We keep getting threats of ice storms which with 12 trees on my little 9/10's of an acre is not cool.
Heard about your frozen pipe problems, know all about them was an RV tech for 10 years so I know that can be a PITA

Hey Dave, 12 tree's can make things interesting for sure. Are you running a lot warmer than usual there or is that normal for this time of year?
When someone plumbed this trailer before I bought several years back they ran one line to an external faucette, I have out side hydrends already so never used it but thought some where along the line I would get in trouble with it but I kept putting off disconnecting until the other day when the copper line swelled from freezing for the last time and popped.
Fortunately we were home when it went off so damage was minimal. Strange year here as we have had little snow so far but got cold early and still keeps hanging on.

Good Morning Wyoming,
Yeah Orin 12 does make things interesting but some where along the line I think I'm gonna have lots of firewood.
Five of those trees are actually Hemlocks and rather diseased but illegal to take down as they are indangered.
As for the other ones a few Japenese maples and several very large Oaks.
Temps are about normal and so is snowfall, we never know when were going to get it
Temps are running a little colder than usual.
I just look for those days of 50 and above, my bike keeps screaming at me for a ride.

Why yes it is. that was at Pinks All Out in Denver in August.
Happy Saturday Ken.
I am beyond ready for summer pat. we got about a 1/2 inch of snow on Thursday but all the wind is now sprinkling the snow around Nebraska so we are bare here. It is 16 degrees with the same 800mph wind.

Good Saturday morning to all that seem to be unfrozen and out on the board. It seems to be an alright day with no snow but some good Wyoming breezes to help keep you hair laid back providing your riding into the wind.
