Howdy folks, first time I saw the sun I believe since Dec 15.....Snow is shrinking as we are almost to 40 degrees here today, I hope to be able to find my trailer spare tire my Bro in law took out of my truck and set on the ground about 3 weeks ago......not quite sure where that spot is just yet but hope to see the top of it soon

I can see asphalt under the ice on the driveway.... wow the things that excite you in Winter

Mornin' all!

-27* this AM.... Kids off to school, Mama to work(still sick and only expecting a half day) and I'm finally getting to the intake gasket on my Mom's truck.... Oh what fun. 99 GMC with a 350. Why exactly is it that I can't use a timing light to set the ignition timing anymore?..... Oh yeah, engineers.

Shoveling snow is peasant work......I will wait in here where it is warm and let the Spring sun take care of that stuff This action has a terrific byproduct as well...... I save a lot of money on fuel by hibernating as well

All done. Even scraped off the hard packed stuff at the end of the driveway...over 6" thick. Neighbor saw me shoveling while he was shoveling. We have exceeded 4ft of snow and its only January. A record.
I did not do the garage pad, lawn, RV area or roof. That will get the Older Twin solution. zzZZzzzZZZzzz

We seem to get just enough snow required to make people forget how to drive.

Question 26
If the road is covered in a layer of ice or snow, you want to:
a) Attempt to drive the legal speed limit
b) Drive on the shoulder so you can overtake slower traffic in an attempt to maintain the legal speed limit.
c) Follow excessively close to limit the blunt force of a multi-car collision - effectively using the car in front you you as a buffer.
d) All the above.

e) after all of the above hit reverse while applying the horn and repeat.
