Lots of snow in the forecast..... more news at 11..........
And we're in a pretty fair drought right now......... :disgust:
They say it is a "light snowfall" but it is the most snow I have seen come down at one time since we moved up here 7 years ago....
Yep, lots and LOTS of snow, but not one flake (of snow) fell here. It all came down no closer than about 50 miles west of us. The news is full of closures and delays and cancellations, but every one of 'em is in ND.
'S ok though. We still got plenty on the ground already. I'd like to tear the carb on that snowblower down, but my right hand is about useless anymore for the small and delicate components. Maybe Santa Sancho will come and do some of his mechanickin' magic...
Speaking of which, being as you guys "Up North" do Thanksgiving on the wrong day, I've always wondered if you have Christmas where you are...And if so, when?
thanksgiving = 2nd Monday in October
Christmas = December 25
That gives plenty of time to get over the turkey indigestion before digging in to the second bird........ :icon_razz:
Dang it Nony, I live a hundred miles from the doggone Canuckian border...I knew that...
Was just...Razzing you...And those eclectic cultures you guys have up there...Ya know...Eh...
Great beer though. I'll give you that... :devil:
Well, I wasn't sure with a third of your brain gone, and all the meds and whatnot..........ya just never know....... :eusa_angel: :devil:
Hey man, there was no 1/3rd of brain gone, why else would there be a tumor there in the first place...Uh...No...nevermind
You make all the fun of my meds you want, but please leave my whatnot out of this.
On an unrelated yet spooky note, I went in to refill a prescription today, only to face a number of strangers who told me that my pharmacist died yesterday.
It took them three hours to fill two bottles with dope.
I dunno, But seems like a good thing to outlive your pharmacist. :hrm:
:icon_smile:
It was wierd. I knew the guy as well as you might know someone you saw on at least a monthly basis and were on a first name basis.
He didn't show up for work, someone went to check on him and found him dead at home. That's all I know...
...Except that he was 6 years younger than me. Which one can't help but shudder at initially.
Of course, being a pharmacist, the FIRST thing I would have looked at was his med chest... :eusa_think:

I'm sorry you have to miss out, Roger. And continue killing ants and other similar pests...
Yeah, no bugs for miles and miles around here!!
QuoteUh, you guys have Thursday in CanaDA, right?
Generally .....yes...except for weeks with a lunar eclipse on the eve of the winter solstice...then we skip Thursdays and have two Fridays instead!! :eusa_think:
Yeah, plus in the summer I can gloat when it only gets to 105 or so here....er wait a minute. :sadness:

:icon_smile:

:icon_smile:
ROFLMAO
The infamous Koi Pond,,, God how I remember that.
By the way, just how are those High Priced Carp doing???
Heh, well we had a die off for some reason, maybe because it turned into the black lagoon last spring and early summer or that someone gave us a few fish of theirs and they had some disease, so we re did it with a skimmer and all so the water is clear, now its occupied with salamanders and gold fish.
Ponds, the project that never ends. :icon_smile:
Heh, you give those goldfish a couple years (if the goats aren't peeing in that pond), they'll gain a pound...I lived in Arkansas in the early 80s and our backyard had a large abandoned rock quarry in it--Abandoned because they struck groundwater and it filled. Well, some resident before our time stocked the new lake with largemouth bass and, to feed the bass, goldfish. The goldfish that had enough brains to avoid the bass grew into--you guessed it, 1-2 lb. goldcarp...
Size matters...To a goldfish... :P
Stetto, if this storm heads your way, you'd better warm up that snowblower...... I have never seen so much snow.......!
Aw, what's all the commotion? We already have a winter's worth of snow...
The snowblower definitely needs a tuneup, will only run on full choke and I haven't had a chance to take it in--I'd rather tear it down myself and kit that damm carb, but I got no warm shop.
I do have an old mid '60s Toro 12 horse yard tractor (with more torque than the Cub Cadet 20) that came with a snowblower attachment, but the thing weighs a ton and my shoulders just won't let me lift that stuff... :icon_cry:
well you're lucky to have any sort of snow blower ! Even if I had one, there is no place to blow snow to..................there are mountainous piles of snow everywhere... Even my shovel is getting too short to reach the top of the pile of snow that used to be on my driveway....... :icon_razz:
But all that will change in a week......
heh maybe you need to buy a couple of Jetcats and blow that snow the proper way :icon_lol:
I saw a snow shovel once....
BTW - you fellers up north can close that back door any time you'd like. Supposed to get into the teens here later this week and that just ain't right!
Heh, saw video of snow falling in Shreveport LA...
Welcome, you are now tundra dwellers!
Far as storming goes, the idjit on the radio keeps telling me it's snowing where I am, and should have 5" of it by tonight, and I have yet to see a snowflake fall...
Yeah, it appears to be snowing all around us. It's possible here, we'll see what happens.
Stetto, email me your phone number if you have a minute. I lost it when the phone was replaced....
1-800-GO SETTO GO
We are to get 3-6" of the white stuff starting around 4:00 this afternoon. This, of course will be followed by the ever-present rain at midnight. What a surprise' :eusa_wall: :eusa_wall:
.... I don't miss the rain, but you don't have to shovel it in minus 100 ....
