Thankfully, we don’t get the severe tropical weather bullshit that the US does. What does happen, is that the leftover moisture from dead storms finds its way north and soaks my mud pits. So I had to skip a session. I’m a little worried about the lingering effects of the former hurricane Laura on the… Read More »
Yes! I finally got off my fat ass and hiked out to my muddy mud place! So, I didn’t beat the timer after all, but I didn’t miss it by too much. Anyway, the nice muddy area around the creek is still pretty soaked. I’d really like to get in that mud, though, so I’m… Read More »
At least I have a better excuse than being lazy for not going out to the mudpits. +40°C with the humidity is definitely not safe weather for trudging through the forest. Apparently, we’re expecting one more day of this ridiculous heat, then a day of storms and rain, then back to normal weather for the… Read More »
As I’m writing this, my little fun time timer is telling me that I should be dipping in some muddy fun in 36 days. I think I will beat this timer! 🙂 It is looking like I’ll at least be out for a hike in the next week or so, and with any luck it’ll… Read More »
All the muddy looking fields is such an encouragement. It’s a sure sign that the ground is thawing and I’ll be checking out mud pits soon! COVID-19 has me a little concerned that there will be more visitors around my favourite mud pits this year. It’s not what I want, really, but I find my… Read More »
Well finally, the weather forecast is telling me to get out of this damned apartment and get out into nature a little bit. It feels like it’s been years since I’ve spent a day in the bush! I have to admit I feel a bit lazy this spring, since I’ve spent most of the winter… Read More »
Well this ‘spring’ is certainly soggy. Everything’s flooded and surrounded with tiny bags of sand. Sandbags give me sore joints. I suppose this flooding is to be expected, although we’re having noticeably more ‘major’ floods. It’s definitely time to stop building houses in areas known to be susceptible to high water! I hope this year’s… Read More »
Yay! The sun is shining and we’re hitting double-digit daytime temperatures! This has me itching to get outside and start wearing down this nasty beer gut that seems to thrive during the lazy winter months… No worries about flooding this year! The water should be just high enough to make great muddy banks, but low… Read More »
The water is rising again. Nearly 70 mm of rain fell here the last 48 hours. Another 50 mm is forecast for later this week. I’m starting to feel like I should just go back in to hibernation and wake up again in July rather than endure this annoying spring any more! That being said,… Read More »
I decided to spend a nice warm sunny afternoon wandering around looking for some mud. I did find some. It’s still pretty chilled and the spot wasn’t deep, but it still felt great to mush it around with my feet a bit. I can’t get anywhere near any of my happy fun spots, though. The… Read More »
