Finally heading to the property today for the first time since the cold snap and snow hit. I hope to find things OK, needless to say. I always turn the water off before I leave, and as I have mentioned several times I have a 75W light bulb on under the sink area. Heat is left on at lowest setting, which is 55°. I expect a whopper of an electric bill with 2 weeks of 0° temperatures and a forced air electric furnace. My main purpose is to walk the 47 acres and identify all of the main deer travel corridors (the snow makes it easy), especially those in the wooded sections, and find good places to put up new deer stands.
Today is going to be another one of those long days. Awake at 3:45 and out of bed at 4:15.
Well we start the thaw today. High is supposed to be 37. Then a little warmer each day all the way up to 70 by Thursday. From -1 to 70 in a week.
I personally like it in the 70's.
Don't like negative numbers at all.
Hey way, about 20 years ago we were at 68 one day and 24 hours later it was -8 a 76 degree difference......we lost a lot of trees and outdoor plants that year.
.....can't figure out why they are all over Cruz so bad...... hell he's the smart one.....he said I'm outa dis chit mon....... heading to Mexico...... Wish I was smart enough to head south.... we was heading south but the truck ran out of gas here 30 years ago and somehow we stuck around.....

I came to Ft Worth in 78 to be the best man in a wedding. Had such a good time I flew home packed up and drove back the next day. Been here ever since.
Kinda miss that spontaneous, do what I want attitude......... Kinda like this guy.......
The thaw might be starting. I saw 31° at the property yesterday, and it's a balmy 9° this morning. Today's forecast high is 40°, yee haw! It was sunny with no wind yesterday so there was a lot of snow melt and settling. I was crunching through a thick crusty layer this morning when I put the ear of corn on the squirrel feeder. It's time for this crap to go away and for Spring to arrive! The male cardinals were singing this morning like they think it has already arrived. The females aren't showing any inclination of interest yet.
....sooo did you go check out the C7 to make sure it was what you wanted? If they are delivering then you must have given it the starting nod.....
..and uh.... I think that is a 550 Custom in the pic......... this was the 650........ just saying ..... you know I'm kinda a Honda freak......
Went in to help my good friend load up his 57 Cheby today...... It runs and moves kinda.....needs a lot of TLC.... He put in a 6.0 engine out of a 05 Silverado that was wrecked.... discs all the way around and a 9" ford rear...... sounds real good.... has a lot of time in it....... while there I was drooling all over dis 63 with custom frame and C6 underpinnings and a 525 hp LS3........ I want that in my shop......and I want it now..... only a $100 large keeping us apart..... she's a heartbreaker....... love the color and the interior is hot red leather that feels like butter......... Tremec 5 speed..... what the hell is not to love there kids? other than the price......
.....I'll bet the women used to just flock to you when you were not riding your scooter...... like when you pulled up on your Honda in front of a cool Honda biker bar......

They do great during our normal winter but fear it got too cold for them this time.
Wish I was smart enough to head south.... we was heading south but the truck ran out of gas here 30 years ago and somehow we stuck around.....
