Hey!!! It's been over 40 degrees almost every day this week. We set a new record high for Belgrade with 56 on Wed. Too bad the snow's gone, but now there's mud!!!
We went and found some last night and tonight. It was a blast. My truck looks proper again, instead of just grime there's now mud ***** all over it. I knifed a sidewall on one of my rear tires... stuff happens.
One of the roads is "impassable when wet" Hah!
We also shot at a few skunks... they're out enjoying the warm weather, too.

Here's to thoughts of spring.

It's been like 65 deg here the last few days. By this time in the month, we're used to getting 3 1/2 inches of rain. We're under an inch right now. Been kind of pleasant..

Here in Pennsylvania we're in ths same boat as NJ. It is now just starting to snow, looks like it is going to be a big one. I guess I'm glad the 05 F250 V10, 6 speed, did not arrive this weekend.

California winters are rough: almost had to put on shoes and long pants after sundown.
