    but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

    Good news, right Backwoods Savage ????? Pretty soon you'll be posting about the return of "spring" birds!

    Can't happen soon enough for me. I used to love winter but as I've aged I no longer like it so much. But then, perhaps those years we spent winter by Yuma, AZ also had something to do with this?

    I would like it warmer also, but to go somewhere where there are a lot of people would not be good for me. I don't care for crowds or traffic. I could to go someplace warmer, but I am comfortable right here except for not being able to sit outside.

    I am partially like you in that I do not like crowds or traffic. However Judy and I always seemed to find plenty of places without crowds or traffic. Yes, some traffic has to be dealt with to get to some of these places, but they do exist. One example is that we wintered in Arizona/CA several times and had no problem. In fact we never even had to pay rent. Also here in our own state we have huge areas where we can go to get away from those crowds.

    Sun is getting stronger too. Nice to be outside in the sun but out of the wind.

    Still daylight at 5pm is good too.

    I've been noticing that too. Doesn't get dark until close to 7 here now. I'm about as far west as you can be and still be on EST.

    So in the summer, our sunset is just past 8pm, what time is the latest sunset EST out there?

    I know, right?

    Once it gets to March, you never know what you'll get weather wise. I recall several years riding my motorcycle in March. I won't even attempt to ride a bike until the salt has washed off the roads.

    It's close to 10 before it is totally dark at the peak of summer. We do a big fireworks show on the 4th every year and it doesn't start until 10:15 if the skies are clear.

    Took a long range look at our expected highs. In obout 2 weeks our highs will be in the upper 30s. Better than the twenties we have had.

    Every 6 months I have to have my o2 level checked. I get my o2 script renewed if when they take me for a walk without o2 on and my level drops below 88.
