Re: Spring!!!!

Doesn't feel much like spring here right now. Just had some ice/snow come through. About 30 degrees. At least it only gave us an inch or so.

Re: Spring!!!!

Indeed! 74 here today so I opened all the doors on the shop to let some fresh air though. Amazing how oders build up in the long winter months.

On the down side, the ^%#_(U&%#^ grass is greenig up fast and it'll be mowing season soon. This year with the cost of fuel I'm seriously considering lettting half or more of the 10 acers I mow go "wild" for the year.

My brother in law used to raise sheep. He was always looking for grass to put his sheep on.
Or you could get a few cattle, raise your own beef.....GO Green:D

Yea spring is here, planted lettuce and spinach, and did spring cleaning on the boat. Crappie are biting!!!!!

Re: Spring!!!!

Last I heard they're talking a possible snowstorm Wed around here. Dates on the calendar mean nothing for us as far as what season it should be....:(

Re: Spring!!!!

Is Bah Humbug appropriate? Or is that only for Christmas? My unavoidable jealousy forces me to tell you all...again...I hate you. I hope you all get sunburned, and your beer gets warm. I hope only the small fish are biting, and your boats all run .03mph slower than last year.

Seriously...splash a little extra, drink an extra cold one, wet one more line, and eat an extra burger or dog for all of us that will not be joining you. Pics are a must, BTW, as we live vicariously through each and every one of you!

Thank a vet, thank a civilian support contractor, thank the families that support them, and have a safe and wonderful spring boating season!!!

Got home from work yesterday morning (I work nights), and mowed the lawn for the first time this season. My neighbors have been mowing for three weeks already. Slacker I am!!!:redface: Actually, my neighbors are just really on top of their lawns...

Seriously, though, it wasn't that bad. With a good machete, a compass, and some emergency food and water just in case, you could easily have made your way to my front door.:rolleyes:

If it weren't for all the work I've been doing lately, as well as saving for the June 18th get together in St Augustine, I'd have had the boat in the water for more than a month already.

Cooked steaks on the grill yesterday. Then reality check this morning:

... Winter Storm Watch in effect from Tuesday morning through
Wednesday evening...

Looking for rain, more rain, snow, more snow.

I have a quarter mile of muddy driveway, known as Baja Minnesota.

Re: Spring!!!!

Mowed my weeds on Saturday.

Record time.

Less than 2 hours, including unwrapping extension cord from mowing deck.

Who in their right minds sells those things in green?

Drive ways cleared for the most part, but muddy, there is green grass showing above the septic tank (a true sighn springs here :D) and the bases of the trees all have a big snow well.

Re: Spring!!!!

I'm really glad so see you all getting ready for boating season and having some fair weather.

Happy Spring to you...Lippp! I thought maybe your thread was about a spring line. :facepalm:

We don't have spring here. Our seasons are Hurricane Season, Tourist Season, Bug Season, and Dry Season.

Typical, they're talking 8 - 18". Plow is going back on and weight put back in the truck today. That should guarantee us 2" at the most....
