Good morning!!!!

I heard a report yesterday that some captured Russian soldiers said they were told by their leaders that they were "liberating the Ukrainian people from a neo-**** government". What a bunch of bunk!
If that's true, explains why groups of unarmed civilians are stopping some tanks. Confusing to those Russian soldiers expecting to be hailed as "Liberators".....

I hope and pray for a fast end to this conflict.

Sadly, I think the Russian soldiers are just another of Putin’s expendable victims. Maybe the word will pass quickly and they self correct.

I won't be too surprised if Putin's regime doesn't survive this foolishness (on Putin's part). In fact, I won't be surprised if Putin himself doesn't survive...

Wow, those Cali gas prices are crazy! I was able to fill the truck up at Costco for the same $3.11 / gal. The gas station a couple blocks away was at $3.59, and that station is always one of the cheaper ones. I did see $3.65 at one closer to downtown.

!

Costco gas was $3.56 last night. I topped the tank off.

49° and sunny.

Driving into work today on interstate , looked like a piece of cardboard flying thru the air, until I ran over it and it made an aweful noise. Must have been a piece of metal that got flung by a truck ahead of me. Glad it didn’t come they windshield. Got off at next exit, no visible damage, not sure about underneath.

So I came back home, in case a tire develops a slow leak. Then had a dump truck come at me half in my lane, I pulled off side of road, was prepared to drive into a field, but it corrected to his side of road.

Been very busy. Trying to get everything together for financial advisor is a lot of work. You would think fidelity would have a better way to download a pdf, instead of having to print to a pdf. Vanguard was easy. Still got a bunch to collect.
And my quicken was a mess. Several yrs ago I created subcategories under major categories. Never moved the old stuff (1990s) to the new method, as it was too much data. Last night I found quicken has a tool now that makes it easy to bulk recategorize, so I have cleaned up a lot It was making it hard for reports, as I had to include both old and new structures.

Did manage to get a DR appointment scheduled with a new Dr, as my other one left the practice in less than a year.

Bad news Roy and Bird. My EGO lawnmower will not start. There must be a short someplace. I looked at some YouTube videos the one that jumped all the safety switches with a sort jumper wire looked promising but the ones they were working on were newer, so I decided to just get a new mower because I need a new battery anyway.

Kyle If you want an challenging EGO I'll be in Giddings next week and you can have it free with free delivery. I'll throw in an older battery and slow charger and a few other options. But if you fix it in 5 minutes tell me it took you 5 days.

EGO products are warranted for 5 years (3 years for batteries), if registered and are residential use. Assuming you registered and bought the mower from an authorized dealer, EGO should take care of the problem.
So far, other than one battery failure, no problems with any of my gear

It is registered but It’s 7-8 years old.

Your EGO probably needs some gas and a spark.

It got up to 45F today but winter isn't ready to give up yet. It is supposed to get down to 15F tonight.

Well, it's out of warranty so you need to decide if you want to repair or replace...good luck in your decision
