    Usually during to keep up with it....It's because of the idiot employees that all of a sudden forget how to walk in snow. Then they fall and I get an incident report. I'm not sure how some of them get through life in general.

    Then some of them turn into a workman's comp claims....we have a payment center at the same location and never have problems with the customers, it's ALWAYS the employees.

    4-5 inches of dry/light snow and a light wind constantly changing direction = snowman behind the snowblower :shiver:

    Thankfully the sun came out in full force after the squalls that came through so it wasnt as bad as a cold dreary day :). I kind of like days like this and working outside.

    Here's my plan, going in tomorrow and get out before the heavy Chit hits . I have a landscape plan to draw up for a project around one of the tee boxes .
    This is work that I do at home and I get paid :thumbs: and I always try do them on crappy days when I don't want to be outside . Going to clear it with the Boss tomorrow ,either way I'm pretty sure my azz isn't leaving this house on Tuesday unless this chit is over .

    Sounds like a great plan! Projects get done better when you can have a couple of cold ones and "gameplan" the project from home. :drunk:
