I'm with you, brother!Smokecreek1 said:I don't care that we need it-I'm tired of shoveling snow and splitting fire wood all the time! Just had to buy some snow melt---I have not had to use this stuff for years and they are talking a foot more snow today and continued snow until next Wednesday !!! Well at least I'm retired and don't have to drive down my hill to work at six in the morning like I used too ! Power was out for a while last week and the internet was down; thank god for books and all that gear I carry around in the pop-up-if things get real bad can always climb in there ! Bah humbug

There you go...let it out, big guy -- feels good to whine, doesn't it!ski3pin said:Has anyone seen the sun lately? It has been days and wet slop just keeps piling up. Please, someone describe the sun to remind us what it looks like.
Hope your thoughts about the trout are correct.Rockcod said:Sun was out here this am , it was grand to see, according to local reports, perhaps clear for the day, nope more clouds rolled in around 2pm with some rare thunder & rain looks to be headed towards Reno from the southwest typical daily routine. Now the norm. It's going to be a wonderful year camping on our many western rivers in my new ATC camper. I also expect an excellent daily hatch for the fish to feed on. I gotta think some of those trout are farther downstream now. River flow rates are incredible.
About 4 gallons of gas through the snowblower. Several new inches on the deck right now after the Lady's last shovel work.Casa Escarlata Robles Too said:Ski,
How much snow do you have?
