Snow Days
0We ended up getting a few inches of snow during the last week here in Kentucky. I still kept my commitment to go walking every day even during the freezing weather. I have been taking my camera with me every time that I go out and have been trying to see what I can capture. I am actually looking for the cougar that my grandparents have spotted a few times but still have had no luck in seeing him. The weather here has been hovering around the 15 degree mark and I have been having to bundle up everytime that I go out.

Fun with Critters

You really don’t get to see too much wildlife in Korea. We have been enjoying our time in the hills of Kentucky. Here’s the photo evidence.
Not a happy bird.
These two were not real happy when I opened the balcony door.

Daily Walks
22 years ago
I have been trying to get some cardio everyday to keep my goals for Project 35(basically to lose 35lbs this year). I usually start walking around 1 or 2 and walk/hike for an hour or two. Every time I go out I see something unexpected. On Wednesday’s walk, I ran across a few turkeys, a bunch of woodpeckers, some whitetail deer, and a pair of bald eagles. The deer ran away too quickly for me to get a shot of them.
This turkey crossed right in front of me.
I have been chasing this Red Headed Woodpecker all around the lake trying to get a shot.

When I got back, we realized that I had turned off the faucets in our bathroom last night. The pipes froze up and so my grandfather and I hooked up a shop vac on reverse to blow hot air into the paneling that holds the pipes. It was totally my fault but he took it all in stride. Luckily, the pipes did not burst. It took us about an hour to unfreeze the pipes.
We got some snow on Thursday and today and I will post some more photos later. My grandmother is calling me into the kitchen for something that she has cooked. I swear I am going to gain 20lbs this month. Project 35 may turn into project 75.

Kentucky Lake Frozen Over
Today we went down to the lake to look for more bald eagles. We had no luck with finding any but we did see some duck hunters breaking the ice to make their way back to shore. The weather has been below freezing for 3 days in a row now. Today’s low was 9. We are supposed to get a warm front on Wednesday that is supposed to bring in some snow.
Bringing in the boat. Man, they look cold
JJ and I spent most of the day in Murray today. We needed to go pick up some groceries and then took a quick tour of Murray State University. My grandfather and I have started knocking off things on the to-do list. Tonight we began working on the garage door. I know that in the days to come the work will get less and less fun.
