On those lines ...

With the lack of precip here this winter, we don't have the same levels of standing water down by the shore or back in the forest. We might have a light mosquito season this year.
Last summer there was so much rain, the peeper frogs stayed in the field all season eating mosquitos, not nearly as bad as expected.
It was so weird to see frogs in the grass all season.

They’re so loud at night in the canyon I live in. All through the creeks they chirp away…we have a pond we lovingly call Frog Pond that we are waiting to be filled by tadpoles soon. Gonna have to start checking once a week

There was a LONG period of time where the pond was completely dry…like a decade. As soon as the water came back, we had tons of frogs and toads that next spring

Soon we'll hear the croaking of the big bullfrogs too. A few nights last year while out for my cones, they were so loud that I actually wanted the geese back. Some of them get to be the size of casaba melons.

Then not long after the froggies come a-croakin', the carp will come a-sloshin'. The males hang around the shore weeds and fertilize the eggs. They splash around pretty aggressively whilst doing said fertilization too. Local guy said they fight with other males for the "honour". (Go away little squiggly red line ... there is a U in that word!)

And until we moved here, I never knew that carp were as large as they are.

The only carp we have around here are the Koi fish in rich peoples decorative ponds

We have big fishies around here also. The stripers are starting to come up the rivers along with Sturgeon. There are big carp out there also, caught one on a jig when I was fishing for shad. (Poor man's tarpon.)
We have Leopard tree frogs and toads. When it warms up we can hear thousands of them in the evenings.

Thought the f-250 was kinda a little bitch pushing that last storms 30"+ roof slide by my shop.

It drops two stories and hits the ground and it instantly turns to cement........then this stuff sat a few days too.......

Then got out and realized I didn't lock the hubs lol not used to that.....haven't had to in a while :lol: :lol: :lol:

today rained non stop ALL day long. Such a gloomy day. its just like the PNW around here. I thought i might stick around but today was the day of recognition. I am leaving in May. I cant work with these disrespectful idiots mor than a couple months. My coworkers are complete assholes. One is an alcoholic racist obnoxious smelly bastard and the other one is a motor mouth from hell who wont shut up and complains non stop. They both complain non stop. I submitted my app for a gig in Upstate NY for more money and cheaper housing. In the mean time I will explore as much as I can like... the White Mountains and some coast stuff like Portsmouth, but not big on the coast, more mountain stuff.
