Freaky snow

The weather guys should be shot. A week or so ago, I heard a weatherman say that so far, "we have only seen less than one-half inch of snow for the month of February." JERK. Now look what we've got. We were nicely on our way to a stretch of thawing and you have messed it all up. You and that damn groundhog Phil. Grrrr

Whoa!!

The chili came out great. If I would change anything, I'd make it more spicy, but man I am good.

Today the rain came and it felt superb. Rain only means it is too damn warm to snow, sleet or freezing rain again. Will this trend hold fast until Spring? Time will have to present that answer for us.

All the rain is making quick work of washing the salty mud off my car. Oh, my poor car. It seems to have a leak somewhere that is letting a small amount of water in. The carpets are wet and the interior has a most unpleasant odor. It smells like an old, wet musty/moldy basement. That can't be healthy. I don't really know what to do about it. I'll have to clean it out as best I can and perhaps have the carpets shampooed. If that doesn't help, I really don't know what will. I haven't the means to replace it and I owe too much on it still. I'll have to see what comes along. I wish I could afford a nice used VW. I'd better start scraping together my pennies. The Accord is over 100k miles now..

Chili time

Made a huge batch of awesome chili.. I figure if I make a vat of chili, it is inexpensive and I can grab some anytime for days to come. All those around me will regret my decision, but that is not my problem. Love me, love my gas. Ha ha ha ha...

Today was heavenly. The temps were in the 40's and downtown was buzzing with activity. I walked from the mall to the post office and back with pleasure. The sun was warm and lots of thawing was going down.. That's pretty hip talk for a 40 year old white guy.

Heard from an old friend today. We hadn't spoken for a while so that was great. Friends are meant to be treasured and held close, so when you hear from some that have gone away, it makes you long for times past when they were in easy reach. I hope we become closer, over the miles.
