It appears today will be one of those days where we will be at the bottom of the temperature yo-yo we will have all this week. High of 34 today, but 45 tomorrow. We get caught between the push and shove of barometric pressures from Lake Superior and Lakes Michigan and Huron. The wind comes hard from... Sign in to see full entry.

It might be a nice day here as Spring and warmer weather try one more time to poke its head into the UP. I have friends in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin who are also ready for a warm up, no matter how small, to happen. The wildlife in the area is beginning act like it's spring. I'm not 100%...

This will be a quiet day for me. This was the last day I actually had my wife with me. This photo was taken about early October of 2017. It was one of the last times that Judy was actually active enough to go out into the forest with me and the dogs. Her apparent happiness was displayed in one of... Sign in to see full entry.

Sorry about such a late appearance to the Blog-It scene today. Too many calls from people that mean nothing to me shy of being a leech of my time. I did get one call worth taking from a website that has been following some of my posts elsewhere. They wondered if I would be interested in doing a... Sign in to see full entry.

As I've gone through my tens of thousands of photos of the Upper Peninsula and from my time in Florida, I've decided that I just follow up on urgings I've heard here and elsewhere to make an ebook of maybe 40 to 50 select photos I've collected over the years. A tentative title might be, 'The Beauty... Sign in to see full entry.
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.

I get people who 'doubt' my word when I tell them about the height of Superior waves. This just came in: Sign in to see full entry.
