It ain’t spring until a pickup goes through the ice on Big Lake.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Nope. 80 is my upper limit. 90 is out of the question, and 100 is just obscene. I prefer -10.

Ours is rarely under 60-70 percent.. 100 just gets started some summers. 100 days of it sometimes. Officially 100. If its officially 110 or so, then its about 130-135 in the sun. I have no clue how folks can go over to the sand things and work... screw that.... I get grouchy around 80. Its about when the wife reminds me its time to head north again.

.........If its officially 110 or so, then its about 130-135 in the sun......... Lord, have mercy!! There is simply no way I can survive that kind of climate. As a kid I grew up in southern California. It wasn't so bad on the coast, but in the summer when we were off school, Dad would drive us out into that F'ing desert. From Louisiana, and after a couple years working in Barstow, he didn't think it was half bad. I just knew it was Hell on Earth. No air conditioning back then in cars, and no interstate. It was all that slow, windy Route 66. My first summer in Alaska was Heaven.

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. Sorry Jeff. Enduring 90* in winter is the opposite of smart. 🤣 Most Alaskans live here year-round because we like it here. See my sig line! 👍

If other things were not as they were I would probably be most of the winter in AK also. Maybe except for TX deer season. Is what it is.

Took the Harley for the first ride Sunday afternoon. So it's officially Spring for me at least.

Huge flock of Canadas just flew over the house! First of them this year. Saw a lone snow goose last week.

Yep, definitely spring as of yesterday. How u can tell: When a puny 36" track can't even be lifted out of a hole. Because it's so fkn heavy with rotten snow, you feel like your intestines are going to rupture into your gawd dmn scrotum. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/W1NBN1w8/20240416-161742.jpg)

Your problem, Mainer, getting that load up the slope appears to be that you were running on only one cylinder.  First skeeter killed yesterday, multiple flocks of geese over, haven't heard cranes yet

Well, Saturday night and Sunday night was cold, 38f here in East Central Arkansas Sunday night. Blackberry winter is has been called all of my life as it happens most every year about the time blackberries bloom. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

I'm sure not seeing the volume of waterfowl here in Delta that I'd usually see and cranes haven't arrived yet.
