows 100 mile route. Talk at dinner tonight may not do full 100 and take a shortcut and have an 80 mile total. More head wind tomorrow will likely have people opting for the shorter route.

prayers for all.

We enjoyed our visits to Kerrville. Lots to do. But riding a bike was never on the list. Way to many hills and switch backs for me. Good luck on your ride today.

22 now going to 36 Snow and rain forecasted. Wind SSW 5 mph. Snow accumulation about an inch. Not enough to bother with.

I got a good chunk of the honey combed snow and ice off the driveway yesterday. Still more to do, but that will wait until after I get back from Markham on Thursday.

wngsprd; if you were to get ALL your teeth out, you wouldn't have the ongoing dentist visits.

Eric; why convert a north American truck to RHD? Just leave it LHD and drive on. A new Raptor would cost me about $80,000.oo + a huge hike in insurance. My 2001 Jeep Wrangler (TJ) costs me about $2,000.oo/year to maintain and it still gets me where I want to go AND the insurance is fairly cheap.

Ed; I am happy to hear the funeral went okay.

toppop; the military should have taught/trained you to get up early. When I was in the air force, I was up at 4 A.M. every day including Sundays. S+S+S+S+S, then polish my boots. QR Air (Queens Regulations and Orders for the Air Force) states that your boots will be black. The decips (like your drill sargent) say the boots will have a mirror like shine.

I am off today to get the materials for the rest of the spring projects, I will order and pay for them and have them delivered.

Happy Saturday all

28F clear sky lower 50's for high.
Looks like March lamb will leave on nice note...was lion most of March for us.

Todays plan...dump run,remove walk way threads maybe little rake action here and there.

Enjoy the day all.

oops, hmmm. ? thanks. Not only is that expensive, but you have some allegedly vetted unknown coming into your home. No.

I almost would have gone that route last night. Feeling some better now...alternating Tylenol (which I have never taken) and ibuprofen. Good luck with your snow.

Is it still the case that Vermont has the least restrictions on gun ownership and carrying?

Not to discuss politics, so don't respond to this...

Step Grandfather had toothaches once in a while. His cure was a mouthful of Crown Royal that he'd hold on the side of the complaining tooth. Never tried it myself, but it seems unlikely it would penetrate far enough into the gums and jaw to help. But after swallowing during repeated attempts you might not care so much.:laughing:

Good Morning!!!! 60F @ 5:30AM. Partly cloudy. High near 75F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.

The ten day forecast is now showing a 50% chance of rain next Friday and Saturday. In other words, a 100% chance that it will either rain or it won't, and that the weather guesser will be correct.:confused2:

The old proverb will be true here: March did come in like a lion, and it sure is leaving like a lamb. Seems like we went from winter to summer in the course of a week. Rain, near freezing temps, and highs in the low 50s last week, and now sunshine and record highs in the high 70s. I'm not complaining about the nice weather now, but if it's already this warm in March, the summer's gonna be a real scorcher.

Glad so many of your mother's friends and family attended the service so that you had a chance to see them all, Ed. I hope you were comforted that they cared enough to come.

Hope you get your tooth taken care of Monday instead of Thursday, Wng. Save you from wasting a lot of Bourbon.

Wish there was some way you could shelter all the lambs, Eric, but that would require a fair sized barn, wouldn't it? And you'd have to find something to do with all that space the rest of the year, causing even more problems, huh?:laughing:

When do the water volleyball games begin again, Don?

A few surprises yesterday as I worked to get the old motorcycle ready for its debut today at a April Fool's party at the previous owner's home. I have two sets of cloisonne badges, both in plastic bags with identical BMW part numbers, but only one set would fit the two threaded holes on the side of the fuel tank. The older pair went on fine, and I had to drill holes for the pair that went on the saddle bags, but I can imagine lots of folks being upset when the current supply is found not to fit their intended purpose. Mounting the tail light on each bag went smoothly, but when I went to attach the bags back on the bike I found that they didn't want to go. Apparently I made insufficient adjustments in the mounts to accommodate the rack I added, which shares four of the mounting bolts. I made the bags fit, but not well, so they're back on the list for more attention next week. This was also the first time I tried to fit the front cover onto the engine, and I had to remove the rear steering damper bolt and bend the horn mount out of the way to get it on. More adjustments needed there as well. But the most unpleasant surprise were the tires on the trailer, which are starting to weather check and have a couple of what look like cuts in the sidewalls. The spare is in pretty good shape so I'm prepared if one of them gives out today, but new trailer tires will also go on the list of things to do. I did not have time to get the points back on and readjusted, but that's probably a good thing as I'd rather not have folks asking for a ride until I've had a chance to get it well sorted. Even then, after all this work and previous bad experiences, the safe answer would be "no" anyway.

Have a great weekend everyone!

$628.20 for a chair? I paid less than that for my couch! And that doesn't even include assembly, which out here costs an additional $100.39. I guess everything is more expensive in Kalifornia, huh Drew?:shocked:

 

[RedNeckGeek]

I get the atmospheric river bit, but Buppies or Jay will have to interpret the rest.:laughing:


US Hazards Outlook
NWS Climate Prediction Center

Heavy rain across portions of California and the Pacific Northwest, Thu-Fri, Apr 5-6.

The presence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation over the Central Pacific amidst a backdrop of the easterly phase of the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation supports enhanced probabilities for atmospheric river activity for the West Coast. Model guidance suggests these risks will be realized, with improved model consistency on an atmospheric river coming ashore over Washington and Oregon on the 5th and then across California the following day. Heavy rains (up to 2 inches in 24 hours) is possible for the West Coast through the Cascades and Sierra Nevadas on the 5th and 6th with this event. Primary concerns with this event are likely associated mudslides and localized flooding, particularly in areas with burn scars from fires over the past several months. While atmospheric rivers typically bring high winds, model guidance suggests limited wind impacts with this event. Lastly, warming climatological temperatures and southerly onshore flow should limit any chances for snowfall outside of the highest peaks in the Cascades and Sierra Nevadas.

Morning all.

51°

I'm guzzling coffee today. Need to open up sinuses, and help the throat.

Son had late softball game last night. We left after 1st inning, 1030pm. He almost hit one over fence his first at bat.

Ed, glad things went well yesterday. My mom passed over a year ago, but she suffered for yrs. It's never easy, take care of yourself.

I recently got a heavy leather office chair for free. Takes up a lot of space compared to my old chair.

True, but at least with Crown Royal, you wouldn't be wasting good Bourbon!:laughing:

Your dentist likely has a off ours # for emergency cases. I had to do that one time back in the 80's. Prayers sent your way. Ed

 

[Ed of all trades]

Good Uh, morning... I mean afternoon. Was up early but to sleepy to post. Going up to 59 today and sunny and then wet maybe for a good while. Need to gas up the truck while I have $1.90 off a gal. Pick up a little food and pick up wife's weight machine that was supposed to be here two weeks ago. Will likely take it easy other than that. Thanks for the prayers and well wishes.

Randy, you are right we are likely dumb sheep.

Prayers for all. Have a great day. Ed
