The BaldMan made a big decision this week. He is officially retired now. He originally planned to work a few more years, but life seems to have had other plans, and he decided it was time. He does have plans for keeping busy, although right now, those are pretty much trying to navigate Social Security … Continue reading Does This Mean We Have To Move To Florida?
March is such a fickle month. Last week, we had temps in the 50s and the 30s. Just a few days ago, it was 60 out there. Today, I am looking out the windows of my office at 23 degrees (that's F for those not in the US), wind, and multiple inches of snow. March … Continue reading It’s Winter Again (Still?)
We can has snow! Everything is white now outside. We had what you might call "significant" snow a week or so ago, and that gave us a few inches. Since then, it's been a bit here, a bit there. Pretty much what you get all winter here, with a big dump now and then. It … Continue reading Quick Stuffs
Just popping by quickly on this Christmas Eve to wish everyone a happy holiday season, whatever you celebrate. And if you don't celebrate anything in particular, a wish for a peaceful and fun weekend. I'll be back around after the New Year with more of whatever it is I do here. Until then-
Really not much to report here. Last week was quiet, and this week is pretty much the same. I did go for my annual mammogram today. Which is why this post is late getting put up. The morning was used up doing normal Monday things, and I had the appointment at lunchtime. Nothing unusual but … Continue reading A Week of, Well, Not Much
For those of us in the US, this past Thursday was Thanksgiving which, for many, marks the beginning of the winter holiday season. It's also been a bit of a controversial holiday lately for some, but I choose to think of it more as a day for family and gratitude. The actual history of the … Continue reading And So It Begins
Yep, the snow continues to fall around here. Well, and a lot of other places, too, many of which are not at all used to all this white stuff everywhere. At least we here in New England are quite familiar with the stuff and what to do when it covers the entire world. In spite … Continue reading The Winter That Just Keeps On Giving
Well, I did it. I got a DNA test for Lambeau. We know he's a mixed breed, and were told he has "American pit bull" in him, but I have always been curious about what else might be mixed in there. He was from a rescue litter, so it could be anything. I got the … Continue reading Who Are You?
At least here it is. We are expecting a possible 4 to 8 inches from tomorrow morning into tomorrow night. And we still have a foot or so out there from last week. I guess Mother Nature just realized she hasn't given us enough snow cover to create the snow melt we will need in … Continue reading Super Sunday Is Going to be a Snow Day
It snowed a bit yesterday. The depth on the deck is about a food. I haven't measured out back on the ground. It started mid-afternoon yesterday and ended sometime last night. It was also quite windy, so the stuff was blowing all over. There were periods where the accumulation was in inches per hour. Made … Continue reading We Can Has Snow!
And So On...
