Evening DTR. Moved some of the wifes things she had stored to the house and rearranged. Made some stew for dinner tonight. Used beef bones to make the stock for the stew. The dog is in heaven tonight, he has 5 soup bones to take care of now. Going to Ashland Kentucky tomorrow to a hiring event for a RR. Should be back home wednesday night after I stop and see my brother in Bloomington. Its his 23rd birthday friday so i'm gonna stop on my way home to take him out to dinner and give him his gift from the wife and I.

Evenin' All!

Hoverin' around -20* today. Makes it feel like a real winter now. Switched to the bigger coffee mug. Forecast is for -35* or so but the weather guessers seem to be off their game a bit lately.

Went to the gym this AM after I got off and worked out with another guy from work. Felt good. Of course so did the hot shower when I got up feelin a bit stiff.

I'll put on a pot of Foglifter for the night crew. We'll see if anyone takes the bait.

Took a very long nap today so I could lay outside to watch the Leonid meteor shower. Wife and I love that stuff. After last years drama I had a tarp on the ground, mats from the lounge chairs, and another tarp. Dressed in our warmest stuff with a Mayflower shipping tarp over us. Wife went into the house awhile back, said she had to call her mother. That was an hour ago. It is –14f currently so I went in to make sure the TV and tea pot were doing ok. Cold temps can goof them up!!! Gonna go back out in one hour unless sombody brings me some booze. Than its going to be an all nighter. Last time I did this my Carhartts got froze to the ground, luckily the zippers still worked. The shower’s can be wonderful if the temp is right. Let you know!

Good Morning all... Thanks for the coffee Mark! Fog is an apt description of what I am in this morning.. cant seem to get woke up.

The BOSS bought a Bowflex Elite from some guy at her work for $300 with all the bells and whistles, he used it SOOOOO much that the original packing plastic is still on most of it... and he wonders why he is having weight issues..hmm Now we'll see if it gets used here..

Still drizzling the freezing rain/sleet here( I HATE COLD WEATHER), dont think I'll get much accomplished today.... may just go visit the little princess and not worry about doing anything

WEll off to peruse the forums,
Have a good'un all!

Just found out that I'm an uncle again. Little sister just had her first. A baby girl. A bit early but Mama and Daughter are both doing fine. I'm sure pics will be along eventually.

About time to make some fire in the truck. Lockdown is in 5 minutes. Then shift change.

I'm going to mount the whole head. I measured the mid-neck last night at 25" around!
