Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
this guy came down our street and slid into the sidewalk.
sees my 2 trucks and asks if i can give him a yank...i would, but i can't even get into my trucks. so i hear him over there revving the bejeezus out of it, after about 10 mins of spinning his tires up to 80mph, i heard a loud bang.... and how his day is going now... ![]() |

X2. My wife is terrified of ice since she wiped out on it.

Jan '95 I will never forget. Overnight we got just a couple inches of snow, then sleet, then freezing rain by morning. The weird thing was, it was warm enough in the upper atmosphere for rain but down here it was bitter cold. So it froze hard instantly. And it was a hard steady rain, so it built up fast. No one got to clear anything off before we had a solid inch of hard ice on absolutely everything. Then, the whole month of January the temperature never got above freezing. Permafrost for a month! Two guys had a scaffold board on two ladder jacks on the side of a garage. They were maybe 6' off the ground, the ladders slipped out, and the fall killed both of them. There was no work at all on my project for about a month. The world was on hold. You had to literally chop out foot prints to walk anywhere. When it thawed, there were digging bar cuts into concrete everywhere. Tons of collateral damage. Speaking of collateral damage. I had my '72 K/20 Cheyenne Super Custom Camper sitting out and it received a lot of damage. It had a re-paint on it and masked edges lifted. Some of the side trim and one fender emblem got wedged loose. And the day it finally warmed up, the glaciers sliding off ripped the wipers and antenna off

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
falling into my carport, my patio, really pushing on my camper...
kinda glad we couldn't reach the roof of the crewcab, it still had ice to cushion the blow when the ice fell off the overhead power lines. haven't been able to get the canopy door open to check, but it looks like it pushed part way thru the fiberglass our front hedge has got about 2' shorter... but we're hoping to move later this yr or next yr. our house has become so dam valuable, we might be able to swing an early retirement. i was figuring "freedom 75", but may happen earlier, some developer bought the 3 houses across the street from me and is building them stupid monstrosities (there went our view of the mountains...) and a development sign just went up on 2 more houses 1 house away from me... ![]() been looking at property up north, prices are more down to earth and every place we have looked at has acreage and....most importantly, a shop. everyone up there has a dump truck, logging truck, heavy equipment so everyone also has nice big shops ![]() |

Dieseldawg, I'm going to quit complaining about the cold weather around here after seeing your photos.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Mmmmyummy! I'm a fresh ingredients guy myself.
Last week I had left over ground chicken taco meat and made a pizza with it. Salsa verde, Mexican four cheese blend, taco meat, refried black beans, chopped pablano pepper and onion bits (also cooked in the taco meat), and some pickled jalapeno slices. Out of the oven i crumbled some blue corn tortilla chips over it along with sazon and adobo. Before going in I grilled marinated chicken breasts last night (smoky habanero). With leftovers I'm going to make another pizza tonight!

We've had a heck of a winter, even for us.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I don't have any photos, but the story of our family moving to California from Minnesota includes a reported 38 cumulative feet of snow in Minneapolis, the year we moved out. I was 3+, so don't remember a lot of it. I'm hoping that I never see that kind of snowfall. I lived through 2 winters in Idaho; that was enough cold to last me a lifetime.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
PS, I wanted them to run awhile to get the fuel moving, and everyone of these trucks started up when I turned the key. None of the Fords did though.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Holy cow!!!!
![]() I had to go to the Post Office today. They wont deliver to my house in Weldon because of the dirt road. If it doesn't fit in my mailbox at the end of the road I have to pick it up. I don't mind, it's close, and they all know me and are real friendly. There's never a line (small town) Just the occasional old bity that won't stop talking. I never say anything. I respect my elders. And it takes quite a bit to be older than me. My wife said that we probably had a couple packages there. I walked in and said that my wife said that we may have a couple of packages. They started laughing and said "you're going to need to borrow a box Paul'. It seems that my wife went on a little shopping spree on the internet. I'm going to return the box tomorrow. My wife told me that there was more coming tomorrow. ![]() ![]()
