It’s a cold 64*F here. Nice hot cup of cocoa and taking a break from the weather outside. Doc says I should monitor my exposure to the sun and wear sunscreen since my bout with skin cancer on my face.

I'm in my recliner, been sipping coffee, a bit tired from plowing out my farm driveway which is just shy of a 40 length. We got 12+ inches of snow last night, the old IH766 wore me out today. If only Santa would bring me a heated cab :)
The woodstove is purring, the Christmas tree is now up, but not decorated yet. Jim - you're way ahead of us with your stocking up.

My daughter puts things up just after Thanksgiving. I just shake my head and hide in the shop.

I'm putting up the tree tonight. But I wish we were sitting around a campfire tonight.

It must be a lot warmer where you are. It would need to be a very warm campfire (bonfire maybe) as it's about 25° up here.

I miss the change of the seasons. Well, we get change here, just not near as much. And we go from green to green. I find myself getting nostalgic for the few times I've been up north during the fall/winter time. Meanwhile, it's COLD here. Just ask the neighbors! It must be clear down to maybe 20 degrees. Centigrade that is.

Here in south-central New Mexico, we just might have our first killing frost tonight. Still have grasshoppers and cabbage butterflies on the loose.
I surely do miss a fire, and dogs.

In Pemba some winters it got down to 14! The Mozambican guards on the base were wearing heavy coats, gloves and hats with the ear flaps pulled down. They were miserable! I got acclimated to the point that one year we came back to Austin for 3 weeks and I like to froze to death. It got down to 53 degrees (F)!

I have a couple of last details to finish up fixing a really rotted bracket on my KW, then I need to lube and change the oil, and the weatherman is predicting the next four days into the mid to hi-70's. Saturday I'm off to Dustin, FL, but have to be back by the 21st for a Dental appt.. Then it's back off to work until I can't stand it anymore and need some time off. I hope to stay below the frost line this winter... I'm tired of sitting and waiting until they lift the chain requirements... but if they start offering as much money as they usually do... I'll be right back up there! :twisted: :twisted:

Cold and rainy today. But we need it so bad no one is complaining. Just staying in drinking coffee and playing on the web. Wifey is bummed, we had to cancel Disneyland today. Oh well, plenty of more days without liquid sunshine coming.

5 or 6 inches of snow coming to southern Maine Saturday.
Temputures have been a bit above average this year so far!
Upper teens to low 20 so far, this year. Thats not too bad for Maine in December!
Mother nature will kick in soon, I'm sure!
Stay warm my friends!
