You two lucked out last weekend.   This weekend should be a heat wave for us.  I smell a crappy weekend coming......

Got another light dusting yesterday, but no real accumulation. Meanwhile in Washington, D.C., traffic FROZE SOLID with one inch of snow. Drivers left their cars after waiting FIVE HOURS for help.

Un-freaking-believable.  :lol:

I don't start thinking it's really winter until at least four inches...driving with bald tires.  :wink:

Driving in the snow is not a problem.  It's the stopping.   :lol:

:lol:  Some of my very best curb-jumping got started like that. I once totaled the front of a Dodge Colt, driving less than 10 m.p.h. in a parking lot. Slid right into a concrete base for a light-pole. Tough to change oil after that, but hey, anybody gunning a lightweight Dodge Colt on an icy parking lot deserves what he gets.   :blink:

LOL...I had a Dodge Cult. :biggrin:

Even though the engine and drive train may have been bullet proof, the rest of the car could be taken out by a bird at 70 MPH on the freeway.
Grill caved in, hood flew up, ripped off the hood, broke the windshield. Actually totaled the car, took my check from State Farm, sold the car to a farmer to use running an orchard.
Bought a damn beat up Ford truck.

Its Sunday, back just in time for football lol.
I feel bad for the east coast.  We got nailed in 2011. To funny, woke up and said oh look honey, we can get out thru the back door,lol. My niece lives in PA,  she's making the best of it getting in and out thru the window. Kids loving it jumping out into snow drifts, laugh in all the way.
Hit the cabin yesterday. Have mercy, I needed a dose of just that.  Sunny, brisk, beautiful day.  Played with Lira, made a right proper fire.   Friends and their new pup came down and stayed.  Brutus is a Shepard baby.  He's trying to be a dominant young man but still riding on the short bus of puppy dumb,he has a few things to learn.  Lira put up with it until he showed the usual pupdumb.  Then she lit and Brutus hid between my friends ankles.  Kinda with that hide me Mom look,lolol.
The river is frozen on the high side.   Its open at the creek mouth but only where the channel runs quick.  Broken chunks and shards of ice every where.  I looked for critter tracks, sometimes you can see coyote, deer tracks.  None of that, sure sign of don't go out there.   So we took up anything the ice out might, put it all on high ground.  I feel bad if our lawn jockey doesn't make it,   it will take a lot of river flooding ice to get to it but still,  I like our lil guy.   Had dinner with them at our fav place.   Very good actually.  Then back to camp, got our attic gear on and hung by the fire. 
Didn't hear any coyote sounds, no critters of any kind were making any noise.  Beautiful ful moon, stars for ever.  A glass of red, laughin , giggling and solving the problems of the world.
I did see the red tails doing their cruise by.  2 juvie eagles tree top level going up river. 
That was cool. Himself saw an adult eagle, drats I missed it while chuck in wood in the fire.  Is ok, next time.  Once ice out comes, we will see more of that.
Ice out will come this week, rain tomorrow and temps above 35 reaching to 40. That bad boy is going to go.

Oh, I had a deal on a matching-color front clip that was too sweet to turn down, so I drove it five more years...until the 4-on-the-floor transmission stick went loopy and I could move it around without getting it into first gear. Wasn't worth a new transmission, so I sold it for parts.

But after owning VW Beetles for years the Colt WAS a nice car. Mitsubishi built the car with a real working heater. You have no idea what a pleasant change it was, not having to scrape the INSIDE of the windshield before getting on the road.

Ahh the days seem to slip by faster then egg whites on glass.
Where did the time go......
I don't really know, it's kind of like trying to figure out just how long it takes for soon to come. Hmmm.
It's officially summer.  Happy Memorial day.

Your wings must be tired, but with the ice thawed and fish a poppin, pull up a rock and throw a log on the fire and tell us all about winter.

Things...have been a little off the charts.  I am learning about family and greed.  I am learning I have one true family and that's my brother. Soon it will be over, well after I find a new attorney, because mine died and I wasn't informed of his inability due to his sudden illness and death until after the fact.   
It's a pretty day.    The river is flowing nicely.  The holiday parties are over.  It was crazy here.  Had a royal storm roll thru night before last.  The tent people made it ok. 
Getting ready to pull off a  Mardi gras party here at camp.  People are getting their masks ready and talking food, lol.   That's the 11th.  That evening, at a local bar, Himself and I have got to slip away and go see a blues guy by the name of Michael Charles.  He is going to play for our august party.  Hails from Australia.  So I'll go in my full Mardi gras gear.  He has some really interesting you tube videos.   My only fear is around here, it's pretty hard core country.    That and how to slip out of here.
Hear 1 set and slip back. Hmmmmm
