I got all the trees that fell down over winter shoved into the bush. Now tomorrow is cut 14" deep into the trunks and add Epsom salts that'll help them rot. After the salts are added someone (me) will need to take a p. All over the stumps.

The banker lady asked me if I needed an envelope for the 6 grand I withdrew. Told her no thanks, I have a pocket. I then asked her that if she saw me on the street would she think I had over 6 grand in my pocket. She said no. I didn't go into the bank wearing my Brookes Brothers' suit. Black jeans and a black T-shirt with sneakers and a French block heater. I never look like I have money.

When I was a lot younger, my Grandpa used to get me to walk up to the bank with the receipts from the drug store in a paper bag. He said that no one would suspect a 15 year old to be carrying 10-15 grand in a paper bag.

bef, I abbreviate names all the time too.

Coffee is brewing. 24° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 36° with partly cloudy skies. Got about 6" of snow yesterday. Cleaned up walkway to garage. Decided to not do driveway. But neighbor wanted some seat time. So my drive and rest of the neighborhood got their drives cleared. Got a new robot vacuum. Took a while to get it programed and put in place. Lots of action at bird feeders.
Ducks swimming in pond gave me good thoughts that real spring will be here soon.

after the Russians blew up the Antonov 225, only matter of time before someone built another.
Consortium of wind turbine manufacturers want a huge new plane to deliver their new larger windmill blades, 350 feet long.
folks in Colorado working on this.

this plane won't win any beauty prizes, but I'm sure there's a market for hiring out for other oversize loads
going to take some deep pockets to build it
I thought the promo pic was interesting, they've cropped it so you don't know if there's another pair of engines on it

46 and raining steady. Getting ready to walk down and check the gauge. Going to 58, then "blustery" as the NWS says.

Happy Birthday Sophie! Many more!

Rip, that lawn looks real nice...almost took my mower for a ride yesterday, but found other things to do first...grass will really need it after this rain.

Mostly, termites were only in the first 18 inches up the tree on about half the trunk, hollow inside...I left that section for the foxes and birds to dig into to eat them.

Good morning, the low is 15 going to a high of 28°F. Wind ESE 8 mph. A few flurries.

Ron, do you like to eat duck eggs? They ARE good! Bigger than a chicken egg, so where you would normally have 3 small chicken eggs you would only have 1 duck egg.

Drew, that new heavy looks like a pregnant whale.

wngsprd, the wood peckers will thank you.

Today I get to murder the crowns of the felled trees.

Have a safe day all
