Can't wait to back up to the 5th wheel with the F350, set the bully dog and spool it from Stettler over to Baptiste and start cutting trees down so we can get the power in this year!
Yup, sick, tired, and not happy with winter!!!

No I love -40 plus windchill, I need the experience of thawing pipes and boosting vehicles.




Winter, go *#@& yourself.




Btw, if anyone hears me complaining about how hot it is this summer, you have free range to give me a chuck Norris round house kick to the face to remind me of how much more I dispise winter.

Have to say, I find myself proud to have handled this winter without getting cranky or anxious.

Counting the days until I can get on the quads again, to be honest though.

There are a few lifted douchemobiles here, but ya cars are 1000/1 and mopeds are right up there too.

Today is a sit and do nothing afternoon, raining, cool, all the way down to 78 degrees f. I went fishing this morning and got soaked to the bone, neat experience; warm rain.

Okay, I only hate you a little!
Picked up my new to me decoy trailer on Saturday, so I can't wait to get all the stuff out of both trailers and organized on the lawn so we can figure out what we care keeping and what we will sell - it will NOT happen in this weather, i can sure tell you that!!

,..I don't mind winter,..It beats mowing the lawn 3 times a week and all the "honey do" things that are on the list and need done around the house. I ain't to keen on skeeter bites either!

On the other hand, i look forward to calving season starting 4-5 weeks from now and green grass.
I am a kinda sick of feeding hay bales with the twine all froze in and fighting to get it off, and hobbling over frozen turds with the tractor starts to get old too.

I Wonder how bad the caterpillars are gonna be this year

mosquitos and black flies are really the only thing I don't like about the spring/summer/fall.

Like in NFLD two season boat building and boat sailing


Anyway winter sucks it really truly does. But I work outside and it's gotta be pretty ripe to shutdown.
I've seen office workers not go to work in a office because it was to cold.
