Good morning!!!!

At least my potatoes are liking the “extra” hour of daylight, they are up!

But I will sacrifice my potatoes to save the world, if we got rid of daylight savings time we could eliminate global warming according to this California source- Stop Daylight Savings and End Global Warming | TreeHugger

33 right now...high in the mid-30's today.
Just plugged the tractor is to clear the drive in an hour or so. Glad I waited as there looks to be a sheen of ice on the snow.
I'm off today to take care of Suzette....she's doing pretty good but still can't use her arms until the breast bone is pretty much healed...

Good morning all. We had high winds all days yesterday, which may have helped in persuading the wet snow not to hang around. All the white had just about disappeared before it turned to freezing overnight and this morning the sunshine has made short work of the frost.

I have been doing more homework on rainwater collection and now have a slightly better understanding of "wet pipe" collectors. They would be a neat solution, however I'm not sure how well water filled PVC gutter down pipes survive in places that get frost. Perhaps "dry pipe" collection will be better for me. All thoughts welcome.

Ron, great to hear your aunt is recovering.

I got that hour back for you and I. A two hour power nap just after noon.

You guys were early...today is National Nap Day.

49 going to 68 and sun...but seems the NWS has been overly optimistic, forecasting a high that has averaged about 5 degrees too much lately.

Roy, real nice Ruger. Will you get a new suppressor for it, or use the one you have?

Eric, hope you get your water collection figured out. I'm just trying to deal with too much water, not trying to collect any, except in my well.

Have a nice 311 Day!

27 and going to a high of 30°F. Wind W 22 gusting to 34 mph.Snowing as I type.

I will go out and scrape the snow we got yesterday and overnight off.

Eric, moving water won't freeze. Your downspouts will not get full to the point of the water not moving.

For 23 years my sump hole line has been going across the top of the ground and even in -40 ° temps it doesn't freeze to the point of water not moving.

I am out this morning to get a bag to hold all the accessories for the chainsaw. 2 chargers, 2 batteries, 1 file and a jug of chain oil.

I priced out 2 Odessey AGM deep cycle batteries for the boat.....$352.06 each plus tax. A lot better price than I was expecting.

Have a good day all

Roy, real nice Ruger. Will you get a new suppressor for it, or use the one you have?

I have two now....both .22LR. I'm considering this one: Mask – DeadAirSilencers, but it's going to have to wait for a while...probably in a few months. It'll be another .22LR can, or maybe a 5.56 can. Haven't made up my mind yet.

warm morning here, 57 out now. Ten day forecast shows mostly dry weather, what a switch.
Headed out now to start planting potatoes, have two rows to do, will try to get one done today and rest tomorrow.

was invited by County Ag Extension agent to be part of new pilot program educating the community about local farming. Likely mostly involves local business people but the description was interesting: once a month, we will travel out to visit local farms, see planting and harvest operations, ride tractors and combines, and talk to the people who make a living on the land. For sure this will be my only opportunity to ride in a combine. And will likely learn about all the chemicals I have no intentions of using.......
