I was trying to beat it out of the bed and started going for the pistol... good thing I came to my senses...

It was kind of like the vid of the dog running in his sleep, then waking up and running into the wall.

Ok, enough story time. See ya'll this afternoon.
Dreaming about Lary in his nightgown again?

Ed, sorry about the slab but glad the contractor is honorable.

Blake, that tractor looks even better sitting on a free trailer.

Afternoon guys. Temp was 30 and dropping when I left for church. The wind was blowing out of the NW at a steady 21 mph with gusts of 30. The snow was whipping around and looking pretty. No worries about any accumulation but ice over the next couple days is a possibility. I'm wondering which one of you northerners lost his weather because I found it and would be willing to pay the postage to return it. Looking at mid teens the next couple nights to boot. Brrrrrrrrrr....

Evenin' DTR.

Blake, your dad got a good deal on that tractor! My dad has a Yanmar about that size and it's a nice tractor to have around his property. It can do most jobs but he still would like to get a skid-steer at some point.


Got a roast beef with taters and carrots in the oven right now. Should be done in about an hour or so. I was gonna slow cook it on the webber but with the high winds and snow I decided not to. Watch the Fackers fail miserably today and currently watching the Bears get the crap kick out of them by the Pats. Snow is still coming down, only a few inches on the ground but it's drifting alot with all the wind.

Maybe a shaman also to cover all bets. You are lucky to have a good crete guy.
My last pour (never again) wound up with the cement guy going in reverse knocking the back form out, I lost my wallet, it started to rain really bad and a momma moose got spooked by the dog and ran right through it after we had covered it with plastic to keep the rain off.

So was I when I posted...... I hauled plenty of fuel before the cold snap hit so the house was plenty warm for shorts.

Eggs and taters for dinner then it's off to work.

Yeah, but I can walk outside and crack open a beer, smiling in the 70* weather...

Oh, no... maybe times two...

Evenin, friends. Went shopping with the wife, then surprised her by getting her a little snack at one of the local joints... she was very happy. She said I get bonus points, whatever that means.

Ok, off to get some stuff done.

40 is too warm to be wearing anything but Lary's nightgown.

Kindle?Nook,ibook,ipod--ithink you are talking in iforeign language. Actually, I do know it has something to do with computers you can sit on the toilet with but I would still be worried about getting electrocuted.

Not for me!!!! I would push the wrong button and find myself sitting in jail for sending streaming video to Mother Teresa’s orphanage.
