It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
Morning. Slackers is right, where is everybody? Finally, a breakroom with a decent name. Scott, did you work on that all week to get it just right?
Better be nice and not make any comments on the coffee.
Looks like another gorgeous day down here. Scotty, beginning to think that this year you are going to end up with a summer of only a few days of bad sledding.

Hey, I just mopped there!
Finally seeing some warmer days, and nights. Time to push the plug out of the igloo and wake from hibernation. Got a chance to survey the wind damage yesterday. Found parts of the shed and enough fire wood for next season. 14 garbage cans, 3 lids, and a BBQ grill. Going to have to wait a while for that big snow drift to melt down before I can figure out whats under it.

Afternoon gang. On my way home from Ft. Lauderdale. Nothing like flying to a beautiful place with perfect weather only to sit in meetings for 8 hours a day
Oh well headed back home to typical Cincinnati rainy, crappy weather.

Hi Bob.
Lots of wet snow with no wind here. The forecast has raised our snowfall total for Monday and Tuesday.
Lets see...I can say that its nice because there is no wind and the temperature is 33F. Or I can pack the Speedo and wander down to Bobby's.
