Heidi, nice job on both, like the rocks.

Well crap, more tornado warnings coming in the overnight. The forecast now is for possible tornadoes, hurricane force winds with hail and lightning moving through around 0200-0400. Memphis, better get underground. Six tornadoes already reported with this system in Ms.

 

Near miss at 0415, could hear the rumble as it passed. Power's just come back on.

 

Morning all.

Lost internet and phones last night instead of power, so I couldn't read y'all a bedtime story. Couldn't even call any of you. Thunder and lightning at 0300 this morning and 46 degrees, snow and cold tonight. Yay.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Accomplishing the impossible means only the boss will add it to your regular duties.

Coffee's on.

 

Morning. Sounds like the weather is getting crazy.

Trad that must have been a scary wake up call.

Chaikwa, losing internet is pretty hard. Hang in there!

 

Last check in for a while. This is bad, still have tornadoes on the ground to the SE. Three fatalities confirmed in Oak Grove. Search and rescue parties forming at daylight in the smaller communities.

 

Trad, be safe. We'll say a prayer for everybody.

 

Nothing hard about it, just aggravating. If we have power, we don't have phones or internet. If we have both of those, we don't have something else. Just the way it's been the past few months. Never have everything we pay for all at once.

Stay safe Rick.

 

Dang it, stay safe Rick and Scott.

Mornin. Coffee, off to work. I have the distinct pleasure of going to an ASACO class all week.... short answer? I have to watch people pee.

 

COOL! Slip them some methylene blue tablets and THEN watch the fun!

 

Kind of you Rick, thanks. drew it out and cut it in about ten minutes, it was for myself so just for fun. If I had to cut out a square plate, I'd have to jig it fer sure.....and worry.


funny! I prefer Californians....lol! this could be a whole new thread.....

whew, Rick keep yer head down, borrow my helmet?
warm and windy here, bout ready to cut the antenna mast off at the ground.
one bracket 40 feet up is loose (creak groan snap twang ) right above the bedroom window.

...ho hum superbowl. no party this year.

back in the day, we did not like the state investigator sent to do prison testing (political new york city appointment) so we encouraged the attica cook to prepare the field asparagus (grown for dairy cattle nutrients).
after 10 pee tests of 400, he left stating officially we did a fine job and no investigation was further warranted. asparagus in the system gives off odors simular to skunk chemicals,.......

 

I eat a lot of asparagus and new that. Never thought of it as a weapon. I just avoid eating it before certain activities.

 

Asparagus in a pot on the stove gives off odors that aren't so great either! Rates right up there with spinach and eggs.

 

Morning boys and girls, you too Bark.
Fun weather, remember to stay prepared and be aware.
The winds have warmed thing up a little, in the mid teens this morning. Get to go see what the grader did to my driveway last night. Drifting pretty good around canyon. Trying to save on the heating bill so it's 46° in the house.

 

Cabbage.... now thats some nasty stuff



Morning fellow heathens. Crazy weather in cincy again. We had an ice storm on Saturday with over 1/4 inch of ice and a high of 55 on Sunday
