No spinning tire sounds, just the sound of neighbor scraping snow and ice from the alley so he can get his sports car into his garage easier. Out there in the dark with a headlamp and heavy ice scraper. I haven't even shoveled the last snow off my driveway. What's the point if you don't even use your driveway?

Edit: 8:30 and now he's spreading salt all over the alley. 8:31 and chipping at snow/ice again.

Went out for a hike/wade in the trout streams today. Was having a nice day for about 2 hours--good walk/wade, quiet in a nice valley, no one else around.
Then I stepped weird and fell over sideways into the water and had a bunch of water go into my waders. Didn't fill up or anything but the air was about 26 degrees and I was soaked enough that the outing was cancelled and I had to walk back to my car to change into dry clothes.

Good: didn't damage my tenkara rod, and DND.
Bad: I was going to go for a run after fishing but tweaked my knee when I fell, and it was over an hour drive back when I wanted more time being out.

Still spoiled that I even have this sort of experience so no complaints.

You done singing soprano after that cold water hit.
 
My oxygen levels are still good but my entire body is warm. Not sure I'm gonna come through on the good side.

I didn't feel thirsty when I apparently had it but I put down a ton of water still and I'm sure it helped in some way. Breathing in steam also made a light fever better.

Surprisingly it wasn't that bad. Although this was closeish to the headwaters/springs so maybe the water was higher than the 30s. On the walk back to the car though I could tell it was going to get cold after so long.

Or maybe I'm just used to it because I'm an idiot and it's not the first time it's happened.

My youngest ice fished with his buddy today. He’s 13. I’ve never done it, don’t have the patience for it.

Yeah I did some ice fishing last year for the first time in forever. Basically just a chance to hang out with some friends, and it needs to be pretty good weather conditions for me to go out there.

Trout season opens up a nice chance to get a good hike and walk around in the water (usually) a bit.

Rulzzz, if you saw the like don't freak out it was a glitchy computer thing got back as quick as I could to fix it. Like others have said stay hydrated, eat when you can and REST. Your going to be ok.

Well the problems from last weekend persist because the people that need to fix them are worthless. Maybe if they had to spend their weekend dealing with it instead of me always having to bail people out.

Drove through the toll on I-90 the other night but it hasn't shown up on my account yet. Maybe the camera didn't catch my special plates.
 
Was doing my Billy Idol imitation in the WBB game thread. Good record breaking game and felt like the only one actually watching it. Couple peeps listening on radio including our own @Ms3r4ISU but that was it.

I was on the road (surprise). What a great game though. I did appreciate being able to read through the thread and get a neat summary of how things were going.
