Snow is melting fast and piles are shrinking
New snow melts within a day
Refuge had bear bait registration
Snow shovels are stored
Chains are off the tractor
Still need to swap tires on the fleet and get sandbags outta my little crummy.
WOOT!

Currently 14fricking degrees "ABOVE" zero. Translated: spring my ass. I am figuring it is time (2025) to start spending (5) FIVE months a year, someplace that does "NOT" super-SUCK.
For those dumb'[bleep] chechako's who think they have "gonad's" of brass. Your time will come.
ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).

All you got to do is uncover your boat and put your snow shovels away and you'll get more snow. Ask me how I know.

.......Refuge had bear bait registration........... I thought the feds banned bear baiting on refuge lands 10 years ago or so.

No browns over bait on KNWR. Only blacks.

For those dumb'[bleep] chechako's who think they have "gonad's" of brass. Your time will come. I’m in Ft. Lauderdale having just returned from the Caribbean and come the end of December I’ll be sailing around Singapore and S.E Asia….sounds like it’s the sourdough’s who aren’t too bright, us cheechakos with brass balls also have brains. 😂 You’ll learn….someday. 😂

Well, that sure beats a total ban. ........I am figuring it is time (2025) to start spending (5) FIVE months a year, someplace that does "NOT" super-SUCK......... I like the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons at home, and I like March here, too. I spent up to four months Outside a couple of times, and that was too long. I came to really like flying out on New Years Day (great flight prices), and it's still possible to catch the tail end of dove season open in Arizona in early January. Then spending the next couple of months throughout the Southwest taking walks in the desert shooting quail and coyotes. I like coming home in early March. It's like getting two summers and two winters per year.

For those south lovers, its mid to upper 80s this week. Had 90s every month of the time I spent south. Was 92 2 weeks ago.
Glad I'm smart enough to come south. glad I'm smart enough to head north before 100s hit.

Looking forward to our first Alaska summer in 11 years. Today it hit 83 and the AC is on 72.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
