no offense but I would hate to live in the hot all the time and esp lose the seasons which are good for renewal and hope. Love a crisp clear cold day with no wind.

Love rainy days too on occasion.

well, snowed again today and a blizzard forecasted for tomorrow. 10" + and gonna wreak havoc on the commuters.

Me, well, we got a full fridge and pantry, garage full of firewood and beer, and a satellite TV and DVR in every room. let it :censored: snow.

oh yeah, and the GF collects lingerie and high heels.

I line up a BUSY day, and hammer 3-4 jobs, and can hibernate 3-4 days a week if need be. And there's always snowplowing for a buddy.

-5 degrees here this morning, and a vicious wind chill.

I'm going to go hit a job or 2 just to prove I can, then back to the fireplace and all this beer.

:censored: cold up here, we won't be turning the truck off. :hmm3grin2orange:

Be careful about the hydraulics. I small bit of water in the fluid will ice up and clog the filter. I've seen a few hoses blow from the over pressure.

Little quick shot of starter gets the diesels going and no harm done too. Used to mess around with those block heaters. I am heading out into the tundra.

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

I've got some snow loaded spruce to do today. It is finally above +5 it was -7 when we got up.

 

[treeslayer]

I'm going to hammer some medium sized dead cherry trees (firewood for home, of course), and prune some crabapples. one decent job, maybe 3-4 hours total.

that will be enough, I'm sure.

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

All i gotta do is get the spruce on the ground for today. I've found some gloves that almost fit my hands; at $14 i hope they last more then a day

 

[treeslayer]

John, how far are you from me? you owe me a meal............
