    Warming a bit here ... 22°F this morning, going up to 34°. Mid-40s tomorrow, but then the bottom drops out and we'll be in the single digits overnight. High of 12° on Sunday.

    Stay warm.

    I left Colorado because of the Californians. What is your excuse?

    We have a lot more that are better tasting than New Glarus. Some are so small you can call them nanobrewerys. They only make enough to sell to a few local bars and restaurants.

    We also get to use growlers.

    If you are ever in Milwaukee, try Lakefront Brewery. Much better than New Glarus (IMHO).

    Wow! last post was in December? No one's been doing things of Friday all year so far? Time to open this up. This Saturday I will be venturing a couple hundred miles to deliver an army buddy of mine (although we served 20 years apart) a tee shirt. Hopefully will ride the Harley and have a decent ride there and back. Hopefully, he will buy me lunch and I shall buy him a beer (or 3). What are your plans?

    Well, it isn't Friday, but tomorrow I will be at a client's. Just thought I would try to breathe some life into this thread by announcing that Monday, 30 April 2018 is my last day at the Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center. I am retiring to a life of farming, something I've always wanted to do. Probably will do some hunting, fishing and maybe even spend more time on the Harley (as opposed to Andy's flashy European motorbike). Fired it up for the first time last evening. This weekend I plan on getting the attachments attached and give it a good wash and take it for a spin.

    He can't do that, yet, John. He hasn't finished plowing/ploughing his field...

    Hey, Andy... That is a David Bradley tractor cira 1965. Its reputation was "one step better than a mule, but not by much". Some folks say that applies to me as well. I actually have a couple of those, but they are at my in-laws. I am hoping I can get them out by Memorial Day.
