    Good Plan! It's 15f out and very still. I have been saving the burn pile for cold work days so it is time to find a match. Or a 500,000 btu propane torch. I could start a fire in the rain with that thing.

    driving? We had some ice this morning and all schools are closed! Ever seen the Alabama sled? It's a toilet seat lid turned upside down so you have a ring to hold onto. All you need is a dog on a leash baby!

    Yep. James Spann was tracking a tornado. A snow tornado would be crazy. The Alabama answer to the Yeti. I appear to be in some weather island of normal after the storms moved east.

    My pooches occasionally veer left into my shop when it's bad out. I have learned to put down pads. These stinkers have short hair and no underlayer so they cannot stand a cold rain. Not spoiled at all either.🤣

    All good. For us 30f and rain starts a freak show because it is so rare and we do not know how to drive. The cities might come up with a road grader but certainly no snowplow. They can spread sand but I suspect golf course equipment gets borrowed too. We just take a snow day off. It's nothing...

    Funny Business

    You remind me of my youth before the large corporate chicken farms came to Alabama and took the business North. Near my mater familial property was egg laying operations that had wiggling soup. Glad they left, the summer smell was Gawdawful. I will never forget the spillover ponds that had...

    The tale of Carrots and Peppers

    I love background stories. I find anchorage in old stories. I was once again hunting my dinner and I asked my phone what I might consider with the red and yellow peppers and carrots I found in the downstairs fridge. But I have learned to circle the answers, just because I do not need yet another...

    How to think about Fertilizer 2026

    Most plant “nutrient problems” are not shortages. They’re access problems. I used an ai to format this up because typing. Plants are built mostly from carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen (from air and water). Mineral nutrients matter, but they only work after the soil allows roots to breathe, drink...
