Global warming.
I have been a consistent denier .
Seems about three inches a week at my house since Feb .
It may be so cold the Wendigo could prowl the night while the poor masses huddle and shiver as heating oil costs rise .
No rain in the forecast today , rained anyway . Let loose as soon as I had a back tire off a tractor . I predicted that so I put it under a Lean to first . The Great Oyarde defeats the rain this time . This comes from a lifetime of wisdom from being wet . Got soaked yesterday putting a new wiper blade on the Mrs.'s SUV . I did not put on my raincoat because I thought it would just take a second , lol , turns out that plastic clip was a little tougher than I gave it credit for . I now have new tires all around on the truck , tractor , SUV and a fresh oil change on the SUV , wood splitter and new wiper blades on the SUV . Time to change the truck oil , I am holding out for sunshine though because I have a few miles to spare . My Japanese Zero is ready too , just need ammo .

I quietly hope it is the last time inside an airport for me . Flight out of San Antonio delayed , Flight arrived Chicago late , flight left Chicago late runway backed up 7 or more deep, flight arrived Indianapolis late . Got my bag then pd 36.00 to get my truck out of the economy lot after dropping 600 on a hotel for three nights and about 1k on two round trip tickets and checking one bag , round trip taxi fare to airport hotel and back about 120.00 with a 25 percent tip. Meals , wedding gift ( purpose of trip to attend wedding ) , bar tab, in at about 3K Thurs - Sun . I am so glad to be home , splitting wood , counting ammo , buying silver and other Chiefly duties .

You forgot to mention you know me. It would have been a lot smoother and cheaper.

it is getting down into the 40s tonight in my neck of the woods. It got so cold last year I nearly froze my ass off. I was so depressed from losing both my husband and mother I could barely chop enough wood to keep the fire burning. I ran out of wood on one of the coldest weeks of the winter. All my house plants froze also my seedlings for spring planting. My wolf dog loves the cold. I made a harness so he can help haul wood in the wagon he loves it. He needed a job.
Don't worry though I have almost enough wood gathered for the whole winter I have been finding lots of already cut up wood for free on craigslist all I have to do is load it up on the truck. I take my young strong nephew with me and let him do most of the work it is kinda nice training someone how to stack wood. I think I will teach him how to use the axe, wedge and sledge too. My work is almost done. I have become a great supervisor I did not know I had it in me.

That resumes tomorrow . Fri is one of my two loafing days .
I slaved my ass of today . I cut a 1 x 5 board and replaced a board in the floor upstairs then I took my angle grinder with a wire brush and stripped paint off the brick of one of the chimneys someone had painted upstairs. Looks like it should now .
I correctly predicted the moon to be at 91 percent waxing crescent today . I shall celebrate with a shot of bourbon since there is no rain forecast for seven days . My last bonfire of the year is to be 59 and partly sunny with a low of 39 . Perfect .
