What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Just looked at the forecast. Not fair. What a tease!

 

Sorry bud

 

I'll be spending the rest of the week up in NE (MA, CT, NH). I'm sure it will be really nice up there.

 

what doing??

 

Work. Got a few places to visit.

 

Our forecast isn't looking to good. Snow. We got more like 4" last night. Suppose to get another 1" today/tonight, and then 4-8" or so on Wednesday/night. I hope we get less than that. 8" for Zap so he can snowmobile a little longer, and 2" or less for us down here!

 

Bring your shovel.

 

If the weather holds (long range forecast) we'll have another two weeks of running the trails.

Tomorrow night I might try for the first time, bringing in some wood with the sled and the moose cargo tub.

 

I carry one in my wallet.

 

I quit carrying one in my wallet when I was around 25!!

 

The forecast keeps going down hill for our area. Should help your sledding out for a while! This is from the current weather channel alert.

Pretty nice up this way. Got the wood grill up and running, hand split an assortment of wood earlier. Enjoying the weather.

 

Unfortunately had to work today. It sure is nice to see it still light at 7:00! Can't wait till the next days off! Unfortunately I will be fighting through more snow! Dammit! Oh well. I will make the best of the situation and do some trimming I need to do around the trail with the Pole Saw on the Stihl Kombisystem. Should be fun and a good workout.

I will give you some of ours if you want it! I'll take 2-4 and you can then have 14-24. Deal?

 

Man. If you got 18 or 20 inches that would be some work for you. Well, the F-250 and Rhino anyway. You wouldn't give the Mrs. the shovel would you? ZAP!

 

Waiting for the storm, we had a couple inches of wet heavy white overnight looking for 9" to 16" Wednesday/Thursday and maybe listening to my music collection on the TV in the living room. Got a functioning transcoder routine running on the DLNA server. Next up my DVD collection.

 

Good morning. weather is gonna' be nice today at 60 degrees with 1/2 to 3/4 inches of rain tonight.
Wed. is gonna' bring us 2-4 inches of sleet/snow with 8 degrees forecast wed. night.
I got called into the workhouse this afternoon. I drank the kool aid and got on the company bus,,messing up the nicest day we've had in months..I told the bosswoman when she called that my wife sez I'd be glad to come in!! LOL..
You folks have a good day. Peace.

 

Got news that the Drolet make be ready for pickup Friday night. I've got a possie rounded up for the task, hoping its a go.

 

Shovel, what's that! I think they have us lumped in with Star Lake for our forecast. We've had it before where we received 3 inches of snow but 10 miles south of us they received a foot or more, I do think this forecast will be pretty much dead on.
