    It's wood, cedar, prefab kit. Must have been an early microburst to lift up and drop it upside down 20' away. Crazy but most the wood is intact so we can use it if we need to :) It's an old home that's stood the weather for decades so I don't worry, only the new stuff we added like the double slider door and gazebo that get damaged lol.

    Must be way colder where you are. No ice here as yet. We have had a few ice storms but no water is frozen over. I don't think the ground is frozen yet either. We will have two really cold months. Jan and Feb, Then March is a maybe, maybe not. Just got the first snow that has stuck on the ground. If we get a rain storm, the snow will be gone again. My son sell rebuilt snow sleds. Not a good year as yet. Can head to the hills. they have snow there. Ocean not but 20 miles from here so it has a lot of influence on the weather.

    We had a strong wind came up around 2:30 am. It blew for a while then eased off. Maybe there was a snow squall. They say it is gusting at 28 mph now. Temp is not bad at 25 but not expected to rise today. With the wind it will be cold.

    Jan and Feb, my months to hibernate inside. I hate cold winds, ice and short days. Come March, there is hope. This china virus has a way of putting a lid on things.

    What’d you get for weather down that way so far today? We got an inch of snow and a lot of freezing rain so far. Not liking this. Was supposed to go to Greenville and Jackman today, postponed until Monday now. Not dealing with the ice on the roads, and those roads aren’t too good to begin with.

    It got down to 22 but now up to 24. Might not get higher but tomorrow mid 30's then in 40's for a couple days.

    If I could get a decent night's sleep, I'd cut some wood but just too sleepy now to run a saw. Hopefully I'll break out of this thing and sleep soon.

    Hope so bud. Sleep deprivation isn't fun or safe.

    Hate that...I'm 20 years past liking loud just for the sake of loud (aged out early I guess) I can still appreciate a throaty exhaust note though...but just belligerent loud...no.
    The ones that really pizz me off currently are the little rice grinder cars that go past the house at 100MPH with those fart can mufflers on 'em...go home punks! And stay off my grass! :rofl: :lol:

    My laptop wants to upgrade to Windows 11. Anyone have any opinions on Windows 11? Censored of course. I fought Windows 10 and still don't like it but I got used to it. campinspecter is still using Windows 7 as he likes it.

    Bag Balm smells like spearmint and eucalyptus, right? Guess my smell is 100% gone.

    We just got some crusty snow under a glaze of ice. Now icing. Don't dare go down the ramp. Letting the dog out on very long lead. He slid on the ramp. My son will sand it once the storm has passed. Hate having the weather hold up prisoners. Best to be safe, not sorry. Had the cars change over to winter tires yesterday. Had alignments done at the same time.
