Later, when I lived on Stoney Creek, I would catch rock fish. I could net some grass shrimp and use as bait. I also grew up with Walleye. I really like fresh water fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This advice is questionable. I heard of one theory that humans evolved to function best with head upright. Literally watching one's step causes one's head to look down and thus makes makes balancing that more difficult. Go running in the woods, looking straight ahead. Then try running while looking at your feet. (Ha just kidding, don't try it you'll run into a tree.) But seriously, is there any science supporting the advice to watch one's step? Big healthcare at it again trying to get you to break your leg slipping on the ice by pushing flimsy science. It's true, the best way is eyes forward and just sprint outside.

A taproom just opened down the street from me: https://phermbrewing.com/ They have two sours on the list, but I’m not familiar yet. Maybe I’ll check it out tonight after the gym so I have something to drink tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the Baltimore 'burbs have got more going on with regard to breweries than our corner of Fairfax County lately. I think it's time to switch up our typical Loudoun County brewery day-trips and head north into MD for a change. PRO: Getting the hell out of the close-in NoVA 'burbs for the day CON: Having to drive back from BaltCo / HoCo / AACo after having one, two, maybe even three 8.0+ ABV IPAs (over the course of an afternoon) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they're being total dicks about rescheduling. I tried to be sympathetic about her plight, but I still want it to snow as much as possible. Her BF will be taking her in an AWD SUV...I think she'll be ok. I had a 4:00 appointment scheduled at the local Urgent Care tomorrow, just to see a nurse to get a prescription filled. They called today to say they are closing and I can do a video visit. I never knew urgent cares closed for inclement weather. Hope it goes smoothly for your mother. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 27/10 after a high of 31 today. Definitely a little discouraged by the 18Z runs. Hate seeing qpf vanish as we approach an event. And every model is way more icy now than it was yesterday for out here. I will take the 3 inches of coming concrete in stride though. True sleet bombs are rare. I am so tired from this 2nd covid dose that I might sleep through all of the snow anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by the way—like sending pictures of snow covered decks—obligatory beer fridge shot for you. Lots of of goodies. Milk? Land o Lakes? Whipped cream?

Stormfly Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 7 hours ago, mdhokie said: Do you have a portable saw mill by any chance? A couple years ago I had a guy from up your way mill a couple oaks that I had taken down. Made some good furniture with them! My neighbor does. I would love to get some wood out of these oaks but they all suffer from rot and it's hard to get anything decent. Lots of pine, elm, hickory and maple. I'm getting too old to split with an axe, may have to cobble up some parts and build a 40 ton splitting machine! And ditto on the wood heat. I have a pellet insert but its on the wrong floor and winds up putting heat in the wrong places. I'm going to put a big Osburn in the basement and let 'er rip! It's funny how 85F feels like hell in the summer but so cozy in the winter. I haven't looked at the recent run but did something happen? Looks like we went from 7-8" down to 5.5". If this turns into a sleet bomb I'm gonna lose it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
