Well, an "All-Star", in my definition and way of thinking...is a person of great regard, and there is a deep respect for them. That is my understanding and intentions in the use of it.
I don't think I can forget, I've been using one since I was about 9yrs old, tho it was used as the construction crane when I got my dump trucks and dozer out to play....I always wanted a crane, but never got one so I just improvised....

Haha, our son is a crane operator, the really big ones. You'd probably love to tag along with him on a job. Right now he's on a 2 year job in Corpus Christi. Guess we'll have to take a trip down south.....

Happy Birthday......a bit belated.....

What a "Crazy Day" around here....it just never seems to surprise me tho. Got up to Thunder from 7-10am...never a Drop....went by to the north of us, and the southern end started forming to the east of us. It got up to 82 here today, I was actually sweating, just walking back from the "Herd House". ......saw this on my way back, too...View attachment 27614 View attachment 27615 I saw several more very large flicks of geese heading north. The dad-blame Bugs are flying around....watched a little Khaki girl chasing something flying around in the pen. Will get back to digging tomorrow, when I get back from town...I would like to get the sakrete delivered in a wk to set posts. I can't swear to it, but honestly I don't think I can remember it being 80° in Feb...except when we lived in Florida.
Sure do hope we aren't in that season I refuse to say...at the moment.
If this weather keeps up though, I'll be cutting grass by the end of March. So, gotta get finished with this so I can do some clean-up before it starts growing again...the dang Sumac is pushing leaves now too.

It's going to be 24 tomorrow morning 86 Sat 34 Sun night Mon morn.

I was hoping to be down in that area or just finishing up right now as a fitter. They cancelled the job I was heading to after I quit my other 1 in Michigan.
It went from feast to famine at my house.

It was another record-setting day today...got up to 78° and is going down to 30° tonite. Going to be cool for 2 days and back into the 70s. Got some pics today, found some more "Signs" of the word I'm not saying.... I only know this weed as hen-bit...it is Blooming...it is very prolific and invasive here, but as temps warm up they die off until next winter-spring. the daylilles are coming up... the autumn joy sedum is coming back.... the dogwood is pushing blooms and leaf buds.... Joyce's sweet peas are popping up, and her onions too.......her tomatoes are inside under lights.... these are the roma tomatoes. I had to get a couple of bags of feed today and they even had a pallet of seed potatoes sitting there. One more, I saw this today too...up by the house........just beats All, don't it? Sure starting out as one "Crazy" year....I certainly am not complaining, heck...I'm getting something accomplished without try to cram it all in during the 3-4wks of spring and fall we've had for the past several yrs now.

Most of our fruit trees are trying to set buds. May not be a good fruit year.

 

[NH homesteader]

Wow... How pretty, signs of that thing you don't want to mention. Lots of snow and ice here.

 

[CntryBoy777]

My real thoughts are that there will be some more Cold too. There will be quite a bit that gets "Bit" back this yr. The fruit trees should be okay, unless they bloom....but, if they do then it will be just about a complete loss. I just can't see it staying this warm til Apr/May. So, I'm right there with ya on that Mike.

 

[CntryBoy777]

I heard on the news about this last storm heading that way, and saw your post about 3-6", please believe me when I tell ya, I'm ready to get back to season for sure...but, I'm not "Looking the Gift horse in the Mouth"...I'm taking full advantage of digging these holes in short sleeves, instead of bundled up in teens and 20s for WindChill.
