Front Porch Chit Chat

Holy crap they started boarding the plane!

I hope you will be able to land safely and then get home safely! I have no idea, but I imagine Iowa is getting hit with this storm.

Good evening @ClemKadiddlehopper

Just landed, it's windy but clear as can be. It's south and east of us.

Thanks for letting us know. Been hanging out hoping you’d let us know you’re safe

A friend in Sioux Falls said it missed them, so I wondered how close it was to you. Glad you landed and are getting closer to home.

Hope the truck starts. It's 3° and it's been sitting for a week...

It's always the test of how good your battery is, after sitting that long and now in those temps. It is currently -2 here.

Hitting the bed for a couple hours, be back soon!

 

[Double R]

Sweet warm dreams @Pearl

 

[Pearl]

Checking the woodstove!

Got home. The hot water line is frozen to my kitchen. Daughter turned the kitchen sink on to a trickle, but she only turned the cold water on.

I'm home and should be sleeping, I've been up for 21 hours and only had 3.5 hours of sleep the night before. But now I'm wired and can't sleep.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Just got up to stoke the fire. Gotta take the wife to her doctor's appointment in the morning. It's a 4 hour trip, or more depending on how much snow we get tonight.

Guess you’ll just have to chit chat a while

 

[Double R]

I hear some @SheepDog footsteps roaming around the forum

 

[SheepDog]

That would be me, friend. I don't sneak up on anyone.

 

[Double R]

How are you and the Mrs @SheepDog

You under the weather a bit? You need to be healthy RR!
I pulled a bad stunt. I went shooting with my 2 sons and their kids at the rock quarry. The shooting was fun and I found out that my guns are still sighted correctly. It turned real cold and being on my feet my back was feeling kinds bad when we got home. That was Sunday past. I am feeling a lot better today (Wednesday). It mast show a bit because both my brother and wife mentioned it. I'm doing some stretching and it helps so I am back to normal or getting there. My wife has been wanting to get out and the dentist called to see if she wanted to take a cancellation Thursday at 13:30 hours. That is later today now. I have to drive her because she gets dizzy after the doc has her "upside down" in that chair. Her Fallopian tubes don't respond to equalize the pressure quickly. She keeps wanting to walk sideways for a couple of hours after laying back in the chair. I always sit next to her while she's worked on.

 

[Double R]

Nope “healthy” at the moment. Lol
Always good to go shooting. Glad everything is still sighted in.
Sorry about your back . It happens but still glad you went. Keep up that stretching!

The Wobblers got bad over the summer and she has good and bad times. Last night was not good, this morning she's a lot better. It's a daily touch and go! She's my buddy!

Sorry to hear this, not long ago I had to put down our toy rat terrier, Mini, she was blind and deaf, she was 17 years old and was running into things. Micky had disappeared a number of years before, we think he wasn't doing too well and knew it and went off to die.

 

[Pearl]

Well it was sure interesting taking her out in the icy backyard this morning for a "business" trip! She really did well, stayed on her feet!

Drive careful and be safe Mountain trapper.

Thanks AC. Looks like we only got a couple inches of snow overnight. The roads will be pretty slick this morning, they always are during winter. Its 20 miles from our place to the highway and takes about an hour just to get that far.
Trying to get the wife up now.

 

[Pearl]

It's 6:45pm, I will be back tomorrow! The house is too strange without my girl!

 

[Bacpacker]

Take care Pearl

 

[havasu]

I shed some tears with you today after posting the pic of my beloved pup.

 

[Acdoctor]

Sorry to hear your girls health problems, I too had to put down one of my original mt. curs a few months ago, it’s never easy to say goodbye .

 

[VThillman]

I have known dogs who were better men than I, when the measure was loyalty and courage. Examples to follow.

Good evening stragglers
