Should have sunny skies and the temps should reach the low 20's. Word of the day is mackle. Today is NATIONAL HAT DAY Hang on to your hats and celebrate in style on January 15, with millions of others across the nation, as it is the annual celebration of National Hat Day. Hats may be worn for safety and protection, religious reasons, ceremonial reasons, warmth or fashion. In the Middle Ages, hats were an indicator of social status. In the military, hats may denote ones nationality, branch of service, rank and/or regiment. A Thebes tomb painting depicts one of the first pictorials of a hat . The painting shows a man wearing a conical straw hat. Structured hats for women began to be worn in the late 16th century. Millinery is the designing and manufacture of hats. The term “milliner” derived from the city of Milan, Italy. The best quality hats were made in Milan in the 18th century. Millinery began as traditionally a woman’s occupation, as the milliner not only created hats and bonnets but also chose lace, trim and accessories to complete an outfit. In the middle of the 1920′s, to replace the bonnets and wide-brimmed hats, women began to wear smaller hats that hugged their heads. HAPPY NATIONAL HAT DAY. NATIONAL HAT DAY HISTORY Within our research, we were unable to find the creator and the origin of National Hat Day, an “unofficial” national holiday. NATIONAL STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM DAY National Strawberry Ice Cream Day is a food holiday celebrated each year on January 15. ( National Ice Cream Day is celebrated on July 1) Strawberry ice cream is made by blending either strawberries or strawberry flavoring with eggs, cream, vanilla and sugar. Food coloring is often used to give it the pink or light red hue. Dating back to at least 1813, strawberry ice cream was served at the second inauguration of James Madison. Strawberry ice cream is one of the three flavors in Neapolitan ice cream along with vanilla and chocolate. Strawberry cheesecake ice cream and strawberry ripple ice cream are variations of this feature. Have fun celebrating National Strawberry Ice Cream Day by trying one of the following “tried and true” recipes: http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/e ... ice-cream-cake-75140.aspx http://allrecipes.com/recipe/yummy-strawberry-shake/ http://www.cooks.com/recipe/u07a03m2/strawberry-ice-cream-pie.html NATIONAL STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM DAY HISTORY Our research was unable to find the creator of National Strawberry Day, an “unofficial” national holiday.

Still improving over the next couple of days as well. About a week ago I sent in a MAC ratchet to be warrantied (no drivers around here) and yesterday in the mail I received back a brand new flex head ratchet replacement. I was impressed with the speed of their mail in customer service. I haven't used it yet, but it looks like a nice piece. The only thing is I think I want a ratchet with more teeth so I'm considering getting rid of this one for a snap on 80 tooth (pretty much industry standard). One listing I saw said the MAC was 30 tooth, but that seems low. I think it's 60 tooth. Might have to take it apart to see. I might lubricate it as well to see if it's less notchy. It's made in the USA. Here is the link (doesn't list number of teeth) http://www.mactools.com/en-us/Ratchet ... -Flex-Bent-Handle-Ratchet Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew

Knock out 2 in one day. Playing with lawn and landscape $#!+ right now. Maybe start straightening out the garage and sheds when I finish with that. (not today) I have to go play with my tools too and get them better organized. I now have 3 sheds and a two car garage so there is no reason I can't put everything in it's place. Well, I can think of a few reasons not to but none the less, there's room for improvement.

It's a good problem to have, keep those kids busy. It's supposed to be nearly 60 today, too bad I have to be inside. I couldn't understand a word that girl sang, but I sure got the meaning, she sure has a voice. Another b-ball game tonight, GS #2 today.

Temps have been pretty decent around here, hanging in the 20s to low 30s. It's winter, I can deal with those temps. Later this evening I will tune in to the Barrett Jackson auction for a couple hours and watch a lot of cars I can't afford get sold. I wish I was going to be home to watch it on Saturday, some really cool stuff going on the block then. Things like Cadillac LMP, '67 Indy STP Turbine, '69 'cuda Fireball 500 car and a bunch more.

But the GS came in and drilled a couple of treys, just not enough to make a big difference. It was a gorgeous day here, 58 when I went over to the gym for the games and no, or very little wind. Supposed to be this way for several days now. Gris, that is one HUGE mofo croc....SH!T! That old Winchester is so cool. Heck, that picture of Clint was just taken last year wasn't it?
