""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

 I actually don't mind the sub zero temps if I can dress for it, it gives me a feeling of acomplishment to go do something out side  at -20 and then get back indoors with out dying  ;D

Personally I'd rather sit inside in front of a fire sipping a Captain & Coke and watching some OTHER poor dumb bastard do something outside at -20.  I guess that means I shoulda been an OFFICER, huh?   ;D
I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!

In mid Michigan near Lake Michigan it is snowing and blowing and thundering right now.  Suppose to warm up to the mid 30s overnight, change to rain, then the wind is to get really bad, the temperature plummet, and the lake effect snow kick in.

It's coming this way, we are supposed to get 6-10 inches tomorrow changing to rain. It will get interesting if it freezes.
And MB and Marshal aren't even here to enjoy it like last year  ;D

Felt the need to move this up.  It is a house cleaning day today.  I'm not sure how much snow we have received, or how fast the wind is blowing, but I do know that it is 2 degrees, I can't get off the yard (the guy that rents the barn was here and plowed a strip through the yard, but the county and city plows aren't running), the dogs are in the house, and I am cleaning.

Twelve years since I quit teaching EMT, FireFighter and specialized rescue; seventeen years since farming was ended; and fifteen years since I gadgiated from kollage; and it is time to clean up some of the stuff that was still around.  We had been married four and a half years when we moved out here, it was five more years till the fire, and now it has been twenty years (twenty years in two weeks) since we moved into the new house and started collecting crap.  One of my uncles that went through a fire after us said that "everyone should have a fire every five years just to get rid of all the crap."

Will spend a little more time on this project, then I have a little family room cleaning before company this weekend, and the guns should get some attention yet today  ;D

Keep warm everyone!
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

Woke up this morning to a balmy -13 and a wind chill of -32. The Copenhagen summit is doing wonders for global warming... ;D
