I'm writing YOU off as a fizzle! First you went out in left field with my computer problem a day after it left here and repair has begun, now you're so far out with the blizzard you're nowhere near the ballpark. I don't know what you're smoking and really don't WANT to know. (;->)
Yeah , they weren't even close. We were supposed to get 8"-12" overnight. We got maybe an inch.Quote:

Too bad this isn't my computer with the rail pictures in it or I'd post one of Amwreck with extra power and a BNSF Dash 9 helping, the whole shebang stuck in snow out in the middle of nowhere. All I can say is leave it to the federal railroad to be as fukked up as the federal government.
Got a big, big 0.1" (2.5mm) of rain here yesterday. Construction on the ark has begun.
C'mon, you Noah better than that.Quote:

I suggested to you that if your computer is an old machine you might consider chucking it and replacing it with something new.Quote:

Wow, you got less snow overnight than we did.Quote:

It's so dry here, a gila monster rang my doorbell and asked for a glass of ice water.
You must have a low doorbell button, or very tall lizards down there.Quote:

One of my all time favorite songs. JT is just timeless. I had the pleasure of singing that song in a band I was in.Quote:

You at the Bosselman Truck Stop? If you have to get stuck, that's not a bad place have it happen.Quote:

I try not to give that truckstop any business anymore anyway. They got bought out by pilot. Prices on everything including the restaurant went up 30% just because. So i avoid those bosselmans at all cost for my personal spending. My company has me fueling there occasionally but thats all i do. They get no $$$ outta my pocket lol
Oh, man, that sucks—last of the really nice independent truck stops. I was there shortly after it opened and it was blown away by how much better it was than the usual Pilot or T/A.Quote:

Soo many of the good stops are gone anymore. Makes me kinda pissed.
Had 14 inches of snow here yesterday. It is -11f here at 5am, yes Minus 11f.
ugh the furnace keeps kicking on. I have the thermometer set for 67f inside.
Woke up at 3:30am I was chilly it was 66f and the furnace had just kicked on.
73 K2HAT Lee.
We dodged a 1-ft bullet last Sunday and Monday, but Ma Nature appears to be reloading the weather gun just in time for the weekend. :(
At least you have winter and snow and stuff.
Our "winter"here till now is another bummer like last year, when we had no frost no snow no hail whatever.
At least we hhad a few nights below 0C now and some flurry's of snow or hail that lasted on the street for all of a few hours...
Yuck let summer get here soon...
