Sometimes it can really be a pain in the ass but you have to admit it sure is beautiful.


Sometimes we just need to stop and regroup.


Things can be right in front of you but if you don't pay attention you will never see them.


Now excuse me while I get the friggen snow blower out and try to get this crap off my driveway...lol

Adrian and Rtaz.  I share your thoughts  cooldude

First snow here too, I inch or so, melting already.  One thing that I don't have to do anymore is shovel snow.  The apartment owners will be taking care of that.  That leaves me only to b**** about why they aren't getting around to it.

We had a little dab here Monday night the 28th. crazy2 It was gone the next morning. 2funny Having lived in snow country before and spent a goodly portion of my life driving over the road i will say this-in my mind at least winter still SUCKS. Wink I know i know-shows up every year but dat do not mean i GOTS ta like it. uglystupid2 In fact i should be able to get a ride in tommorrow iffin the weather guessers have it close to right. cooldude But if i duz get snowed in got a freezer full of food and enough coffee to see me through it. Cool You way up north folks enjoy the start of what most likely will be another long un. 2funny RIDE SAFE.

 Been thinking about getting a dirt bike and setting it up with a ski set up.

Met some folks who ride the logging roads out of Greenwater over to a resort called whistling Jacks near Naches a few times each winter. sounds like fun! cooldude

73 degrees here right now.
My Dad saved us from Ol' man Winter in 1963. He'd kick the snow shovel from one side of the yard to the other and tell us to never live where ya need one of those things.
I guess So.Cal was as far as he could get us away from it.
