My dear departed mother always held up her glass about this time and proposed, usually with slightly slurred speach, "Here's to another year shot to he!!. Hope your last one was a good urn, and yer next one is even better."

Good morning and a Happy New Year to all. Will include the riff-raff and the hoity toity. What j_m's mother said.

There is a 'special' new year's brew of coffee and ph00 ready for all of you, that is, when you finally roll out (stagger) of bed. Get up and enjoy the first day of 2016.

May be back l8tr

Thanks for the Coffee. Gotta get breakfast out of the way and go do a bunch of wiring at the tank place while everybody's sleeping off the celebration.

You would think after being in church until after midnight, coming home and catching up on games, hitting sack about 1, I would sleep past 5 at least one morning. NOPE. So, up and at some GET TO DO items, breaky and lay out the day.

Good ph00, yoo did g00d, Stan...............

Happy New Year, y'all.

This past week has been something. Heavy rains, winds up to 116mph, snow, freezing rain, and temps into the 40°. Somewhere out there is a lost dumpster.

To
All My Democrat Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2016, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

To
All My Republican Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

High winds and heavy rains beating against the house all night made it hard to sleep. Even the cat was hiding under the bed. They are saying our current weather pattern is starting to break up. Hopefully it will take this heat wave with it. 2015 was the 2nd warmest year on record after 2014. Already not looking good for the Iron Dog and Idtirod. One race already canceled due to lack of snow.
