Good morning!!!!

Lake Oroville is up almost 170' in the last three months. We've had almost no rain since mid January, but the level continues to rise.

22° now winds NE 5-10 mph, we got about 5” snow last night and this morning ending with some sleet. A few flurries now and later this evening some more sleet and possibly some freezing rain, low around 20° winds W 10-15 mph. I think I’ll just leave everything sit and clean up in the morning. If we do get some freezing rain I’d rather have it on top of some snow base. We shall see how that works out LOL.

PJ, Sorry for the losses in your family prayers sent.

BEF, Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Drew, that looks like a fine spot to relax and enjoy the view .

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone

Yesterday the yard looked like this

Today like this

65 and breezy, going to 83. A predicted record high. I like it cold, but it was nice out feeding the birds this morning without a jacket and gloves.

Sorry so much sadness, PJ. Prayers said.

Kilroy, I'd love to taste that syrup. Nice job. We have a couple of black walnuts, some sugar maples and lots of red maples, but I've never tapped them...didn't think I'd get enough to risk harming them.

LS, glad that wind didn't hit you too badly.

We got about a tenth of an inch of rain yesterday, but dried quickly, so I took the zero turn out for a spin...Mowed a couple of food plots for about an hour...cutting winter-dried stalks of cowpeas and buckwheat so the clover underneath can get more light...it is really starting to green-up.

I am just going to spray some pruning sealer on the holes once the experiment is over in a couple weeks and the trees should be fine.

pick a couple trees at the far end of the property and give it a whirl!

72° and sunny
Still just sitting around coughing, but not as much.
Dads furnace quit working yesterday. Someone came out today to look at it. Dad thinks they need to replace a board, but he doesn’t hear well. So he kept the wood furnace going since it’s going to get colder.
Wife just did Costco and 2 Walmarts run. She got another 5 doz eggs. We finally used the ones I got awhile back.

My yard is popping.

I tried K&N's many years ago and came to the same conclusions as Project Farm did, you might get a bit more HP but the filtration quality sucks.
When I change a filter one of the steps is cleaning the air intake and air box then I'll take a greasy or oily rag and wipe it down. With the K&N the amount of dust that got past it was terrible. I tried them on two different vehicles a few years apart with the same disappointing results.

Yes, same results for me when I tried them, also 2 different vehicles. Won't touch one again. Spend a little more for a good filter like Wix. You'll be able to buy quite a few of the regular filters for the price of just a K&N + the treatment and cleaner.

PJ...Sending strong thoughts prays to you and Mrs.
