All it served to accomplish was give 4 guys more overtime. Now that they've seen they can push it outta town just as easily as pile it, that's what they do.

Awww! Is the wittle Marine chilly? What's the temp down there this mornin'? 50*?

I have one that I've offered to sell him Claude. Made for a tractor and never used I don't think. The paint ain't worn offa it at least.

Coffee's surprisingly good this mornin' seein' as how I didn't make it! I'll be back after I get the plowin' done.

Did you just THINK about telling me? First I heard of it, although I am getting old. I don't see haveing two pennys to rub together til at least afetr spring, but Jerry is looking for one as well. I was eyeballing a couple used ones at the Burnip's when I was picking up the locknut for my hub.

Claude, that would be awesome, but even more awesome would be a loader. That's what the cities use to load the snow. A lot of liability with a blower in town.

I don't know, there's always a lot of crap to drool over down there. Send me a pic, when you get a chance. I can throw a trailer on the jeep and slide down. Thanks. Got a lot of venison left too and you can meet Bailey... maybe Mike'll want a buddy of his own...?

Mornin all

Weather broke over night. Up to-10*C this AM and going to -3 this afternoon. By Friday the forecast is +3 and rain, O YEA. That should make driving fun...

Hat nice job on the painting. Should last a while, looks like good paint. Epoxy? With that extra 42hp your really going have to replace the tranny soon.

Geico you could try and sue Ottawa but I don't think you'll get to far. It's the same as yours, up to their eyeballs in debt with no hope of getting out.

Claude has your son got a bad battery? Car troubles in cold weather are a royal pain.

Chris just cut the trees about 5ft off the ground and call it good. Miss all the wire that way.

Guess I should go do something even if it's wrong. Good coffee this AM but the donuts were a tad on the stale side. First time I had one with green icing, that was icing wasn't it?

Have fun and drive safe. Later...

Got a pic of the deer that are eating the hay by the shop. Usually there are 4 but only 3 showed up this AM. NOOOO it's not in the freezer. Season is not open and that would be poaching, even on my land. And no license either. Don't know how I got two pics of the same thing up but Oh well.

too many pics to choose

loved natural, west central florida best. see why MAD made some bucks at installing fencing....so cool to walk to an orange tree and pick and eat in the garden. sad to see so many pawn shops...and know why.

other assorted pics; will post the underwater ones when i get them developed
manatees were absolutely amazing to bond with, no words needed.


eagle picture was at a trash site. beak is deformed from plastic, it did not use right wing. wildlife people were plentiful and super! one call and they were there.

wow Mad and FiverBOB- your state is amazing and beautiful! the paths were kind of scary though, but unspoiled. we would buy land just to keep it that way. did not like Tampa much. gave up on the East Coast, but did see the sunrise and sunset the same day. easy drive. Gulf Coast pic shows reef markers- they are one mile out (LONG swim against the wind!) and only get about 20 feet deep. really do need a boat next time. and better legs for standing up in sand at surf. with 80 pounds of gear. whew

just loved it, great people down there.

Wink Thanks Claude! Good Ol Dog!

I checked on email while away but just didn't want to be on a computer like I have to be at home. Thanks for caring though - I haven't heard from Dssicimek Davey in a bit and would worry more there. Geico we just love to hear from every now and then. looked through the bushes up in Ocala at john Travolta's house (police call of papparazzi blocking the gated complex entrance for a community) now THAT's the neighbor for Geico!

would get a lot more done if i shut it off probably but it is nice to hear from other folks in other places! DON'T JUST LOOK- POST here fellas, please.

Sugar mill is for Bruce- Shortround. free , just move it.hheh j/k historic site.


7 degrees out now, wind chill is -25. yes, we should have headed back to Florida but hubby had a dental appointment. boiler doing well heating house back up, son did well keeping it running. we STILL had to fill the wood trailers though---- any advice about motivating a 19 year old, let me know.

got to sort stuff to put away and start the taxes.....

JWBM, tks.

always good to hear from you

you can go to www.photobucket.com, and upload in BULK. like a 100 at a time.

yeah, Mad's wife put on a spread for us.
i don't reckon you noticed i ate half that sweet potato casserole by myself (you were to busy fussing your hubby for eating half the loaf of home made bread)


Mad's wife don't mind me fussing, she knows its all in fun, when i get seconds and thirds. and a doggy bag to go.
she had you a doggy bag, but you pulled out too quick.

wife wants to trailer bike to Florida state line, ride down from there.
i bought her a new (thicker) seat last nite.
