Anybody for votin him off the island, with out a canoe? :o

Yes!  And, I don't want anyone that shows their undergotchies on the jury either!  

Swamp, the operative word in your response should be discussing...they were discussing not showing.  BIG difference!

Note to self:  I'm beginning to think some folks may be trying to take advantage of the boss man being laid up....verrrry interesting.

Twenty seven °F in Memphis this morning going down to 15°F in the morning with a wind chill of one °F.  I have no doubt if Al Gore came to town and opened his mouth things would warm up.  Then again if he were to shut his mouth more often, Global Warming would no longer be an issue.   :D :D :D  I do hope the admins consider the last two sentences a joke as they were meant.  I don't want to go to the wood shed.  :-\

The weather doesn't stop some folks.  Last night at about 10 pm I hear a truck at the sawmill.  Wind is blowing snow and about 20F.  I was out earlier piddling in the mill thinking that it seems too cold to be doing this for fun.  Anyway, he unloads about 4500 feet of tree length cedar with his KB.  I would not have wanted to unload with my loader.
I understand though.  He grew up and did a lot of logging in Maine and said this was nice weather to work in.  Looking at the weather report, he is going to have a lot of nice weather to work in for the next few weeks.  This morning it is 14F and the mill is starting at 7AM as usual.  I have a good bit of logs to buck up today.
At least THERE IS NO MUD!!! :D :D

Call me when it's -14, then we'll discuss fun. :D

It's about 50 F this morning and wind driven rain. Not much for snow I'm afraid. Must be time to tap trees again. ;)

+1° here this morning  ;D  ;D  ;D    >:(  >:(  >:(

I still have to clean up some of the snow that fell.
I'm gonna drink my coffee and build up to going outside slowly so as not to shock the system!

I think all I have on my plate today is snow clean up. It may take all day   ::)  ::)

(I'm not gonna pull out my new underwear!)
Why not just 1 pain free day?

 It is raining here also, all that nice snow is melting away, I had my logging trail all packed down and started to freeze  >:(

It's not even winter yet and everyone is complaining. Winter comes tomorrow.  ::) 

If you are feeling bad about your weather, consider Winona, MN where they got 26 inches of snow last Saturday down in that river valley.

And the worst part of that storm is the Metrodome roof went down again. Now the state leaders will probably take some more money they take from us poor taxpayers to build the Vikings a new stadium.  :(

-15 degrees, 22" of snow over the weekend.  Won't be long now and the ice on the lakes will be just right for fishing.

The main river here was just beginning to chill a little last week, but that's all gone now.

     I don't think the cold has started yet.  We've had one mild blizzard and days in the teens and twentys but some days in the high 40's last week.  I just double up the long jons on the cold days and it doesn't bother me much.  Chopping ice at 30 below isn't so bad.  The water freezes before it gets to you, as long as the wind isn't blowing too bad you can stay warm.  When the high is below zero for a couple of weeks it starts to bother me. 
     Sunday it was 9 degrees outside.  I hand split some firewood while the kids played in the snow.  I had to shed some layers because I was getting too hot.  I've always been a summer person really.  But, I spent a few years in the mountains in Wyoming and Colorado and I guess got use to the cold.  Around Walden Colorado we only had 2 months of summer and there were several days of 40 below.  I guess I just got used to it.  But, dressing in layers helps, and a good hat, (stocking hat, elmer fud hat, etc.) don't be afraid to double, or triple up those long jons.  Keep your body core warm and that will help with your hands and feet.  Thats the biggest problem I have.  Sometimes at 40 degrees I loose feeling in my hands, but other times at zero I have good circulation.  Most of the time when its cold I can't feel my feet, but I know theyre still there since I'm still standing and everything's fine. 
     Seriously though, mittens are a lot better than gloves.  When we lived in the mountains, I made a pair of mittens out of chap leather that went over my insulated gloves.  They looked like oven mits and it was difficult to do anything with them, but they sure kept my hands warm.
