Re:water cooler 23 Feb - 1 Mar

Hey SR, did you get your driveway fixed yesterday?

Spent 2 hours yesterday shoveling snow away from the rental house 'cuz water was standing about 2' deep around the edges of the foundation, and starting to seep in.
All's better now.
Had 3 stores in the area with roofs caving in 'cuz of the snow/rain load.

Morning SH,<br>Rained all day yesterday, so I went shopping. Didn't even buy anything.<br>Got the tractor fired up and warming right now. Gonna get out there and fix the drive and get another load of firewood before the &quot;weather&quot; starts again. Looks like snow and freezing rain for most of the week. Just hang tight and I'll get it headed up your way ASAP.<br>See y'all later this morning. (I sure wish the tractor had heated seats like Clifford).

OH NO YOU DON'T SR
Ed,,,,,
Fire up that snowblower! I'll get the one my Dad has,,,, We can use bungee cords to strap them onto our front bumpers and head towards shortrounds place. With luck,,, we should be able to intercept that junk before it gets half way and then we can run it right back to his driveway. ;D

Dennis, Works for me........snowblowers on stun, Sir.....full speed ahead!

It was cool watching my 8hp TroyBuilt throwing snow all the way across a 4 lane street last weekend. HMMMMMMM maybe if I turbocharged it......and added a little Nitro to the fuel mix...... :



OOOps Scotty,.... no Montezuma's revenge for you huh?

I understand theres been a little snow in the east. Its not snowing here in MB. Thats because its -40 freaking degrees here this AM. (Pick a temp scale) High? today -20C (0F). Its the last half of Feb. and should be 20 degrees warmer . decided not to start greatwhite today, so will ride the sled the 35 miles to the poker derby today. Have a great day everyone.

Hey SR, Dennis, think we could shoot that frozen precip up to GreatWhite's neck of the woods?

Re:water cooler 23 Feb - 1 Mar

Hey SH,<br>I think we could do that. I've got an idea for a jet stream plow blade. We could start pushing from here and get it up north, where it belongs, in a couple of days. Head on this way and gather materials as you go. Got the welder ready. Figure it would take more than 5 or 6 CTD's or 47 P(O)S's.<br>It was weird this morning. Was just finishing the drive and noticed bands of sleet moving out across the pasture. They didn't look to be more than 20ft wide. Kinda like smoke drifting. Strange.<br>OBTW, if y'all hurry, wife will have a big pot of corned beef and cabbage ready by the time you get here. Beer is sitting outside and is cold.

Re:water cooler 23 Feb - 1 Mar

Mornin all,<br><br>Sorry about all that lousy weather all around. I heard Scotty was snowed in and could not reach the airport to head to Punta Dunta (wherever that is ??? ??? ) Some little Yogi Dogi instructor was left at the airport practising by herself. If he ever makes it, I hope she can straighten him out. :P<br><br>Lousy weather here today, too. Rained all night. That crazee sun is out AGAIN and going to be 76 today. Man, day after day - - blue skies, run the AC, no snow - - how boring can it get. I might have to jump into the pool again today. :-* :-*<br><br>Have a good one, ya'll.<br><br>Snorklin'Bob
