What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Would seriously consider doing that WW if I were 20 years younger...............

 

-5 outside. This is getting old. It's %*^*& March!

 

Bout 0 here this morning. Big Black River, up in northwest Maine... I think he said it was -32 ... coldest spot in the lower 48...

 

Kinda interested in what temp you had this morning, Rotti? Zap just checked in with -21...

 

Good morning, 1 degree and sunshine to go with my coffee.
I'll know more when the coffee kicks in.

 

Making ready to mop up the last of breakfast, maybe get my hairs cut down close to me numbskull.
Heat wave coming this weekend, maybe dig out some shoulder wood.
The fishing gear is being sorted on the shop bench, the reels could use some new line and cleaned/lubed,,yep, a very busy day here.

 

Shipping the kids off to my parents for the evening. Wife and I will grab some dinner then do some glamorous shopping for lumber and other supplies.

 

When I woke up @ 6 this morning Dave it was -9 f. It is already up to +5 f and clear and sunny right now.

 

That'll make for a soggy, sloppy mess,,

 

That's no joke. Ground is frozen down pretty far so I don't see anything soaking in. We'll end up with 1/4" of snot on top of frozen ground.

 

^^ Yep, had some that going on here yesterday^^

 

Yup, we have 6 1/2' of frost in some areas here. 37" of ice on the Ottawa river here in town.

 

I read somewhere this morning that Vermont's big lake has ice 4 feet thick? Said a lot of fishermen were looking for ice auger extensions.

 

So the cough and cold turned into Bronchitis Hopefully with the meds prescribed, it will disappear soon.

Meanwhile getting a lot done on my genealogy research and knitting.

 

What a nice day it turned out to be, 19deg and sunny. Despite the teens I'm outside in a sweatshirt today clearing some ice from the end of the driveway. The sun feels good and tomorrow we are supposed to reach 34.
I'm sure I'll be back to 12 hr burns again and soon enough shoulder wood will take us into spring.

 

Weekend starts now.

 

I spent the last 2 days in training class. You won't here me say it much, but I wish I was back at work. Yes, even shoveling a roof off. I was all cramped from sitting idle for two nauseating greasy donuts and hotel coffee. I learned that I was not a desk person 15 years ago.

 

I'd probably contemplate a bullet if I ever had to do a desk job. No offense to the ones that do, but I've been working with my hands and making a living like this for 33 yrs, not sure I could...
