Hey Maineaahhs...

Freddy, Sterling, et al.,

How you guys making out with the big meltdown ?????

I read on sledme.com and other boards that the Aroostook river is having some big time ice jams.
Perhaps it is time to get a pot of hot coals to help melt it a bit.

Looks like our deer friend is going for a ride!!

Pictures taken as the ice was running in the St John river in the Allagash..

Awww, Poor lil' deer.

Still snow in the woods. Potholes are everywhere. Some larger than others. Here's a pic from todays newspaper.

It got up to 54 yesterday! Wooohoooo!

Just a little rut in the road...
plenty of room to go 'round!

Yup. The St. John river let go on Sunday. 3 weeks earlier than last year. Big time flooding last year!! Not this year. Less snow. Been raining here for 3 days and suppose to rain the rest of the week. Like I said in another post, I won't be cutting the grass til the middle of next month. I'm starting to see brown patches in potato fields, but not on my lawn! Still at least 10" of snow on it!

See, the damned global warming from the keystoker!
Ready for a TT load yet? Get a friend (everyone in Maine is a 'friend') and order it up! Ice out is early for you. The small lakes here are open, the bigger ones are looking pretty porous and gray....a windy day and just maybe....

Hows that working out convincing the wife you only burn 50 lbs a day? I'll bet 120 is closer to the norm in cold weather.
Seen Greg in your travels? Or better yet do you know the building in question location? Inquiring minds want to know!
Ask 'The Mayor' for a new 'spud' smiley, that would be distinctive for your area, and a 'maritime smiley' with a 'lobsta' in a trap for freddie's area. From what I read here, a 'lobsta trap' with a 'keystoker emblem' in it might be appropriate for most of maine!

The small lakes here are nowhere close to being open!

I told her we'll go back to oil when I run out of coal. Probably the end of next week. Filled up for $2.19 a gallon. Haven't seen it that low in a few years.

No I haven't seen him. Called his number, but no answer. I've been asking around about the building and nobody seem to know. Sorry.

I would not say we are having problems with flooding but the local small rivers are higher then anyone can remember them after the 3 to 3.5 inches of rain we got 2 days ago. It takes 24 hours for the rivers to come up and they sure have! Sorry, no pics, just water flowing in places it usually doesn't. We tend not to build in these areas in Maine for some reason.
