Well I know some of you get excited about snow, so here we go...

Yesterday, we had our first power outage of the 2025 fall/winter season. And then the temperature took a big dive!

Then we got our first SNOW about the house... and this morning White Pass looks cold! @FishyJere might need to wait for the temps to go up to fish that lake!

Based on my "wildlife and natural" forecast this could be a rough winter. (All does (I and neighbors have seen) in the area have had twins, all cow elk had twins, the pinecone production had been of the chart and the woolly bear caterpillars have all had very skinny orange bands.

Keep the fire burning!

I'm a quiver guy. Dedicated Winter and non winter tires. Michelin X-Ice Snow on the Outback have been an excellent combo.

Much respect for those prominently displaying American flags in the triangular cases. My brother, who was a Marine himself, has the flag given in tribute to the service of our father, a Korean War Marine. Semper Fi...

That flag on the mantle is for my father-in-laws service and multiple injuries in the Karean War. He went into the army and was in Korea at 17. He was from a small North Dakota town, the majority of the boys were one year older than him, he didn't want to go to war with guys he didn't know, so he tried to sign up recruiter said he had to get his parents sign off, his mom said he had to graduate high school, he asked the principal what the graduation requirements were, principal said pass the test. He took the test 2 days later, passed test with 100%, took the graduation letter home to his mom, his dad said you did what your mom asked and made mom sign off on his enlistment. And he went with all the other boys in town.

My wife had never heard much about his service, action or injury until we got married. Her dad understood my respect for ALL who have and do serve OUR country. And once in a while when he and I were sharing a beverage, something would remind him of something from Korea and he would just start sharing a memory. My wife overheard several times and later wanted all the details from me. She would ask why didn't he ever tell us/me about that when I was growing, my answer was he was sparing you from his pain and you were to little to understand. I told her I also never pass judgment on those that fight! He did what he had to do to bring home as many of his friends and himself home.

He came home a First Sargent after his last injury. Carried shrapnel in his right leg until he died. (Weird part was being on a vacation with him and sitting by the pool, and he had what looked like an ingrown hair on his knee area. The next day at the pool the area looked worse, my mother-in-law said he needed to open it up, he did with his pocket knife and a piece of shrapnel came out, that was in early 2000's!)

He was a GREAT guy!
 
Ours was Robin's dads, and she loved him a lot. I didn’t get much of a chance to know him as they lived in San Diego. He was a career sailor on the Connie and Ranger and flew with the hurricane hunters when they lived in florida among other things, from what I understand.
