where we are camped north of Houston on Lake Conroe .... it got down to 19 last night, the snow/sleet/hail that fell yesterday hardened .... it can't be swept away and pouring steaming hot water on it has very little impact ..... its up to 26 with bright sun .... with the projection for it to get above freezing around noon, hopefully nature will take a hand .... thankfully we don't have any need leave the campground and get out and about until Friday ..... I do need to get out and take care of some camping chores .... with it supposedly going back down to 17 tonight we have a few hours to hook back up to CG water (hopefully it isn't frozen) so that Maureen can run the washer and I can top off the camper's fresh water tank .... my third cup of coffee is brewing .... it sure taste good in my Luckenbach, Texas coffee mug

I remember reading "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" and it said if the temp was below something like -60 they didn't have to work outside that day. ;'[p

Saw a film awhile back about an Inuit hunter, don't know how cold it was but the guy interviewing him was bundled up in full arctic gear and the hunter was wearing a light jacket and no gloves.

Took me 10 minutes to make this post, Louie was determined to help me type.

He's a very brave little kitten. Maggie, my 10 year old, 17 lb. cat is still hissing and growling at him but I'm sure she'll come around, she's always gotten along with my other cats. Louie hissed a little at her the first night but it's only his second day here and he'll walk up to within several feet of her, sit down and just look at her. He's determined that they will be buddies.

Sunny and warm (34F, here, that's warm ;) ), it'll be nice for a few more days. Shooting tomorrow, I hope.

Coffee is brewing, and a warming front is moving in. Temps ranging from today's high in the 40s, to a high later next week in the 60s!
The two knives on the bench have shaping of the scales to be done. Miss T finished that lap blanket yesterday afternoon, and crocheted a pair of baby booties and a hat by the end of the evening. Busy hands.... :lol:

28 this morning, 36 now, cloudy, with a light wind. That's almost as good as it gets here in January. I'm off to sight in my Henry 30-30's new ghost ring sights.

Thirty nine degrees. Coffee in the nra mug. Warmer weather forecast for a week, but two days of rain coming. The good news is that it will wash away the last of the snow and clean everything up. Highs in the sixties for a week, in January. :o Ol mom nature is messin with us. ;)
