Horray - It's all downhill from here...

Re: Horray - It\'s all downhill from here...

Thomas,

Part of why I love the winter is just what you said. Once I'm done clearing the driveway, chopping the firewood, shovelling the sidewalks....I can go inside and sit by the wood stove, have a nice cup of hot anything and enjoy the cozy comforts of home. I must admit though that I completely left out the wind from my "I love winter" speech!!!/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif If it is windy I just stay inside. I really do not like wind!!!

<font color=blue>You obviously don't have livestock to care for Kevin</font color=blue>

That would be a good call Richard!! /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif I grew up on a large acreage with chickens and turkeys which are indoors and I'm sure tending to horses and cows in miserable winter conditions must be very harsh!

Although I must add that I honestly don't mind cold weather as long as I can dress for it. Good boots, gloves, headgear, a decent pair of insulated coveralls and all the required long undies....and I'm good to go!!

Plus I'm hoping for more snow not just for more tractor time! It's been so dry here the last couple of years that we NEED the moisture. Doesn't hurt if you're trying to do a little snowmobiling too /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif.

You're right Thomas, I forgot about that! I guess I try to push the "Joy of Mud" out of my mind every year. It's just something we have to put up with in order to get to REAL spring. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Happy Birthday, Dave!!!! 46? I got one on you! 46 is easy, 47 is tougher!! I think 50 may be a little tougher than that./w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif

Nope, 50's easy, but you may find yourself slowing down noticeably a decade later./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Thanks Rich!

Be sure to report back here when you do the big Five /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gifh! I want to be prepared for that one /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif.

Bird, I've always considered you ageless!!! If you've slowed down when you hit 60, then you must have been a whirlwind before!! You do more things than most people in their 20's!!!

For those of us in our 50's right now, Bird, that's not much of a pep talk. /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif

Sorry about that, Harv. Of course you realize that it may not be the age that's the problem; may be the high mileage or too many hours on the hourmeter./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
