Yep F... F'in cold

 

[unclefishstick]

this is the time of year that makes me glad i live here...seeing a huge swath of the country deep in winter weather makes the summer months worth suffering through...and in some ways summer makes up for winter when everything is dead and brown...almost no green to be seen...

If the state doesn't rip you off in electrical cost like Cali does im fine with Winter. Here I cant keep the house at 70f in winter using PGE. Its such a scam and 100% a monopoly we are forced to use or die from the temps being to cold/hot.

Same here, -5F tonight, and we're not going to see double digits again until Sunday. The snow is about 2-3 feet so far, but pretty loose powder on the top foot or so.

I just snow shoed down my trail for the pup again, but he quickly got cold, and I carried him the last mile or so in my hoodie. At least now it won't be over his back, lol! He lost his sweater like 10 feet into the trail, the poor guy, caked with snow by the time I could catch up to him He was toasty for the remaining 3/4 of the hike, as I sweated my ass off lugging him What are friends for, right?

I'll probably snowblow the driveway tomorrow, since there are 4-6" on that again already... I packed it all down with the 4-wheeler, last time it hit 4", so I have a nice flat hard-pack layer to cut to. That and some wood stove ashes, and you've got a road that even the baldest tired rice burner can climb

Puppy prints and wall illusions found in 1,500-year-old house in Turkey

Puppy prints and wall illusions found in 1,500-year-old house in Turkey

https://www.livescience.com/ancient-house-turkey-puppy-prints.html

Archaeologists have discovered a fantastical-looking, 1,500-year-old house in Turkey that was decorated with illusory wall paintings and terracotta tiles on the floor with puppy prints and possible chicken decorations pressed into them.

The house may have been used by people involved with the military, the researchers noted.

"The tiles preserved the paw prints of puppies and in one rare case the hoof print of a goat," Frances Gallart Marqués, a former curatorial fellow at the Harvard Art Museums, said Jan. 6 during a presentation at the virtual joint annual meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) and the Society for Classical Studies (SCS) The animals likely walked on the tiles while they were drying out prior to firing, the researchers said. Drawings depicting what may be chickens or ducks were also found on the floor tiles; "these were finger-drawn before the tiles were fired," Gallart Marqués said..

Fuckin back hoe's. That's why they will never be front hoe's. Blowing a hose is foreplay. Ya gotta get the bucket working to get paid the big bucks. Track hoe's get down and dirty
