Well today , We were putting fence posts in on the north property ...... We had a few spots that I needed to dog off into the water to keep the animals from going around the fence ...
Well, second to last fence post to put in..and I lost control of the post and post hole pounder and fell in and sunk the boat !!! Damn !! That water was cold !! and I swallowed some !!!! Well I got to the house and drank me a couple of shots of Makers Mark , thinking that will kill any thing the swamp water had in it thats bad for me !!! LOL!! Well Son in Law got a good laugh of it !!! and Glup , the Kid I had helping us had been wishing I would fall in for all the post holes he has been digging today !! We used rail road ties for the end poles so He was digging the holes for them !!! Well Im sitting here thinking how funny it must have been to see me go in !!! LOL!! Hoadie will get a kick out of this Im sure !!! LOL!! |

Did you get a sinking feeling in your stomach? Did you check for leaches in your underwear?

Watch out for water born parasites as well. There are some real nasty stuff in swamp water.
You might have to get some "White Rhino dewormer" |

Rhino..your helper looks real enthused..
y'all out there in t-shirts...& we're under severe cold warning.(Means frostbite in under 10 minutes) As for Polar Plunge..A Sq: we don't use boats...we run into the lake...over the ice @ the shore & dive in. One day - when we're sittin around the fire @ Rhino's, I'll tell ya all about the term:"shrinkage". It also gives you an honest "feel" of what those guys experienced in the N.Atlantic during WWII Hoadie |

For getting hot how about Texas it can be extreme. I went to college with a guy from Nigeria who was always complaining about the heat of a Texas summer. 105 F/40 C or higher in August. When an African complains about the heat you know you are in trouble. |

We could be..BIG one moving slowly south (Just crossing Lake Ontario now), has already made a mess of areas just outside town, here.
Another BIG one is approaching from the south is about to cross Lake Erie, & headed our way. We are under severe advisories for cold & wind, & a "watch" for heavy squalls in the North St.Catharines area. We are getting a little snow right now..but its blowing in from all directions. Should be interesting. With my luck, the two will join up right over my place! Hoadie |

LOL!!! Down here we call it Nutria itch !!! going into the swamp water where the Nutria live and getting these little red bumps kinda like pemples but dont make a head all over you !!! and it itches like crazy ..... we do have Beavers down here , have not seen any sign in the past few years though..and have not seen any Nutrias either in a while .... the State did have a $5 bounty out on the nutria Rats ....a trappers license and some 22 ammo back when it was cheap could land you a few extra bucks over a week end in the marsh !!!! all you had to bring in was the tails .... at one time you used to see a dead Nutria on the highway..about 3 or 4 every mile ..now with the bounty , people stop and remove the tails and throw the carcass into the woods !! Hoadie !! I hope you got enough beer to make it through that snow storm !!! |

First Nutria (Coypu) I ever saw was back in England. When I called the police & told them I'd seen a rat as big as a cat they didn't believe me at first. Then they told me to "just shoot the bastard" (I had a .22 rf & they knew it because of the permit & registration process). The only time I ever went rat hunting from a bedroom window withing spitting distance of Heathrow airport!
 It turns out they breed them for the fur in the UK. (Tip, lads, never buy the Mrs a "Winter Mink" coat, she might find out she's wearing rat fur)! Hoadie's storm is just passing here. So far we're lucky its going round us. Off to Wally-World for bread, milk & toilet paper!  |
