Happy Birthday wishes to your Bride :applause: Bird.
Well, you give a man lemons, he'll make lemonade. Give him potatoes, maybe he'll make vodka.<snip>
We both discussed my plans for the excess crop. Though doubtful our other neighbor will stay sober enough to make this work, my plans are to grow an acre of potatoes, have them coming out my ears, package them in three pound bags, and put up a sign saying FREE POTATOES!, with an arrow pointing to our farmer neighbor's lane. There he will be sitting, with his new folding chair and table I gave him for Christmas, and he can give away potatoes, and sell containers of veggies for two or three bucks a piece. Then he gets to keep half and I get the rest. Well, it's a plan anyway. I'll see what my reality is come April or May. Pretty sure much/most will go to Food Bank which is a prime goal also.
Going to be a new year soon. My goal this year is to manage my sugar intake better, get my lab readings down below 100, and, well,
find a lady who can tolerate me.
Poured first cup of coffee. -1° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 14° with some sun. Not sure what I am going to do today. Couple of lathe projects setting on the bench in shop. Still need to cleanup snow on walkways and drive. New Years Eve is Crab Legs and Shrimp. Then get some sleep. Wake up to see New Year in. Maybe.
Talking about fish, I wonder how my garden pond fish are doing. Pond aeration pump is working but hole in ice has been frozen over for a week. The fish usually make it through the winter. But this is the longest I can remember it being frozen over. Looks like it will stay that way for another week or more.
David, deck looks good.
Got a email from AZ yesterday. George Staerkel died while doing one of the shows at Silver Star Theater. He was a singer with the Tokens. Most will remember him from the song The Lion Sleeps Tonight. We attend shows at the theater many time over the years.
Prayers for a better New Year for all.
Good Morning All.
