Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Good morning all. -4C/25F at 8:30 am

I am tempted to take the old Subaru when I go out in a few minutes. It must be feeling neglected as it has not been run for a month or more. With a bit of luck the top layer of mud in the gateways should be firm enough to let me get through ...

How do you prepare your Brussel sprouts?

Boiled/steamed in nothing but plain water until soft.

Best of all is to cook more sprouts and mashed potatoes than needed, then next day fry up what's left and serve with a spoonful of "sweet piccalili" (made with cauliflower, onion, gherkin and tumeric and just enough sugar to make it slightly less sour than sucking on a lemon)

37 outside this AM. Heading to lower 40's. Need to find some more gravel today and fix up the driveway when the sun comes up.
Have a great day all. Be safe.

-12 and going to a high of 14F. Wind NNW 5 mph. Partly cloudy today.
Tonight starts with flurries/snow all the rest of the week.

I've got nothing to do today except conserve energy.

Have A good day all

37 going to 49 and rain comes to visit tonight.

Had a good workout at the gym yesterday...it's a New Year's Day tradition...they give out t-shirts and other stuff...always a crowd with new resolutions on their mind.

Eric, I gave my wife a bottle of Crosse and Blackwell Chow Chow Piccalilli in her stocking...never heard of it before, but thought it sounded interesting when I saw it in the store. We haven't tried it yet.

Haircut today.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 25° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 33° with possibility of evening snow. Yesterday was a good relaxing day. PT this morning. Shop project when I return. Got a older plunge router that needs a edge guide. That should be enough for today.

Brussel sprouts are steamed at our house.

Prayers for all those in need.

Good Morning All.

For those on TBN that have dabbled in a little programming, what is the first computer language you learned ?

It is just over 40 years since I last used the FORTRAN I was taught in the 70's, but all the languages I've seen since rely on much the same concepts.

I cut my eye teeth on Fortran, too, Eric. Had to write a Program to solve a Rungacutta equation for my first graduate controls engineering class. I had no previous experience with either, and if it weren't for a very patient lab partner named Ray, I'd have washed out. But I took to software development like a duck takes to water, and made a career of it.

I share your dislike for labeling anything software related with "app". Sure makes it difficult trying to explain things to someone new to computing, as I was trying to do yesterday.
