First Robin

Looking out the window this morning we spotted our first robin of the spring. FLY FLY AWAY MR. ROBIN.

Big wet heavy storm coming today. This baby is really winding up. As of 7:00 this morning the LOW is in Missouri and should track south of Chicago with out part of the woods being on the cold side of the storm. 


NOAA has been all atwitter with their excitement.  You can tell it in their text.

AND STILL LOOKS THAT EVENING RUSH WILL BE GREATLY IMPACTED WITH A QUICK TURN OVER TO ALL SNOW FROM WEST TO EAST WITH THE HEAVIEST ACCUMULATIONS IN THE LATE AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING. COBB SUPPORTING 1.5 TO 2 INCH PER HOUR SNOWFALL RATES AS STRONG LAYER Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE AND FRONTOGENETIC RESPONSE PRODUCE DOUBLE DIGIT OMEGA VALUES INTERSECTING THE PRIME DENDRITE GROWTH ZONE.

YEA BABY!!!   Be very careful on drive home time today.

Just finished watching the 8 hour mini series "Pillars of the Earth"   Excellent show.  I didn't read the book.  I'm really getting into medevil times lately with reading The Game of Thrones to this outstanding show!

VITAMINS IN THE NEWS 

First we find out that taking supplements of FISH OIL is outstanding for not only your heart but your brain.  In fact the latest studies say fish oil contains mega doses of omega-3 fatty acids. Oddly fish do not actually produce omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 comes from what they eat, microalgae and prey fish and THEY get it from what THEY eat.

What they found is Omega-3 is outstanding for the brain and taking Fish Oil tabs will keep you from going bonkers late in life.

And now Vitamin A is in the news for skin cancer - melanoma the 7th leading cause of deaths in the U.S. I had a melanoma about 25 years ago. Sun burns are the big thing with melanoma and I had an ice cream scoop of skin (down to my muscle) taken out with Mohs Chemo surgery. I actually had Dr. Mohs in the room.

Sun burns are very very evil and should NOT be taken lightly. They will get you sooner or later.

Oh man - what a day - The Cardinal couple just showed up at the feeder. Have not seen him for a while. Cardinals, Robins, Chickadees, Pheasents.

-------------------------------

Watching Downton Abby and now just started watching Mad Men. I love NETFLIX. I hate staring to watch a show and then finding out it was canceled after 9 episodes. Like buying software, I like to stay a few years behind. . . . . except my WIN7 64 bit computer sucks. I can't play the good games like Railroad Tycoon or the original SIM CITY.

Mitt Mitt Mitt - Where do you get those jeans.  MOM jeans.  Dude, if you are going to be "one of us" get some jeans that ride a little lower then your nipples!!  Can you actually buy mom jeans?  I mean look at these.

That is a good 2 feet from crotch to the top of the jeans . . HEY - STOP LOOKING AT MITTS CROTCH!! 

I mean seriously - if you put Mitt in better jeans it changes everything.

Hydro Street Brewing now has 8 taps of brew on tap (sounds redundant).

------------------------------

People often complain that art is expensive. The thing with art is that people don't see how much all the swing and misses cost. The art that does not sell. I bring this up because I received my 7 new pieces for Hydro Street and all are way way too dark and red. Since red and yellow make brown it SEEMS printers are very delicate when it comes to printing images that have a lot of brown in them. The curse of digital. DO OVER. $200+ in my art budget just got tossed!! OUCH!! The hidden cost of artwork.
-------------------------------

I don't know why but looking through some folders I found this image. I'm feeling guilty because I have not used my camera much recently.  Just not motivated with the grayness of the world. 


Have a fine weekend.  Hopefully I'll have more to say NEXT week!
