And / Or

I am at work,  not working.  The dirt road had a glaze of ice @ 5 am. No school again.  Next week's weather looks much more promising.


We have a full tank of heating LP, as they come out yesterday and filled it.  I checked This Old House  gas tank next door earlier in the week and it was at 60%, so should be good till spring.


Em may not go to Spf tomorrow after all, so things are looking up.  We may need to take her to a friend's house later today, but I am hoping no big trips tomorrow.


Since I am not working, I looked at the GF school site for updates.  They had a link to online brain games so I took a look. I like the online knowledge quizzes.  I took this one
https://www.brainpop.com/technology/computerscience/logicgates/


On computer coding, 0, 1, and, or, not Just because.  Hence this post's subject, And / OR. I made 70%.  I don't know the whys and wherefores, but I have a natural talent for computer programing.  It has to do with algebra, math and logic.  I guess it is like people who have natural mechanical abilities.  Machines do not add up with me. 


Betty and Astrid, I really love the GF tiger emblem that Astrid made for us.  I was wondering, if maybe, she might consider making a couple of small ones [10 inches or so] somewhat like this but not exactly for Robert and Hannah's teachers.  Ask her.  I know when I used to do crafty things, I enjoyed doing one or two, but did not care for doing several of the same thing over and over.


I have it as my computer background at work on this computer.  It is so bright and cheery, it makes me feel good.


Maybe I will go take another quiz now.

Snow, Ice, Cold, No School

 

They are wanting feed, but I am going to wait and let George feed them.  You can't see it, but there is a small amount of ice on all the trees.  It is thicker on the weeds and grass.  It is supposed to ice a little more tonight and then snow a little early in the morning.  The roads are pretty good, but I bet there is no school again tomorrow.  I made it to work just fine today.  We will see about tomorrow.

George had been feeding the goats down in front of that little shed in the background of the picture.  He has out some hay from Sisters horse stash and cattle cubes.  He is gone to the store now and will feed when he gets back.  Yesterday, about sunset the deer came up and were eating the cubes.  It is the first time we have seen them eating the goat feed, but we were feeding then up here by our house instead of across the road.

I have not walked since Monday. Weather is just too miserable.

On the Road again...

I was going to stay  home again, but woke up at 3 am and could not sleep.  At 5 I walked outside and found only dry sleet, not slick at all.  I was here by 5:30 with no problem.  This is taken through my windshield the corner on the hill just past Dan's.  It is supposed to do more tonight, so I may not be here tomorrow.  Just in case, I am not going to actually do any work here today.  It should be enough that I made the effort to come in.

Kids are home, another snow day.  When I left, everyone was still fast asleep. 

Tomorrow

is probably not going to be a good day.  So far we only have a little misting of ice, but Springfield has glaze ice on all their roads.  If we get ice, I will not go in tomorrow.  Hannah is hoping for a no school day again.

At least I was missed at work.  It amazes me how they sometimes can not figure out how to do the simplest things.  A customer requested some data from our computer data.  Not only did the man not know how to get the data, he wasn't even sure we had the data to be gotten.  Someday, I am going to retire and he will really be lost.  Especially if he does not grow a backbone, which does not seem likely at this late date.  Anyway, I was missed.

It is really cold here, around 27 or so and I did not walk today.  Monday morning it was 13 degrees and I had a good walk.  The difference is wind and moisture.  Monday there was no wind and the air was really dry.  I have logged 64 miles this year with 5 zero days.

Tomorrow is probably going to be even worse with ice and snow.  You would think it was winter.

Snow day

It started snowing around 11 last night.  We got a little more than an inch of dry powder. It was 9 degrees this am.  I did not go to work because I wanted to walk.  I bundled up and stayed nice and snug.

Green Forest Arkansas Tigers

and Emily Jade Aday

I bought this for Emily's birthday from Astrid Christensen.  It is completely hand drawn by Astrid.  It is beautiful and Emmy loves it.  Plus she was really surprised.

Happy Birthday little girl. 

And thank you Astrid.  You did a wonderful job on this.  You are so talented.  Must take that from your Grandpa.
