    Went on an Everglades airboat tour a couple years ago. It was awesome. Saw basically what you saw and learned a lot about the Everglades. I’d like to have an airboat but don’t know what I’d do with it.

    Geese getting sucked into jet engines - happens every once in a while where I mostly fly from. I often fly out of Sacramento airport which is in the middle of Northern California and smack dab in the middle of the Pacific flyway. When geese are migrating October through January or so there are lots of them flying over the airport. Never had a goose strike but I’m always looking out the window. Have a neighbor who experienced one a couple years ago. She said she didn’t even know it happened until the captain announced It. Turned the plane around , landed and got them on another plane.
    I have a friend who takes me flying. He has 2 planes one at Sacramento and one at another airport. Luckily every time we’ve flown out of the other airport.

    Regarding the 2nd Covid shot I had people tell me the people who get the moderna vaccine get worse reactions than those who get Pfizer. Don’t know if that’s true.
    We get out second Pfizer shot in 12 days. I guess we’ll see.

    Our weather is pretty nice here in Northern California. Nice enough that I’m grilling a marinated tri tip in a little while and I just opened a very fine bottle of Zinfandel to let it “breathe”. The same friend who takes me flying is on the board of directors of a winery and keeps himself and me well supplied.

    Kind of got carried away with this post. Hope all of you are well and safe and good fortune smiles upon you and the damn weather improves for you all.

    No I didn't Mike, but I wanted to push my wife in and was told we weren't allowed to feed the alligators :laughing:. Although I did keep an eye out for the monster from the Black Lagoono_O

    I mentioned to Deb that we could move down here and I could get an air boat and run tours (so I had excuse to get a new toy) bit she said NO Way. Ears are still ringing from that NO. It was fun.

    Good morning everyone. It's a chilly 4F here this morning and getting colder for another few hours until the sun comes up. Got another 1/2" of snow overnight - should melt except in front of the garage where it doesn't get sun this time of year. No plans for today.

    Stay warm and safe!!

    If the vaccine is two shots, protocol is to keep your second shot in house for you, only releasing it, if you do not show up for your second appointment.

    This worked perfectly for us. :thumbsup:

    Up here since we are so restricted on the amount we get, they released the second dose to
    Distribute to get more people the first shot. So far as I know when the time came for the second
    Dose it was available. Wifey had no issue.

    Good morning all,

    Slept in, the dogs let us because we had visitors late last night - pack of yote's working what I assume was a doe. This morning as I was getting the dogs ready (OK getting my winter clothes on) to go out there was two parades of turkey's the Tom's were first and some were sitting on our split rail fence. While walking the second parade began with the females coming up the road. Went back in and got my camera, by the time I came back out half of them passed.

    Have a great day - be safe - and warm

    Compared to most we had a balmy 30 degrees this morning. Still waiting for the email to go and get our first shot. Read that our county has a shortage of the C19 vaccine. In Maryland you can sign up via a state website when the sign up for your group opens up. Then you receive confirmation from the county that you are in fact registered. Next step is for the county to contact you to set up an appointment for the shot.

    The way government works, I wouldn't rely on that system. Surprisingly, though, during a routine VA appointment, i asked to get on the list. Two days later, I was called to come in for my shot. Very organized, no waiting at all, same thing three weeks later for my second shot. Also not bad for my wife at her clinic, although I had a very long hold on the phone to set it up. Her second shot is next week.

    Good morning

    Wife's home and I must of did good on keeping up with things around the house. I didn’t get the rolled eyes when we walked into the house last night. She had a long day yesterday so I let her sleep in. I enjoy spoiling her....
    Going to burn a good sized brush pile today before we loose the snow. Feel free to bring a couple beers and a chair. We’ll make a bonfire out of it.

    Be good

    After hearing about all these huge (unregulated) power bills hitting Texans, I will never complain about my City supplied and regulated power. Thinking about that, I don't think I've ever complained about our gas - from a real supplier that owns the process parts and services.

    I worked for an outfit building substations for utility companies for awhile. You would not believe the waste of money these companies not only tolerated but encouraged. There are some companies that it seems the more they can pay out, the more they can justify rate increases, the more they can put in their back pocket. Kinda like insurance companies...
