    Don't forget about the Bluetooth earbuds...that way you can take orders the whole time too! (Which a superior being just memorizes, of course!)

    LOL!!!

    I normally line the bed with a tarp before a snowfall and just pull it out to remove the snow so the bed is mostly dry. I forgot over the weekend with 3-4" of snow here and didn't want splits to get wet/dirty etc so I used the same tarp. The bed is full of decaying wood schmutz. With it being in the 40's today it was rather sloppy in there.
