Evening everyone!

Finished up doing the deletes on my friends 08 dodge this morning. Had to do some repairs to the wiring on the snow plow onhis 97 dodge. Went over to his grandpas and removed an old wood burner out of the shop so his grandpa can install a gas heater instead.

Got some snow today, about 2 inches worth. Weather is gonna stay snow and or freezing rain for the next couple days.

I'm fixing the hood on dads loader tomorrow, he dropped something on it a few years ago and now wants to fix it.

Been outside all day cutting the trees that have invaded the drive and avoiding moose. They love the newer growth on the tops of birch trees and come running when they hear a chain saw. Later!!!

Ok--I give up. The moose have won! Let them have at it until tomorrow. Its dark, they knocked over the gen and lights and my little old camera doesn’t take good pics in the dark but at least you can see their little beady eyes. Its after ten here and they wont let me get back to cleaning up! At least they wont stomp the C-saw. You cant tell from the pics but She is big, at least 1100 lbs and very protective of her two year old.

Man, this place was rather dead last night. Hope everyone is just busy and not sick or something.

Welll this blows!

Pouring rain right now, supposed to turn over to ice/sleet this evening and 8-10 inches of snow tomorrow.. winds at 40-50 have them calling for white-out conditions and extremely slick roads...

The girls were to come over tomorrow to celebrate Christmas with us but I think it will have to be canceled....no sense in them being out and about in THAT....

Guess I got to just settle for being stuck in the house with the BOSS for a day or two by ourselves.... hmmmm

Well, better go get my errands run before the weather starts changing later today,
Hope all of you have a great holiday, Be SAFE and have a very very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

CD& The BOSS
