one of my fav holiday videos

winter attire

With the onset of winter, the camo shorts and tshirts get replaced with the denim jeans with suede patches for durability. the sandal get replaced with the sneakers and or military boots and the jackets of choice are the thermal jacket under the carhardt trucker jacket and then the freebie north face expedition jacket for real cold.
The hats go from the camo ball cap to an assortment of thermal or wool stocking caps and the ever favorite arctic rabbit fur aviator for those real cold days..

As for hanging around the homestead some thiculate pants and a sweatshirt do the trick..
And y'all

cool lil video

Dont forget to compost

Just because the weather has turned frigid you cant forget to compost. All of the coffee grinds, greens cuttings, carrot tops, potato peels, tomato leftovers, fruit leftovers etc are all good food for your compost pile. So dont forget to take all those savings out and just pour them in. add a layer of dirt over them, and throw some snow over it for moisture..
Happy Sunday

Babylon gathering

Spent the afternoon eating and imbibing at the annual Babylon feast. Brought home about 6 pounds of assorted turkey and ham. 2 pounds of green salad and rasberry dressing. I also connived a crap load of desserts and holiday treats. The missus and the kids will be enjoying the stuff all weekend. I also rec'd a 10 dollar gift card to Chipotle and an Appalachian Trail leatherman and knife set in the gift exchange..
Since I dont eat Chipotle I will regift it out. However I will keep the the leatherman set for my own use.

Otherwise a pretty decent Friday.. And you all.
