What's happening now...

What's happening now...

Called Mom yesterday, Dad was out testing his new eye out after the cataract surgery. They got their new washing machine installed and are using it now.

Monday evening, the rains and winds came in, definitely a few 50 mph gusts rattling the windows in this old house, other than some knocked over snow shovels, no major damage.

I got an ESTES Model Rocket catalog yesterday, I'm a kid in a candy store... We'll launch a bunch of the models we have at the house this spring if we can get a few nice weekends lined up.

It's official, it's SPRING... Well almost Spring, I see we're resetting our clocks we'll spring ahead as Daylight Savings time is Sunday the 13th

 

 

St. Patrick's day on Thursday the 17th, Yum, I can't wait for the Corned Beef and Cabbage!

Tuesday the 8th I went on a walkabout, it was cool and breezy but nice to be out and about. I walked the fields today, the ice, and most of the snow is gone. Down the road to the pond from the deer yard, someone had dug up the yellow-jacket nest from the fall some more.  The pussy willows are starting to bud out, it didn't look like it from the house but, down in the field they were budding up.

Robins, and Red Winged Blackbirds came in today, bunches of each, Rose called me out back to hear the Blackbirds all cackling in the pines between the shop and the house quite a racket.

 

Seed catalogs are still arriving here on an almost daily basis, I'm making a list... We'll have to decide what we're doing soon.

Wednesday we got another 3" of snow today, most of it melted on Thursday, we have another storm Saturday the 12th coming in.

 

Today I went out to feed the deer, the deer yard is completely clear now.  Much easier running out there to feed when you're not contending with ice.  I ALMOST moved the deer yard back out into the field where it normally is... Almost.

It's Moms 85th birthday coming up 4/3/22. 

 

 A Musical Interlude...

"STING Russians"

"Russians" lyrics:

In Europe and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mister Khrushchev said, 'We will bury you'
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It'd be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too

How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly of common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent to put
The words in the mouth of the president
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mister Reagan says 'We will protect you'
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too

 

 

 

 

Political Snark...

A blast from Obama’s first term:

• Energy Secretary Steven Chu: “Somehow, we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.”

That would have been $8-$10/gallon. And now from Obama’s third term (aka, SloJoe): $4.00+ and rising...

Have you filled up your car lately? If you voted for CornPop you are getting what you voted for…good and hard. 

The Morning Briefing: Tone-Deaf Team Biden Responds to High Gas Prices With Electric Car Sales Pitch! 

 

GAS PRICES???

States with the highest gas prices:
California - Democrat
Hawaii - Democrat
Nevada - Democrat
Oregon - Democrat
Washington - Democrat

States with the lowest gas prices:
Arkansas - Republican
Oklahoma - Republican
Mississippi - Republican
Texas - Republican
Missouri - Republican

Remember when we had a President who warned us on becoming dependent on foreign oil?
They laughed at him...
But he was right.

Are You Happy With The Price You Pay at the Pump?
Thank a Democrat! I know that sounds kind of like a partisan shot, but really! Remember the bilge and blather that Nancy Pelosi and her cohorts have been pumping for years? Gasoline was $2.32/ gallon the day before Nancy Pelosi became Speaker of the House. She said that the price of gas was too high, and the Democrats were going to change that!

Biden Announces Ban on Russian Oil, Then Lies and Claims He's Not Stopping U.S. Oil Production (Despite Running on Doing Just That)

At AoSHQ, "Gas prices just hit a record -- before this announcement, though the entire Democrat-Media Complex is now claiming that this announcement has reached back in time and retroactively caused Biden's inflation."

And watch, "BIDEN: 'It’s simply not true that my administration or policies are holding back domestic energy production'."

“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed — if all records told the same tale — then the lie passed into history and became truth.” – George Orwell, 1984

Oh and Just in case the whole Russia deal isn't enough for you...

India says it accidentally fired missile into Pakistan
