That’s pretty cool with the Comet. I remember Halleys when it came around, that was pretty spectacular. We can’t see the current comet with all the overcast skies and I think we are not in the zone to see it for some reason. It seems we should be but maybe not. Cool but dry so far today word.

Woohoo AC is back. Great to hear from you.

So far, it’s been a big science. On Monday, the area was bombarded by a solar flare that left a portion of the sky neon pink for an hour or so. Then, the past 2 nights the Tsuchinshan Comet and its longtail appeared in the evening sky. It was only visible for about 15 minutes after the sun was down…[Read more]

You too. Almost over the hump for the week word.

Good morning word.

Rain, what’s rain? We have a 34% chance of rain a week from Wednesday. Upside, nothing but sunshine even though the highs will be in the 60’s.

Wifey is doing okay. They couldn’t bust them due to an infection. That’s scheduled 2 weeks out. Until then she has to live with a stent.

Wow, I’m sorry to hear that. What a terrible week. I hope your wife is doing better now. I have a friend that had kindey stones and he was pretty rough for a little while. Watching TV he had to turn it down when commercials came on because the increased volume irritated his stones. Kind of weird. I really hope things get back to normal…[Read more]

Wifey went to stay with the daughter on Monday while the son in law was on a business trip. Monday afternoon she comes down with a bout of kidney stones. She’s got a spongy kidney and this her 5th bout with them. Doc sends her for lab tests and cat scan. Tuesday morning, he gets the results, calls and tells her to get to the emergency room.…[Read more]

Offensive coordinator also. That was a good solution to the floor burn. Lost my voice over the weekend and haven’t been feeling up to par for about a month, a slow burn. Close to pneumonia but not quite there yet thank goodness. I’ve had enough of that word.

Hah, when we had our house with fireplace, an ember popped out and burned the floor. Before wifey got home I went and bought a carpet. Wifey loved it, “I always wanted a carpet in that room.” She never saw it and never asked why I decided to get it. From then on, I closed the screen in front.

Where did Alabama go last weekend ? They weren’t…[Read more]

Yeah, Alabama didn’t look good this time!! Holy smokes!!

The tree had been topped but was still alive. It was gnarly all over. Maple – hardwood. We don’t burn because we have high ceilings and the room never heats up. We even bought a fireplace heater which is a form of grate with tubes and a fan and the heat from the tubes is blown…[Read more]

Was that tree fresh cut or a widow maker? Fresh wood is not easily split. This place has a gas fireplace. I’ve thought about removing the burner. but stories like yours make drop the idea quickly. I prefer wood as it has greater heat output. The one we have is purely aesthetics and sucks more heat out than it creates.

Alabama did look great.…[Read more]

Yeah, Atlanta got hit hard. Asheville NC got hit really hard I hear. Spent last saturday cutting and splitting a tree we felled last week. That wore me out. Hard splitting. I’ve never had such trouble splitting wood. So I rested watching the Alabama Georgia game. Great game especially because Alabama won and are now #1 word.

My buddy outside Atlanta had almost 30″ of rain over 2 days. Fortunately, he’s on high ground. The low ground around him was flooded for 2 more before he could get to a grocery store. Even then, the shelves were sparce. No dairy, deli, seafood or meat since the employees couldn’t get in.

Back home, the grass has already started to green up.

Yeah Helene spreading her joy word.

Finally broke the drought with 2″ of rain over 2 days.

That’s a cool story. Thanks. We are going to see Camelot tonight at the local playhouse. Have a great weekend word!

Journey is one of my favorites but never saw them live. Maybe you bumped into this one. It rolled through while I was on Facebook. This guy is encouraged to try out for americas got talent by students at the grade school where he’s a janitor. He would sing in the halls while working. He sang Don’t Stopp Believing and nailed it. Well, he won…[Read more]

When I was in college, we learned quickly that we could go to a concert, stand outside, and very soon after the band started, a couple would walk out and we would ask for their tickets. They said sure. So we saw Journey that way. There were others we saw that I don’t remember right now. I saw a number of concerts at college, Elton John…[Read more]
