Want some cheeze with that Whine?

Hey if school is cancelled, what are you whining about?

Your truck has a heater, go run it...it will warm up. I just can't believe we missed all the weather here in North Texas. Oklahoma is having all kinds of ice problems. And Waco south is getting snow.

We need one good snow up here....about a 1ft deep would be perfect.

I'm whining because I can't go and build my own high idler nor install a turbo on a buddy's truck or go and get food or go and do anything. I'm also almost outta beer and that ain't good at all.

Kerri is driving up through Oklahoma right now.....she called me when she was just north of McAlester. She FLOORED on the amt of damage there is. Most power lines are down. Trees in the road. Almost every tree has the top broken off due to the amt of ice on them. Every thing is solid white. Cranes are holding power lines off the road......AND she is from Iowa! This was a BAD storm and OK and West MO got hit hard....Im glad we didnt get any of it (I can deal with Snow and sleet, not that frezzing rain crap!).....just some minor ice on Fri....some broken branches on some trees up here......

Yeah. I've been in one of those OK ice storms. Talk about a scary night listening to 100 year old trees creek and crack and snap and transformers popping all night lighting the sky up like lightning. Definately something I don't ever wanna live through again. There's a very light coating of ice on the trees but nothing major. Lots of ice on the trucks though. I'm talking 7" ice stalagtites. And it's sleeting even harder now. Oh well.

I don't agree with Tyler on much, but I do on this. Cold weather sucks, bigtime. The way my furnace keeps running all the time, I may have to sell my truck to pay the electric bill.

Snow's one thing. Sleet and ice is another. Not to mention it's kinda windy and that sucks and it's sleeting harder. I'm also sitting at Eric and Scott's house away from the tracking numbers of my turbo.

BOOOOOO WHOOOOOO!! I'm stuck inside on a slow dial up and itching to get outside and make $$$. When you make money by doing work outside, its a crappy feeling that you know that your not making any $$$ in the next few days.

PS...I did work yesterday in this crap, for about an hr, and I said NO MORE OF THIS CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!
