Oh lets see, it's been a minute or 12 since I have been in. Thats ok, sometimes it happens.  I just forgot and forgot my key and where I had it written down.  Thank you Taxed for the help.
Mostly I have been focused with work, it pretty much needed me. Nuff said there. Anyone who knows self employ fun knows what its like.  I built 3 new small beds for the gardens this year, been helping neighbors that aren't able to do yard work reclaim their yards.   Still hit the gym, does a frame of mind good I must say.  We did go to the usual races and have decided we need a 5th wheel camper now.  Being as picky as we arethats going to take a while to find.
The river has been the usual place to find us on the weekends.  This years parties took on a whole new twist.  One of our river families really had a rough way to go, husband got cancer, wifewas pregnant with their first, so we were involved with fund raisers of our own and other ones. They are doing ok now,his health has gone into remission,and with cancer thats always a wonderful thing.  Just when I thought back to normal,  another family there had a total destruction fire. Well, I put the word out, took over Christmas in july and everyone came together.  We did alot of good, the family was able to move into their new place last week. 
My gardens took a nose dive because of whacked out weather,  newest granddaughter is walking, mil is sinking more into Alzheimer's.  Wont be long til i am watching for her to take a walk. Kids, grandkids great grandkids are all well. 
Hunting is in 2 weeks, cabin is winter ready all docks boats and campers are pulled.  Eyes is good.
See just been doing the elfin whoosh,lol.
And with that, I must get some scullery maid stuff done and transplant some veggies..
Ha!

May you-and-yours fare well this Winter. 

I learned today that the shape of the 'modern' bird-egg has been unchanged for 65-million years, when some polar event prompted birds to begin sitting on them to keep them warm.

Now that I did not know. Speaking of polar events, have you wondered why weather people use the word polar to describe usual non below freezing temps.   I dont understand why 32 is now polar....

More words more money.      They don't like saying G/cooling.

Hmm... probably, partly an American apologist's way of not offending audience-members who're used to applying Anders Celsius' temperature-scale, in which Dan Fahrenheit's 32 equals 0.  -Where the 'pole' switches.

I'm being cynical.  Yet, everybody on the planet uses the celsius-scale (centigrade) except the US, basically.

Anders; a Swedish astronomer, and Fahrenheit; a German physicist... their careers overlapped, with a mild amount of political persnicketiness swirling around both 'schools', as they pursued to identify the boiling-point of water.

Ironically, 0c was Celsius' original temperature for when water boils, and 100c equaled 32f.  When he died, his 'school' reversed it to what it is today.

Fahrenheit went with the 360-degree circle concept.  So 32f is 180-degrees from the boiling-point of 212f.  (32f was the temp where water-froze in lab-conditions).  Nobody's really sure why he decided to use a confusing scale.  0f is kinda meaningless.

Thank you,,,,I never understood why we have to be different.  I know alitte about the difference.  But not as well versed as yourself.
