Yeah, boy. Spring has sprung. Flood warnings until 8 a.m. (there are some real
fun aspects about living close to the Ohio, but I guess I should be happy I'm
away and uphill, and not further downstream where it's a really powerful
river).
And then, ta-dum: Wednesday night, 8 degs.
Bleah.

We are feeling the brunt of a terrible winter here in Honolulu, it was 66
degrees last night and today we missed the average high by 3 degrees, it was
ONLY 77. The locals are scrambling for their blanket.

EITHER word is technically correct to use in _this_ context.
The two words are _not_ always interchangeable --
'Farther' is acceptable _only_ in contexts of physical distance.
'Further' can be used for physical distance, and is the only acceptable word
when the context is 'relative distance' (example, 'we must consider the
matter further'.)
In the specific instance above, "further" _is_ probably preferable (although
not compellingly enough for 'farther' to be regarded as being 'clearly wrong'),
since the reference is -not- to a distance from a given point/place, but to a
'relative position' along the river path.

We were due for snow showers today but it got sunny and 45F,
warm enough to melt the rest of the snow off my lawn. Our low
was 27 on Saturday. </neener>
I live about 50' above the river level here and have heard of
the water coming up nearly to my house (but across the road)
in flood years. The rain tomorrow will finish melting the snows
and the river should be running at a pretty good clip tomorrow
evening.

There are worse things than using further for farther, your for you're,

Something like that here too. I guess I get to use my new heater after all.
This is going to suck for awhile, but it's *still* spring. :)
I'm not undertaking any new "flat wood" projects until I do something about
my saw, and I'm using this time to play with my lathe. The good thing
about that is I don't have to worry about glue or finish temperatures.
(I have a long way to go before I turn out anything that's fit to finish
too. Wood turning really is a separate discipline unto itself.)
I guess the cold won't bother me too much, so long as it doesn't mix with
water.

You makes yourself a saw sled. I'm sure my saw isn't any higher
quality than yours (HF $79), and I get nice cuts now. Course, I've got
an el cheapo carbide tip blade, which helps fantastically, plus I tune
the saw a tad. Actually, pretty close, right out of the box.
About 72 today, supposed to be 50s tonight, and 72 tomorrow. Damn

Don't you remember all my blathers comparing my sled ideas to your sled
ideas and so forth? I built a sled in September. There's a picture of it
on my web site:
http://tinyurl.com/2ch2f
The sled helps enormously, but this saw's problems are myriad, and it's not
a panacea. The picture also shows the stupid, oversized sheet metal
insert, for example, and the fact that the paint has rubbed off of the
insert at the back is also telling.
It's better than nothing, but not by much. I hate it. I wish it would die
so I'd *have* to replace it.
Probably means the damn thing will run forever.

Charlie;
Alas you have touched on the one thing I like about Ohio weather. It
changes constantly, never a boring minute.
Jerry
BTW:
Stopped at Woodcraft in Dayton yesterday, during the biblicial rainfall,
and I like it a lot better than the Rockler store on Kempler in Cincy. I
think the difference is that the Woodcraft store has about 3-4 times the
floor space that the Rockler store has.

Having just herniated myself with the Webster's Unabridged, I
sit corrected. (Too lazy to stand.)
I had learned in school that "farther" was used in physical
circumstances (indication of distance) and "further" was used
only in intellectual circumstances.
Hey, I get to say that famous apology now: "Sorry, Charlie!"

Parkersburg, WV. We drove across the 2 P'burg bridges this evening...the crest
had not quite hit, but evidently wasn't going to cause an damage. Made a mess
of some of Marietta, OH, though, yesterday and today, flooding Pike St. (one of
the main drags and parallel to the river--though that branch may actually be
the Muskingum: I'm not sure, as Marietta fronts both and the local TV news
announcers barely speak English, so it's hard to tell what did what to what.
