Good morning.
Only 75°F. forecast for the high today, but the rest of the week will be in the high 70's in Melbourne, FL, with 79°F. forecast for the next two days.

Saturday I went to Floridas's Ocala NF. Hunting was still active, so I spent most of the time relaxing and reading. Yesterday I did some hiking in part of the lower 10 miles of the Florida Trail in Ocala NF, before returning for my aikijutsu class yesterday evening.

Hey, nincompoop- oops, Hey, Nimblefoot - next time I go south I'll try to check out your old homestead., maybe next weekend. Can I get a free meal there? You should just forget it. Living in past memories will make you senile. Or are you considering moving to Florida to be with people of your own vintage?

Good morning,

I finally set my date to leave Wisconsin for the AT, 25 January..coincidentally it's the day my satellite t.v. will be cut off. Three weeks from today; preparations are in earnest now.

Nowslimmer - No problem with the free meal. I spoke to the present owners and all you have to do is knock on the door.

Time for the gym.

Man I am just getting my ASS kicked by some virus. I have no energy. I have snot oozing from every orifice. The only thing I can taste is nauseating, diseased mucus. Feels like the flu without the projectile vomiting and the runs.

Ears? I figured someone would ask about drippy dick first. LOL! EEEWWWWW!

No I havn't been to the doc yet. The rule is: If your snot is clear stay home. If it's green go. All he'll tell me is there's nothing he can do and charge me for the visit.

Good morning. High forecasts in Melbourne, Florida, for three days starting today are 79, 80 and 79°F. And I don't feel guilty. This is the way Florida is supposed to be.

Have a great day.

Nige, it took me two and a half weeks to get over that stuff (but I traded back and forth with the kid). Good luck and do what you need to do, there's plenty of weekends in a year. ;)

BTW, SNOW! 1-3 inches today and up to 7 more overnight!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!

Woke up to a couple of inches of the white stuff on the ground. Drive in was slow. I packed my dinner with me today, and will eat dinner at work before heading to the library tonight. No sense in fighting the afternoon traffic.

I broke my snowblower AGAIN! I failed to do the first gentle pull on the rip cord and gave it a good yank. It was slightly frozen and I broke something inside. The good thing is it has electric start also, so I'm still in business. Wheeeew! Have a great day everyone! :o)

Lol, Sunshine! Thank God for a backup!

It's overcast here, and I'm praying for rain. Otherwise, it'll be in the mid 70's again. Bleah. The broccoli and cabbages are happy, though. I'm perusing all my planting catalogs, thinking about their ship dates. Dangit, a bunch of these companies don't ship until halfway through the prime growing season!

Sunshine - I've got a great big honkin' snowblower that I only used about 2 hours last year and none this year. Why? It's just more fun to shovel. I drive on top of the stuff as long as I can and then grab the shovel and go to town. It's great exercise and always starts.

It was Nigal Ewk. I've been over my cold for two weeks now. =)

SG, I've had everyday since 11-8 off work, snow or no snow, lol. I found out yessterday that my disablility insurance approved my claim! It only took them five weeks to make up their minds, sigh. I look forward very much to that check coming in the mail. It was hard to be patient with them as it's a supplimental insurance that I choose to pay for, out of my pocket and the case seemed pretty cut and dry to me. I really hate insurance companies when I need them. They're onery about letting go of money.

Perfect weather outside! Birch got a birthday gift from mother nature, a day off work. =) He and the little one are outside shovelling and playing right this moment.

I got the okay to wear shoes yesterday from the Dr. so I can go outside without a grocery bag over my foot, lol. Shoes hurt but they will get better. I was so sick of that stinky ol' surgical shoe that I'd like to pitch it!

It is a good day.

Hi: 79°F.


We're in a winter rut! The forecast is the same everyday. Maybe the forecasters just leave it with their best guess while they're away on winter vacations.

Morning all! Its a balmy 18 degrees this morning. I'm going for my walk :) I need to break inmy new winter boots..they are insulated down to -30 degrees....but gosh they are stiffer and heavyier then I thought they would be. They will take a while to break in I suspect.

"They" are saying that it will be 40 on Sunday. That just means your visit to my fine city will be mushy/sloppy. Tip your cabbie well, so you won't get your feet wet! lol

They are from landsend. I used to work for landsend and have connections to good discounts ;). They are insulated down to -30. But thtey are heavy and stiff so I am working on breaking them in. I like the aggressive tread on them and hte fact that ice and snow doesnt stick to them. Theya re water proof on the outside too but my feet dont seem to sweat in them.

The other tests went fine, I think. Guess I'll know more on the 4th. Ugh.
The Elem Ed one was a joke! I wish I could take the test booklet home to show some of the questions to ppl. You'd laugh. I was tested on every subject, including health, phys ed, art and music.... geez! How does one prepare for that?

TD - I've almost conquered addition. Except when it's part of a quadratic function, lol.
