    If it ain't raining, it is snowing. Question is, do you guys prefer rain or snow?

    the snow looks better.....



    ....from here anyway. :)

    Steve, just to let you know, there is a special T.N.G.A. account (Thursday Night Garage Association #6840) at the NAPA store in Snohomish that sounds like it would save you alot of money for your projects, For example that 3/4" hydrallic hose would have cost ya $6.74 a foot. Lots of paint and body supplys there too.

    I took these photos in New Orleans 2 weeks ago. Not a common occurrence, or so I was led to believe by the hotel staff. It's on Veterans Boulevard.

  14. 44 degrees and rather comfy right now. what a nice change from 18 degrees and too much snow.
     
  15. Welp, The snow turned to rain today...but not before another 6" at my house. I think it's the first time it has been above freezing in like 3 weeks. What a mess. I chained up the 51 and ran some errans. I was gettin some pretty funny looks. All the snow slid off my shop roof and blew in the back of my garden shed. The last picture is my hound Lucy. You can see how big my hand-shoveled wall is getting, it's about 6' right now. Everything that you see shovled I did by hand. My back is KILLING me :D

    Chris, I'm right there with you. My piles of snow are taller than me and I'm 6'1". I've cleared my 120' driveway three times and it needs it again. My back needs a rest as it looks like there is more snow coming. We'll see if I have to go back to work on the 5th or not.

    Lost my '63 Impala today! Was shoveling off the roof of the house and watched as my metal/canvas canopy over it caved in (it was next to get shoveled) I have had this car for 15 years in various stages of togetherness and apartness, (is all torn apart at this time for a FULL restoration ) roof is smashed about 2 feet into the drivers area, and front/ rear glass shattered I have never had such an empty feeling before in my stomache as I did when I saw it happen. WOW................

    FINALLY!! Im seeing the street. Ive been shoveling snow off my portable tent garages daily to keep them from collapsing. Put extra shores on My carport and to top it off We were without power for 3 whole Fuckin days.All My firewood is in a tent about 200 feet from the house. I use My riding mower to pull a small trailer that I fill with firewood up to the house with. Snow got so deep Ive been having to hand carry the wood to the house.* 200 feet IS A LONG WAY carrying wood in over a foot of snow! Oh thanks for the welcome Bud. I think this is snow beach. FUCK SNOW!!!!! -feder

    chopperimpala,that's a tough deal,man.It's amazing how much weight and damage the wet snow can cause. I don't think snow damage is covered by homeowner's ins. either. Hope it works out for you.

    Yup it's all starting to melt. Here's a pic of my 60 today. Right in front of it is my newly aquired 34 ford frame I just picked up about 3 weeks ago.

    Hey Bud, It's a good thing you're in the best shape of your life. Happy Holidays to you all. Doug
     
  26. I don't know if you sent it over here but it is 37 degrees and raining right now here. Bet it is fun in the morning after the temp drops tonight. We only had about a foot here this morning before it warmed up.

    Doug
     
  27. Now I get to play dodge the road POT HOLES in Tacoma, since they most likely won't fix them till someone complains or pay out enought damage claims for wheels.
