    image.jpg My fenders hang and wait. I sanded the first coat of bondo inside, but it makes such a mess (dust) I have set them aside for now. I need it to be 25-30 degrees (outside) to sand, and 50 degrees to paint. We have dodged the bulk of the snow this winter, but it's been really cold here too long. -5 tonight, 8 is the high tomorrow.

    The cold has been hell on the wood pile this year. But not dealing with the snow like last year priceless.

  9. We usally don't get a lot of snow here a couple of inches a couple times in the winter . The park 30 minutes from me usally gets clobbered{the Great Smoky Mountians.}They get so much rain up there in the summer they consider it a rain forest.Woke up to this this morning.Bruce. 001.JPG
     
  10. Blowby we don't have much but we are on this mountain top all by ourselves. Great for when I am painting cars.The farmer that owns the other side of the cliff here was riding by on is tractor last summer and thought some one was cooking up meth , till he saw the paint coming out my exhaust fan. We both had a good laugh on that one. Bruce.

    That Is Funny!!
     
  15. Just got off the phone with a friend living in northern Minnesota, near the Canadian border.
    He said that since early this morning the snow has been nearly waist high and is still falling.
    The temperature is dropping way below zero and the north wind is increasing to
    near gale force.
    His wife has done nothing but look through the kitchen window and just stare.
    He says that if it gets much worse he may have to let her in.

    We used to have snow here. thanks AL!
     
  22. LOL, I wish I had a sled! then maybe I could put my two spare banjo rears in the shed with the now partially collapsed roof ;) (note the 3-4' drift on it). That lump behind it is the '17 Dodge.

    I used my dog to cut the path to the shed BTW.
