Sounds like FiverBob has his belly full .... roll him on to the couch and prop his feet up. He will be an easy snow-scud target for about the next 12 hours .

Mopar1973man ... there's no rest for the wicked !!! Hope you are at least enjoying a cup of eggnog while you are hard at it.

The warm weather melted all the snow. What was the point of moving up here anyway ??? .
My brother in Montana said that a few days ago there was hardpack snow all around and temps in the negatives .. and then a chinook blew in and brought 60 degree weather to make sure everything was nice and muddy. At least he got some mtn. lion hunting done !!!

Talked to the wife and kids and they had a great Christmas ... time for me to sack out for the evening.

Cheers !!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all on the DTR. A special THANKS to all who have served in service to our country, both past and present, as I remember the holidays when it was my turn.
As for the best gift I got: The joy of my three year old son as he opened his gifts, as I thanked GOD for his gifts.

I always get things I NEED, but really hate to buy myself. (I'm surprised I don't get toilet paper!)Besides, I already have everything I want. I'm just thankful that I can realize how good I really have it!

I still haven't seen a new toilet brush however. I guess I can take the SOS pads in the sink an' wrap 'em around a stick!

Well Guy and Gals...

I had a fun day of trying to fix a car that had froze up from the extreme cold we had a week ago. Blew out 2 freeze plugs and cracked the manifold. The owner never checked her anti-freeze and it was so watered down it froze solid! Never the less it going to need a new manifold...

Then on the flip side I lost my aux backup lights... The de-icer that they use out her attacked the ground lead to the relay. So It was time to re do this. While I was there I upgraded the bulbs on the axle to 100 watt aircraft landing lights. Then re wired the relay differently so it was high up in the tail light area to keep it dry as possible. Boy flip on my back up light now you can see a 1/4 mile behind you now! Feel sorry for anyone that has there high beam on behind me...

But other than that I had a wonderful day...

As for ham and turkey.... Every where I go everyone is asking if I want a turkey or ham sandwich... Either I will sprout a curly tail or feathers or maybe both... Kinda fun to see that happen... I know... Drink a cup of the DTR coffe and that will cure you... Just scrape off the floating crud and hold your nose!

It all good chaikwa....

Oh ... I don't miss it too much. I woke to find 20* and 3 inches of fresh powder !!! Made the slooooow 20 mile drive to work just in time to find out that the Cap'n gave us a snow day. Good thing I have paperwork to catch up on ... or I might've been a little peeved.

First time I have shoveled snow in 10 years
