But I feel the cold now that I’m older. Winter overnighters in -20C no longer appeal. Long walks outside in cooler temps don’t appeal to the Niglet either. My little Nipper only goes out to pee and poop and that’s it. I have cabin fever like a mofo right now. And this is the hell of that: every year about this time the weather always reports a sweet little chinook ‘in just a couple days or a week…’ and then it never happens.
I need to get out with my rifle. I need to set under the stars and watch the northern lights and the flames of a campfire. Claustrophobia pushes in from all sides. I can’t breathe!!!

I see a break coming next Friday. I’m going to load my tent and dry goods in the dawgmobile. The second this cold weather breaks… I’m outta here. I better start packing. Y’all have a great Friday. If you’re getting good weather, drop everything and enjoy it if ya can. Spring is still a long way away…
10c on my front stoop today, may get to -3c 2nite!

WTF, your weather makes no sense. Are you on Bizarro World or something?? What the Hell is km/h?!? Maybe things would be better if you adopted civilized metrics.
ReplyDeleteIt's the opposite with heat down in Texas. For most of my life, the heat didn't bother me. Middle of summer? Let's go outside and do something, anything, run, play, work, fish, fuck, BBQ, whatever.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere in my 50's that changed. I'd walk outside and the heat would be overwhelming. 5 minutes and I'd be drenched in sweat, exhausted, and all I did was stand on the patio and complain. 10 minutes of working and I'd have to take a break and go back inside to cool off.
I don't necessarily enjoy the cold, but it really doesn't bother me that much. Of course in Texas, we don't get that much of it anyway.
The Northern Light were spectacular Monday night. They were going on out south of the house; which almost never happens. Greens, pinks, reds blues. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteHusband out shoveling the driveway. Eventually his hands get cold and he goes inside to warm up. Wife tells him to put his hands between her thighs and she clamps down to warm his hands. One thing leads to another and.....
ReplyDeleteHe's out shoveling snow again.... his hands get cold and he goes back inside. Same thing happens again...
He's out shoveling snow once again... his hands get cold and he goes back inside. Wife asks him "don't your ears ever get cold?"
