That's one of the reasons I traded off my D2 for a 2 ton Chevy boom truck. ;)

A little bitty sack of parts would cost me $500 and that was back in the early 1980s.

I promise these will be the last of winter this year. Winter came on kind of hard during the time I went missing. We got a storm where it snowed 8", then went to sleet , then snow, then, rain, back to snow. Them other snows and some sleet. First picture is the small glacier slowly slipping it's way off the roof. Got to get those snow birds installed. It sleeted pellets for hours. See how it just rolled and spilled onto that cinder block? That stuff didn't melt too fast and made walking hard to do. I kept a spot clear below the bird feeder. The one picture shows the shiny crust on the surface. The snows we had after that storm would just blow off with the first wind. That one picture showing the small deep holes in the snow outside the garage door are a mystery to me. I've noticed them in snow before. There appears to be a slight yellowish tint on some

Those marks in the snow , is that a chimney I see above ???? are those marks hot spots from sparks out of the chimney maybe ?????

What you see is just outside the garage door on my stone driveway. Other than the perfectly round holes, what you are seeing is gravel that came up while shoveling. I thought the holes might be the sun heating the stones causing them to melt their way down, but the holes are round and once the stone sank in the sun wouldn't be hitting it, and these holes go all the way down. I've noticed them before but never said anything. I've noticed them outside of friend's garages as well

No I was trying to take pictures of a pickup that we were looking at out in a snowstorm and accidently clicked a picture. So I figured that's a random picture and I took it.

We did buy the pickup for my daughter: 2002 Duramax. It got her all the way back to Michigan so it must be sort of okay :)

"Spring Tide Timelapse Hall's Harbour" it is a video taken about the same place that i took that picture,shows the boats all sitting in the mud,the tide comes in,floats all the boats,the water raises almost to the top of the wharf and then goes back out.i just looked out my living room window to see where the tide was and it's almost in.after a while,i'll take you a picture of the tide in,in 6 hours it's out and the beach goes forever then.take care.Greg

very cool and thank you for the follow up info!

first thing that came to my mind was picking up stuff that gets dropped over the side :lol:

I've sailed around a good part of the world, even parts of Canada but never even heard of such a drastic tide change..

now I'll have to share this with my kids :)

My neighbor has a Smart Car. It's not silver, IT'S PINK! She painted it pink.

I told her that she would have to hold a gun to my head to get me to ride in that stupid looking thing. I would rather walk.

She laughed and said that her boyfriend said the same thing. But he doesn't borrow her car anymore. I guess that's a "Smart" idea. :lol:

At the far western end of Maryland is Red House, where two federal hiways cross same as they did before interstates. US50 and US219. The third picture I didn't take but it is US50 at Ocean City, MD at the far eastern end of Maryland. It travels straight through Washington, DC and comes out in Virginia. Then into West Virginia till it crosses the extreme SW tip of Maryland

It was quite a busy little city back then. It had a store, gas pump, and post office :lol:

There was the guy that owned the place, his elderly parents, the four of us, and another young couple with kids (he worked on a nearby ranch). The trailer we rented was right next to the crick :)

Lonely = relaxation to me. We love Hwy 50. Some of my best bike camping trips have been in the desert. Austin & Eureka are great little towns. Gotta run 50 if you want to see the "famous" shoe tree! :lol:

Never been to Nevada (just flew over it). I've been watching a bunch of YT videos and there's lots of interesting remote places to see. :)

I've made the left hand turn from US 50 onto US 219 heading north at Red House MD a few times. It's been on my preferred route the few times I've gone to Carlisle/Hershey.
