Good morning!!!!

BEF- It's so sad to read.. A couple of the recent fatal fires here were determined to have been caused by overloaded extension cords and/or power bars.

I have a mystery. Yesterday my chipper/shredder was upright resting on cinderblocks. Today it is on its side on the snow. It was windy here yesterday, but not windy enough to blow over a ~800# tractor attachment. I am wondering if the recent rains paired with freezing thawing cause a cinder block to crack and fail? At least the tarps and cover to prevent water entry appear (by binoculars) to still be properly placed. The only way to find out is to go out there. It's a long +100' walk over frozen snowpack. It's stuff like this that makes me stupid..... really stupid.

I came home one day last week to the end fence post, next to the driveway laying on the ground. Looked like someone had hit it. So looked at my security cam of the driveway, and it just fell on its own. It just rotted, and we had a little wind that day.

I put a new post in while the wife was away, she never noticed i fixed it till i told her.

Is the pint available?

My understanding is all Great Buy 1/2 gallons have been stopped. Other brands that Walmart carries are still available. I use 2%. About 1/2 gallon a week.

After 75 years, this story, which was told to me some time ago by a friend who's son knows Tony, is receiving a lot of media coverage today.

On the 22nd February, 1944, a badly damaged B-17 Flying Fortress crashed in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield, killing all 10 of the crew. An 8 year old boy called Tony saw the plane, running on one engine and circling the park that he and his friends were playing in. One of the crew waved at the boys, but only later did Tony realise that they weren't just being friendly, they wanted they boys to move so they could attempt a landing. They didn't move and the place crashed on the hill side. Every since Tony has been tending to the memorial for the men that died.

Today a flypast of British and American planes was organised in memory of the crew and that little boy that never forgot them.

Sheffield flypast pays tribute to US airmen killed in wartime crash | UK news | The Guardian

What a generation of men and women they were!

That is what we get every week, so far so good.

32 right now...high in the mid-30's today.

Suzette is progressing nicely...good news. I'll be glad when she's released!

Glad to hear!

It feels strange this morning to have no sheep to feed or check up on. We are in for a few dry days, so I will be able to enjoy the novelty of driving between fields without constantly opening and closing gates.

Hearing of mail boxes taken out by cars and ploughs makes me appreciate even more our postal delivery service. Where I live there are only 4 houses down a track that is 500 yards from the road, yet the postman happily drives his bright red van down to put the post in a box that is only inches away from our front door.

Anyone seen the BBC "Postman Pat" childrens tv series ? Pat and his cat Jess have adventures that are captivating for young kids.
Postman Pat - Pat's Windy Day - YouTube (this episode definitely not be be used as a chainsaw instructional video )

Sheepless in Shropshire.

Ordered a new mattress from Sam's.
