Good morning!!!!

[KilroyJC]

Good evening all. 50ºF for the start, partly cloudy, and light breeze. Light to moderate wind, partly cloudy sky and high temp was 77ºF. Chapel to start, Hot cereal mix for breakfast then kitchen cleanup. Then motivation fell off. Did get nap in. Seat heater in truck not working, took a peak underneath to see if cable unplugged, no such luck. Failed to get lights done on such a nice day, and that is a strategic error.

Drew Hope your walk was good. Enjoy your warm weather.

may all wishes come true, perfect sentiments to start the day Ron.

good morning all. 38 going up to 56 today in heavy clouds
David, the pup is priceless. I love his choice of sleeping spots, right on your other dog's rear end. Maybe he will learn...

Burpee catalog came in, always good to review.
Big decisions this year, what to grow instead of potatoes.
I'm motivated by Don's strawberries, so i think I may take a third of the raised garden and plant everblooming strawberries.

do deer eat strawberries? wondering if I have to fence that area.

Taken from google;
Strawberries are delicious fruits, so deer, widely known for their vast appetite, would gladly devour any strawberry orchard. They will feed on the fruits, leaves, stems, and everything, leaving a severely damaged plant in their wake.

Good Morning!

God has given us another day to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

NUD Dinner went well, everything came out just about perfect and at the same time!

minor smoke condition when a fragment fell into an element when moving pots around. Actually had to deploy the fiberglass blanket because the fragment kept reigniting until I got a cup of water on it. Not a major hazard situation, more of a worry that the smoke alarm would trip and the alarm company would call - ALWAYS a PITA, especially as food would be getting cold . . .

txdon - you get to stay home, and we start Our seasonal work with the tax prep company. It gets us out of the house during the dreary cold months, the hours are somewhat flexible, it keeps the brain gears free of rust, and we get to turn down the heat and stay warm on someone else’s dime . And, they even pay! And then we are done just in time for the nice weather. It’s a good gig.

our poor dog was beside herself with all the smells of cooking yesterday. Then, when I was carving, I extracted a bone (with plenty of meat on it) from the roast and carried it out on the deck and gave it to her. Doggie Heaven! After about ten minutes, we heard intermittent clunking - she was tossing it in the air, rolling on her back with it, etc. Good doggie. There are two more bones in the fridge for her, once this one is reduced to a nub (should be by the end of the day).

relatively warm and foggy, 39.6F since 3am, so I guess it is only going up from here. We haven’t run the woodstove for three days. Saturday the heat didn’t run until after 6 am, yesterday it first kicked on around 5am, and last night it started at around 1 am and cycled all night, so tonight it will get fired up. AND, Now that we are going to be back to sitting in a cube farm, I fully expect the weather to be gorgeous during the week and absolute crap on the weekends. . .


HAPPY NEW YEAR +1!!!

I hope it is a good one for all Of us.

Deer tend to eat anything that you have the slightest concern about. . . Fence it in.

I think the main things I want to get in this year are onions/garlic, cabbage, potatoes and yams, Malabar Spinach, tomatoes, and ground cherries.

we will see how it works out.

Maserati is coming out with a new EV hyper sports car with crazy hp and a crazy price.
what I thought was interesting was the attention now being paid on the quality of sound artificially being piped
into the car. EV cars can be too quiet, enthusiasts at times want some noise.
I've kidded with my friends for years someone will make a gazillion dollars with an add on that lets your choose which
V8 sound you want. Like flat crank? have at it. Like the Hemi? you bet. BMW straight six wound out to 7000 rpm? you bet.

normally in cars you worry about bringing what is becoming true high end sound into your car, audiophile stuff with super clarity.
This has nothing to do with that.
It's what kind of engine noise you want.
Takes you right back to the beginning going vrooom vrooom. RRRRMMMMM

7.8 inch woofer with frequency response of 65 to 3k hz. Bass, a little mid range.
i think they had better add a midrange or tweeter to get the high pitch of some F-1 engines.
I wonder what an "unpleasant order" is. Some harmonic?
And a "Shepard tone", which I had to look up, is supposed to make the sound edgier, tense
107db is pretty loud too.
As long as it has an off switch, fine.

it's fun to see stuff I literally used to joke about coming true.
we can do this....but world peace is a little tougher I guess.


ok, thanks, my existing electric fence goes back up. I don't share.

41 high of 66 today laid back day yesterday rode around Georgetown yesterday afternoon wife enjoyed that.watched a little football in bed by 10:00 up by 6:00 not too bad

Another day in paradise today not sure what we will do

Prayers for all our Country

48 looking for 66. Foggy again.

Great weather yesterday to walk my son and DIL's dogs while they visited her 90+ YO grandmother in the hospital...fell and had hip surgery. I also roasted them 3 coffees to take home today. Walking their dogs is a challenge...the Brittany wants to stay on turbo booster the entire time while the other dog likes to sniff every inch of the ground in slow-mo. Also got to survey another section of woods for storm damage...looked pretty minimal...nothing more than gloves and a lot of bending over needed.

Thomas and Mostly, glad you got your first naps of the year...I might join the club later today. Been staying up past my bedtime.

Trying to think of the Robert A Heinlein story where the protagonist has a replica Model T, and shuts the speaker off because of conversation, and something something cars no longer pollute something. . . Written 50-60 years ago.
