Went to take a look at the hourly weather report for tonight on weather.com, well they have a new symbol for fog that looks identical to the "bacon" rating symbol here. Its just grey instead of red. Anyway, it gave me the opportunity to lean over toward my wife, show her the forcast image for tonight, and say" look hon, there's a 10% chance of bacon tonight":)
 
After 6 years on grader and dodging muppet drivers I move on to D10 dozer next week. Three times this week I had to duck out of the way, the last time I would have been hit if I hadn't moved. This was after I told the idiot that he wouldn't fit between me and the berm. To paraphrase the Muppet Commander...."these guys are getting worser and worser"
 
Just turned 55, which impressed me as niether good or bad in and of itself but then I realized I can clean up on all those senior citizen discounts now.:)
 
Happy Birthday Michael.
Me ? The pain has eased off from f***ing horrific to just bl**dy painful, so that's a bonus !
Maybe I can sleep tonight, and possibly stand and walk almost normally tomorrow.
Sounds like at least things are heading in the right direction. I can empathise. Im just hopping my knees hold out till 62.
 
I was walking my dog along the road next to the river before dawn this morning. It was quiet, peaceful. I could hear an osprey high overhead, bragging about the fish he just caught. And then I heard a gentle but definite sound, "swoosh..." It sounded like a vehicle going by but there was none to be seen. Then I looked up and saw a flight of birds had just gone over, heading east, into the sunrise. I have never heard the "sound of wings" so distinctly.

Sounds beautiful. I think my favorite sound in the world, or set of sounds, is that almost silence but the faint sound of a light breeze blowing through the pine trees when you get somewhere really isolated up in the mountains ocasionaly punctuated by the raspy echoing call of a Raven circling overhead.
