Cold Miser

F.uck Florida. I've been to Florida 5 times. Each of those 5 times I was there in October. ...4 times in Orlando, and one time in Pensacola (6 total if you count the few hours of time in early November, docked near Coco Beach before the cruise I was on continued on to the Bahamas). Each of those times it was really f.ucking hot, and really fu.cking flat and uninteresting. I thought Pensacola was o.k., but not a place I'd want to live. Some extra random, notable things about the trips....One time flying in there was a hurricane that could be viewed outside the airplane window. That was cool as hell to see from above. (I keep wanting to say hurricane Floyd, but I think it was a gulf-centric storm). Another time I saw a shuttle launch all the way from on a boat in the middle of the lake at downtown Disney. Seeing the ball of fire blasting into space was pretty bad-ass. During the Pensacola trip it was after a massive oil spill, and the coastal areas were desperate for business. The area had just re-opened, and there were still small balls of oil washing up on shore. This was months after the spill. Wild sh.it.

Big problem, meaning?

What took you so long?

...You will never catch it.

Snow's kryptonite zone around my county. Par for the course in late March.

Wow. That's the most I've seen for cost.

To be fair, sometimes it's hard to know what is recent, and what may be from a while back. This photo was taken this morning in the Adirondacks.

Where do you have the undercoat done? ...At your mechanic? What do they charge, and type of vehicle?

...That's what she said.

Beware the Ides of March, with Spring sun and banana hammocks galore.

Me, or the over loaded van?

Caught this van on my dash cam. At what point does a painter decide that a regular size cargo van ain't the correct vehicle to be shuffling 14 or so ladders back and forth?

I follow a Maine Snowmobile page, and people are wrapping it up this week, even up north. Sure, you can find some snow in the woods, but getting there, in and out with the sled there are some real sh.it zones...bear dirt, and mud.

...Wet dry vacuum.

Exactly 100" for me when I was down the road in Brooklyn. I may even have sold my self short an inch or 2. Those winter seasons have dissappeared faster than my hair after college, and there's no getting them back.

Indeed. My bad.

Fog on Lava Lake

ahhhh, the ever so elusive, and crowd favorite. The late winter rain jack.

I don't think I hit 60. High 50s

The great thing about internet forums, like tv and radio channels you can scroll past, or change them.

We get an extra month of sh.itty, April - like weather. Morch = Maypril. Sucks.

...and smilin' all the while.

I think we're due to fire up the met spring discussion.
