hello gentlemen. im laying lacquer on some samples so i have 20 minutes between coats. figured i would see what trouble is started in fte.

i planted spinach, cucumbers, and beets as an experimental late winter basement crop, the sprouts are shooting up very fast. i just put up a grow light in the basement so lets see how long it takes DEA to knock on my door.

Karri is slowly recovering, but it's still a challenge for her to move around. She has her first follow-up doctor appointment tomorrow morning. Hannah is doing okay, she's tentatively scheduled for surgery on March 2nd. Karri and I were talking last weekend about how her speech has gotten worse recently, we haven't had a tough time understanding her until recently. Not sure what that means, but hopefully detethering spinal cord will make that better.

Morning


Another nice day out there.


My son dropped off the compressor and nail gun so I can frame the windows in the living room. I have been putting it off and now got to get it done.


Well not good results in Iowa in my eyes. Just have to wait for New Hampshire.


Tom, you have your hands full there in cold country. Taking care of those ladies.

Good evening everyone.

Finally got a bit more snow this evening. Pretty slick, but it won't amount to more than 3-5" up here. Down in the twin cities they're expecting as much as a foot.

It looks like there was a big animal abuse bust in East Hampton, 32 horses and a bunch of other animals siezed. The dog that was in the pictures posted looked like it might have scored a 0.5 on the BCS. Cases like this deserve a "go straight to jail with no food for a month" sentence, no trial needed.

Morning


Tom has 3 or 4 inches of snow and I am looking out my office window and all I see is brown lawn and mud.


Wanted to wash the 250 today but I guess we are in for some heavy rain. Tomorrow is another day. Not a day to be working outside.


I actually cut all the pieces for the two window frames. So today have to stain them and nail them up. Then shades and curtains and done.
