My wife swears by raw onion juice with garlic honey and lemon. I know it keeps me from getting sick. I sleep on the sofa when she drinks it!!!

First taste is not so bad. It goes down easy. It has a taste like a Chinese food glaze. Then 3 hours later all hell breaks loose and you smell like an Italian hoogie.

Clearing today in SoCal after a near-Biblical downpour. Flooded streets, et al.
Oroville Dam, up North, still iffy and heap big storm going on now. Lots of perfectly good water going out to the ocean.
But we're gonna hear how the drought is not over :(

So, next time a lad knocks at your door asking for a contribution for that community pool, just hand him a glass of water.

A report on the News yesterday stated that warm weather like this, which stimulates the trees, etc. to start budding, actually hurts them, because the subsequent cold weather slaps them around a bit, hurting/retarding (my words for it) their growth. I never heard that before.

One of the signs of Springtime, for me, just roared past my home - a motorcycle , belonging to a young man in this neighborhood. Those motorcycles seem to come out as soon as there is even the slightest hint of nice weather. I miss those days when I was right there along with them, roaring away into the next adventure down the road, as soon as the weather got warm enough.

P.S. I actually missed Woodstock. Why? Oh, I had heard about it all right, but that was the day I took delivery of a new Honda Nighthawk, and I ended up never leaving the NYC area, there was so much to experience there.

I actually ,missed Woodstock -SSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSH! Can you imagine!!!!!!!!!!!! What a dumbass.

Has the Rufus ever had a motorcycle. Wayne? Roger? Anybody else, besides me? I'll bet Mitch has; Pete/the Dirt, too, huh. Lucas? Christopher? :D

Murph, a saying came my way a long time ago, "If you can remember Woodstock, you probably weren't there." I think it was in the context of the prevailing drug culture at the time, but I might be wrong. :D

That sounds pretty good! I get it. The fog of booze and pot that reportedly hung over the whole place like a happy pall probably faded out quite a few memoires of the particulars of that event. I'd still like to have had the sense to have been there, though, even though I never was a pot-head (though I did like my Jack Daniels, in those days.) :mrgreen: It was the "happening " of it that I think might have been most excellent to have dipped my imagination into.

Look back one year. Almost to the day. This thread shows February 2016 to be identical to feb 2017. Probably be the second year with no apple crop.

My son goes through Harleys like the Mustang freak goes through Mustangs,
One of the reasons he moved from the Poughkeepsie area to the Savannah area was that he would be able to ride most of the year.
He has been here three years and has his third Harley in that time. He goes anywhere he wants.
I have always looked at motorcycles the same way I look at expensive vehicles, with envy.

We got at least one good sized snow storm last year where I was out with the snow blower several times....barely seen the lawn turn white once this year.
