We saw it too, but no updates..... I'm sure it wont be good.

Snowing, grass is white...

Well I figure I invented some new and descriptive swear words today .Put a new bearing and carrier (auger) in the toro snowblower today.Everything cool except for the 3 stupid bolts which were a major pain to keep in place.I believe I deserve a strip lion steak and mushrooms for din din tonight.

Well, even with a knee the size of a softball I got three more dry and wrapped.

Looking more and more like I'll be having some more surgery if this thing doesn't pop back into place, the pain is getting to be more than the "daddy's little helpers" can alleviate...

Must be those little yellow pills messing with my count, I have been wrapping 3 or 4 a day for a week and I still have 14 to go....oh for the wish for an employee...

Woohoo, doc says I can get a cortisone shot in my knee. Getting old young is what I seem to have been getting done today.

Well, "They" have forecast a miserable day. Rain into 5-8 of heavy snow...

"I" forecast that by the end of the day I will have put ballast in the truck and banged my head against a wall getting the blades on the trucks to plow the subs...

Yeah, there's warnings further east of us. Good ol' lake effect..... We're on the southern edge when the winds are right......
