That's pretty cool. One of my shipmates lives in Kew Weird, or at least he used to. Make sure you go to Captain Tony's and get drunk.

I’m retired from drinking, pretty sure I consumed more alcohol in my 20’s than most do in a lifetime.

Nowadays when I’m in a new place I visit a local AA meeting

Anyone else checking out the Northern Lights tonight?

This is the brightest I have seen then in western MN.

Spectacular reds and greens. There is yuge patch right above our place and literally everywhere the eye can see from the hill by our house they can be see with the naked eye.

Supposed to be over central Sconnie tonight…

From Quartzsite AZ. last night around 9pm. Supposed to be better tonight, but we got clouds.

It’s called the Magic Circle. It’s actually on GAIA.

First snow!

Well I just lost my shit on a bridge tender over the VHF because he was being a fucking cunt! The Captain came up early to watch and was like dude just go bed and calm down.

Fuck bridge tender, those pricks.

As seen on Tug Hill at Highmarket today...

It's been awhile since it has been 21⁰ with full sunshine and relatively no wind. It's a fucking heatwave!!!!!

Enjoy!!!

The low here this morning was -13⁰F.

Sunny and 38⁰ here today. The sun is getting strong.

-18⁰F for the low temperature this morning. Hopefully that will be the last of double digit below zero mornings. Temps are forecast to be in the 40s later this week and low 50s by early next week.

Have you got a lot of snow? We had a lot about a week ago. A recent warm up combined with the March sun has done a number on the snow pack.

Record snow, really was not prepared for it either. The snow I shoveled off the roof makes a staircase from the ground to the roof lol
