    The Bingham towers. They looked familiar but I guess they all look he same really. If you sit under them and look up it’s impressive how much the blades bend.

    Thought I'd post a pic of what 9 cord of hardwood CSS looks like in mid-March.

    Eeeeks! We have a lot of bare ground here, but drifts too. They missed bird hunting this spring break, 5th wheel is drifted in. The drifts have been a lot worse these last two winters (not including the mud and sand storms) but we don't know why, structures that act as snow breaks such as our fence and neighbors vehicles behind that fence have not changed.

    I was just informed today all the effort I made opening the camper up is for naught…

    the last storm filling up what I cleaned out. Oh well.

    Hey bogieb
    Looking at the weather forecast this PM shows your area getting a foot of snow. I hope you take it easy digging out. They are saying it will be Wednesday when the storms moves out of here.

    We just had about 10 minutes of white-out here about an hour ago...only about 1/2" on the ground, but that's a lot in 10 minutes!

    Anyone else wondering just how much the solar energy field will be affected by the SVB failure?

    Anyone else wonder if this will affect other financial institutions?

    Anyone else wonder why after announcing a bailout that no questions were taken?

    Anyone else believe that all banks are safe?

    PFFT! Not much to wonder about really! What I wonder is if certain people even know what day of the week it is...

    Just keep in mind to what happened to the banking system in Greece a couple of years ago.

    Anyone else wonder why a house that was worth 120,000 four years ago gets financed at 225,000 now? They play us!

    And I was just talking to a guy today that said they are back to loaning mortgage money with nothing down again...all the bankers "forgot" about 2008 already eh? Sure hope for their sake, and their SO's, their peters are longer than their memories!

    It’s all just a game. From 3/12/20 to today has been the biggest game ever and we aren’t on the winning side that’s for sure.

    You would not believe how wide it is when winter first begins. My 1/2 ton and plow can only do so much.

    The county will come down the driveway and push them back upon request; they're good about that.

    Since there's only a bit over a month left, I'll make due............and keep looking for tractors!

    Not to mention.....

    Anyone else wonder why the SVB bank execs sold their assets/holdings/shares in time to avoid the collapse?


    Nothing to see here....just keep moving sheep. Don't ask any questions cuz I'm going to amble off stage looking for the door knob without answering the questions that need to be answered.

    that's high. Is it only one way traffic on this side of the mound of snow?

    Yop. This is all westbound traffic.

    my plan is to get a load to Oregon/Washington and then head east. Wyoming is forecasting storms again resulting in shutting 80 down and flooding to the south is preventing travel towards LA/Bakersfield and out.
