Good morning!!!!

[300UGUY]

Freezing rain for a couple of days, then back down to 0. Nice, it will make Michigan a giant ice cube.

Good Afternoon. 1215, cloudy, 75* with 83% humidity. Forecast high of 77* with 20% chance of rain.

Nice looking bear Wayne. Twenty years ago when I was young and dumb, {as opposed to old and dumb today} I hunted on St Joe Timber Company land on Four Mile Creek. My friend lived nearby and I would park at his house and walk through the woods. The only problem was I had to cut across some posted land, or wade the creek. Did I mention being young and dumb? One day I was sneaking along on the posted land, trying to be as quiet as possible, when I saw a big deer track. I got down on one knee to have a closer look. All of a sudden it sounded like about twenty men rushing me. I took off running through the swamp, leaving my rifle behind. After about ten yards I knew I had pulled my hamstring and had to stop. I heard the noise again, but this time I saw a young sow bear beating a bunch of palmetto bushes with her front paws. I had surprised her and her cub and she was letting me know I should leave. I had never been so relieved to see a bear in my life. {in Florida it is a felony to trespass with a firearm} I limped back and got my rifle and started the long slow trip back to my truck. Not long after that we cut a tree down across the creek so we didn't have to go on posted land, or get wet.

Nice story Larro! This bear, scare face comes every year to get the bird seeds. One has to wonder how something that weighs over 300 pounds can gain weight eating a pound or so of bird seed. He's a smart one though and we put up with him for sure. Very little posted land around us and we let hunters pass although it is always nice for them to ask. As for the bear here are a couple more pics.

a rather balmy sixty two degrees here, about all it's going up to as a wall of water is headed at us for later tonight.
But I had to spend some time outside so I washed both the Golf and the Suburban. Hmmm, wonder why those stitches are a little
twingey now?

Sat down with a nice mug of coffee and have put my feet up, figuratively. I think the vacuum cleaner will last one more day so i'm safe to put off vacuuming to tomorrow... Going to be raining then too apparently.

You just don't want to do too much in one day.
that's my story and I'm sticking to it

we may be getting rain tonight but Northern Maine is getting 8-12 inches. Just a dusting for them.
I wonder how 4Shorts is doing with his plowing activities with all these storms going through.

48 this morning high mid 60s time for ride with top down. Going to order back splash tile for bathroom we did a year or so ago reorder under counter lights for kitchen since original order cannot be filled due to manufacturing issues(plant moving). Need to find 3x12 cherry heat vents, not having much luck. Good morning

Try this outfit. It says 3x12 cherry is available. Don't have experience ordering from them...

25*F, calm and cloudy. Up to 1/2" of ice tonight and tomorrow are still a possibility. Maybe I should dig out an extra fuel can for the generator.

dave1949--Did you happen to live there for the Great Ice Storm of 1998? Might have been 1997. Power was out for two weeks for many people and a bazillion trees were bent over back to the ground. Power lines down everywhere, trees across all the roads and if you couldn't take care of yourself you didn't get taken care of. Point is, get the extra fuel can.
