We've been running the airconditioner for over 4 weeks now. Getting ready to pull up stakes and start heading north. Getting too warm down here in Southern AZ.

     I wish Global warming was real.  :cry

    Damn you EPA!  :furious
It is.  Look at the global temps this winter.  Other than NA they have pretty much all be way above normal.

seems like up here in vt most of the winter has been 0 or below, had -14 this morning and warms up to about 20.  I like winter done some snowmobiling this year  :banana:  but kinda ready for the summer to get here, sick of the below 0 crap then warming up to 40 in 5 days.  crazy weather all over the country this year

I like how everyone tries to determine the average temperature of the entire planet using one thermometer located in their backyard during a few of the coldest days in February.

I like how everyone freaks out about things they know knothing about.

They used to say live and let live. (you know they did, you know they did, you know they did.)
But if the ever changing world we live in, makes you give in and cry, say LIVE AND LET DIE. (Baow, Ba Baow...)

It was real but it's all better now.  November 8 2008 was the moment that the oceans began to rise and the planet began to heal.  ;)

What's a little snow? Over the past few years, we've had our share...

30 inches.


30+ inches.


This Ford F-350 Diesel got stuck in three feet of snow. Needed my snow blower and my Jeep to get him out. The driver, being a knucklehead, attempted to get through again. He got stuck again. This time, I left him to his own devices. I drove my neighbor to the pharmacy, to get insulin. Obviously, FedX wasn't delivering it for a while....




33 inches.


30+ inches that white mound to the left is my daughter's Mitsubishi.

Yes it has already ended here. The little we saw of it.
They're casting their bait over there, see?

My dogs are telling me spring is getting near by the amount of hair they are shedding. Used to be I could sweep up every 2 days or so. Now I can sweep every day and each day Im getting enough dog hair swept up I could knit a new dog

It's 40 right now and I'm about to take the cover off my motorcycle and go for a ride.
