That figures.
The coldest darkest day of the year is my wife’s birthday.

Try and get through the day without throwing rocks at her ya dang heathen.
Are snowballs acceptable?

My dogs love snow. They’ll chase snowballs all day long.
my damn old dog Slim used to “fight” the snow blower.
he would stay out until he was freezing. I had to drag his ass in.
he was a roadie at 110 pounds too. all bone and muscle.
that was not a easy thing to do too.
he would flop in front of the woodstove until he steamed. then be jumping at the door again to go out. my neighbor used to plow up mounds for him to play in. miss that damn dog more every winter.
he left a mark in this world. my neighbors still talk about him and miss his ass as well. he was a great dog.
Dogs have the fun gene! I have a 10lb chihuahua, mystery mix, a 35 lb, beagle/black lab/mystery/mutt, a 55 lb G. Shepard/border collie mix and a 100 lb Malinois (only male) puppy, ALL, thoroughly saturated with fun seeking gene. At 73, they keep me limber and mobile. Aches and pains are no extra charge, just the standard fee.
4 hours?
Where do you live? Fairbanks?
Yeah, Alaska, where as soon as you finish breakfast it’s time to start drinking.
Yep, and then there’s those of us who just love a shot of Baileys with our coffee, just so we can say we never stop.
Bailey’s? Ya wimp. Us real sourdoughs put proper coffee in our whiskey…
Back in my drinking days, I sampled ALL of the coffee/liquor combos the barkeeps could conjur up. Hands down my favorite was Jamisons’ Irish.
yeah. I tend to like “black barrel” in my coffee
goes down real smooth. but pushing the 70 mark now a days, don’t drink anywhere near like I used too. now it once or twice a month.
so a bottle tends to last a while now.
