Good Morning,Coal Crew Critters..!! Depending where You're at,it's going to be anywhere from "Frisky" to "Downright Severe"..!! Plan & Act accordingly. The Ohio Turnpike has already stopped admitting tall, and longer sized rigs as well as Boats,RV's and anything affected by high winds. Gusts of 50 to 60 MPH. are called for here. Do Yourselves a Favor and see what's coming at Ya' before Ya' head out..!!
Now,none of that has anything to do with Breakfast..!! Let's Eat..!! With Spring "Officially Here",Daylight lasting over 12 hours and Snow Threats receding(Not For All),put on a "New Face" and drop in for a Real Country Breakfast,and Some of Da' Best Coffee in the Lower 48..!!

Have a great week-end, everyone.

A couple donuts to go with my Mt Dew will get my muscles twitching.
Keep the wind out there! 40 and decent here today so I think I'll cut up a bunch of large firewood chunks for next year. I still have a 5 foot drift in my windbreak but the fields are mostly melted. I had a 50 degree day this week, first of the year. Spring has sprung, just not real warm. Have a good one!

No winds here, thankfully. Just a dank, drizzly 40 degree day. For once, I did next to nothing today. Watched the movie, "Patton" on TCM tonight. It probably had been 40 or 50 years since I last saw it.

late to the party here’s a pic of the Garand after 8 coats of boiled linseed oil. Truck looks good Don What a windstorm, dead pine tree with blew over into two of my flowering crabapples simply couldn’t fall the other way into the woods. Then I decided to shut the Hitzer down for the season. Cleaned my heat pump condenser, changed the filter and batteries turned on and it’s a no go checked all contacts got in running but low on gas and my buddy who is a tech is out of town needless to say I’m on the two match club now. But as we do here at Freddys you got to roll with flow. At least winter is in the rear view mirror with April a few days off. Hope everyone has a smooth rest of the week!
