Red Mosquito

Everyone in my neighborhood has a snow shovel for cleaning up sweet gum seed pods. Sometimes they get used for snow.

The neighbor kid just borrowed it to walk around and try to make some money. How much of a cut should I ask for?

I'd go with a subscription service. $5 a month paid in one lump sum of $80 every January.

still cold af. half a foot of snow feels trivial at this point.

It's hot. Gonna go dip my nuts in the sea.

dude...can't wait to be sun soaked and have my bag retreat in the frigid north atlantic

4 degrees this morning

52 in Paris..just back from the Bastille farmers market with a bag full of goodies...

eat some foie gras for me

so cold

Insane storm outside

it just took me like 3 to 4 hours to shovel out at -38. light frostbite up to my elbows. lol. and now I just saw an indigenous dude just strolling outta the bush with a lit dart hanging off his lip. yeah buddy.

dead snow blower and a nor'easter incoming. side note, there are no snow blowers for sale within a 50 mile radius of where I sit

We’re supposed to be well south and west of the worst of this one, but it’s already snowing and sticking on the roads so I’m wondering if we’ll actually get slammed.

bombogenesis

lights flickering already and there's only like 2 inches falling

but it looks very sticky and the wind is pretty strong

we got like 4 inches now

took a look out back and i see a neighbor's tree dropped a massive 15-20 foot limb and smashed a section of my fence

looks like it fell in between two arborvitae though so fingers crossed won't need to replace those

he has some extra sections on the back where another neighbor double-fenced so in the spring i think we can cannibalize those and replace the section

if this really is 2 feet at this wet/heaviness this will be a very bad storm

saw that the town south of me already 10% have lost power

seems almost inevitable the rest of us will too

i will need to print out pornography on paper to get through this

High winds? 4” shouldn’t take down a tree.

it was a sick looking tree ... lumpy stuff on the trunk and usually drops little bits during storms. the woodpeckers like it which means there are prob infestations of bugs in it. it's huge too, like 30-40 feet tall

we had already been through a month of concrete ice which likely weakened it. plenty of single digit temp days

but yes there are some pretty big wind gusts right now so that was prob what did it
