    I tried on two different computers and a iPad with the same results, it has to be something in the software on the forums server and there is no way to contact anyone.

    It's just a catch22 What did Etherian tell the Doctor " Doc. i think i am crazy i don't want to fly anymore missions over Germany. Doctor told Etherian if you don't want to fly anymore missions over Germany, you surly not crazy."
    Catch22.

    We have moderaters out here all the time. If you put @ in front of a person's name, it will tag them and let them know. So it will catch their eye. A few will be around to say hi. Just give them time. Their all volunteers.

    It landed across a wood rack and a compost bin. No damage.

    The snow and wind last night brought it down.

    I tossed it aside to be dealt with later.

    Great solution! It even tried to aim for his deceased buddies I see.

    12 inches of heavy snow.

    The last couple of hours, it warmed up a bit.

    I didnt measure but we got about the same. Warmed up here too and the snow was sticky which made the shoveling a bit easier. Landlord plowed and i went down and cleaned the Murano off. On a heavier snow we'll park down below as it makes for easier plowing with vehicles gone.
    She had to baby sit. Cleaned the PU off too, which is unusual for me. Having some lunch and going back out to shovel more. The exercise felt good as did the fresh air. No firewood making here. :(
    Work safe my friend.

    Easy on the back. Different motion/muscles in play than splitting wood.

    That reminds me of a time when I was on vacation, and driving thru Yellowstone Nation Park. I think it was in the northwest part of it, and the wind was blowing (seems like it's always blowing out there) and tall almost limbless tree fell across the road, right in front of me. Luckily, I was driving slow, and I actually seen it falling and stopped. It fell about 20ft in front of my truck. It wasn't that big, and a few of us, were able to drag one end of it, enough to get by. Believe me! I spend the next few miles watching for falling trees, as plenty of them were swaying in the wind.

    Actually, that works! I have done it. Got to make sure it's safe to do.
