What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Power is back on 5 hours later. Ac running, genny put away.

I can go to bed now instead of staying awake in case I needed to start switching Gen power to deep freezer etc.

Mmmmmmmm......air conditioning *said in Homer Simpson voice*

 

Going to be a hot one here today.

 

93 today, 94 tomorrow, and 95 Sunday. Good weekend to do some splittin'!

 

Finally putting the finishing touches on the large job I've been on for 2 weeks thanks to the rain. If I had to spend one more day there, I would've just put up a tent.
I'll be happy to look at some new scenery next week.

 

last 3 days high of 72.. low in 50s at nite got a lot of outside work done. supposed to hit 80 today but that life on the northern border. I haven't even put Air conditioner in yet.

 

We spent a few days in the White Mtns of NH. It is a short drive for us. We did one hike to an AMC hut at Lonesome Lake. I read it was a beginner level hike for some. It seemed to be an intermediate level. It climbed 900 feet in elevation in about a mile distance. We had an early start before the crowds began and made it in 1 1/2 hours with a few breaks along the way.

The trail was up to the ridge just south of this granite face upon entering the notch. My wife took these pics. NH just passed hands free law while driving.



One of the many rocky areas along the trail.




View of Lonesome Lake. It is a clear glacial lake or more like a large pond. We took a break in the hut and listened to the other hikers that were hiking large sections of the App trail.

This enormous birch is growing over a boulder and it is loaded with burls. There were a few more burls further up.




A view of the Rangers station at the trailhead looking across the notch. It was perfect weather, low 50's at night, low 70's during the day. Northerly breeze and dry. NH is a great state to visit, great highways and beautiful scenery up in the mountains.

 

That. Is. Awesome.

 

great in July, average temperature in February was 8 degrees not so great then. That's why putting new IS in next week!

 

Cool! We'll get to try them out together. Your first fire prob. Well before mine. (Unless I decide I can't wait until fall to season it!)

 

In southern Indiana you might have a window open most of the winter

 

Out to the cottage yesterday with the oldest boy and i lost in the big fish of the night bet.



These guys have been across the lake for awhile now and there is another one somewhere?



Now back home playing in the fields and sure am glad Emma reminded me that gas is only a buck twenty a litre.

 

I bet you pull the rake with the air conditioned "tractor" don't ya Terry? Glad you got a chance to get to camp and relax with your son too.

 

Out playing in the gardens right now and gotta jacket on Stinster. Ya we had fun and in a couple weeks a bunch of us are heading out for a weekend of boozing er I mean fishing.

 

Finally fixed a server issue at work today, each time I find a way to broaden my skill set I find it quite rewarding... conquered that thing that 6+IT/firewall/server specialist trying to remote in couldn't figure out

Picked the garden when I got home probably make some more rotel with these, have some spare ribs and jalapenos on the grill, the buddies are telling me "Dad the couch is cool, can we stay here?"

 

So if we are now including dialect with our posts, do I have to sprinkle "eh!" all through what I say? eh!

 

Lovely pics of your trip.

BC has quite a famous Lonesome Lake



Ralph Edwards and his daughter were largely the reason that Trumpeter Swans survived.

 

dialect jokes between Stinny and myself are self inflicted
being I now have a bit of southern draw after living down here for 15yrs, when I speak to someone up north I sound like a southerner, when I'm local - I'm still not from 'round here

 

So... you're now a flatlander according to Mainahs... what do they call folks from away down there?
