Zero tonight....40 tomorrow?
That is really wacky.
Gee, that's not the forecast I just read... +7 ºF for the low tonight and + 34 ºF for the high tomorrow (which they have already blown).
The low this morning was -12 ºF and the high today was +16 ºF, but as of 11 PM it is already down to +3 ºF (that blows the +7 ºF forecast), but with a 20 mph wind, the chill factor right at this moment is -18 ºF, so I hope I don't wake up to find chicken popcicles in the garage (the coop kids are OK - they have a heat lamp). o_O

So do you have enough yet for a weekend in Vegas? ;)
I think about 25 grams...give or take. Bought a new detector, this one should do the trick, pulse induction, it eliminates the iron stones, hot rocks....which are literally everywhere.

Impressive technology ... I bet that cost you more than the gold you have found so far. :rolleyes:
Anything exciting happening in SD?
SSDD. At least we hit 40 degrees, so there is some hope Spring will get here eventually. I suspect, however, winter in not entirely done with us. :(

Pre planting (starters) anything is what I meant
Ahhh... well, depending on the plant, Lannie usually doesn't start anything in the house until a couple weeks to a month before transplanting to the garden, and even in a good year, that date is likely to be in May. And the plant-starter boxes I built (foam with glass lids) to start things in the garden under grow-lights have been entirely eaten by the chickens -- not the contents, but the boxes themselves.

If the weather cooperates you plan on having the regular garden rather than the pots?

I was thinking about using pots this year, so I don't have to deal with weeds (as much)

Actually, I was thinking about even more pots. They are easier to maintain, keep the veggies from being choked out by the weeds, and slightly less being on the knees, which us old pharts have an increasingly hard time doing.

I forget what type of pots you were using?

The big black (have some orange too) plastic pots that minerals for cattle come in. I drill half a dozen 1/2-3/4" holes in the bottom and fill them with compost. They're about 18-24" in diameter and 20-24" deep.

That's right...forgot about those.

I was going to use the home depot buckets with holes drilled if I remember correctly

Tuesday, our forecast said we had a 20% chance of snow flurries (and 12 degrees), but only in the morning. Reality was that we had 36 hours straight of non-stop snow and the bastards never bothered to change the forecast. But I think I figured out why. I had to drive into Faith that day to get several bags filled with cracked corn for the chickens. When I got only one mile east of our house, the snow stopped and stayed that way all the way into Faith and all the way back, until I hit exactly the same spot on the hill, one mile east of our house. When I got in, Lannie said it never quit all the while I was gone. So it snowed here in Maurine for 36 hours but never snowed at all in Faith (27 miles east of here) and, let's face it, those forecasts are written for Faith, not here.

Now, today, the sun came out and it got all the way up to 51 degrees, so the new snow melted off. The old shit hasn't gone away yet because the dirt is still frozen and the sun takes longer to melt packed snow/ice.

Taro Pharmaceuticals U.S.A. Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Phenytoin Oral Suspension USP, 125 mg/5mL Due to Possible Underdosing or Overdosing

February 21, 2020 -- Taro Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. (“Taro” or the “Company”) is voluntarily recalling two (2) lots of Phenytoin Oral Suspension USP, 125 mg/5 mL both in 237 mL bottles, to the consumer level.
Incredible.

For a small minority of patients, who might have severe or repeated breakthrough seizures, a drop in their phenytoin blood levels could result in life-threatening status epilepticus requiring immediate emergency room treatment.
