Good morning!!!!

I go through 300 to 400 lbs a year. Good entertainment for little over $100.

And we get entertained with the pictures, a win win win

Good morning all, 27 and partly sunny - feels warm
Work still has not told me where I am ending up after re-org-seems three choices and none of the execs agree...

David - I hope Sophie keeps healing great and does not need anymore eye work for a few decades. I am sure she is a bit tired of operations.

For me with the dead ashes dropping big branches PPE and lots of wedges and standard cut, but slow.
I like to be many yards away when these fall as they shoot chunks of wood and branches when they hit.

Stay safe and be well.

Neuschwanstein castle and the surrounding countryside.
Driving the backroads and the autobahn made this trip a little more special than my other trips to Germany.
Having my son with us, let us see it a bit from his eyes too.

I pushed my 1 yo son up to that castle in a stroller..

RNG, super you could flip it over and have it work. Time to get a spare.
Neuschwanstein is amazing, my first wife and I saw it in early Spring with snow all around still.
Not that easy to get to and I think millions go every year to see it.

We had an Opel Ascona rental car, way before gps, maps with zillions of funny long names.
And those last minute screeches of Turn Here which prompted even more screeching.
All those mountain roads with no guard rails. Talk about two hands on the wheel.

two tough names to remember. The N castle and Oberammergau. It was an off year for passion play but we were going through Bavaria.
A Bavarian inn with tick tock clocks. coo coo coo coo ding ding ding and variations on the theme

Germans take very good care of their homes, but the Swiss are really ****. And a little aloof. Somewhere I have a picture of myself standing by the lake
in Zug Switzerland next to a very large statue of a swan.

My local county has a 35.7% positivity rate.
Ordered some more KN95 masks, this time in grey. Wanted a different color....

36°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 52° today. Some light rain moving through here this morning, won't last long. It was 58° when I left work yesterday, and had dropped to 48° by the time I got home an hour later. That almost feels like T-shirt weather in January. Almost.

Made lasagna for dinner last night with The Wife. She usually just wants me to make it, but lately has been wanting to do it herself. It was delicious, of course.

Hope Eddie and his wife are doing well.

Good morning to all! Low of 24, going for high of 47. Last couple of days has been real nice.... kinda like a backwards spring..... sunny, comfortable, no wind, just without anything turning green.

Still trying to catch up with you guys. Nobody told me retirement was going to be sooooo hard! It seems that the more I am trying to keep up, the more things there are to do.....

Drew, you definitely have a geen thumb! Pretty amaryllis.

Ken, nice pics from around the world! Thanks for sharing, keep 'em coming!

Kyle, glad to hear your mom is slowly progressing towards getting better. Also good news about the insurance.

Mostly, you mentioned going up on the roof to take down the lights..... now you added another chore to my list. I haven't turned ours on in a week, so I guess it's time to pack them up.

Don, glad Egor didn't get too rambunctious with your workout.... I do not miss those torture sessions.... they do help though.

I guess I'm one of the young pups here....Kyle even beat me ... I'm only
60-3/4.

Grandson will be coming back tomorrow, starts his second college semester on Monday. He can't believe how fast the first went.... I told him wait until you get older..... time speeds up!

Daylight is a wastin'.... I'm gonna get movin'.....
Everyone have a great day!

Way back in '03 I took a motorcycle tour of the Alps, Ken. While we were walking around inside the Neuschwanstein castle, a lady in the parking lot backed into one of the big BMW touring bikes and knocked it over. It got hooked on her bumper, and got dragged a fair distance when she tried to drive away. Of course she denied everything once the cops showed up, but another tourist got it all on video. The fairing on the bike got tweaked, but it was still rideable, so no damage was done to the vacation. We were on the Autobahn for a bit on the way to our motel later that day, and I saw 220 KPH on the speedo trying to keep up with a big Mercedes. That's a trip I'd love to make again, if we ever get back to not wearing masks everywhere.

I've known a couple of people who did motorcycle tours of Germany and Austria, including my high school German teacher. Neither of them seemed to hate it either.

stink bug just walked right across the keyboard. Out the door it goes

Couldn’t you just wipe the keyboard off instead putting it out doors?

 

[ronjhall]

Don, I am not sure. So far his parents are OK.

67°F and .01 inches rain.

Back out in the caretaker unit. I think modifying the base cabinet may be a better approach.
Reusing material can be interesting

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good Morning.
It was 31 when I woke up, now it’s 47, almost feels like spring.

Yesterday kept me pretty busy mostly paperwork. Squeezed a Home Depot run in to get a replacement for my 49 year old Dremel tool. All it really needed was brushes, but they were no longer available. Good excuse to get the Milwaukee M12 cordless version.

Today was more paperwork and fighting with my computer and digital signature issued by the FAA. The certificate didn’t recognize my password. Got it all straightened out in time to grab a quick lunch, put the trash cans out and head off to the airport for todays trip to Grand Rapids.
