What to do today ? It is supposed to be a nice day according to the forecasters , I should get out and do something . When it dries out some I will spend a day picking up the float some and jet some that the winter winds have blown this way .the mailbox has taken a beating and will need some attention , and a hundred other things to do after the snow is gone .
We are in that awkward season in-between winter and spring the season of mud, everywhere you look is mud. If it isn't mud ,it is a pool of melted snow that is waiting to become mud. Time to think about the garden I suppose.

good morning friends and neighbors I hope everyone survived St. Pat's day without too bad of a hangover. Some folks are overachievers when libations are on the menu . The blizzard kind of threw everyone off their stride .Apparently they are not too organized for bad weather at work . Monday I knew day shift had been canceled , but had no word on second. About the time I start getting ready to go to work , I looked out and could not see the big yellow road sign across the highway . there was almost zero traffic so I decided to call in. I did not want to crash the truck and spend a couple hours stuck someplace with a huge tow truck bill to pay. At first the boss wanted me to at least come in and get the shift started , I respectfully declined , shortly thereafter he let me know that second shift had been called off so it did not matter . Somehow they had a communications breakdown . The info did not get out in a timely fashion.

A week ago it was 70 degrees F here , today we are experiencing a blizzard. Schools all over the area are shut down . Nearly whiteout conditions today. I might have to consider calling in to work. I hate to think what it will be like on the roads at midnight when I'm on my way home after work. They already called day shift off .

Younger sister hooked up with a dude we called "The couch Tumor " He was a lowlife that had never done anything useful in his life (Hint his best job was working at a carnival ). One day he saw me on the Harley and told me how lucky I was . I told him luck had nothing to do with it at all, and I decided I wanted the bike and put in the time , and overtime that I needed to do to make it happen, and if he would get a job and show up every day for ten hours he could have one too I got stinkeye for that. Last I heard he is still riding a davenport .

It was a decent afternoon yesterday so after running to the store and fetching dog ,cat and people food I decided to make supper on the grill . I cooked enough so I will be able to eat grilled stuff for lunch for most of the week . That is good because ham sandwiches get old after a while. By the time everything was done I was getting cold. There was a breeze and high clouds so it was not as nice as it could have been . But a couple quiet hours chilling out by the picnic table listing to some blues music with the dogs is not the worst way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

With the goings on these days one would not be out of line to consider being armed when out and about. An old white guy out walking alone could be looked upon as easy pickings to a small group of wrong thinking individuals . Just being in the wrong place at the wrong time could make you a target . Be aware of your surroundings .Don't go to stupid places with stupid people and do stupid things.
