Diesel truck won't start so I'm stuck home with the girls til it warms up.

Went pheasant hunting around home yesterday, poor shooting made sure plenty of seed stock will be around next year.

What's everyone else doing during the blizzard/cold?

When you are a Donner survivor, the phrase Cabin Fever takes on a whole new meaning.

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

working

I almost got the drive shaft back in the 4wd expedition before I had to go to work this morning

got the last of the parts earlier this week in the mail , put the new U-joint in this morning sure went in a lot easier than the old one came out of the junk yard drive shaft.

wish I would have started soaking that with penetratingly oil last Thursday when I got it , but over night in a bath of penetratingly oil worked

was banging out the Ujoint at 5:30 this morning , woke the wife up , too bad

when I get off work a roll in the snow to tighten down the last 2 bolts and off for a test drive.

Thawing out and unloading the truck from our Marten, Fisher and cat trip. The garage floor is soaking wet and it smells like Castor in there.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Tinkering in the shop. Cleaning up some of my trapping gear and doing some minor repairs. Finished up what little furs I had left to do. Took out my turkey tail and wings this morning to thaw out, plan on pinning them out to dry so I can mount them to a board.

Well, heifers water line froze so I borrowed my dad's truck to move heifers to the other end of the farm, was outside for 2 hours and I think that's going to be a wrap for today, I'm cold. Its -9 right now but the wind is picking up, the wind makes it a bit tough to be out.

I'm holed up, not going out unless I have too. I retired the speedo till spring, have a bag of chips, a frozen pizza, and a glass that's dead even half full half empty. grin

Going out every couple hours to keep the back door from drifting tight. Will blow snow tomorrow. Not a lot of snow but the wind is finding places to drop several drifts that will need to be removed. We are not that cold yet, but tried some snow shoeing this AM and turned back as the wind just went right through several layers. I wore my waders so most of me was warm but just did not have enough wind proof layers.

Been jumping around today. 0 degrees, then 1 degree, then 0 degrees, then -1 degree the m -2 degrees and finally back to 0 degrees. 15-25 MPH winds. Been toying around. Tried to sled a little but 2 in of snow isn't as much fun as 6 inches!

Got the 1950 Farmall Cub up and running after farting around with it for two days. It's pretty neat the amount of snow you can move with a ten horsepower engine. Six hundred pounds of wheelweights and chains help.

I got a bunch of projects line up before the river thaws out a little next week. looking for more water fur than mountain fur this year. Finished organizing my crawl for seasonal shuffle I do every year (hunting, fishing, climbing, holidays). I have to work on my wall tent a little. Wife and I are going to start on a beaver blanket for the little guy and the new one we found out is on the way. Also have been tying lots of flies. Heading to hawaii for 3 weeks in feb for bones and trevally. This is my last week on my townhome project as well so I have been going hard on the 2mil dollar build. Bosses were happy and gave me another fat bonus.

We have 8 inches of ice here, 2 feet of snow and 10 inches of slush. The lakes are pretty well screwed for the year.

I plowed the driveway today, the arctic blast did not hit here yet. When it does I plan on staying inside. My circulation must be bad, I get cold hands and feet when it's 32 degrees.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

That's almost exactly what I found.
