Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

Today I need to get a haircut and get my Dodge Ram washed.

I got neither done today, this is why I seldom plan things.
maybe tomorrow morning, my afternoon is planned, LOL.

Rained all night but the weatherman just informed me that it will be moving out and temps will be rising into the mid to upper 70s over the next week.
My plan today is to grab a shower while the weather continues to improve outside then head on out to the Red Shed and continue shooting my way through our airgun collection. I have been revisiting many of them that have been laying dormant for months, if not years.
Surprisingly I have yet to find one that didn't function as it did the last time we shot it. I hope that pattern continues.   
I'm trying to mix it up between pumpers, thumpers and puffers. Still a bit cold for C02 so those will come later.

It's -18 F this morning. ( Hey..It's Not Snowing !    )
That's Cold but it could be worse.
In Feb 2018 it reached -28 F
On Feb 3rd 1996 it was -47F
The big warmup comes tomorrow

 A balmy -8 this am, work plans on me being there so that's what I will pretend to do Plenty of inside organizing and cleanup, not my mess but it pays the airgun bills

54* here and blowing a gale. I hate this roller coaster weather especially with the wind gusting, the cold just cuts to the bone.  Probably stay in today and finish cleaning up the computer room, still looking for the elusive depth finder charger. Finished overhauling the reels yesterday some I am back in business for fishing. Just take the day as it comes.

Hi Kris.

It's -18F and cold here in Minnesota today.

The big Warmup starts tomorrow with temps in the  +30's.

There will be plenty of folks out fishing this weekend.

LOL... I don't think I would feel comfortable standing on ice that has that many holes punched in it.

Mornin y'all.  Awesome weather today!  Mid fifties and raining.  This kind of weather suites my Hibernian genes.  I'd love to be out on the heather or hiking the crags.  I've got the late field shift today so I'll be out in it all day.  I was out in the woods at first light hunting for mushrooms.  I saw some oysters but they looked a little past their prime.  If we get  a couple more days like this there will be Bluets and Lions mane soon!

Me either Bill.

There has been a lot of  ATVs, Snowmobiles and Vehicles going thru the ice this winter.
There is too much snow on the lakes this year.
It is preventing the ice from getting real thick.
Go Figure..snow... insulating the ice and causing the ice to melt from below.

How quickly potential plans change...
My W2 was mailed out Monday afternoon from my previous employer. I've already received the 1099 from SSI. If the W2 is in today's mail I will go visit my taxman.

I remember when I was a kid my dad driving our 63 Oldsmobile out on the ice on North Dakota lakes to ice fish a few times. Since he was a Sheriff Deputy he knew where the safe times and locations were.

No W2 in the mail.... now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

What is this 'haircut' thing you speak of ?

I get a short flat top about every 5 weeks because my hair wants to stand up anyway. At about 5 weeks out it is as long as I want it to get. I plan on swimming a little bit this afternoon and want it short so it will dry quick and easy when I get out of the pool.

I have really been dragging this past week.  Fighting sleepiness anytime I stop moving.  Didn't even open my eyes until 8am this morning.  Laid there until 8:45 when I finally got out of the covers.  Now I'm caffinating with a homemade cappuccino and surfing.  I will finally cut boys heads of hair then head out to play pool with my pops then head into work after that.  I work until 11 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

Maybe it's the mirror?! 😱😆😎

I'm procrastinating.  I'm going to go set up the home barber shop now...

[Insanity]

I quit growing hair on top of my head and quit shaving my face...

[Blowpipe Sam]

Bout every three months I get the Wahl clippers out and shave my head.

Every time there is less hair on the floor when I get done than the last time.
