Whooo! Scared yet? Graar!
Yeah, I know. I can’t pull it off.
It’s one of those mornings here at the Secret Lair, with a featureless gray sky and lots of new snow. At time of picture I was just inside from snow-removal chores on the solar panels and under the Fortress of Attitude’s roof. One thing I hadn’t considered when I replaced the chickens’ tattered old cargo parachute with a nice new camo net last year is how much snow a camo net can hold. The weight damn near pulled down the front of the fence last time, so now I go into the chicken yard and beat the snow off the net before it gets too heavy. And after the first time I did that, I learned that one really should take extreme precautions to keep it from going down one’s neck and everywhere else. Plus the windchill on the Lair’s roof – well, the balaclava comes out once in a blue moon, but this morning before coffee it was definitely appropriate.
Hope you’re doing well. I’m still mostly doing without electricity, so I don’t promise to be back later today. Supposed to clear up and get colder tomorrow…
Um, okay, I frightened. Nah, (Waves) hi Joel!
Damn, I’m glad I’m down in The Valley where 32 is low not the high on a good day.
Hmmm, not scared. But I’ll bet the chickens were. LOL With or without the face cover.
Dat lampshade be kickin’ !!
Hope the weather calms down soon.
I’m vacillating between Silence of the Lambs

and
Kermit the Frog

Nice pic Joel. Kinda scary in a bugs bunny sort of way.
I hear you about the snow down the neck thing and I understand your discomfort. It took only one winter of using a snow blower before I learned that a pair of goggles and a thick scarf plus hooded sweatshirt were good things to use. Nothing wakes a guy up like a sudden wind change and a face full of snow.
