Temps are going to be up in the 30's the next four days here.  Time to break out the shorts!  <:-)

40s here for Thursday and Friday with rain to wash away all the salt, etc. But I fear it will be back...it's still early winter :/

I've been waiting for that to happen for 40 years.

He said have another drink.  I did.  I said it was passing well.

I told my wife don't piss me off.

The house hangs in an uneasy balance.

Hawaii dog has learned the term, "quick potty" and seems to have embraced it.  A pupperoni post-pee/poo has been a real motivator.

Rough day.  Scotch slowly making better.  Slowly...need more. Need mooooore.

I hope you soon get back ...to what seems to be , from reading these threads ...your ugg wearing , sea surfing self  O0  And I live in a house that's nearly 200 years old , and it's a sumbitch to try to warm the place up  :pullhair: As soon as the temperature outside begins to hover anywhere around 0 ...it may as well be like living on a friggin ice shelf !

4F when I headed out for my run this morning.  Besides being dressed for the cold, if I had the urge to rob a 7-11 along the way, I was prepared.

Now that I'm done with my run, I'm going stay inside the rest of the day and read the rules to Rifles in the Ardennes.



Trailrunner ....you look set to rob the 7-11, not just be thinking about it ! ;D Don't do it dude ...you'll get arrested , and you'll miss the trails ! Lol  :D hope your game went well  O0

I spent Saturday with the wife at Busch Gardens in Tampa. It was so cold there, the Kangaroos were jumping into each others pouches to stay warm. I saw an Elephant grab a Giraffe with his trunk and stand behind him to stay out of the wind. The Monkeys were throwing pooh at us trying to get us to throw our coats back at them. And the guy at the Snowcone stand... had no one to talk to. After that, I needed a Busch.

Snow and ice over night, schools are closed.  But it's 33 out now.  +1!!!!!

We're supposed to see over 50 one day this week, then slide back down to below freezing this weekend.

we set records here for consecutive days below freezing

Our normal temp spread this time of year is low-50s to mid-30s.  We've had 9 days of highs in the 20s and lows in the single digits.
