Well, I stole a look at my weather radio and just saw something I don't often see there where it usually says "TStorm Warning" or "Tornado Watch". It says "Blizzard Warning". Guess that means we'll get a white Christmas after all!!! I know it's blowing like the dickens outdoors right now and we've got about 3 inches of snow suspended in fifty mile an hour winds. Hope Santa Claus finds his way in the storm. The wife is crawling down the Interstate headed home from work 30 miles away. Once she's in the door, I'll settle down with a cold one and watch it snow in the glow of the Christmas lights adorning the house and front lawn.
May each and every one of you know-it-all bastards have a very Merry Christmas. ![[Wink]](wink.gif) Hell, Martz, that goes for you, too. You all might be all uppity and such, but you're a top notch group of guys that I am honored to count amongst my friends. While I'm at it, Happy New Year, too!

Well Lance,
It's been a very long time since I've wished you a Merry Christmas and I'm not even going to try to remember when, just know it's been a while! Hope your wife makes it home very soon and your family is safe and warm.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, too!

Good deal, Lance. Back at ya. Merry Christmas.
We had a hell of a wind storm two nights ago, picked up one of my umbrellas like a helicopter and dumped it upside down ten foot deep in the pool, shattered the glass top of a six foot table, exploded all over the place. I shouldn't have left it up, kinda stupid, I guess? I was sweeping up and hosing down glass shards all day long. Tempered glass, ya know? I had a heck of a time getting that umbrella fished out, it acted like a sea anchor on a boat, if you land lubbers know what that is?
We got a lot of snow in the local mountains but not at my level. I kind of like it when we do get snow here, but my tropical shrubs don't!
Good hunting. LB

Yep, snowing here too. Kids are outside now, but keep coming to the door to ask me to get the fourwheeler and pull them around on an innertube.
Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.
Maintain, Geordie
P.S. Going to get the fourwheeler now!

Leonard,
I think the wind we're getting now is the same system that you had two days ago and which kicked up the dust storms in NM I read about on the news.
The wife got sent home early from work, made it in good time and is safely here with us bundled up in a Snuggie watching TV. She was raised in and around Laurel, Montana, and Craig, CO, so snow storms and driving in them are old hat for her. I have a new snow thrower in the garage that I'll use to wake the neighbors sometime tomorrow morning. Hehehe We don't get too many white Christmases, so this is a treat for all of us. That innertube idea sounds fun. I have a plastic toboggan we use for dragging deer out behind the ATV which might get some work this weekend. You can get about four average-sized 10 year olds on it.
I'm looking at Saturday night - growing big moon (~70%), should be straight overhead at about 8 p.m., and snow on the ground. Coyotes have been in seige mode and nocturnal since deer season and I have a surprise for them. LOL

It snowed here big time last night and all day today and its still comeing down. I left this mourning to go hunting and got stuck for a half hour and decided to call it quits till it stops snowing. Have a forecast thats calling for two more days of it. The coyotes are gonna be easier to find but tough getting out to them so i'll have to digg out the snow-shoes..
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.....

No snow here in the land of Tim & Vic, but it's 24 degrees outside. Thank Gawd for global warming; it would probably be in the low teens if not for AlGore.
Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!

A 50 MPH wind, single digit temps, about a foot of snow already and maybe that much more to come, 6-8 foot drift in the driveway, but I will always luv winter.
Geordie you wouldn't need a fourwheeler here, just put them on a tube and go pick them up somewhere southeast of where you let them go, fence, shelterbelt, Nebraska!!! You may be able to send one to Shaw from my house.

I had to stop and go check, Paul. Up late and up early, still a little whupped. I'd hosting dinner today, first time alone, since Nanc died. It's a lot of work! I hope I can pull it off?
I don't know what the temp is? My thermometer says 80 but it feels like 60? Clear as a bell. Somebody told me it was down to 37, the night before last, but mostly, the overnight low has been in the low 40s.
Rocky. I checked, he didn't find the porkchop bones I buried for him, maybe they were a little deep, so I dug it up and a blind coon could find it now. It's the last of my stash of bones from a big dinner a few nights ago, from here on in it's raw eggs and lunch meat.
Merry Christmas, I hope everybody got what they wanted? LB

RR, they would probably be all for that. A little too much wind for me though.

Looks like my backyard, Rich. Already been down the drive two times today with the new snow thrower. What a fun toy. For now.
The moon is right this minute straight overhead and at about 50% (It's 6:15 pm). 'Ceptin' for the gale force winds blowing all the snow sideways, it'd be a good night for yodelin'. Oh well, DVD night instead.
Hope everyone had a good one today. I started mine off with my teenage son telling me to something-or-other off, and that my entire family could burn in hell. Then he told me if I didn't want him around, I should just kick him out. I told him to gimme a present and be gone when we got back. Remember when you couldn't wait to hear them talk? You gotta love those kids. He's gone, but his crap is still here. Damn!
Oh well, it is what it is...

Out here in the west, the sun has gone down and the stars are shining. Supposed to hit about 20 degrees tonight. It was a good, restful Christmas for me and what a great year it was. Merry Christmas to all. Here's a good short video and song to end it with. Man, do I miss these actors.

We had two of our four kids here today, along with my Parents and our New Daughter-in-law. It was a great Christmas, with way too much food. My Mom and Wife really over did the treats this year.
Our water lines didn't freeze, but the pressure switch froze open. Joyce ran out of water in the Middle of her shower and I had to go outside and repair the problem in my robe and flip flops.
Sounds like a good weekend to slip out and kill something?

CDog, I read your post at a bit before daylight today... right before I headed to work.
Fortunes have certainly changed in my camp in the last few years. Happy to have a job but it is kicking my ass at my (relatively young) age. It is a great day to be alive!!!!
Heck, I'll send a Merry Christmas cheer and salute out to old Sweet William myself.
Temp's have dipped in to the teens here with winds gusting in to the 40's. Not fit for man nor beast!

Man, I want one of those railroad hats! Huber wears one, so does Cal. I think that means real north country hunter. Never saw one west of the Pecos?
Looks like fun, sort of like tubing behind a ski boat.
Good hunting. LB

Leonard,
Look for Stormy Kromer hats. I have one and they're gawd awful comfortable and warm. A bit pricey in today's world, but worth the money.
