Kinda crappy weather in the forecast for the weekend. Right now, it’s cloudy and a bit chilly, and it’s supposed to get very windy and rainy later on. Fairly typical weekend weather. What with me getting up at about 4:00, I’m quite ready to get out there and do some stuff, but kind of hate to shatter the quiet of the morning with the sound of the tractor. I need to compact some dirt before I throw down grass seed, and I’d like to start clearing some scrubby stuff and rolling out some fence, but that all involves the tractor. I suppose I could head on out and see about picking up a couple more fence gates. At least one eight footer, and probably a man-gate, and I’d really like to get at least one more 4-footer. I need more money.
Kinda crappy? Really crappy! We get one nice day and then it gets cold and rains again. I assume this will go on until summer when it’s hot and muggy.
No internet here. Need cable run from the street to the house. That’s a long, long, long way. Not gonna happen ’til Mon or Tues at the earliest. Guess y’all are on your own.
Does that mean the site will be down or you won’t be able to do the opening threads? If it’s the latter I can cover Monday’s Suck opener, but Sunday’s Whatever thread is up for grabs.
I thought you said Dish was still providing internet service even though you cancelled your TV package.
Oh, I figured it out. The internet is being cut at the old place. Do you still have Bluehost for servers?

Dish is for TV. RoadRunner for Internet. Too hard to type on my BB (though I did figure out if you hold the letter down it capitalizes it). Don’t know how these kids do all that texting. Anybody wanna step up, go for it. Otherwise, see y’all when I get to work. Funny, a house full of computers, and they all seem worthless w/o the Internet.
Today, Sunday, my little granddaughter is having her 9th birthday party. It seems to me that she has grown up very fast. To her, of course, getting to 9 has taken a very long time.

Millions of gallons of potentially hazardous chemicals and known carcinogens were injected into wells by leading oil and gas service companies from 2005-2009, a report by three House Democrats said Saturday.
The report said 29 of the chemicals injected were known-or-suspected human carcinogens. They either were regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act as risks to human health or listed as hazardous air pollutants under the Clean Air Act.
Methanol was the most widely used chemical. The substance is a hazardous air pollutant and is on the candidate list for potential regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
The report was issued by Reps. Henry Waxman of California, Edward Markey of Massachusetts and Diana DeGette of Colorado.
The chemicals are injected during hydraulic fracturing, a process used in combination with horizontal drilling to allow access to natural gas reserves previously considered uneconomical.
