Just wanted to remind every one that can make it, January's dinner is tomorrow evening. Hope to see ya'll there.

I'm glad the snow and ice doesn't get bad enough here ever that I have to worry about my heat pump having trouble. But I do wish I had some type of real heat, besides the radiant heaters that I plug in. With the Den getting slowly (SLOWLY) torn apart. I haven't had the fire burning at all this year.

Well, from what I saw this weekend should be nice. Hope so. I've got some plans Saturday. Might finally get something to eat off of a smoker, even if it's not mine! Also going to get that hitch into a 20 ton shop press, and if I have to, get the ball blasted out with a plasma cutter. We shall see how it goes. I want the ball out first. Then I will see if I can find a used fiver hitch for it, and make sure it fits before I actually buy one. Since B&W said it wasn't one of their hitches.

I don't mind rain. I dislike cold weather. So with it being around the 60's I will be happy.

I’m with you Josh, I don’t like the cold unless I’m deer or duck hunting. I’m about perfectly content from 60 to about 75 or so.

Again, I'm fine with the humidity. Just bring the temperature up. I built a fire this morning, it was so cold. Doesn't look like it's warming up much either. So looks like I'll keep that going all day. A big thanks to Wesley for that one, as he dropped off the load of fire wood after our last camping trip.
