We got about 6 1/2-7 inches  here according to the weather people.  The wife said that’s like my “6 inches” in that it’s more like 4.

 

Low’s in the single digits, highs in the upper teens yesterday and today.  Supposed to get to low 30’s tomorrow, 36 on Thursday, then back to low 20’s for highs.

 

Can’t wait to see my natural gas bill…..

forecasters?, were right. for the past 2 or 3 days its been raining, it is so light of a rain, i take a garbage bag, put it on my rocking chair seat, smoke, and get to drink my drink outside.

60 today, 57 yesterday, 47 the day before. best spring weather i've ever had. plus low or no wind. i need better boots though, KEEN boots are of a lower quality, just to warn you, if you are shopping, i can say the shoes are no different. i miss the old days when stuff was made to fit, and last a while. least there are bread bags for shoe covers and boots.

Interesting enough the rent on my tank came in couple days ago... hair over $100... i called the gas company ( i deal with) to check and what do ya know ? Over $300 !! Bills were sent out, these added (200 +) charges are late fees.(I HAD TAKEN OFF) ..because the bills mailed // carried (not delivered) by the SEVERELY UNDEPENDABLE usps.... in cully tn... report filed with this United States postal service district administration... i know nothing will be done..(sure felt good).. to rid the usps of that worthless tit milking the usps for a pay check, and benefits..... shade im right with ya on feelings about the usps.... the pony express on horse back could do a better job....   to think of how many family members / friends i have or had that were (and still are employed) by the usps ..... i dont like the though of them having there jobs complicated by other workers NOT doing there own work... this image... reminds me... yeah my front hay field doesn't resemble a mailbox... which is where some of mail ends up..... DO YER ! JOB..... also on this route we had one that would help herself to prescription opioid pain meds..(stealing mail)..that belonged to physically ill individuals...... i dont see that as much more then street walking drug headed scum ... ... my advise ? If you have to deal with the usps.... and get late charges from bills not making it in? Use your email...to get first hand notices from inits's vis email... do not depend fully on the usps.... because the creed ? Snow rain sleet ?? Is total BS.

3/4 of inch, sleet-ish, then snow, 24 tonight. three puff night when smoking outside. i need better winter gear. at one time i could hunt and stay warm, to 15 degrees. i cant do that in me old age anymore, i do have memory's of these ky hills, walking up and down, and had to carry a backpack, for when i over heated, and needed space for the warm clothes, then putting them on back slowly as i cooled down. at the Jack Van Berg training facility in Oldham Co. Skylight, we had to take the muck-wagon to empty it. i had to strip to my tee shirt when i got over heated, at 20 degrees, till i got colder, and redressed. the manure piles were steaming form the horse piles of manure. same as hunting when i got older, except for manure piles. with research, i have found my hypothalamus must not work quite correctly. " one of the endocrine glands.

Jack Van Berg, was not his father, as far as training race horses,as if you had seen some of the riders, including me, had not the experience to let horses win races. the 1st three months i rode i got thrown 99 times. i seen some riders jerking the reins, which is not a good ideal. it is abusing the horse. not teaching it. tis said a monkey can sit a horse, i believe so, i dont believe though, can let a horse win a race. that comes from experience. which brings me to the art of letting a horse win. it involves positive reinforcement, something that can be used towards your kids, should you have any. it probably works with all mammals. maybe with even microbes. reward instead of punish. the horses i rode after i learned this lesson, went to many race tracks, made money for their respective owners. i very seldom used a whip on a horse, but hit my boot instead. the noise is enough to motivate, though i have stuck a horse a few times, with the bat, "whip" i only left a welp once, and regretted it afterwords. the horse didnt deserve it. his nickname was Pete., a nickname, as horses are named later, those that are younger.

Pete, could go the way of a turn on the wrong lead and yet still run fast. i tried everything to get him on the right lead. he sold for 17,000, hunter-jumpers, but that was too little for he knew what it was to win the race. i popped him on the butt, once in a workout, for getting away from a horse, that moved over on us by an inexperienced rider, and left a welp. i think i was wrong though, to hit him, even if it did avoid a collision. i never left a welp after that. anyway Pete went around the turn on the wrong lead, and beat all the horses, in the workout on one day, and yelled, nickered, all the way back to the barn. he was proud of himself, and deservedly so, a horse like that, shows promise, which cannot be recognized by many, for is a horse that will try harder to win, and appreciates it more. 

on the side, the horses i rode in florida, i would give them a bit of spainish moss, from the trees, when they did good. i never found out if it was good for them. they liked it though.

Solar eclipses

Been doing some looking ... being noaa aviation did the beta version update >> News and it has become more of a problem to use... or i have noticed its not as good as the older version.. however... I located this side of noaa... Sites if anyone trys the aviation version let me know thoughts on it... the people at I-alert also have mixed feelings about it.

[_Wilson_™ 6,567]

Another good page.... NOAA national weather service alerts

 

67 light wind.... right nice out doors.

[LedFTed 1,127]

the 8th is too far away to predict the weather, for me, the weather changes so much in the Ohio valley. the eclipse is in the 90 % range. of course with doppler radar going, who knows which way storms will go.

My house will be in the shadow tomorrow.  I'm almost in the middle of total coverage,  so it should be dark here for about 4 min plus.

Is your house in the path?

 We’re going to drive about 45 min nw to get into totality.   It’s going from about an hour west of me to an hour north of me, so we’re going to try to catch it in the middle of nowhere, where hopefully we can avoid the crowds.
