Many people have died on that cross up here over the years.

Played my first round today after not having swung a club since last season ended in October. It was like a spaghetti western, the good, the bad and the ugly. I ended the round with a 20’ putt to save par in 18 and ended up winning $7 or $8 on the day which is a good day with stakes we play for. The most important thing to come out of the day is that I didn’t hurt myself. That’s always a huge accomplishment for the first tome out.

Lol I was thinking the same thing. They are smart enough to know where the insects are and they’re hammering away on the wood siding, hmmmmm.

Speaking of wildlife. Had a porcupine in my backyard yesterday. Waddled over for the neighbors and then climbed up a big tree and sat there the rest of the day. Gone this morning.

Ivory-billed. It's a miracle

Wind stayed up for a good portion of the night. When it went calm at MPV they dropped to 31°. Up to 41° now

That didn't take long

Is the damned wind going to stop? Looks beautiful outside, sunny with blue skies. And then you notice the trees swaying back and forth and a temp of 42°.

It's comforting in these unprecedented chaotic and turbulent times that we can still count on our regular temp/dew/ACATT back and forths to bring a sense of normalcy and stability.

Wind stayed up a little for a good part of the night here but the temp dropped to 27° when it went calm.

If I hadn't been away from work most of today, the drive would not put me off. I enjoy road trips. Probably would gas up before I left, sanitized myself and then not stopped until I got to the course, waved at Runnaway from a socially acceptable distance, stayed an acceptable distance from him the entire round (mainly because my ball would be in the rough/woods/adjacent fairways most of the time) got back in my car drive straight home and then immediately hop in a tub of sanitizer, which would sting many areas. All in the name of fun!

Walked our course with the new owner and new pro today showing them around. Other than brutal wind and sub-40° temps, it was gorgeous. Unfortunately I am no longer in the position of being able to offer free golf to people or the invite would have been there.

If only I could make the drive

The views of the Spine and the Worcester Range from 89 were spectacular today. I wish I could have taken a picture

Wish we had the middle finger emoji to respond to posts like these.

Other than a few oddballs, I think most of us truly like seasons in season. I like variability, for the most part so I wouldn't want three straight months of HHH but it can be enjoyable. For the record, I wouldn't want year round winter either.

This is Exit 7 on I-89 on the hill above Montpelier

Beautiful morning. As much as I want warmer days, you can’t deny the beauty of a snow covered landscape lit up by sunshine.

At least you saw 60. Our high was 52 and now we have 2” on the ground.

Nearly 2” on this lovely Mayuary evening.

For once, I stand with Dews.

Pounding snow. Trees covered, ground covered, road covered. Yay?

It says the Silverado 1500 has a payload of 1750 lbs minimum. A yard of dirt weighs 1080 lbs according to the Google

Yes, that looks about right judging by what's outside my window
