Morning boys.  Man Gunner that is quite a hodge podge of weather.  I am envious.  Gonna get a load of wood this morning before it warms up.  Then will take a drive to see if the open water is in site of the Vidas landing yet.  Was still just the open channel in the middle at Frontier yet yesterday.  The ice is stronger this year in this direction so moving slowly.

Mornin' comrades! Was 41 at 4 a.m., 34 at choretime, heading for a high in the low 40's, maybe. .90" combo of rain, sleet & hail at the ranch & .80" worth in Bugtussle. I just thought the yard was muddy before. Looks like more of the same for the daylight hours then it could get interestinger. Talking 2" - 6" of snow now with 1/4 mile visibility or less after midnite. Oh goody. Will need to bed the main barn tonite & cross my finners I don't have to move any snow to get out tomorrow. High temps supposed to be in the mid-50's Sunday. Believe it when I see it. 

Almost forgot, another one of the unplanned pregnancies decided to lamb this a.m. She's a horsecrap mother so far so not expecting any miracles. Judging by what I saw earlier, won't surprise me if we wind up feeding the lamb and turning the ewe loose. She'll be easier to load in the trailer heading to market that way.

Well the furnace repair guy left here at 10:30 last night. Don't appear the problem got fixed. Need to finish welding up a couple of projects I tacked together yesterday. Hope it warms up a bit, beer is half frozen in the garage. Kinda "chunky". Fox weather is telling us 2" to 5" instead of the eight inches they talked about yesterday. Later.....

Chunky beer is OK in July after stacking bales in the haymow. In late March, not so much. Hope your furnace issues are resolved. 

[glenn57]

maybe iffin you guys bought respectable beer it wouldnt get chunky!!!!!!!!!!

We have had absolutely excellent care every time we have been there. Great customer service and great surgeons.  My favorite place to go.  I have had a few surgeries and all went perfect!

Had to remember what I had on that day.  Clam Sweatshirt and hat.

Had to remember what I wore that day.....would have been a Clam Sweatshirt and hat.   

They do have some great people working there.  It is just their billing department and methods I have a problem with.   They eye department is outstanding IMO.  I was there at the same time you were the other day.  Had to get a piece of fiberglass out of my eye....dang that hurt but she did a great job.

I usually have my Gerber on me but didn't that day or I would have yanked it out for you Scenic.  Did you see me there?  I have a camo hat and coat on.  My blonde wife was with me.

I did see someone with a camo jacket on.    Would have been much cheaper to have you use your Gerber.

Did you have a dark jacket, no hat and very short hair?

Good morning all.  The wind finally decided to lay down this morning here.  Clear 15 and heading for 40.   That open water fishing fever is starting to kick in.

[mike89]

mornin all, 20 here and hoping for 33 today..  not sure how much snow we got or how much needs to cleaned up..  I'm in no rush to get to it either today...  I have all day...   have a good day all!!!   

[LPS]

Morning boys.  It is another great day.  Congrats Glenn.  Now you have another addition to your brood.     I got a nice load of birch yesterday.  I cut it there instead of bring the logs home.  I will stack that on the south wall of the garage so the sun hits it.  I plan on getting another load and stacking it today too.  This will be a great jump on next winters firewood supply.     Plan on having those bacon wrapped pork things today with asparagus.  May have to make something to drizzle over it.  LOL  No comments from youse guys.  It was sunny and windy all day yesterday and I think will be that way today too.  It is 10 here at the moment and headed to 41.  Will be 44 tomorrow with a chance of rain.  Wed they are now saying 6-10" of snow.  May put a damper on my gathering program.  Well have a good one.  The wife needs more coffee.

Morning boys. It was 14 when I headed out onto the ice. Heading to 40ish like LPS said. Congrats Glenn!  And way to take away our fun LPS. As soon as I read that my head went there.  The wind blowing snow across the road made for a slow ride home from TRF last night. Wife had to hit Wally world while we were there. Also stopped over at L and M and she put a Springfield Hellcat on law a way. Well here's to hoping the fish bite. Have a good one boys.

Mornin guys, 31 here & headed towards the low 40's. Just enough snow here to color the grass but the wind is still 25+. We got home about an hour before the 1st rumble of thunder yday. Some twisters down around CR & Iowa City but I didn't here of any in this area. Wind, rain, & some smaller hail several times but that was it for us. No more now, have a good 1.

  Two more cups of coffee and then fire up the truck and plow the driveway. Should be fun with this ice under it (sic). After that not sure what is in store for the remaining of today. Thanks for complements on the smoker. Found it on Craigslist for a couple hundred bucks, used twice. I had the running gear that is on it in the corner of the garage already for a different smoker. Just need to clean it up some and find a cover for it.
 Congrats on the family addition glenn!!! New grandkids or great grandkids are just that, great. And by the way that stuff in the glass of beer is foam or what most people call "head" on a glass of beer. Only your finer beers do that much unlike the beer you are drinking.  Have a great day all, later...
