Hi Folks,
"Here we are again. Hold tightly while we touch the sky. There it goes again. Waving us goodby." UNREAL... 2 more days of rain and warm temps. Of course "s**t happens. But that doesn't make it easier, and the frustration level increases.
This kind of weather pushes many outdoor folken to do things that they might not do otherwise. After weeks of conditions like these, the frustration level kind of mounts up.` Not to mention if you are someone who makes their living in the outdoors, it can change the equation. Will Gadd has some things to say about risk-taking, and how he feels about if these daze. If you're on FB you can read his thoughts here:

My level of risk taking has changed over the years. But of course that might have something to do with my current age (76). [wry grin] Personally I would prefer to go wait it out and to the gym when the weather is like this. Of course YMMV, and far be it from me to criticize.
Regardless of the ice conditions, Happy New Year folks. I hope that 2024 is a happy, healthy and prosperous one for you all. All my best.
