Spring time is here! Well not quite officially but we can see it coming! It is "spring forward" time for daylight savings though. Don't forget to set clocks ahead that need it tonight.

One step closer!

Clocks set! The weather has been really nice here again, have even been outside digging in shorts. Rained pretty good the other day and melted all the snow as well........I'm ready! Doo' ya!!!!

It was beautiful all weekend here, was out shooting all day Saturday in a t-shirt just soaking in the sun. The nice weather melted all the snow and turned the dirt road into some nice mud, giving me a chance to wash the Jeep too! It was getting pretty dirty, what with all that shiny paint all over the damn thing. Now it's happy again, all dull tan and clumpy.

Super nice up here too, looks like all week. I have mixed emotions. On one hand I really really really need to make money from plowing, on the other.... spring is my favorite time of the year and I can't wait to get started with the summer biz and mining. I fly fished locally yesterday and will again on Thursday, we're getting some excellent insect hatches on the Colorado and the fishing is spectacular now if you can handle wading in the ice water. Right now the town is filled with spring break folks, always kinda exciting.... then it'll be mud season which turns this into a ghost town for about a month.... which the locals love!

You should really consider the knife making and leatherworking as a winter moneymaker Chris, you've got the skills to do it and make money.

Thanks Brandon!
I want to do that but it's another $1500-$1800 investment for a good belt grinder setup. Without that machine, I'm far too inefficient to make viable money at it. If I have a great year with biz this summer I may be able to swing it. Eventually, I plan to supplement my income into the retirement years with it though.
