My Florida blood begs to ask....what's a swamp doing that far north????  Cool

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Gone already?!?!?  I was surprised to find the side roads inside the Baltimore beltway still mostly unplowed. 

It quickly went from dry bare pavement to about an inch of hard pack and slush.... WEEEEE!

Shocked me too. I walked the dogs yesterday in slush, but I didn't think it would all be gone over night.

I figure the best way to get rid of the cold is to get a new parka. Now it wont get into the single digits until next winter.

Replace the 2 Boxers with German Shepherds, and you've got a gathering at my house.
They're both fixed, but if one thinks the other is getting to much attention, then they have to dominate the other one.

Mornin' Gents.  Bud, the reason there's a swamp up there is because the entire training area is essentially the glacier/flood plain of lake ontario.  flat as a board and holds water like crazy.  Plus, it gets so cold up there that the snow melts and then freezes under the snow to form a permafrost layer.  Similar to alaska skeeters.

Yeah, I was really poking fun at myself...  That thought crossed my mind but upon reflection I knew it didn't make sense that swamps were only in southern climates.  It was just limited personal experience effecting my little world.... Bucky



Right now I'll do anything to get the picture of fur flying at Beltfed's house out of my head!!!! Crutch

I was up at my usual 5:00 at the booth at 7:45 getting all of the order forms set up and spiffing up the booth for the opening at 10:00.

Mornin' all.
