Pluggers by Rick McKee for April 01, 2022

my long johns are in a duffel bag on an overhead shelf in my closet as are some other winter clothes therein: gloves, scarf, undercoat, stocking cap, a stocking cap which you can attach to a baseball cap, a few pairs of socks

What are long johns? {^¿^}

Tiny drawers for holding big drawers.

Snow Plow Off …. Mower Deck On …. All of the Tractor Manual Maintenance ….Marks Spring and is next week’s project :-(

swap my long johns for shorts in dresser, but not yet, it’s only April don’t need the shorts yet…..…. in my case i need the space in the dresser so have one container in the basement for seasonal switching.

Ditto for flannel pajamas.

got the feeling this year in northern MN, that won’t be until end of April

I thought pluggers used sweatpants. The same pair every day, all winter long.

In south Alabama one never gets to put things away with confidence from January through April.Temps can drop or rise 20 degrees oveernight.

For this Plugger, it is officially spring when I put my snowblower and snow shovels away. And that likely won’t happen until about the first on May. Maybe later

For my grandpa, long johns were not tucked away until the 4th of July, then reappearing around Labor Day. We figured the practice was from his Army days in the Yukon and Alaska, during the construction of the Alcan Highway.

I haven’t put snow removal equipment away either… and this morning it snowed.

Only a true Plugger knows that….

Not here, predicting snow Mon. night/Tuesday. Usually over with about then!

Around here you can go from sweatpants to shorts in the same day and back again. I try to avoid heater to AC in the same day.

I thought that I was done with them, but after a couple of weeks of warmer weather, March went out like a lion!!

Yep, that’s a good one, but there can be many, as cited by others here. One I do is pull the markers from my driveway that guide the snow plow truck and help keep my snow-covered landscaping intact.

Now my grandfather said HIS grandfather said that wearing long underwear in summer actually keeps you cooler.

For me, it’s my winter coats and ‘woolies’ (scarfs, etc).

True, but, I’m not taking off my Hoodie until June.
