His favorite joke was, "Do you know the difference between a Vermont sugar-maker and a New Hampshire sugar maker?"

Answer, "No."

"Well, when a New Hampshire sugar-maker finds a squirrel in the bucket drowned, he tosses it away. But when a Vermont sugar maker finds one, he squeezes it out first!"

That's funny!
Science is fun.

We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.

well here on the east coast its a lovely sunny day, did have some frost overnight but the sun soon got rid of that.

did have a small smattering of snow a month or so ago, just enough to make this

a competent engineer uses the tools and knowledge available, to get a challenging job done.

 An incompetent "engineer" tells his boss that the existing equipment "can't do the job" and to get another machine

One last gasp for Winter 2014-15 this morning, -21C, but the end is in sight!!!! Spring arrives in a few days with temps predicted to get consistently well above freezing next week. For the first time in months water can be liquid ( explanation for extra-terrestrials).

That should melt us out pretty good. It will be nice to see the ground again.... :ddb:  :ddb: :ddb:


And yes, sugar season here is starting  :thumbup:

I think we're seeing a trend start to form.

Only occasionally has the air temperature here in my part of the world been above 12C. And the forecast for the next week isn't good.
