Hey guys... eyes not working well tonight, so if I misspell stuff, forgive me. Weather prognosticator suggested we would get up to 31 ºF today and my thermometer said we hit 38 ºF. All the paths I cleared out the other day turned into melted creeks but after sunset they froze again and tomorrow morning's chores will be dancing on an ice rink. Sure was nice to see all that sunshine, but then it takes five minutes in the house before you can see shit (snow blind). Anyway, I hope this weather trend continues.

At least it's not melting all at once, causing havoc, to your havoc......:)

In another week it should be smooth sailing (i hope).....:vino:

As long as the temp stays above freezing for the high but less than mid-40s, the meltage will be tolerable (welcome to Mus Season), but if it goes too high lltoo soon, those 6-8 foot high snow piles on either side of the paths that bobcat made (where else was I supposed to put all that shit?) will, in fact, make me have to go buy a sailboat, which is the only way we'd pull off that "smooth sailing." :)

I can picture it now, Rich.

Was looking at the guessers 4-cast yesterday, looks decent for a slow melt, but that's just my guess too....:devil:

I hope you are right. Our 10-day forecast seems to have a few 40s in it. I have asked the Big Guy to stop with the white shit for this year. :)

Given that it is just after midnight, I better put my old butt to bed too. Yak at everyone again tomorrow.

You have a house there, Don?....or plan on building one?

Sorry I kind of got sucked into putting a build in a new RTA.

It's land that been in my wife's family for almost 100 years. Just shy of 300 acres. Plenty of space to roam, hike, shoot. No neighbors close, but close enough to help out if needed. No modern sounds. Just coyotes, dogs from near by properties, wild hogs, deer, cows, and birds.

Yes there is a small house on the property. Kind of rustic, but not too much so. It does have running water and electricity. Within the last few years central AC and head were added. 3 bed rooms 1 1/2 bath. No shower. There is also a loft that the kids seem to like to sleep in especially if they have a friend or if cousins are there.

Needless to say it's our own piece of heaven.

Picked up son from airport. Got home from Sea Base today. Went to work today. Little easy 4 hour job, but Sundays are time and a half. Got some "new" furniture. Next door neighbor got new living room furniture and put her old on the curb for anyone. It's in better shape than what we had and we hated our stuff so we got my son and one of his friends to swap them out. Love teenage boy labor. Nothing exciting but productive.

Ya know, scouting has been a God send. We have been fortunate to be associated with a good unit. He's had experiences and made memories that will last him all his life. My wife and I have always been active in the committee and other leader roles. We are blessed that our daughter now has the chance to have these experiences too.

It's a fact, good parents raise good children.

Remains to be seen how well we've done, but we've certainly tried.
I'll put it this way, I bet your children will, and you and your wife will thank yourselves for taking the time to raise children properly. Not many people do this anymore, it's actually quite rare these days (as you well know).

It's not someone else's or society's responsibility to raise our kids. Kind of the contract we signed when we brought them into the world. Then again, I'm a bit old school.

Doesn't sound like you're having any fun at all. Guess all I can say is get UNsick quick. :(
We're still buried under tons of really deep snow, but little by little Ma Nature has started the melting process (welcome to Mud Season). :)
