With the low in low teens Sammy stayed in last night.   

 

They passed a law here in Oklahoma that makes it a crime to leave your dogs out if it's 25 degrees or colder.  

Heck I can’t keep one of our dogs inside when it’s below 25 degrees. She likes the cold air 

Wide open, trimmed up and pulling on the steering wheel my boat will run 41 mph at 6100 rpm.   I don't run like that.  Contrary to popular belief 4 strokes aren't made to run wide open all the time.  I normally cruise around 30.  The fuel table on my engine starts getting rich about 5000 rpm.

I don't think the law is a good idea but some breeds need to be in when it's cold, some thrive in the cold.  I've got a friend with a couple of those huge white dogs.  (Great Pyrenees maybe)  He keeps them in during the Summer.  They won't come in when it's cold.   

Ours that likes the cold is half Pyrenees, you nailed it 😂 

 

she has to come inside anyway but she doesn’t want to . Just stands at the door while I’m waiting and stares back outside as to say “please no daddy let me stay out here and smell the smells”

 

we let her sleep outside once a long time ago and I was of course walking outside at 4 am in my underwear telling her to quit barking and come inside 😂. 
 

we have neighbors all around so I try to restrict barking to daylight hours

We don’t let Hank sleep outside because he would bark too. Once in a while he’ll want out in the middle of the night and I too have made a trip out there in my underwear to get him back inside. 
 

It’s kinda funny how we worry about them waking the neighbors but we don’t worry about the neighbors seeing us in our underwear! 😂

My lab goes outside and lays in the snow.  Literally.

 

I'm much more worried about her in the heat of summer than I am in the cold of winter.

Every time I go to the gym I see this flock of turkeys.  There is one tom that you can tell is the dominant one.

@gimruis The one "anchored"….😂

When I took Sara out for her trips, she'd just stick her whole snout into snowbanks...searching for something I guess. Lab/Aussie Shepherd cross. 22 years since we lost her...and I still miss her.

 

I got to spend some extra company coin today. This puppy will run you around $300/hr! 
 

After 3 hrs we still didn’t find the gas main we were looking for.

 

 

Some folks leave Christmas decorations up to long . Some folks leave their Halloween stuff out to long . Taking a solo snow hike at my brothers recently  I was greeted with this crawling out of the snow. 

@scaleface A neighbor of mine leaves their Xmas lights out all year on their house. Really spruces the place up. 🙄

@RipzLipz, good thing he doesn’t live next to @gimruis

13 hrs and thousands of dollars later we found the gas main we were looking for. No it’s not the green one, it’s the glimmer of yellow at the bottom of the hole which is 10’5” down. 🙄

 

 

@12poundbass Persistents paid off 👍🏻

I hear ya.  I have a long haired dog that will lay out in the snow.

Vertical up lap 3/8 A36 steel plate single pass MIG  pulse 170 wire feed .092 trim .045 ER70S6 92% Argon 8% C02. I started to get impatient towards the end.

Did you start at the bottom ? 

@TnRiver46 yes, it’s vertical up. With the motion and pause that you have to do the beads to get wider. I don’t do vertical up often but, I need to send out these settings for acid etching to see if there is enough penetration.

I have a feeling he and I would get along. We both like to bass fish.
