I lost all the plants in mine to the cold. I have been wanting to build a big one for years, and haven't got started, so the wife bought a little 8X12 one from one of the shed lots last summer. It did alright until we had real high winds with the cold. Next year I will have more heating. And you...

I forget to water my seed trays in the greenhouse. I guess I'll do some at the riverhouse too. I see those, so I should remember them.

Just a reminder. The USSR won the second world war. Nine of every ten German soldiers killed were killed by the Red Army. Everyone in the west lost colonies in Africa and Asia, while the USSR gained all of Eastern Europe. We were cutting it pretty close, waiting as long as we did to invade. A...

The big line of thunderstorms on Saturday night/Sunday morning just barely tail dragged us. We got lots and lots of wind, half an inch of rain, but not really any thunder at all. Well, none while I was awake anyway. The wife said she got a STSW warning on her phone about 0300. It was cold...

Yea, it was clear for me too. There was a small amount of ground fog/mist, but didn't really cause any viewing issues. My regular walk goes across some of my neighbor's land. When I got there folks were camping out, looking at the moon. I just turned around and went another way. No need to...

The Saipan took part in that. But it was just before I came aboard, so I didn't get the medal.

I saw where George Clinton is suing his former partner for the rights to his songs. https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2025/03/12/george-clinton-lawsuit-funkadelic-armen-boladian/82311074007/ He is doing a show in Tally this month with his old band. The pre P Funk guys. I...

Same here. I tried to nap before doing my midnight ramble, but it didn't work out. I'll head out at 0100 Central time. The later I go the more clouds I can expect. But it doesn't start until 0045 and doesn't get full until 0130 in my neck of the woods.

I've finished Skinny legs and all, and I have a car appointment in two weeks, so I have to go upstairs and find a new waiting room read. I'm leaning toward Still life with Woodpecker, but I only have that one in paperback. I do have Jimmy's A salty piece of Land right here at hand. I might chose...

At one point I had the library ladies in two counties searching for LL books for me. I read all that I could find. I bet you would like Max Brand too.

Sal says he gives it a 0.1% chance it was a gray zone operation. Russia is number two in sailors working in EU ports at 10%, behind only Ukraine, which is number one. But if mines keep hitting the Russian ghost fleet, don't be surprised when some wheat shipping gets hit in return. What's going...

He did know it was bad early on, per the Woodward book. He just pretended it wasn't because he was more worried about the politics of it.

Sal from What's going on with Shipping was talking about what led to the US losing all it's shipyards. In 1980 we changed how we gave tax breaks for ship building. Up till then the shipyard and the buyer of the ship split the tax breaks. But we passed a law where the shipyard got all the breaks...

If Canada cuts us off from their sour heavy crude, the cry will be Refine Baby Refine. All our refineries are set up for sour heavy crude, and we pump sweet light. I'm not sure how long it would take to build new refineries, but we might have to learn.

Never mind. I see where the new coach was named a couple days ago. Luke Loucks. He was a great player. I didn't know he was coaching. I wish him luck.

If they decided to, they could take half of Russia with almost no losses in the near future.

Since climate change awareness is my main gig these days, I say that's a good start. In the EU where there are lots of trains, they outlawed any flights less than two hours. Taking a train instead of a plane is putting 90% less carbon into the atmosphere. And the thing is, the train is just...

I'm sure everyone knows that Coach Ham is retiring at the end of the season. Tonight's game against the Orangemen might be the end of the season. Ham got his 200 ACC win with the Noles the other night. Our record isn't good enough to get to the big dance unless we run the table at the ACCCT. I...
