A great day to slow roast a 15lb Turkey in the oven.  Rain falling outside " The Hobbit, an unexpected journey" on tv, and the house smells like Thanksgiving.  I feast today, and the mosquitos feast tomorrow.

For all the Pittsburgh Penguins fans out there

You can stick around. People can and do post in the spring and summer. It was nice to get a day above 60 yesterday, and nice to have a morning that wasn't freezing. I like four seasons. Spring is one of the four I very much like.

#1 Fall, #2 winter, #3 spring, #4 summer.  I'm not a fan of anything over 80.  If at any point we have something tropical threatening the east coast I'll be back in.  

Sure is quiet around here.  I guess that's a wrap, see you in the fall.

i don't hate my brackets so far.  zags in one, duke in another.  still have all my elite 8s...for now.

I had Villanova beating duke in the finals.  Other then that I'm good.

I liked Iowa State to win a couple, but had them getting beat by Kentucky in the sweet 16.  A little surprised the suckeyes beat them.

After my New England ski trip, including a powder day yesterday at Mt Snow, I'm finally ready for spring. Bring on the 60s and 70s.

I hear you man!  I'm ready to get out there and do a little yard work and swat some skeeters while I'm watching the sunset with a glass of ice tea

I went 20-12 in the first round, but I still have 7 of my Elite 8 teams and 12 sweet 16 teams left in the fight.  I took a big gamble and went with Villanova repeating this year.  Yes I have a 6 seed team beating Duke in the finals

My grade was based on what I would like to see, not climo.  If I crushed my climo by 10" with 1 storm in December and it didn't snow again the rest of the winter I would see it as a fail.  All of the standing water around my house from the rain rarely had ice on it.....fail.  Any snow that fell was gone the next day.....fail

This winter was a fail in my book.  It showed a  lack of effort, and never lived up to it's potential.  

Might need one these to get to work

The swamps of baltimore county are swampier then ever tonight

Unfortunately Duke looks like a national champion heading into the tournament.  

A healthy Duke does look tough to beat, but I think Michigan takes it all.

Anyone staying up for the Euro?  Just checking.

I'm watching the Michigan vs Iowa game then calling it a night.   Piss on the Euro......I've given up

It's a chocolate lab...how can you tell?

Well, it sure isn't because it smells like chocolate when he drops a deuce in the backyard.

I long for the day when I don't have to wipe the mud off the paws of my chocolate lab before he comes inside.  I could go for a couple weeks of no precip of any kind.

I just took a trek to the back part of my property yesterday to throw some larvacide dunks in my 'protected woodland wetland'. It is a bit more expansive this year. The perfect mosquito breeding ground. I have already decided after last summer I am buying a professional sprayer, so I can do a pro larvacide job and also deal with the inevitable rounds of adults through the late spring and into summer.

Good luck!!

I'm looking forward to the mosquito feeding frenzy that's gonna be kicking off soon.  F#$% this winter

This was posted in the NE forum. This is pretty much perfection. Unbelievable.

Oh canada

That would be great, eh.  

I'm liking the forecast for Friday with a high of 64 and a chance of thunderstorms.  I'm tired of failing this winter, bring on the thunderstorms!

So this is how my weekend started at 5 am this morning. My beater, AKA Dog Mobile, took a hit. Guy sideswiped one of my neighbors cars before plowing into my neighbors second car which ended up resting on top of my car. Thankfully he wasn't hurt but I have a feeling my car may have seen its last days (thinking it will be totaled) as well as possibly my neighbors second car. Have had that Cavalier since 2002 and the only major money I ever put into it was for a rusted tail pipe. Even though it looked a little rough I loved that car, had a stick and was much easier on gas then my pickup. Have to now decide whether it is worth reinvesting in a 3rd vehicle again. The weekend can only improve from here, Right?

 

 

 

That should buff right out

What's the best place in the US to move with the following criteria:

1) Serious snowfall and snowcover

2) Extended stretches of cold

3) Access to at least a regional airport within 45 mins.

4) Somewhat built-up, at least a small city nearby.

Marquette,MI or Gaylord, MI would be a great spot.  Both of them are in the heart if the michigan lake effect snow belts.  If you like snowmobiling, they have hundreds of miles of groomed trails for sledding.  I grew up in michigan and have a lot of great memories from the awesome winters.  And the icefishing....probably my favorite.
