Oh no, I really didn't want to see this now, you know? ^&grin
It's just about 3 weeks ago, when I was right there, on the wonderful island of Maui, temps in the 80's, shorts and T-shirt, great scenery, great fun.
Now, back in KY, cold, icy, snowy, ........., it sucks :wink2:
Oh well, our friends in the North East and along the East Coast have much more to deal with, so I don't want to complain too much :wink2:
But I sure will be back on that island. LOVED IT !!!
Cheers, and y'all stay warm.

That's what she said.
You don't fool me. This isn't Hawaii. Where's Steve or Danno? Where's Magnum's red Ferrari? And I don't see a pineapple or a spam sandwich anywhere. ^&grin -- Al

The snow seems to have stopped here. Time for a Ray Bradbury story. When I was going to USC back in the 80s he was making the rounds signing books. So I handed him my copy of Fahrenheit 451 and while he was signing it I said you know I recently put a pizza box in the oven at Fahrenheit 450 thinking it would not catch fire and nearly burned the dorm down. At which point he looked up and gave me the double eagle.
LOL. Funniest thing I've read today. What a card. I hope you still have that autographed copy, as it is worth some money.:wink2: -- Al

Agreed; besides, who am I going to drink with at Eddie's Annandale show? Come on Tom, it's only two months of possible storms, you can do it.
Besides, a ten gallon hat is not a good look for you.
Or anyone else for that matter.

Great; first Tom's leaving, now you?
That's it, I'm moving too, time to start boning up on my "Ya'lls, Ma'm, My Daddy, Can I have more grits with that please?" and other such southern yammering....................

See, this is why I bought a townhouse; condo living isn't all bad, I don't lift finger here raking, mowing or shoveling.
When the snowplow contractor is in the complex, we get a call to move our vehicles out to the street; I go out onto my shoveled walkway that some flunkie who works for the contractor has shoveled, start my jeep, floor it 100 MPH out of my spot onto the street and back into the condo I go.
A few hours later, I go back out and move it.
Done and done.
No more shovels, snowblowers or any other yardwork for this toy soldier dealer.................

With my back surgery, I really can't do any major shoveling anymore, so I went out and bought a snow blower. Assuming it works, I am going to do my septuagenarian neighbors' walk and driveway as well, as I am afraid he might hurt himself or have a heart attack or something.

Let's see...last Saturday the high was zero with a windchill of -20...so I went skiing for the day.
On Monday it was -7 with a -30 windchill...I went for a 5 mile run.
Tomorrow we're supposed to get up to 30...warmest we've seen in weeks. Nothing like a little winter!
Though I'll pass on the 30 inches in one storm mess...you can keep that!
Next year my son is headed up to the Upper Peninsula...with an average of 250 inches of snow a winter. Apparently it's too wimpy down here for him...

Ok, back in from my midnight ride. First pass on the driveway, first pass on the deck, took one look at the garage roof and decided after the bottle of wine, that can wait til morning. And of course, 5 minutes after coming inside, it looks like I never lifted a finger. GD snow, I hate it.
George, I can send you a twang book so you get your "y'alls yall in the right context, etc."
Off to bed, up in 6 or 7 hrs and a clearing we will go.
