Guess the snow has started there, eh Smokey?


Been using the wood stove all week here.

No snow since last Monday here.
Been actually pretty nice over all. Built a small fire last week but only had it 3 days then it warmed up outside. Turn on a small space heater after sundown will I go to bed and it heats the house up nice.
In a week or two will have to have a fire burning till spring.

Thinking another week here will be the same.
Did you ever get the ranger finished?

[smokey]

Not yet been so busy with work I hardly have had time to do anything fun.
I did swap the new tires and spoke wheels on to it. I can have it finished in a day or two if I really work at it.

[dustybumpers]

Good sunday morning to you.

[smokey]

Good morning Charlie. Getting ready for church here.

[dustybumpers]

Yeah, still not walking from the surgery, so church will be this mornings Tv again.

Pelting the snow down here now. Huge snow flakes 1/2 dollar sized. We may just get the foot of snow out of this storm.
They called off schools today and tomorrow even the colleges and they seldom ever close down.
