Good morning!!!!

[Bird]

Lots of talk recently about your population density. Well, my little city last showed to have a population of 21,491 in 7.9 sq. miles. So, yep, pretty densely populated and growing so rapidly it's unreal. Big new houses under construction everywhere, huge apartment complexes under construction, and land everywhere being bulldozed. The most recent used to be a big goat farm and a fair sized pond for water, near my home. The pond was popular at times with ducks, but even that pond has been bulldozed and filled in within the last 6 months.

I've told my wife that this area is rapidly becoming unfit for human habitation.

44F clouds here and there light wind eves dripping even found small area of mud today.

Fuel the pickup $61 at $3.46 gallon 5 gallons diesel $4.oo gallon 2- 50lb bags black sunflower seed $23.oo per bag,2-40lb wild bird seed $21.oo per bag...hang on tight folks.

We get aggravated by that, too, Bird. The land along the Mississippi River is some of the most fertile farmland in the world, yet it seems there are entirely too many people chomping at the bit to cover it with concrete and build subdivisions all over it. Then, those same people start complaining about how high food prices are. Gee, can't imagine why.

25° to 65° day here. Probably hit 70° at work.

Took off early since it was nice. Pulled Honda into bay #2 and took awhile to get wires off the coil packs, but eventually pulled a couple plugs and looks at them. Don’t have new ones yet, but swapped a couple positions to see what the reading produces in the future.
Pulled wires off coil packs one at a time to see what they generate as far as cylinder number, but they are ABC across firewall side (passenger to driver side) and DEF on front side, same order. Don’t know if A is cylinder 1. Also only did A, D, E and assuming the rest.
I generated 2 more permanent DTC codes by doing it, don’t know how long it will take to clear those.

Did get grass and gravel cleaned up from my snow pushing mishap. Ground was still frozen with some ice under the pile of grass. I put the grass back like replacing a divot, and ran over it with car tire.

Kitties had fun helping us.

Forgot, my oldest brother fell last night, and was felling numb in his foot this morning so went to ER.. this sent him home with no diagnosis. Then my sister tripped and fell face first today, chipped tooth and cuts.
My older sister was in ER last week while on vacation in FL.

I told them I’m staying home tonight. Might wrap myself in bubble wrap.

parking space finished, truck back in its spot, not without burying it a bit and having to use 4wd to not dig in. Stone needs to settle, ground underneath was wet, they asked me not to drive a lot on it until ground dried out. Sounds like good advice. Then I'll just go back and forth with the truck to pack it down. This was not the deluxe job with a tamper/roller afterwards. And if I owned this place I would have taken that stump out and moved the spot over a little but this is all I'm willing to do.

had a nice chat with my brother, we talked about family reunion in Charleston in May.
4 siblings in one house. Wonder how that will turn out...
thankfully a big house on the beach.

I really want to take the train but am getting pressured to drive my brother's suv to other brother's place in VA, and then go down together.
His Lexus has 1800 miles on it and he wants it driven. I didn't find it much fun to drive, very numb feeling. With all kinds of beepers going off.
Would rather drive my own car but not if dealership can't get that whine out of rear end next week.
My oldest brother drives a lot faster than me and not like I want to ride with him. I'd wind up spending half my time
pressing down on the floorboards of an imaginary brake... gets tiring after a while. And if I'm in a car that's tailgating someone, really uncomfortable.
I'm better off driving. Of course my brother will think exactly the same thing.
Which is why I want to take the train.

take it slow Buckeye. Sorry about your sibling worries.

Nice parking area

popgadget, if medical Mary Jane is available in your state you might want to look into that for the dog. I have heard that it works for epilepsy.

Some people say I am a hermit, others say I am anti-social. I am not neither, but I sure hate stupid people.

4" of snow came on top of the 2" we got after I plowed yesterday, so I will be plowing in the morning. Another 2-4 coming overnight. I sprayed my backblade down with Pam yesterday, the snow should jump right off it.

Regular gas is now $1.689/L or $6.38/US gallon and yet another tax coming up in April. Right now over $1.oo/ litre is tax. diesel is the same price as gas. Is it any wonder I fuel my tractor off the furnace oil tank?

I paid $1.69 per litre today. Price sure has jumped. Some stations are asking $1.73. Not getting it from me.
Mostly, yes it can be dangerous breaking up a fight especially with large roos. They are fearless. I had one attack me once but a good punch fair on his nose stopped him cold. He ran away whimpering like a kid and hid in a bush.
Last week I had an altercation with a tree on my mower. A trip to the Dr today confirmed a broken rib. I wondered why it wasn't getting any better. Told to rest or I would finish up with a collapsed lung. I will do as I'm told as I'm too sore to play up.
