    We are still doing well in my little part of the world. I am looking forward to more warmer weather so I can comfortably spend more time outdoors. We have had highs of 87 followed by lows of 30 a couple of days later and the cold has stayed around. But I'm not complaining.

    During one of those warm days I turned on the AC to cool the house down a little and Houston we had a problem. I called our heat and air guy and he came out a couple of days later to find that one of the copper tubes had rubbed a leak due to vibration and had leaked all of the coolant. The good news was the leak was in a location where he could easily solder it. The bad news was it would require 15# of coolant at $35 per pound. Unexpected, but it's fixed.

    This hibernation hasn't been too bad for me and Mrs Smokey. We get along great and enjoy each other's company. I do miss physically seeing the kids and grandkids, Grandbaby #9 is about a month away from splashdown.

    Now there goes your plan of using your stimulus check for cigars

    Lol, I don't plan on spending any of it on cigars. But time will tell. Our stimulus check is hitting our account tomorrow.

    Man, that just sucks Steve. Holla' if you're in the area and I'll hook you up with some venison and crappie to try and take your mind off all the BS while you're chewing some grub. We went to the lake house last weekend and fired up the fryer outside after cleaning our fish. Some crappie, hush puppies, potatoes and onions made for a nice evening to forget about all the crap going on. It's not much, but it's the little things that get you to the next day. I sure wish we had some morrel mushrooms for dessert!
    Like my father before me, I will work the land,
    And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand.
