THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

 

Mornin. Decent night last night, had a great weekend with the family. I could use some more of those three day weekends.

Off to work.

 

Just wait till you actually get to meet me...

Morning Yall

 

Maybe, but I can speak in complete, multi-syllable sentences, have all my teeth and don't draaaawl out my words when I talk.

 

You have all your teeth.. There just in your pocket

 

Better that then YOUR'S in my pocket!

 

I couple things I've learned about you girl. 1) Based on what I've seen and what you've said, you'll do anything to be the center of attention.

2) Don't look for me to wish you luck with the traditional, theatrical phrase. You might just do it!

Hold on just a minute. Didn't you just have the vet pull one of those a couple weeks ago?

Morning gang!

 

Yes, but all the teeth I have left are mine!

 

That's fine. I was just checking to make sure the memory fountain was recirculating, at least a little.

 

WHEW! got about 10 in of snow over night -Fortunately we are suppose to get a bunch more this-afternoon & evening Almost thought we were going to run out oh yea & another storm Thursday

Claude

 

Old Man winter sure is dishing out his share of extremes this time around.
On average between snowstorms and blizzards we are gaining 2 inches of snow per day. Not one day in January had gone by without snow falling.

Yesterday was a wake up call for me on just how deep it has gotten in the yard. Kind of an optical illusion similar to BobbysPaintedOns. I have been parking on the garage pad out back. That pad is slick under the snow. As I was backing out, the front end started walking sideways and as I was correcting it, off the side of the pad went the front left. So I stepped out and sunk deep. I was looking eye level with the side of my drivers seat! Got the bobcat coming over to clear out some of this tomorrow.

CC = Coffee Corner
CC = Coconut Crusher

Time to clean out the fish tanks. woo hoo

 

I thought you said you had been shoveling. Guess it's time for a bigger shovel.

 

LOL I went and got a bigger shovel twice. I already wore the bottom edge of the scraper/plow one. 60 ft of double driveway and the walkways out front are enough. Besides, I do not normally shovel the lawn or the RV pad.

 

I would suggest that you start.

 

Afternoon... Just stopping by the BR for some CC We've also got some SN coming in on Thursday. Not looking forward to breaking out the SS.... again
