Yet another gripe about the game.  WTF, please make all eq making take 12
hours a day and tune it so all eq goes poof in 6 weeks of game time in chests.
 Kruik, the micromanagement is getting absurd.  </rant mode>

I'm finally getting caught up at work.  No emergencies or major fires at the
moment and for that I'm happy.  Since the software work is low at the moment,
I have to write a white paper on how to test hardware in thermal cycles.  Once
again, I get to pull something out of thin air. Whatever I suggest I'm sure
I'll get stuck with making it work.

I spent the weekend out on the farm again.  The weather is starting to get
spring like off and on.  Saturday was almost in the 50's with 30 mph winds,
then yesterday it was mid 30's and 30 mph winds.  The one thing I hate about
March weather around here is the winds.  I can live with the rain, snow, and
mud, but the winds make working outside miserable.  And speaking of working
outside, I put my back to the wind and split wood for 4 straight hours.  I
need to get the supply built up for the next winter.  Once the weather turns
nice, we'll be too busy doing other things on the farm to spend much time
splitting.

Looking ahead, Easter will be here in 3 weeks (no more Lent!) and about 3-4
weeks after Easter we'll be out in the fields planting this year's corn crop. 
Woot!  I can't wait to get out there and smell the dirt in the air.  Shoutout
to Boot's kitties!
