Oh,that rotten FFred has been most kind by bringing in the Ceremonial Spring Woolrich Sock Filter in order to Usher In Your Rebirth Spring Coffee! If Da' Crocus's And Daffodil's Are A Poppin',Well,So Will You After Yet Another Epic Breakfast Experience at Da' House That The Mainah Built! Today's "Price Of Admission" You Might Ask??

Top of the morning guys! Great coffee HB!!! April showers for sure, today is the only dry day in the weekly forecast. Still working on splitting the trees I had taken down, almost all cleaned up. Crazy weather for sure mid twenties to mid seventies on Wednesday of this week. I hope everyone has a smooth weekend!

Don’t worry HB your summer home on the bay will be once again in full swing😎.
Nice 32° this morning here at Geneva SP lots warmer then what we have been waking up to on our previous winter camping weekends 🥶.

Good grief, this is a Whopper of a way to start the day! I'll have a couple of those beautiful buckwheat pancakes drenched in Ffred's hand churned buttah, and nuthin' like this years maple syrup. Nice!

March out like a lamb? Not this year.... it was in like a lion & out like a lion on a leash. Geeeze....one darn cold & wet month.

OK folks.... forward we go!

Ahhhh pancakes! Almost as good as bacon.

March was cold and windy for sure.... glad to see April minus the snow that is falling this morning, only to melt this afternoon leaving mud.

I have a lot of green ash I have to cut up this year so yesterday, today Im making my main wagon taller to hold a couple cords of the bug infested stuff. I already learned not to let it stand dead too long as it gets pretty hard to split then, turns rock hard. I use an ax so it matters.

Have a good one!

x2!

I had to drive home 50 miles last night in nothing but snow and slush. That's what I get for taking the snow tires off a week early. :annoyed: Oh well, I must say that the new Goodyear Eagles I had put on did an excellent job. This morning we are in the high 20's with a strong Northwest wind. I have our heat pump on to stretch my coal until I can get over to dads house this weekend for the last ton of the season.
