Morning boys.  Was 0 when the wife got up and is up to 5 now.  Got pretty windy here yesterday and made fit kind of ugly.  Man that is a lot of sausage JB.  You are the man today!  Good for you.  Cooper chewed a hole in one of the wife's socks last night.  I hope it is just a teenage phase he is going through.  He has been so good that we thought we had it made.  Oh well.  Yes there will be some good football on.  I suppose everyone is hoping Watson bombs out today.  He hasn't played in a year and a half.  Have a fun day. Doing some baby backs in the oven today.

[glenn57]

  sorry no drinking for an me for a while.

I'm a week into quitting smoking. Alcohol is a trigger, so is driving so when driving I knarl a chunk of gum!!😂 So until it subsides some I'll be booze free

[Jerkbiat]

Keep at it Glenn. Hope you stay strong!

[deadeye]

I can just see Glenn driving down the road, cigarette in one hand, drink in the other using his knees to steer while trying to open a gum wrapper with his feet.  Seriously, I'm pulling for you to kick the cig habit.

I'm planning on a grouse hunting trip today. I will wait a bit for things to warm up and then it's off to the land to shoot some brush and branches.

That is how Carlin said driving tests should be given since that is how people drive.  A beer in one hand a joint in the other and a cigarette in the ash tray.

Mornin' comrades! 12 for a low, 14 at choretime, heading for a high around the freezing/thawing mark. Been getting the wife in on laundry folding so it helps her state of mental health somewhat. Auntie Mar Mar just dropped off a pumpkin cake made with black walnuts. I countered with the frozen turkey carcass I'd promised her. Still didn't get the chains on the tractor yet but figured I'd do that then plop a couple round bales in the main lot for the ewes. They chewed thru the last two finally so get it all done in one fell swoop.

Morning boys. 16 here and going down in temp all day. Below zero again tonight. Every year that goes by I carry more and more. When I first got my permit I was like you Mike. Wanted it more for purchasing. Usually when we travel I carry now. Well, another weekend in the books boys. Just another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

[mike89]

mornin all, I hear ya JB and understand that too!!  21 this morning and might go up 2 degrees...  got a few things to do today, but just small things over all..   have a good day all...

[LPS]

Morning boys.  I am going to fire up the plow and clean things up here.  May run to the landfill but that may wait for a day or two.  I still am procrastinating my conceal carry thing.  Someday.  Well the Vikes squeeked out another one. Boar will eat good.  lol  Well stay warm and out of trouble.

Mornin boys, 32 here & raining, we may make it to 35. Woke up to no power so we hooked up the portable generator that was at Mom's. Power just came back on ~ 7 & it sounds like it went out around 5:15. My brother has a couple appts in Mason today but I think he's canceling them. IA 511 is already saying the roads are partially covered with ice & it's not 'sposed to quit 'til around noon. 'Bout it from the southland, have a good day.

Nothing special going on today. Should take the load of deer legs and heads to the dump and clean up a bit before the truck shows up. Maybe clean up the garage some too. Other than that, I may take a drive to look and see if there's any wildlife areas that look like a good place to take a walk with a 50. Later....

Mornin' comrades! 29 at 3 a.m., 27 at choretime with temps falling after lunch. Got the bales in the lot yesterday but punted on the chains. Got muddy in front of the shed before I got out there. Made 35 for a high so we'll take it. Getting the snow tires put on the wife's car this a.m. so I've escaped the insane asylum for the forenoon. The snow tires are essential on the car. Let's see, put wide tires on a light, small car. What could possibly go wrong in the winter?

This immediately came to mind.  After all, it is the PEOPLE's Vagon.

That reminds me of my high school buddy who had one of those old dull red 60-something Saab's. Must've been the only color they came in because I never saw any of that vintage that weren't dull red. It was ugly but a good winter car with an especially redeeming quality. The parking brake only locked one rear wheel. When you'd fly across an ice covered parking lot and pull the parking brake lever: instant cookies!   

[mike89]

we did that with a buddies VW too!!!   

[glenn57]

morning fellers...........got done early. think i'll spend some time in the garage today. time to get my ice fishing/chucking stuff organized. make sure heaters work, auger starts, check fishing lines......wirk on firing up the snowblower to.......but like LPS suggests........no need to get it all done today!!!!!!!

[Boar]

Got done early????? Ya mean yu quit!!

[glenn57]

Got done early????? Ya mean yu quit!!

Heated isle?  I always had you pegged for spotting cougars in frozen foods.   

[mike89]

1st he has to get out of the female hygiene isle I was told!!!

No grouse were harmed during my hunt yesterday. Did see a lot of tracks but only heard a few fly. Jumped a bunch of deer while stomping around in the woods. Great time even though I didn't fire a shot. 

It's always fun to stand in a swamp and look back at the woods. Normally it's the other way.
This is a view of our "360" enclosed stand.


This food plot looks a little bare in the winter. Most forage has been removed by the deer

Morning boys. -8 this morning heading for a high of 8 today. I seen it made it to -16 overnight. Dat should be thickening some ice.  Going to warm up for the weekend. That should make the ice pop. I see Mr Brady and the bucs pulled it off last night after I went to bed. Thought for sure the Saints had it. I should know better than to ever count Brady out before the game is over. Well, just another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.
