Good morning!!!!

[check]

Good morning. Surprised that no one posted about all the tornadoes and what not to the South, and the big snowstorm/ice storm coming up from the states. We are just about to get hit, and L4N will too. Daughter is up for the weekend, and is looking forward to be able to cross country ski again tomorrow. IF we get as much as they are forecasting.

Forgot to mention that Robinsons is opening again in early April – yay! It is the only grocery store nearby, and the next one is 40 minutes away in Huntsville.

DUAL 1264 Turntable

nice turntable

Played many a record on my brother's Dual. I have had a Sony Direct drive that has been flawless and still works, despite my daughter using it as a merry go round as a kid. Yes she broke my Shure V15 Type IV stylus..... They said that Vinyl is now outselling CD format. Never thought that would happen.
My first vinyl album that I purchased: ZZ Top Tres Hombres
My first CD (given as gift with new Pioneer player): The Cars Greatest Hits

A week or more ago, a young man was very fortunate, getting a wheel off the road in front of our land, fast enough to hop the 8' wide ravine that is a tributary that comes from under the road culvert. Then plowed down about 80-100 feet of our fence and then stopping just short of 2 big oak trees. His dad is coming over this afternoon to start reconciling. Kid was in Mercedes SUV, air bags deployed. Was shaken and stirred, but glad he was OK afterall. I'm sure the Mercedes traction control helped him, but I'm guessing it was confused when he jumped the ravine. Made sure to show my kids what can happen if you just barely leave the asphalt.

My son won his 3rd 400meter dash race yesterday by about 10-15 yards ahead of 2nd place. District Qualifying meet is Monday in Lagrange(segue from Tres Hombres above.) His time was about a half second faster than previous personal best. And in the 4 x 400 relay, he was the 2nd runner and the first runner had fallen behind the leader by 10 yards, my son made up the 10 yards and got a 10 yard lead to pass the baton to the 3rd runner. His team got first!

66°F and no rain.

A mixed day yesterday. Mowing complete, some progress with taxes, guys lost at H&F

Another mixed day ahead. Up to my neighbors early to finish his slider install, back on taxes, late afternoon lunch in town as brother in law wants to treat Sophie for Birthday.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Cute puppy Kilroy

 

[sodamo]

Well, we already have puppy stories… the enclosure is worthless. At 13 weeks old he was already trying to mount our other dog. He does not like being in a crate, and is extremely vocal about it, so we took tuns on the couch sleeping with him. He will have to be crated while we are in work, so we will only do 3-4 hours OT today.

”Cute” is a survival trait!

Soooo, already mastered owner manipulation

Cool rainy morning. Breakfast on the mountain today. Was really foggy in the mountains yesterday on our trip home, at times almost 0 visibility.
son arrived safe from TN, but on his way up to Wilmington DE for a wedding this afternoon.

good morning all
72 in Delray Beach FL
woke up at 5am, normal time, and for once went back to sleep for two more hours. Shows how tired I was.

beautiful weather here, too dry for the locals actually, lot of sprinklers running. My friends/hosts have beautiful plantings, bird of paradise and bromelaids with exotic flowers. Nothing I can grow at home for sure.

not sure what we are doing today, working on second cup of coffee.
Plenty of coffee in this house....considering they own a coffee business.
hope to take some pics today.

I think it's call full retirement???
