Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

Gasoline has gone up about .50 cents/gallon since Jan 20. No thank you.

More like .30 cents/gallon (USA Average Price) ... and more than half of that rise - around .20 cents - has been since that cold snap:

U.S. oil wells, refineries shut as winter storm hits energy sector

A deep freeze is taking a toll on the energy industry halting oil wells and refineries and forcing restrictions from natural gas and crude pipeline operators.

Of course, it’s up around a dollar a gallon since late April last year.

One of the side consequences of those refinery shutdowns:

Texas freeze led to release of tons of air pollutants as refineries shut

Shutdowns led to the refineries flaring, or burning and releasing gases, to prevent damage to processing units

First cup of coffee is brewing. 33° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 33° with brisk winds. MRI yesterday went well. Just takes too long. Did not get much done. Enjoyed at good ride in Mule. Going to help Sassy celebrate her 2 year Birthday today. New toy and couple of special treats. May do some more photo scanning today.

Kyle, hope family is getting better.

David, good luck with network.

Muhammad, I am liking the upgrades. When I change pages my new post moves with me.

RNG, my welding table is full of tool that never got put away. Need to clean it soon. Have a couple of welding projects.

Drew, always had the tractor emojis when using my iPad and iPhone.

Randy, more and more people are getting their shots. My son got his shot Friday. As a truck driver he is considered essential. He does haul medical supplies.

LS, hope leg is getting better.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Good morning, the temperature is 30°F and going down to 16. Wind W 19 gusting to 29 mph. 60% chance of flurries.

It got real windy and the rain came pounding down, for about an hour yesterday evening.

I've got nothing planned for today, so another energy conservation day.

I think part of the excuse for the rising fuel prices is covid. At least covid is the excuse the powers that be are telling us the sheeple. F@#$ing thieves.


Have a safe day all

Finally found Frenchs Chilio Mix chili was wonderful last night

 

[daugen]

good morning all. 39 out now, still raining lightly, going up to 49 later with rain stopping.

Ron, hope MRI results are good. Happy Birthday to Sassy!

David, that's a LOT of rain. At least you know where it runs off to.

No big plans for today

Good morning, unexpectedly woke up to bright sunshine, although that didn't last long. Within half an hour the forecasters prediction had come true, we are now enveloped in fog. Pleased I don't have to go anywhere today, which is just as well anyway as the road to town is supposed to be closed today for next two weeks. A little inconvenient, although a great opportunity too to have a good go at the hedge that runs along the roadside.

Rich, a creek is crick ? Is that just a local pronunciation, or used everywhere - here a crick is what you get in your neck from a cold draft.

 

[daugen]

Wow what a lot of rain. The South is staying wet and soggy through middle of week, and if the high winds come in tonight, we
are all going to be picking up sticks for days. I'm wondering after the snow melts if any of my daffodils are trying to pop up.
Anyone else have any early Spring flowers yet?

Years ago, I pretty much stopped buying music. Not a fan of rap, nor much of the dance/bee bop/ voice tone adjuster stuff. I guess I'm stuck in the '60's, 70's, 80's, and some 90's music.

Much of the music that I opt to sit down and listen to also comes from the 60's and 70's. Even so I also enjoy being able to pick and choose from something more recent too. Kyle, surely there has to be something from this century that you like ?

If a thumping Burack Yeter remix of Anne-Marie's Ciao Adios is not your thing (it genuinely is in my "Quick Blast" playlist ), how about "Vampire Weekend" playing "Harmony Hall" - I bet your eldest daughter could do a great version of that too.

I find music streaming fantastic for discovering new music which in the days of vinyl and compact discs I would never have come across. For example, my wife was recently watching a Rick Stein food program and within it was a short piece about a harpsichord player. After a bit of searching on Tidal I found Ruth Hall playing a very different arrangement of the Sans Day Carol ( a traditional Cornish variant of "The Holy and the Ivy") that was recorded in 2014 and is like nothing I have heard before.

Temps so warm here, we have the A/C on. I bbq'd about 15 hamburgers yesterday, and also 15 jalapeno poppers. The poppers got wiped out.

Gasoline has gone up about .50 cents/gallon since Jan 20. No thank you.

Sounds like a nice day and would have loved to join you for those poppers. I noticed gas going up, too. Looked at my Costco receipts...fill up in December was $1.85/gal, and last week it was $2.38...up 53 cents.

50 with rain and fog heading to 61, and a promise of sun after 3pm. Yesterday I could see that my rain puddles were so big they had their own puddles.

Roasted coffee yesterday, so probably start on MIL's taxes today.

Buppies, still no vaccine for us either.

Some flowers daffodils been peeking for two weeks now

 

[workinonit]

Good morning. Hopefully no rain today but we do have a chance. I have a lot I need to get done today.

Have those of you that haven't gotten the shot and want it checked with CVS. I know that locally they were having to throw shots away.

 

[Frankenkubota]

just realized if you post multiple pictures, there is an advance arrow so you
can scroll through them, as I asked for last week. Talk about ask and ye shall receive!

yes, new tractor emojis too

just added this pic during edit Buckeye

My younger brother is in the market for a 65-66 small block convertible right now.

Good morning all

35 now and raining, highs in low to mid 40’s today. Winds will pick up later this afternoon to 10-20 mph. All the frozen slush is gone from the driveway. The gravel back driveway is rapidly turning to mud and will stay that way until the frost is out of the ground.

The app changes on my iPhone aren’t much different than before, on my laptop it’s a different story. It gives me a chance to exercise my brain a little.

The wife and my 2nd Moderna shot coming up this Thursday will be glad to get that done.

Nothing much planned for today just putter around.

Stay safe and healthy
Enjoy your day everyone

Happy March 1st

where do I click to go to the last read post in the thread?
I seem to be able to get to the beginning and to the last post, but
not the last one read. I'm sure it's something simple.

Enjoy your special day Ms. Sassy.

My worst weather related landing in 30 some years of flying was in Maui, and where else you goin? I didn't know palm trees could bend 89 degrees and not break! A few days later some jerk drove his SUV into the airport lobby , set the car on fire and jumped back In!

One lady said, if your gonna commit suicide why not just drive over a cliff!

Closed everything for 3-4 days, what a hoot!
