Good morning!!!!

41°F and light rain this morning, going up to 61° today. Maybe near 70° tomorrow, then back to the 30s for Friday. Looks like a similar roller coaster for next week as well.

We've had a particularly dry winter here so far. Heard a talking voice on the radio yesterday suggesting that this year we are at around 30% of the moisture we normally get during winter. It's not over yet, of course, but when you're that far behind, catching up usually comes with other bad consequences. We're certainly no strangers to flooding around here. The Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers can be relentless, and this area is at the confluence of all three.

Curious about the online shooting course, wngsprd. Care to share the details?

You generally only have to do that once to learn a better grip, BEF. :laughing: As a revolver guy, I, too, have pinched the web of my thumb under a cocked hammer spur. That's no fun either.

We were doing 2 hand grip, and i got my left hand up too high.
Was a fun course. Got to shoot uzi, ar15, and others.

poses an interesting question of how many acres you need to feed yourself and your family of four.
No supermarkets, no nothing. Frontier style. Grow it or go hungry.

I'd say about ten acres based on today's outputs. But few around here gets those yields Toppop, those are big ag yields.

You need to grow grain for yourself and your livestock, vegetables, fruit
can you do that all on ten acres?

I was just pointing out the advantages of science, vs the cons, nothing more.

40 acres and a mule Drew.

And yo7 can always eat the mule!

I did, he said give me your money and go home. Ed

Happened to me a year ago yesterday, next day I was in the hospital for three days and sick for 5 weeks.

51° sun peeking through, warm for a few, cold for two, then warm for a few.

Back from 2 doctor appointments and trip to pharmacy. Still need to get a X-ray tomorrow morning. But the Dr’s think I am OK. Time for a late afternoon nap.
