It's been so warm here the trees are starting to bud. This is our Lilac tree in front of the house. I've never seen it do this in February before

I went on two camping trips in Colorado for 2 weeks each. The first trip I used a Cabela's XL cot. It was fine for the first week and a half but then it started bothering my hips for the last few nights. I've used this cot on a lot of other shorter camping trips and it works fine. You can put a yoga mat on it for a little extra padding.
My second trip to Colorado I packed a tall full size air mattress. I slept great the entire trip. I actually slept better there than I do at home but I think that was just the difference in air.

I dont think I know anybody personally that thinks Biden is doing a good job. While that is true for 99% of the people I know too (One thinks that Biden is doing a great job), I do know a couple of people that would NOT vote for Trump just because of his personality. I can't understand that. I think a lot of people don't vote for him just because of his personality. It doesn't matter what how much good he does for this country.

I'm glad it was good news. I have a very close group of 6 friends. 2 have lost their wives to cancer and a third is battling it right now. It has made me extra cautious with my wife. I'm always on her about getting all her tests and screens done.

Ticks

Do you suppose there are chemical differences between individuals that cause ticks to be attracted to one person -vs- another? Reason I ask is because I hear lots of people that mushroom hunt, turkey hunt, fish, etc. constantly dealing with and worrying about ticks. I do as much of this outdoor stuff as anyone and see a few ticks, but rarely have issues. Maybe I just stink? I think there's something different among people. I get chiggers terribly bad. If I walk through my yard barefoot I'll have chigger bites up to my waste the next day. My wife can do the same thing and not get a single bite. Once things green up I don't go in the woods or weeds without soaking my body and clothes in off bug spray and permethrin. One summer I had to get IV antibiotics twice for infected chigger bites. I've been like this since I was a kid.

That cold spell must not have hurt them much.

I went for a walk in the woods today. I just found a small tick buried deep in my chest. I don't think I've ever got one in February before.

I believe it's a Tavor TS-12. Unfortunately, when I pulled it out of the brush I saw the orange tip on the barrel. It looked pretty real up until then. I guess it's an airsoft or something. I'm going to remove the orange tip, clean it up, and hang above the doors inside my cabin/work office. I'm using pallet boards to finish the walls inside. With the orange arrestor I say it not a real gun …. Toy or BB It's definitely not real

I took a little hike around the property at work today and found this sticking out of the brush over the hill from the state Hwy.

I'm looking for a 12g barrel for a mossberg maverick. I hope they fix yours. But if they don't.....

I wonder how Practical Sportsman is doing. He probably got rich selling his magic mud and no longer has time for us. LOL That was good entertainment when he posted!

I'm at a training class at a technical college today. The bathroom options are "women" and "all genders". There is not a men's room. There is a basket of feminine hygiene products 3' away from the urinals. These are some crazy times.

I wish BSUTravis would pop in more often, he seemed like a genuine person. Heck of a fisherman too. He helped me get started doing deer skulls. He seemed like a great guy.

I have a suburban for driving in the snow. It doesn't have any heat. I'm trying to fix that problem. I hope it's just the blower motor resistor. Check the blower motor also… It could be drawing to much of a load and making the resistor go out BTDT I will. Last week it only worked on the highest fan setting. Now none of them work.

Thanks guys. This car has 248,000 miles. We just paid $1700 for repairs after the ball joint failed and the wheel basically fell off. We are trying to make it last at least until summer. I'm trying to find a low cost set of used tires to keep it on the road. FWIW, if you expect to drive in snow between now and then, the minimum tread depth for snow is 5/32" I have a suburban for driving in the snow. It doesn't have any heat. I'm trying to fix that problem. I hope it's just the blower motor resistor.
