It's VERY cold here today. Normally I make a fire in the woodstove and don't add wood to it, and that heats the house for the rest of the day, but I've already had to add more logs to the fire to keep it going. VERY cold in here:

40°F
Precipitation: 1%
Humidity: 92%
Wind: 5 mph

The sky is heavily overcast with absolutely NO sun shining through. I've had to leave all the tortoise shed doors closed to keep them inside. Br-r-r-r!
I love a warm wood stove.

It's good to treat yourself once in a while!
I agree, I just looked at the rates in October. They said that was the slow season. The rooms were 242.00 which is cheaper than what we spent.
This up coming year, Rose has 2 trips scheduled and I am going with some of my sons and friends. For another 3 day fishing trip to the Dry Tortugas. Also try and figure out how to get to Michigan for a visit. So we probably won't do the resort next year.

Yes Brother, you see it before we do....by around 8-10 hours I think. Hey, can I leave at 10AM and tell them, "it's a short day"?




21F here this morning, nothing like our friends in the Dakotas and Minnesota are dealing with this morning. Magz in the Northwest reported some darn cold temps the other night too!




Was called into see the bosses for my yearly "beating about the face & head" (bonus time)yesterday.
These guys don't play games....they hand it to you and say "thanks"....the way it should be! The best part was that bosses, all bosses like to use this time to" rah, rah, rah about the upcoming year and how we can increase $$"......they don't even bother with that stuff with me. LOL

This is my 3rd time at this place called Aquarium Encounters. They have different aquatic animals to feed and pet. What lures me there are the Sulcata's. They have one big male in his own are. Then 5 females all the same size together in another area. I always have a good time feeding them. I guess no pics of me feeding.

Hello TFO, just wanted to let everyone know that Sammy turned 5 yrs. old today. He's top weight this month was 58 lbs 9 ozs. Today he only weighed 56 lbs 8 ozs. He's been sleeping alot but still having regular power movements.He is 21 inches long, 15 inches wide and 10 inches tall. Here's a couple of pictures with his birthday hat on.

I wish people around here would act like that and slow down. Or learn how to drive on ice and snow. I won't poke my nose out the door for the next few days and a lot of why is the crazy people out there doing donuts.

Cold, nasty rain all day. 💧💦💧💦 but it’s hanging at 50 F now. By the time the sub-freezing temps arrive the precip will be gone. No ❄️❄️
It's still hanging out around 42°f right now. Phew... and the winds haven't picked up yet. I'm 🙏 so far it's all late even though it was supposed to be earlier.😁❄️❄️❄️💨🥶🐦
