While I know that it will be gone by Friday afternoon, we have about three inches of new snow on the ground. It got down to ~15 last night, and even Buster knew that it was a good night to stay inside. In about 45 minutes, I'll be running them out to the lake to run and venture into the lake to...

I saw this riddle elsewhere, but thought some of you might actually know the answer. This isn't difficult if you study it for a few minutes. Good luck! If you have four turtles and three aliens came in and cooked ten pancakes with two eggs and then had seven babies each, how many cats are left? Sign in to see full entry.
There are days when I think about moving back to Florida, today being one. It was 19 last night, and we accumulated another inch or so of new snow. Depending on to whom you listen, it will get down to 15 tonight. It's been a long and weary winter. I need some warmth and sunshine! The back trails... Sign in to see full entry.

A busy day behind me. I got some stuff moved from one area of the garage to another as I prep for a lot of work I want done out there. By building a twenty foot east-west partition, I can eliminate a bad breeze from entering the house in the winter. I can build in 'dog doors' next to the 'people... Sign in to see full entry.

As I sat down here to do some work, a steady rain took over, and the snow was gone within ten minutes. I'm hearing that the snow side may push back a bit later in the... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't want to say I got bored, but I decided I had to leave the house, our idiot governor be damned. I traveled over to Marquette and met a friend of mine from over that way in a park in the Marquette Bay. We were about to head into a winter storm warning, and I wanted to catch Superior having a...

Well, I got a knock on my front door while I was in my 'lower level office,' commonly known as the basement. By the time I got up the two flights of steps and across the forty foot length from the back door to the front, the person(s) had made a clean getaway. As I looked out, I saw a small bag of...

LOL. I open my mouth and what happens? A pastor had a problem getting his Easter sunrise service to stream. Fortunately, his church was less than two blocks down the way, and I got there in time to 'save the day.' I ended up staying for the 6AM service and then the 9AM service. It was worth the time...

It's a cold and quiet morning here. The coming week appears to be following a yo-yo pattern of highs near 50 and then highs of 34 all the next ten days. Most people here have been bottled up all winter, looking out the window, waiting for a break in the weather that never really came. Those folks... Sign in to see full entry.
