    lost power for a couple of hrs late in the afternoon yesterday. iI blew out the driveway last night after the plow went , it was like a hurricane wind from every direction!

    Cleaned it up this morning after taking the wife to work.Day shift was cancelled today we will work tomorrow (usually have fri. off)

    Sun is melting the roads clear it was quite icy at 7:30


    About 45 cm or more of snow hard to tell with all the drifting and blowing snow.

    Even the playground in the back is having some green.....for the moment!

    [​IMG]

    So then there was some "through the toy'.......

    [​IMG]

    And then, OMG, train crash! and I ended up flat on my back:yup:...............

    That slow motion, NNNnnnnnnooooooooooooooo.... but it was to late:rofl2:

    [​IMG]

    Then after I put my spleen back and rubbed the blood from my eyes, and sat up counting 11 fingers on one hand, at least there was some one who really truly was concerned if I was OK!...........

    [​IMG]

    The train that derailed me was....... 'WTF?, throw the toy!":slap::biglaugh:

    [​IMG]

    I wish it had rained!;)

    I haven't even started my mower here in Florida. Not that the grass doesn't need cut. Living in the boonies does have benefits. Maybe I'll buy goats.
    I'm not even gonna say how warm it got but the sun was shining.
