On my work phone from the ceo. Do you think he will be there??? :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Goodness...use your imagination, you know exactly what my thoughts were to that message!

We are in the heart of that 1000 mile snow storm right now. Looks like we have about a foot of snow and expecting still another 6". I plowed it early this afternoon only because my wife was in town and needed to get in the driveway. You can't tell it was ever plowed now. The wind is picking up to 30 mph with -7 windchill so everything is drifting too. I have been walking to the shop every hour all day, it's about 150 feet and down a flight of stairs. Every time I go, you can't see my footprints. This last trip I was post holing my way down there, snow is just below my knees deep. I give up at trying to at least keep those stairs shoveled, it's futile. I just decided to make marines blanks tonight. I don't need any, so they would be just for future stock, but they take 2 hrs to cut each one, so I don't need to trudge down to the shop as often. I have no photos, it's dark outside and I don't want my iPad to get wet in the snow. If I remember I can take one tomorrow before I break my back shoveling a path.

Hehe...this isn't porn. This is my bulldog, Meatball. He won't even leave the porch, just steps out the door, pees on the porch and wants right back inside.:biggrin:

Exotic Blanks is working overtime!!!

Yes, we are both at the office (drove in when the snow was about 6" deep, in the corolla rental car--an adventure)! Now, the parking lot at the office is a foot deep!! The bar next door gave up on the superbowl before the end of the first quarter--everybody got in their "pick-m-up trucks" and went home!!

My poor, sick Durango is buried under the snow they plowed off about noon--so driving it home is not an attractive option. Feel free to place orders!! We are pretty well caught up and by tomorrow evening all should be back to normal----if you consider 3 feet of snow next to every road "normal"!!

We are safe--that's really all that matters!
Be careful on the roads, Jeff!!

Here, the major roads are clear--if I could get out of the parking lot and down the half mile of roads that are not plowed, the rest of the way home would be possible, I think. But I prefer being stranded here, rather than stuck in the median in a rented Corolla!

Good night, John Boy!!

Ok...no more of that! Snow is up to my twins and last ten feet to the shop is belly button deep. It's impassable. I guess shop is closed until tomorrow. I will have to get my front end loader down there to clear a path.

Best tool I own, bought her new about 15 yrs ago and only mechanical breakdown she ever had was a $2 hydraulic coupler failure. Made for a good tax write off for quite a while too! I still get to write off the diesel fuel.

I plowed my driveway, 25x150 feet, then down a steep hill, across front of shop and up a slight hill to the stairs in just over an hour. Plowing grass without tearing it up is challenging. My hand were about numb as could be without a doctor injecting them with freeze meds. Meatball was the most excited, he had held in his number 2 for about 36 hrs and now finally has a place to drop his land mines. :highfive:

Thanks Eric but I am not competing in any contests.
