I think I recognize three Bruins playing tonight.

My nieces husband just quit his job as a cop to be an electrician apprentice with his brother, he figures the pay will be better eventually and it's less dangerous.

My front lawn looked great yesterday.   Last year was a struggle with drought.  Let's see how this year goes.  Missed just about all the rain last night.

You have an awesome spot, nice yard to sit outside and enjoy the view.

Of my 3 apple trees the Empire is poorest at converting blossoms to fruit - was also the last to begin flowering despite being the biggest of the three.  Its (rare) fruit is very good and the one scabby little apple from there was the year's entire 3-tree crop last year.  The Ultramac alternates between good-not-bumper crops and near nothing (last year) and the fruit is excellent.  The Haralred was planted in 1999, a year after the other two, and has been the most severely pruned including removal of one of 2 equal forks about 10 years ago.  I thought sacrificing half the tree was better than a paste-bomb split; April 2020 would've been a candidate, or perhaps the super crop of 2017 would've done it.  The fruit is harder and a bit more tart than the Ultramac and takes a morning or two in the upper 20s to rein in that tartness.  I've occasionally stuck some tree spikes into the ground, but apart from pruning have done no other culturing - no bug/scab/disease treatments.  Most apples have some minor defects but they don't affect the flavor and the worst end up as applesauce or apple butter.

I got two apples last year on my Delicious tree, the deer got both of them so I'm not sure how good they are, I expect more this year and I'll have to beat the deer to them this time.

Novavax is my lifetime home run.   Bought Nov 19 at $5.  Rode it to $330 and got greedy.   Really looking at selling it today at $140. The management is inept. They have a fantastic product.  They will make money in the future and possibly be bought out. 

I've been waiting for to take this vaccine because it's the safest. Unfortunately I'll be forced by work to take something else. 

Greed has killed me a few times, I've learned to sell a portion to lock in profits and let a little ride, learned the hard way.

Sell some and take some profits, maybe hold on to a little in case it flies

Do you sign him long term? Tough call. You don't want another Coyle.

He's said he's wanted be here for awhile and his agent is Bobby Orr, I'd sign him, I think this is the place for him to revive his career, former number one pick and MVP, kids got talent.

Beautiful goal by Taylor Hall, what a pickup he's been.

Yea. Anything above 60 is dank to me. Keep it below that and I’m good. 

60 is the magic number for me too, or I should say my english-scottish wife who hates heat and humidity.

Man, BOS is going to be in for a lot of below average snowfall seasons with a 49.1" average now....get ready for all the news stories about climate change depleting their snowfall (while ignoring that it went up like 8 inches between the 1961-1990 and 1991-2020 norms)

What would it be if you removed 2015 from the average? Would it be much closer to the old average?

This is an awesome story.  It is extremely hard to foster then give them up. We have had now 68 dogs we have fostered some for as little as a week and some as long as a year.  However the joy of knowing they are going to great loving homes is pretty cool. Both our foster pups have been adopted. I fell in love with this guy, you can just tell the temperment even at a very young age. He will be a great pet going to a family in NY. They were at my house yesterday, the connection was instant. Often times the dogs sense they are safe immediately.  Cool stuff

Ginxy, you're a Mensch

Well, I've heard of a few cases where the patient was largely asymptomatic, but there was enough damage in the lungs that they had low very low blood oxygen and the tingling in the extremities that goes with it. I'm not a doctor though, so take with a heap of salt. Best wishes for a speedy recovery at any rate!

Interesting, Ill have my sister ask him, thanks.

Just now, Hoth said:

Low blood ox? Any tingling in the fingers?

Not sure, my sister had been talking to him, I'll have her ask more questions, you have an idea what it may be?

My 28 year old nephew is in the hospital with Covid, his feet are numb, other than numb feet he had no other symptoms, they're testing to see if something else is causing numb feet, I haven't heard that as a side effect but this virus is so weird, who knows.

We’ve always had black labs.  Growing up my family would raise them for Guiding Eyes for the Blind down near NYC.  Foster home a puppy for 18 months, train it basic stuff and then give it back for the real training.  As a kid though giving away dogs after 18 months with a puppy was damn hard, always thought my parents were cruel but they saw it as community service.

We had a couple dogs go on to work as guide dogs and another became an ATF bomb dog. If the dog would fail the guide dog personality test, they’d offer them to other gov’t agencies. It was pretty impressive to see the puppy that couldn’t figure out where to piss go on to learn how to navigate things like rotating doors for their human and guide them through NYC streets.

Our next one though, my wife wants a rescue and I support that.  Just partial to knowing what you get with a lab.

We'll get a rescue too, the one I have is a rescue from Arkansas and may have saved our ass one night so hope shes around for a long time.

Not a huge dog guy but I've never met a bad lab.

They shed like crazy, we ended up taking all carpet out of the house and putting in hardwood and vinyl plank for easier cleanup. She misses the labs so Im pretty sure we'll get one.

Doge Chart Looks like it’s ready to make a decent spike next few hours .  68 cents at the moment 

My bigger question is how many buyers there will be after SNL 

 

 

Might dive, might spike, I don't envy you guys with that decision.

Get outside. Took the dog for a hike up to the near the alpine. Lots of people out and enjoying the day on the mountain.

Down to a foot of snow cover up here.

Love your dog, my next dog is going to be a black lab, had two yellow labs and wife wanted to go in a different direction, now she wants a lab, lol. Love the dog I have, rescue dog, but she's a handful, labs are so easy.

It was a great day to do outside work today, tomorrow looks good too, hate doing stuff around the house on swamp azz days.
