Well said. We are behind him, but he has to do the right thing and keep on doing it. He could be on top of the charts if he does. I agree there. I almost bought a Sirius portable when he came back on and am glad I took the free subscription for the time as it would have been a lost investment after...

Unless something really goes wrong once his non-compete is over in July it will be a free Internet stream from 9PM to midnight Pacific time and $5 a month for the podcast to listen to anytime. So far no mention of any radio stations picking up the program. Art is wanting to break the path for live s...

I've been lurking in the lower decks waiting the return of Art this July.

Welcome back all.

Getting things ready here and will soon get the seeds started indoors then move to the greenhouse as we get later into the year and I get the garden ready. Still snow on a lot of the garden so am looking forward to these warm days to move it off and dry things a little so I can get an idea how the b...

And yes, being prepared still applies. As Art mentioned on that old program, even the weather disasters cause disruption and being prepared, which seems a lot never do, sure helps when it all hits.

Y2K was not the disaster because engineers like myself and may others heard Art and then started looking and found the problems in the systems that could cause what was being talked about. I know we all prepared just in case and then spent many, many hours patching software and upgrading equipment t...

As long as the local station does not block tonights SIT with a ball game this will be interesting to listen to and hear how many of the predictions came true. Even if none, back then we were on the edge of our seat, bed or where ever watching and waiting for what ever to happen. Got to admit, Art w...

We got down to minus 19 Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Wednesday it got to 31 but New Year Day it is overcast and snow again and 21 last I looked. Seed catalogs came yesterday and I am sure many are in the mail. I have noticed that they are higher in price and quantity is less than previous y...

Doka, sorry to hear about the freezing rain; a reason I left the NE decades ago for the semi-desert. ;) If the garlic is in and you have some mulch over it should do just fine. It seems to like abuse, at least here it does, and will come up just fine. I have been planting over and over the bulbs fro...

The worms do seem to do a fast and good job on the direct compost and make lots of worms and good quality soil, nothing like worm poop for good fertilizer. We're fairly warm now in the 50's so this weekend I intend to get more done in the beds. Like I mentioned, that quick hard freeze sort of stoppe...

I'm already thinking about next years while tending the plants in the house window garden boxes and greenhouse. That minus 13 we had last month pretty much sealed the garden activities although now the ground can be worked a little to get some more organic matter in and then some mulch on top so it ...

Garden mostly picked now, green tomatoes are in the house letting some ripen, some will be pickled and some fried green tomatoes. I have a hoop arrangement over the one bed where peppers and egg plant are. It was temporary with older plastic and the winds have tore that apart. I got newer plastic so...

This morning I had a nasty surprise. I had picked all the winter squash and had left them in the garden to 'harden' a few days. This AM I saw the biggest and best butternut squash was half eaten and a couple more had bites taken out of them. When I was out about an hour before sunrise feeding the ou...

You got that Dude, our trusted WX guys are talking about one for next week and a big one for around Halloween. The Halloween one will be what is left of the typhoon that battered Japan and they are saying the kiddies will need to have overcoats under the costumes. :( Not looking forward to the cold ...

We're in garden wrap up here on the ranch. We have had a couple cold nights into the 20's but the producing plants were kept covered so still going. Getting tomatoes like mad due to all the rain we have had, just wish it would have come earlier in the season. Peppers are doing well and so are the eg...
