Good (Shrove Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.8C and it's presently 33.3C!!! (92F) with higher temps expected mid-arvo. It's clear and fairly calm. Cold front expected tomorrow.

Not much going on for today. Temperatures like this do happen here 3-4 times a year and February is the warmest month.

I might venture out later on and pick up some bacon & pikelets (small pancakes) for tea tonight... or not. :)

That's about it, take care all.

Well, another thing busted..... the Keurig Duo. Brewed a 1/2 pot and gave up the smoke....
The original one lasted 2 months, replaced under warranty. This second one, lasted 7 months.

Apparently, there have been tons of trouble with these not working correctly. Reviews on line show people getting them replaced 3-4 times.
So, I called customer service.... at least they stand behind the product....another new one is on the way. Oh, it also has a year warranty.

Dug out the camp percolator coffee maker from the RV to hold us over until the new one gets here.

Dinner was good --- crock pot pork cushion, new potatoes (vs. old?), and carrots. All swimming in white onion and garlic. The house was smelling good! I'm stuffed!

Have a great evening!

I still have a hard time comprehending 92° in February..... just strange.....we just had snow!

Now, what would be the ticket? --- travel to Australia in December, return to the US is April? Might be a plan......

Another area of protest particularly in Denmark is that the gov has established aggressive goals for carbon emissions and pesticides that will impact the ag business. Farmers are saying it will force them out of business and result in imports from countries not subject to similar laws
No farms no food

31°F and clear skies this morning, got up to 47° today. Wind out of the north made it a little chilly.

Wife finally started back into training this week. Seems everyone decided to forego any dog training until February. She was starting to worry about the lack of business. Now, of course, she's swamped again. So it goes.

Business is slow at my job right now as well. Had to lay off a couple of guys on Friday. They were not the most productive people we had, so it wasn't a hard choice. Still, never liked doing that to someone. The Production Manager at our other Illinois facility had to lay off four people, so I didn't have it as bad as him. Our Mexico facility is downstream from us, so they'll be in the same pickle by the end of the month, too. Hope it doesn't last long.

The pizza - and mozzarella sticks, and toasted ravioli - were from Imo's, Bruce. So yes, it was delicious. Our favorite St Louis style pizza.

Great pics here as usual.

Good evening, gents.
