Redneckgeek, a guy on the Good Morning thread on TractorbyNet that lives near there. He was giving reports a couple times a day. But I haven't been by there to say hello for a few days, so my updates would be several days old.

You know, from a water management point of view, it worked exactly like it was supposed to. They just needed to finish the spillways. Now they have the world breathing down their neck as incentive to get it done right!

I concur. I've been keeping up with events there and with crumbling infrastructure stories nationwide for years. We are too concerned with taking from the public trough to give to business and not concerned enough with being sure business gives back to benefit the public.
Yet another symptom of an increasingly aristocratic/oligarchy class system emerging in control of an increasingly fascist state when directed at the rest of us.
Gotta pay for all those MRAPs and bomb robots, don't have money left over for feeding the poor or servicing infrastructure. This is a self defeating system, but history has taught us that cycle of destruction is brutal. Best not we allow ourselves to fall into that trap, again.

Aw come on the rich need a big ass tax cut then every thing will be great. We got use to everything just being there, the roads the sidewalks the dams etc but we don't want to pay to preserve them because taxes are bad and so it goes.

Good morning. We had another cool night last night. There was a pretty good frost on the cars this morning. {yesterday morning too} When I left for work at 0645, the car thermometer said it was 36F. Hope the Spring crop come through alright.
At 0940 it is sunny, 56F with 36% humidity. Forecast high is 69F with no chance of rain today, and a low of 46F tonight. Highs back in the 70's for the rest of my 10 day forecast and lows in the 40's and 50's with the exception of one day in the 60's.

60s, windy, gorgeous day in northern Colorado today! I took my dog into the mountains for a bit of a hike and to watch the ice melt on the river.
My poor dog is really hurting; bone spurs in his shoulder are obviously painful and keeping him from going very far anymore.

My Chocolate Lab's hips bothered her for the last year or so. She died a couple weeks ago. She was a stray, so don't know how old she was, but we had her 8-9 years. She must have been a couple three years old when we got her, because it only took about four years for her to stop chewing on everything.

We have had a warmer day today. At 1420 it's partly cloudy, 72F with 45% humidity. We have a forecast high of 72F with no chance of rain today, and a low of 56F tonight. My 10 day is about evenly split between 70's and 80's for highs, and 50's and 60's for lows.
The wife and I got in a good walk behind the house this morning before I had to come in to work. 40 minutes for her, an hour for me, sporting a 20 pound pack.

I've had Harley since he fit in my hand; he runs HOME, instead of away. If surgery helped I'd do it, but they say it wouldn't.
I give him a lil bean of cannabutter in his dinner, I think it helps.
We went to the mountains yesterday and he was hitting so much after climbing around on the rocks that I had to carry him back to the car.

I know how it is. I had to carry Mocha a time or two her last few days. I'm sure the cannabutter helps.I've had Harley since he fit in my hand; he runs HOME, instead of away. If surgery helped I'd do it, but they say it wouldn't.

It's been a warm day here. At 1640 it's sunny, 73F with 48% humidity. Our high was 75F earlier, and tonight's forecast calls for a low of 56F with 10% chance of rain. We got in a good bit of walking this morning, and a little after lunch too. The wife is fitbit crazy lately, so I go anytime she wants. I did take the food out of my pack, so it was under 20 pounds.
