Oh, it's Saturday, it's Saturday...
Hey nonnie nonnie and a hot cha-cha!

(Little Rascals, circa 1930)

Here in beautiful Ogden, it is currently snowing and 32 degrees. No real accumulation, the ground being too warm. No plans for today beyond some reading, maybe some tube, and more of this innanet blather.

Gooooood Mornin'!

Morning Rocky,

Working remotely I've started waking at 4:00 and working, not sure why. Today I made it to about 4:40, so I slept in a bit. I'm now on my 3rd cup of coffee.

It snowed a little here in Cache valley last night. We're headed to Wyoming to pick up a pickup. Probably the last truck I'll ever buy.

Good morning Rocky!
I was going through my pictures from our visit to Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, AZ and I had taken a few pics of the planes you used to fly. The O-2 is a dinky little aircraft compared to most military planes. It was great to be able to put a hand on the plane that you detailed in your books.
If I can get my computer and this board to co-operate I will post pics of the planes.
We didn't get a chance to visit the boneyard, we only had half a day to tour the museum.

Oh yeah, the weather here is rainy and 44*F.
It's not going to be a good day to move outdoor stuff to the new place.

Was gonna walk the dogs for a couple of hours first thing but it rained heavily overnight and they’ll track mud in the car. The stray terrier mutt I adopted is working out really well, turns out I can walk him on the trails without a leash because he follows my dog so when I call her back he comes too, even stands or sits next to her when she comes to heel and sits. I have seen this before over the decades with a succession of dogs, most people don’t realize how much dogs learn from each other.

The mutt is heartworm positive tho, gotta run by the feed store vet this morning to ask if oral meds for intestinal worms will kill the heart worms also and thus kill the dog (if you kill all the heart worms right away the dead worms can cause arterial blockage and septic shock).

In the afternoon I gotta take one of my Mexican nephews on my Ex’s side of the family to the range, in this current crisis his Democrat dad asked to borrow a gun so I loaned em something simple and easy to operate, a compact youth model O/U Yildiz 20 gage and a box of steel #2’s I had knocking around.

Gonna bring that and a .22 rifle; after having my N.Y. Army nephew around for three weeks I’m fresh out of handgun ammo. He flew out this morning, yesterday evening I had him take down and clean the handguns we shot so he would know how to do that too.

Good Morning kind folks.[Linked Image]

Sorry, that's all I can do.

Hitting 90 here in SW GA. Dang...no spring....just went straight to summer.

Gonna work in garden this morning, transplant some squash plants.

It's 42° and cloudy here at 10:17am. Took a walk in the woods for about an hour. Fixing on cooking some bacon and eggs now. Then I'll be painting our laundry room. Once that's done I'll be putting down a new floor.

Stopped a while ago, but we got about an inch of snudge.

Snudge (noun): Snow that half melts into a grey mess immediately upon landing.

We have warmed to 37 this morning. Snow falling but not sticking, melting as it lands. Built a fire in the shop wood stove, at seven! Will go and work on a couple of machining projects for my old 52 ford coupe!

No snow here in Yuma.

60 or so early, headed for 90 today. Spent 3 hours with the brush hog in the woods. I saved baby Bugs’ life. I murdered thousands of yellow jackets. Don’t much care for aviators that only have a tail gun.
