The old timers (those older than the current crop of geezers) used Groundhog's day to mark the half way point in the use of their winters wood or coal supply. Let me know how it works outs out for you when all is said and done.

No shadow~No shadow! :cheese:
Yeah I prolly jinxed myself. We'll get a cold snap and I'll burn a ton in a week now! Oh, I think I officially joined the geezer club. My AARP card is in my wallet! ;-)

I have a few years on you youngster, have some respect for the geezers for they have made it to geezerdom, have strong survival skills, and if they played their cards correctly no debt.

Uh, NO, we DON"T. Unless you volunteer to come plow my driveway and shovel all the steps/walks.....THEN it can snow all it wants.
Otherwise, :zip:
Looks like there is a apprentice Geezers group. I have my medicare card. And free entrance to state parks, but then I was getting in free with my retired military ID.j-takeman said:My AARP card is in my wallet! ;-)

This is all prior to starting up their CO emitting heating devices inside their fishing shacks.
ETA: Tis the season of the fall throughs.

Smokey, there's a big meeting tonight including IFW, Maine Warden's Service, PWD and local law enforcement to make a recommendation on whether or not to hold the Sebago Lake Ice Fishing Derby in 2 weeks. Living where you do, you probably know that there is no ice anywhere except for some of the coves.

Yes Smokey, I do have grave concern for those who risk going out on the ice when it isn't ready. What gets me is someone will go through the ice and the next day more go out right in the same area.
I'm ready for winter to end, the sooner the better. Already looking through the new seed catalogs thinking what I might want to try next. (right up there with pellet shopping)

Well a short while ago there was a start to ice in the shallows but when we went to the transfer station on Saturday even that was gone or all broken up. My forecast is no Derby this year unless we get two weeks of sub zero weather. Even the brook that runs through the lot here is fairly free and the pond isn't safe to walk on. I'll put it this way you ain't going to walk to Frye to check your cottage.
