Good Morning Everyone,
Beautiful day here, sunny and near 70. We saw a great Cardinal baseball game yesterday with our team winning in extra innings in a dramatic comeback.
This phlox flower usually blooms a month before this but must not have liked the cooler than usual weather we had been having.
Have a great start to your weekend out in Oldgasland

Good day everyone.
43°, partly sunny and rain on the way. Perfect! Jim you're lucky, our daffs are just blooming whats left of them.
Just got back to the shop, had to help flight control set up her friends and her shop for this weekends Art attack thing. Instead of moving pumps I was moving girly stuff. But it was sure lighter to move.
Have a great day everyone be warm and safe.
Have gas all the time

Good morning everybody! It is snowing here, wet, big, heavy snow flakes. It does not seem to be sticking to much, in some spots it is sticking to the roads creating a slushy coating. We had a pretty big fire yesterday, I guess it made national news. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/wisconsin-refinery-explosion-evacuations-today-2018-04-26/The story is not 100 percent accurate. The fire was put out at around 6.30 last night. The evacuation area was a 3 mile radius, but was 10 miles to the south where the smoke was carried by the wind. They thought that they had it under control, until a second explosion happened around noon. The smoke was just white until the second explosion, when it turned black. Have a good day everybody!

I saw the refinery fire on the news. We saw the tanks in Superior when we were in Duluth but didn't realize it was a refinery. Scary stuff.

Latest news is that there were 16 injured, all are expected to recover from their injuries. It is my understanding that the refinery was being serviced and most of the employees were not working during the explosion and fire.
