Figgerd I'd go ahead and get the jump on some of our early birds and open up shop.....er, breakroom. Got the coffee set to start brewing at 4:30 sharp.....pot of hot water for our resident water boy too....donuts are in the fridge, help yourselves. Gonna be super busy next week but I'll check in when I can. You People stay safe. I gotta get back to work.

Later.

 

You want ME to make biscuits and gravy? ME? LOL! I Was banned from the fire house kitchen, you really don't want me cooking ANYTHING! Altho, I bet I could handle making the gravy. After-all, gravy is just whatever meat you want, all chopped up real fine, with hot water added to it to make it runny. Yeah, I can handle that!

More snow, ice, wind but mild for a few days before returning to the ice box.

Surgery got moved to Feb 7 due to all the injuries...folks falling on the ice and MVA's.

I get to stick it out for one more week! Woo Hoo Not

 

Freakin insomnia....... All I wanna do is go to sleep. Have to be back to work at 7p for another 12hr shift....I think I can, I think I can..

Oh well, what to do? Breakroom ain't no fun this morning.....Wake up!!!!

 

Morning

 

Indeed it is....for another hour and 5 minutes!!! Howdy girl how you been?

 

Let it be known from this day forward that when I say "Morning" it is not to call out what time of day it is. It is actually how I say "Goodmorning" but I don't fully enunciate the "good" part.

I'm tired of that reply "Yes it is" and any form of that. <--- I would have liked to say that with a lot stronger language but in the interest of being nice I expect that that simple sentence gets my point across.


So, does this reply indicate how I've been?

 

Shorts, very sorry that you have a huge burr stuck under your saddle blanket

If it helps, we have missed you.

 

Thanks Tallguy. I guess at 4 going on 5mths its bound to happen. We are in it

 

Is it morning yet? Still dark out. Another below zero morning. Had to take the heat gun to the door, frozen in the door frame. Spent about 30 minutes out yesterday trying to clear my driveway and my fingers started get frostbit through my gloves.

 

Go kick up some dirt Shorts, it sometimes works for me, just don't hit any brickwalls, they won't do any good... I know that

Everything here is going absolutely great, weather is crap, stuff breaks, kid is sick, I'm about to go hide under my bed

Is it bad to be looking forward to going to work tomorrow, just because then I'll have free coffee, is it bad when that's all it takes to make you feel better?

Well, it can't get much worse, so might as well just keep going.

Gone hiding...

Slev

 

Cougar, I suspect that a door frozen in the frame is Mother Nature's way of telling you to stay inside NOT grab a heat gun and melt your way out

Apparently our nuce weather ends tomorrow, it is supposed to be below 0F the rest of the week with wind and snow. I cant really say I am surprised, this is usually our coldest time of year and we have been pretty spolied the last week ot two.

Bye bye wonderful chinook....

 

Howdy all....

Not much doing in my part of the great state of Kansas today... we were supposed to get some rain last night, didnt happen.. sunny, dry and forcast highs in the 60's and 70's for the next few days... have I mentioned that all you folks getting snow are .....nevermind..

and Shorts, any day vertical qualifies as a "good morning"..beats the alternative

Thanks Chris, Heidi, Slev. I'll be looking for the pool boy.
