Last cup for the day. It got up to 65 today, a georgeous day. But tomorrow the rain and cold return. My wife and I had a nice afternoon out and had our taxes done. Looks like the crooks inside the beltway are going to give us some of our money back. Mighty nice of them. And a little more than last year. Be still my heart. Stay warm all.

Evening Y'all, I'll bank the fire for the nighthawks. Was a cold rainy day here in the peoples republic of new york. looking forward tosome warmer weather, but it seems the weather liars won't cooperate and give me what I want to hear.

8F here,

[Major 2]

Forecasters talking 80° for Sunday & some rain ... then 75° M&T  they claim 84° for Wed. lows in the 50's.
WE may get another cool snap... But it won't last....

No disposable cash, what with TAX time looming, but going to the Melbourne gun show Saturday anyway.

Did everyone sleep the day away?

Nope, I was up at 7:00 to get ready to babysit my grand daughter, had about 2 inches of snow ontop of a half inch of ice to deal with. I do have to give credit to the state snow plow operators, they did a great job clearing the roads and making them drivable this morning.

[Delmonico]

I was in the basement till I drug myself kicking and screaming up the stairs and made myself go to work. 

[Silver Creek Slim]

Got a dusting earlier tonight. Supposed to start up again later this morning. Could get 4" by Sunday morning.

Watching Mannix on MeTV.

Took a piece of my fancy walnut to work to night to show Steve.  Well he was sick but the sweet, naive young 22 year old was there.  She said Steve was sick and I said oh, I had something to show him.  She asked what it was and I showed here.  She said it was a piece of wood so like any Jurgasphile (lover of walnut wood) does I licked it to wet it to really show the grain.  Anyway she kinda freaked out that I would lick a piece of wood.

Anyway I thought real quick and told her that's why I wasn't allowed in Home Depot any more.

She almost fainted the day I realized I had a sliver and dug out my pocket knife.

In at least 48 states he would have been arrested for the previous post.

Oh my! Go away for a few days and the places goes to pot.

A week ago today i had been in the ER and was waiting to be isolated by hospital.  The Flu virus decided my personal immune system was weak enough to try and finish me off.  I spent the next 4 days locked in a room.  Recognizing care givers by voices only since. Under extreme chance of caution they shielded them selves entering my room. Donning mask and shields plastic covers over clothes and gloves... i have had many of the caregivers this past year at the hospital. Many recognized me from the past years visits.  The Flu virus i understand here has taken up 20% of the hospital resources. 
So on Thursday they sent me home under provision i stay at home  for minumum of 48 hours. Not even a drive thru window contact. (Sure wanted a stop at Dunkin Donut)  It is now Saturday. I am weak, but wanting to get moving again.   

It is Feb the fat rodent seen it't shadow- so six weeks of something will occur.

Coffeee and Tea are up for those ineeeed

[Capt Quirk]

Maybe you could get the Pizza Hit guy to pick up some Donuts on the way? NOT a drive thru Glad to hear you are still amongst the living. My immune system is pretty dodgy too, I think I have like 1-2 white blood cells total. So yeah, definitely take it easy, and pump yourself full of o.j. and vitamins.

Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.

I'll be praying for you, Litl Rooster.

'Tis 18 and sn*wing. "Not as cold. Snow. Additional snow accumulation around 2 inches. Highs in the middle 20s. Southeast wind 5 to 10 mph in the morning becoming light and variable. Chance of snow near 100 percent."

Third cup of folgers gone so I thought I'd say hey.  My wife and I went to our ( 30 miles away) local hospital yesterday to visit a friend recovering from surgery of her badly infected finger. Anyway, at the front desk the security officer asked if we'd had our flu shots. My wife has but I haven't, they gave me a mask to wear. Fine with me, I don't want to catch nothin. Well, I was the only masked man that I saw, considering that, depending on your source, the flu shot is between 17 and 30% effective. Between 17 and 30 folks out of 100 are protected? I'm thinking that EVERYONE should have been masked. And how many football fans who feel a little 'bad'  but bought a 3000.00 ticket for the Super Bowl are going to stay home? Whats 17-30% of 60,000 +? They should call it the Minneapolis Super Petre Dish LII. I wouldn't want to be there.
Hope you're feeling better ther litl rooster.

The number sounds correct-on effectiveness of currrent vaccine, available for the current virus.
