Good Morning Friends,

     Watched weather on tv little while ago.  Predicting "spring like" all week!  Said 49 deg for this Thurs...

     Hunted deer yesterday and no problem keeping the powder dry w/flintlocks!  I managed to kill a 3 inch maple sapling on the way to a one horned 5 point buck!  Only 35 yd shot, but never saw the sapling.  Rottin' way to break in my new custom flinter!!  Son's 14 yr old friend did take a young doe, so our crew didn't come home empty handed.  Happy to see the youngen succeed after a few misses in his short 3rd season of hunting.  Sure do enjoy our PA flintlock season.  More states should adopt this type season.  Is great fun! 

     Our crew will spend the afternoon splitting a dump truck load a fire wood for our dear farmer friend.  A very good friend of many yrs and battling cancer for some time now.  Got recent results of his tests and not looking good....  Feel awful about that. 

     His son has a Timberwolf firewood processor and me and buddies can't wait to see how it operates!  Certainly not affordable for us home owners. 

     A light sweat shirt and perhaps a cold brewski afterwards should top off this fine day!

Bill,
   Sorry to hear about your good friend's struggles. It's terribly hard on everyone involved watching a loved one go through that.
Wish ya' weren't so far away. I'd like to see that processor in operation too. And a cold beer really hits the spot after hard work!

   Marty

This has been one crazy weather pattern this winter. Its gonna be a short winter this year in NW Ohio anyway even if it does get crappy now. I haven't even got to test my new boiler in the really cold weather yet , but i am sure i will at some point.

Friends,

    Sorry to go off topic here, but must say that firewood processor is cat's meowwww!  Filled 5 ton dump truck in a little over 1/2 hr.  Beyond impressed!  And that was with 2 minutes worth of instruction and 4 amateurs at the controls! 

    Was akin to shaking hands with a super model and knowing it wasn't EVER going to go any where beyond that!!

Was mid 50's again today. I saw some guys planting grass today and then later someone putting drainage tile in a field with a tile plow. Not something I have ever seen being done in January before.  Lol

It is going to be 9 F tonight in IL and 50 F on Monday.  We got about 3-4 inches of snow yesterday.  I don't have my Hardy H2 hooked up yet but I have to say I haven't used very much propane this year!

A high of 5 below (F) today.  Maybe it can stay like that for a week or so and then start to get cold!

Froze my nuggets off yesterday cleaning up outside, last night\early this morning I had rain and a thunderstorm go over my house.  Woke me up with the thunder!  Turns cold this afternoon with snow by tonight.  What the hell is going on?  Crazy weather is an understatement.

this 40 to 60 deg weather here in ky makes it hard to keep a bed of coals in the stove.then all at once it well drop down in the low 20s and eat some wood.

Not as warm as most of you guys..But due to the lack of snow..Fired up the chain with some buddies and started cutting my parents firewood..Usually don't do that May! Crazy..I should be out on the snowmobile!

Finally some snow.  4" here at my house, looks like most everyone got 3-6".  Forecast was for "little to no" accumulation lol

It's nice to see it, a couple winters ago we got over 100" for the year and we've probably not had 10-12" all winter long.

A couple weeks ago they were saying we could get like 12-18" from one storm, don't know where it went but ironic we get our biggest snow when they say nothing is coming

We got 2" of snow yesterday/night.  It was 12 deg this morning when I filled my stove and it's supposed to get up to 41 today.  It will be in the 60's by mid week.  Weird...
