Daffodils are covered now."Greg-- Lovely to look at from afar. We've had several days in the 60s/70s, but our family never really counted it as Spring 'til after my folks' anniversary; north Missouri saw rain/sleet/snow on Easter Sunday--April 13, 1952...tonight's weather is predicting lows in the 20s into next week with rain/sleet/snow in north Missouri for Easter Monday--April 13, and my peach tree is in full bloom (poor little thing doesn't know about the family curse). My folks are long gone, but the unpredictability of Missouri weather lives on.Lynne

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #839 – April 10, 2020, 10:08:29 am Just recently took down this dead pine tree with my Stihl 661 chainsaw that has a 28" blade. Wasn't long enough to get through the 42" trunk so it had to be cut from both sides. Shook the ground when it fell. The Stihl had no problem powering through that wood. I have 6 Stihl power tools and they never have failed me. 8 Likes

I wish we could camp here.Sorry for getting off-topic but for those looking to camp in that area, and have access to military bases, Vandenberg AFB has a RV FamCamp (currently closed due to the health situation). I have not stayed there myself but looks nice from the photos and not far from the water. Just watch out for those missiles! 😉U.S. Military Campgrounds and RV Parks - Vandenberg AFB FamCamp
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #848 – April 11, 2020, 07:35:54 pm Greg,Does one need to be active or retired military to use Fam Camps (once they open again)? The website you shared suggests that civilians may use the facility for a slightly higher fee?Warren
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #849 – April 11, 2020, 07:55:23 pm Warren, I believe Department of Defense (DOD) civilians qualify to use the FamCamps. Not sure if you saw this link but there were some changes this January which also allows certain Veterans to now use the FamCamps:U.S. Military Campgrounds and RV Parks - Authorized Users of MWR FacilitiesIt’s best to call the base in question ahead of time as the rules may be different for certain facilities.
