Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 38, damp-wet, and dank gray overcast.
Good weather for my moss crop. Was out checking this morning and it is going to be a bumper moss crop this year.
Eh, they did too much complaining about a lack of roughage. Bullwinkle got a little upset when I hung a reindeer ornament on him, so I had to move it to the fireplace mantle.
Our Christmas Party is no booze, kids encouraged...I just wish they would quit winning most of the bingo games and let us grinches win more than one or two.

I worked for a small company so it was kind of hard not to go. I seldom enjoyed them and even with only 20 people or so there were always a couple of guys who would get drunk and stupid. One guy got that way about every year...the final straw was when he got into a big arguement with his wife one year......I never went after that......when people asked why I wasn't going, I told them that was the reason. Didn't miss them a bit. I would have rather had a Christmas bonus.........(which we rarely got) I don't have to worry about any of that now....lol

Good morning Pat and Andy. The crud is here, too. I had a bad chest cold a couple weeks ago I couldn’t shake, then Owen got a fever two days ago with a runny nose and now my sinuses are congested and I feel like crap. Hopefully I can shake it enough to continue my elk hunt tomorrow.

Careful with that crud Evan. They almost shut our high school down a week ago. A lot of kids and teachers out with the creeping crud. County Health Dept. concerned about everyone in the school coming down with Norovirus.
