    saw a resturant owner/chef take a leak into the greese trap in his prep kitchen, zip up and continue cutting potatoes for moosaki.

    Spring is over.
    It will be 87 degrees here tomorrow.

    All the above, plus an afternoon of strong thunderstorms, lightning, wind, tornado watches and warnings. Hoping we don't get hail beating down our blueberry blooms, and other young plants. Welcome to North Alabama.

    The north does seem to have had to waited a little longer for spring, than the south. Spring sprung early here in Jax, unlike last year winter just seemed to drag on and on...

    So does that make phil http://www.groundhog.org/more-to-know/faq/ right or wrong

    Signs of spring??
    ** Pulled out my headnet from storage and laid it out ready for the next trip.

    ** Got my Herbal Armor insect repellent out and ready.

    ** Don't have to carry my down parka or my down booties or down pants, etc.

    ** The Exped downmat can stay at home. It's a hassle to inflate anyway.

    More efficient to leave the ice scraper in that little pocket on your door, that way it is always there. I am all about maximum efficiency, with everything.

    Spring? It was 95 last Saturday, and 100 on Sunday. No rain for 6 months.

    I went to the gear store and spent a ton of money on stuff that I absolutely did not need. I couldn't go hiking so I took a trip to the store instead :/
