Mornin'
Thanks for the coffee, HB,.........it hits the spot while I light a 'wood' fire in the Harman to get the chill out. These warm days are making this Winter very mild.......like you say, longer daylight hours....gotta love it!!! Sprint car racing in Florida and Super Bowl in Arizona......that's it for me, take care.
Cheers

Good morning guys. Thanks for the opening HB. Coffee always tastes good at Freddys. We had some winds come thru yesterday so I need to do some clean up today. The ground hog looks to be wrong we hit 71 last week and 50’s and 60’s coming next. Spring baby!!! Garden season is near! Hope everyone has a smooth weekend!

Greetings all my fellow coal crazies. Sap season starts today in the neighborhood. Might be a bust, but we're going to give it a go. It's got to freeze at least once next week to get two runs. If not, we'll just get together and tell the same stories we told last year. So it goes.

Mother Nature has been mixing it up for sure. Good for painting pictures in the sky. One day frozen hands and the next almost tee shirt working weather. Ice melting on the creek so I tapped out burning coal to conserve the Black Gold.

And I thought 30 degrees felt warm! Your all making me jealous except for Fred and the snow.

Ground sausage sounds good. I have to fill a wood rack then Im unsure what I'll do today and we all know whats happening tomorrow. Have a good one!

It is clear and sunny in Chazy, looks like we have a nice day ahead of us.

Don’t get too excited about an early spring. I have seen years where March more than made up for a mild February

I remember all the time hearing "the farmers almanac says......" Don't ever hear about them anymore. I am not saying they don't exist but they used to be the go to for predicting weather.

Morning All!

Coffee and soup for me. I went 9 rounds with the oral surgeon on Thursday. It'll be a few days before I can really eat anything. :what:

Upper 40's into the 50's plus 2 days in the 60's. Winter seems to have checked out for February. Maybe it will roar back in March?

Have a good weekend everyone!
