Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

It looks like the first week of 2018 is going to be pretty chilly.
So when are the global change chicken littles going to start claiming that an impending ice age is breathing down our necks like they did in the '70s?

Yeah, this week is going to be brutal for north Florida. Wind blew off some of the tarps last night, so hopefully those trees didn't sustain any damage. Low temp last night on the front porch was either 28 or 29.5 degrees, depending on whichever of the min/max temp sensors are accurate. They are both side by side in the same spot, so perhaps even one of them is actually accurate.
Thursday is looking like it is going to be the coldest night this week. Daytime high today barely got to 43 degrees. I know the rest of the country up north is experiencing much worse, but for us folks with "Florida blood" this is bad enough.
In case I haven't mentioned it before, I HATE cold weather!

LOL, It was 9 degrees when I took the kids to School. One of my Fords lost the water pump, another has charging issues and my shop is full of half built snake cages so I have to do repairs in my driveway. Oh and my Hot tub is out of commission so I can't even soak and get my joints freed up. I'm running a heater in my garage to keep my rats and mice warm. I've got tons of mice but I just can't get the damn rats to breed.
What's really bumming me out is that I have two burms waiting for warmer temps to be shipped in. One is coming in from Cali and the other from Wyoming. And with night time lows in the teens for the foreseeable future I'm not going to be seeing tracking numbers for a while.

That's another problem with the weather here too - no shipping for a couple months, at least. Our forecast for the week. On a positive note though, crime rates go down when it's this cold. No one wants to be out car-jacking, mugging, and shooting people in these temps!

Well, those kinds of temps would make it easy for the cops to get perps to stay put. Just haul them over to a metal railing or lamp post and stick their tongues to it. They WILL stay put unless they are willing to lose parts of their tongue!
Showing 29 degrees outside right now. We normally get about a half dozen or so nights around here in the Winter when temps will drop below freezing, but I cannot remember ever having a whole week straight of this kind of stuff.

This winter has not been to bad so far but it's far from over. We haven't had any snow to speak of and the temps haven't dipped below zero too often. So I'm not gonna grumble too loudly just yet.
On the other hand I just spotted another burm I need to add to my collection. So if I can raise the cash in time (This girl won't be on the market long) I'll have three out there waiting to be shipped.
It's a good thing I've started building my own cages...

I feel bad for anyone vacationing in Florida, or anywhere "warm". I'd be so bummed if I had saved up for a trip, bought airfare and hotel, only to show up for Michigan temps!

Yeah, I'm seeing that the golden finches finally arrived from up north to raid our bird feeders, and I'm guess that they are probably thinking they should have continued on further south this year.
Well one bright side to this. At least Connie and I aren't still living in Maryland and/or visiting Connie's family in Delaware... It looks like we would be getting snowed in today.

And my hate for winter deepens....
I now have 3 burms waiting at their respective breeders for temps to come up enough to get them shipped home. This is becoming an issue. It looks like I may have a window in a couple weeks when it will be warm enough to ship them.
If only the whackaloon global warming alarmist were right...

Since the onslaught of the bitterly cold weather I have become a cooking and baking fiend, with everything made from scratch.
Lasagna
Chocolate Cake
Banana Bread
French Toast Casserole
Beef Soup
Tonight is expected to be the coldest yet so I am doing a very slow-cook oven turkey using this recipe:

The house may be cold but I can at least make it smell good.
