Good morning!!!!

62F and raining. Costco run today. For us that is a 160 mile round trip. Don't go too often, plan around buying dog food. Will pickup 6 of the 40 pound bags today. Stop at Mickey D's for coffee and a bite on way over, shop, lunch in Waimea, likely at the Chinese buffet, then home to unload/unpack. A full day and big check.

Supposed to get some snow on Friday

I hope not too much...my wife and I are supposed to drive over to Harrisburg on Friday.

Roy, When you moved to Vermont did you have to make improvements to your vehicles? My recollections of visiting winter Vermont is that some of the back roads aren't the very best.

Well, the roads here are a lot like West Virginia, but less curves...

There's a lot of frost heaving. Most of the side roads are dirt or gravel. I think living on a paved road is a real luxury in Vermont!

So I hear...what kind of muck boots do you have?

Chippewa highs logging thread for that extra grip inside the boot theres a warning label..Maybe Harmful to your HEALTH if worn on Mrs. clean floor.

Thomas is so right about mud season. It keeps with our 4-season theme in New England. They are early winter (snow) Lots of Snow, More Snow and finally Mud Season (that brings along the black flies and mosquitos) Oh just can't wait until mud season comes along. Heading toward 12 below tonight and we might hit 10 above tomorrow!!

Guess we don't have to worry about mud season today!!
It's currently -17 degrees and clear. Fortunately, no wind! The predicted high is 6 degrees and sunny...meaning it'll stay cold.

My wife tells me we're supposed to get a storm Friday or Saturday. Not according to the Weather Channel.com Anyone hearing different?

Roy---MINUS 17 DEGREES !!!??? It's a toasty 3 above zero here right now and we got two inches of new powder snow last night. Finally got the issue of the deed resolved so the place is in my name now, when I built on and remodeled I purchased Schlage locks for the doors in part because they can be rekeyed with a simple $14 kit that will do six locks. Did that yesterday upon learning deed transfer had been completed.

Glad I don't have to go anyplace today, enjoy your Thursday everyone.

Roy---MINUS 17 DEGREES !!!???

We had -17 (give or take) about a week or so back too. Just gotta dress right.
