Seeded, fertilized, and put down straw yesterday in a Tshirt.  Went to bed to the sound of rain watering the grass.  Woke up to an inch of snow frozen to my windshield.   :'(

The grass seed won't care until it sprouts.

Am either justified in being angry about winter tomenting me or a little b*tch.  Either way I'm ok with at this point.

I know. We moved it from off to on :(

62° in the house is cold even with blankets and a hoodie on.

You need to spend a winter in this house heating with wood.

It will give you a completely new perspective on the relative comfort of 62 degrees. ;D

I can live without the mt Everest experience ;D

Quit complaining about a little cold.
Try having a 100,000 acre wildfire next door.

The smoke this morning was so thick, you couldn't see more than a 1/4 mile. (yes, I have both a full face and half mask snoot-boot with MSA super filters installed)
We need rain.
A conclusion is the place you got tired of thinking

That sucks. Is your residence in any danger?

Honestly, its not entirely just arbitrary pregnant doging about the cold. Its that I can't ride when its low 40's or less. Riding motorcycles is why I'm not on anti depressants.

This long winter and the stresses of keeping the shop going were rough. I was having some trouble.
