Welp, back here for another winter of tracking.  I believe this is my 14th winter tracking storms on the internet.  This year I'll need more distraction than usual because my wife died back in August and now I'm a single parent of two small kids (2 and 4) .  Hopefully mother nature can throw me a bone.  

I am so sorry to hear this news. As a parent myself my heart hurts for you. Those two small kids will help you through this. I will be keeping you all in my thoughts. *hugs*

I just put together this big pot of veggie soup for dinner. Will add in some pasta before eating but oh it smells and tastes so good.

We will be expecting to see something like this 

Anyone on here who puts up even close to what is in this photo, send me directions and will bring the J family by in the family truckster!

Hope everyone had a good day. Mr.J does not care for Turkey and we have not celebrated a traditional Thanksgiving day in years. So this year we had shrimp and grits.

OK, somehow that looks like a meal bizarro-world @Mrs.J might concoct (or she'd have to be high on acid)!!

(with all due respect, Mrs. J, all in humor here!) 

Why the hell are there chicken di*&S on that plate! I would use better sausage than that

Hello Mrs. J!!  I hope you are well!  That's cool...snowing!!!  I've heard there are some good snow showers going on in my home town up in northeast Ohio.

Doing quite well. How are you doing?
Not quite ready for the snow here. But it is getting close to that time. 

Just took the trash out and it is snowing!

In between the light flickers got this pizza made. 

The wind just kicked up big time, and the lights are flickering. And rain is coming in too.

Just spent the last half hour building a turtle platform. The younger Miss J has a 9" long Red Eared slider, got it from a friend who no longer could take care of it. Anyways she is a big turtle and her current set up was not working for baskin. Got a piece of plexi made some cuts, drilled some holes and she added some river rocks for traction. She is installing it now. Our house is a darn zoo!

Just moved from Remington, VA to a new log home off of Harpers Ferry Road in western Loudoun.  Can someone recommend which Davis weather station is the best bang for the buck.  I wuld really appreciate it.

I have the Davis Vantage Vue but it is an older model. There was someone on here that got a new one recently that is everything contained in a cylinder housing. Forget what the name of it was. 

And I know the area you are in. I used to drive that stretch of road over from MD to get to Round Hill, VA until we moved my daughters pony south of Lovettesville. 

So Mr. J was unable to find chicken legs at our local Co-op when doing shopping last week. And he forgot to move them to another stores list, so no chicken legs that I needed for dinner. 

But wait! The Recipe queen has pulled a fast one and came up with a substitute. He did get a couple packs of Boneless skinless thighs as they were a managers special and were being sold half off. I had just thrown them in the freezer to use at sometime. Also have an extra pack of bacon on hand and some chicken scratch... so came up with bacon wrapped chicken thighs for dinner tonight. It's like pantry raider meets the freezer! Stay tuned for my ad lib meal. 

Who wants COOKIES!!!!

So far 2.16” since yesterday 

1.76" over here in Frederick. We have been getting dumped on for the past 30 min. 

Found a new ramen recipe.

Hello there, Mrs. J!!  How are you my friend?  What amazing photos!  I was in Chincoteague around mid-August, hope you had a great time there!  The sunsets from Chincoteague were amazing!!

Doing good. Had a mental health break out there. Lucked out with fantastic weather for late October. Love your photos above! 

Last night on Chincoteague for a much needed mental health break. Rented a house on the Bay on the Northern end of the island. Have enjoyed some nice warm weather. Some beautiful sunsets and skies on fire. Finished off the week with a brought in shellfish feast of which there was nothing left. 
 

Out vacationing on Chincoteague this week. Thanks to online schooling we can do a get away in October. And renting a house to stay distanced. After the fog burned off around noon turned into a an absolutely beautiful day for October 20th. Headed out to the beach around 3. Never thought it would be near 70 on Assateague. The Miss J's were wading in the ocean and we took a nice long walk up the beach. Thought we were going to get a nice sunset but the marine layer rolled on in. We are on the bay side up the neck.

So I am late to the game and have never done this before. But besides my love of cooking I also have a piece of paper that says I can charge more for my art. The youngest Miss J asked me to do Inktober with her this year. First day prompt was Fish. 
 

Happy Fall!

i dont have any screens because my family is insane.  Now I have flies.

We get that because we leave the slider screen door open so the cats have access to the Catio. They like to go in and then back out. They are passed out in it now. 

B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. out!

Took at trail ride at 9:30 and the horses were fresh in the cool autumn air. Still sitting in my house is jeans and a hooded sweatshirt.

Is that Red Gate?  My daughter rides there

Yes it is. We were supposed to show at Sandstone last weekend but her pony decided to pull a shoe. So we did Red Gate this weekend to make up for it. Beautiful facility and it was a beautiful day to show yesterday.
