    'Morning guys. Posting early in the morning kind of sucks.. why? When I post early I don't get to see some of your posts till the next morning, making it seem like I'm some sort of ungrateful. Man, nothing could be further from the truth! Wife has started to build a 'mud room' on the house.. well actually, she designed, and arranged the build by herself.. kind of, with a little advice from the 'people who know'. Concrete footings poured yesterday, frost walls today, moving right along. Me, I'm very proud of her with all her planning and prep. A little truck maintenance this morning and go dump truckin'. Weather is looking OK, that's a plus. Farmers out and about yesterday. Jim, good luck at the Doctor. You all have a great and rewarding day! See Ya

    Greetings and good AM OFs! What a wonderful weather day yesterday here in South N.E. same inshore today (tho a bit hot for me) hitting 82° then back to the 60s tomorrow w/much needed rain. House tidy up today as the girls return tonight, need to do that house plant check...can't have any of them drying up on my watch :eek: . No deer this morning on the dog's run, the bunnies were out in full force! The dogs don't try and catch them, they just want to herd them Ha! Also laughing...just record a photo text from my honey...she's having Huevos Rancheros at the Heathrow Airport...and they look great! Ha!
    Hey Jeff...no worries I think we all do pretty good considering we are scattered about the country, time zones, and life activities! That said you OFs have a very fine day! ENJOY

    'Morning. The wife's mud room project is going great, letting the concrete cure for a couple of days, then some back filling and prep for the concrete floor. During a 'break' my wife talked to the contractor (friend of ours) about a knotty pine ceiling in our family room... I like Earl (contractor), but he and the wife are gonna break the bank, maybe I won't be able to retire in Oct.! It's all good. Temps are low.. 31F here now, like Jim said, "winter won't take the hint!" Other than the low temps, weather is very do-able. The guys were getting our fields prepped for planting, but Mother Nature is going to have to get the soil warmer. Speaking of mother, Mother's Day is approaching. Off to work again... what the heck? You guys have a great and prosperous day, chat with ya soon! See Ya

    Good morning OFs! Honey (and "the girl" made it home last night. Some great photos and "the girls" project went well. She was doing a semester abroad and her project was developing an information App and geo-mapping a forest/recreation area for visitors to the area. This will prep her when she gets to Mars! She is planning to be a NASA Astronaut and going to Mars! I actually think she'll do it! She's home today, back a school tonight then in a week doing an internship w/NASA in Ohio! BZBZBZ!
    Nice day this AM 50's and rain moving in later :yes: we really need it! Well I've got KP duty and better get to it! Here's to a very fine day and be sure to ENJOY

    'Morning guys. Gary, being a pilot is incredible, now being an Astronaut is incredible, but at a whole other level, now stack on the trip to Mars, ya, this is stuff that interesting movies are made of! To see a manned space adventure to Mars would be monumental. I know I'll be watching. On an Earthly note.. had a guy call the company, said 'a rock fell off the truck' and cracked his windshield, he said he saw it fall off the load.. that's wild! The truck was empty, and when on the stretch of road where this happened, the only thing being hauled was 'screened topsoil', like powder. so wonder where the guy got the cracked windshield? Had the same thing happen once when I was hauling sand. If ya want a new windshield from me you'll have to wake-up earlier! Weather lookin' fair, frost warnings in the AM temps in the mid 50's to mid 60's by mid-day, hauling sand today, see how many windshields I can break, you cats have a lovely day. See Ya

    Mornin' Gents! Made it through work yesterday. Ran behind as the schedule was packed. The natives were gettin' restless in the waiting room. Finished seeing patients then started our office surgery at 5:20. Finished about 5:40 ad got home about 6:15. Was a long day for sure. 1/2 day today so gonna hit the gun range for a bit before I head home. S'pose to be mid 70s today. That should be nice shootin' temps! Jeff, watch out for flying sand!....it's hard on windshields! Have a good one and let's be safe out there!

    Greetiings and good morning...rain didn't pack a punch here (thanks you) but still a soft drizzle, looks like Saturday may be the "punch." I wanted too, but didn't cut the grass (about an acre & 1/2) since it's been so dry. Now that there's some water I think I'm gonna be in trouble with its height! LOL
    Yeah Jeff pretty cool and I have no doubt she's gonna do it, very I mean VERY motivated and has been for years! Her mom is not so keen on it, "I don't want my kid on Mars!?!" Me, I hope that I live long enough to see her do it! Now about selling these amps...you guys have a great day and if your windshield gets a crack you now know who to blame! Ha! ENJOY
