Morning, it's Friday.

Tom how did you make out with the ice situation? Did you find what you were looking for?

Well we are looking at some snow Sunday night into Monday morning. Right now I am hearing 2 inches and the same guy is saying 5 inches in his nest report so I will just wait and see.

My grand children have there birthdays just days apart, so I give them those Money cards. The girl loves to read so she gets Barns and Noble. The boy is into games gets a gaming card. But this year he wants a Pro-1 cameras and with our card I guess he is there. I told him when he gets it I would mount it in the Jeep and take him riding threw the wood and down the dirt trails.

Not yet, between work and school I haven't had the time. That's on the plan for this afternoon though.

Morning on this last day of February. Going to be a beautiful Saturday and I hope everyone gets to enjoy the day.

Tomorrow is the start of March and they are calling for snow in the evening. Well you know what they say "In like lion and out like a lamb".

Good morning everyone. Spent a half hour yesterday afternoon calling hardware stores looking for calcium chloride. About 20 stores were sold out and not expecting more. On a hunch I called some stores up near Concord, and found a place with 40 bags. My dad is picking up a couple bags for me this morning and I'm gonna use this as an excuse to go up and visit my parents.

Then tomorrow gonna climb up and melt some ice. There's enough dry roof to make it workable, but it's a little scary thinking what happens if I slip.

Hi guys! Was looking at pictures and, from long time carpenter / builder - you will do more damage to that roof by walking on it (shingles look 15-20 years old), than good by melting little bit of snow and some ice. And, for Gods sake, try not to do damage to yourself, if you not just to hights.

Tom you need an Amazon drone to hoist payloads of salt to your roof while you pilot from the comfort of your couch.

Thanks Gints. I'm assuming the shingles are the original ones the house was built with back in '98 so that sounds about right. My problem is this ice has already done thou$and$ of damage to the house from water damage, and we have another 6" of snow inbound Sunday evening.

Hello everyone.

Not sure if anybody remembers me. Hope you guys are enjoying the endless snow we have been getting.

Any of you guys know of a place where I could store my 83' f250 in its current non running state for a couple of months? Could just be a parking lot.

Also, if anyone is looking for some parts let me know. I'm trying to get rid of my parts truck in my signature for pretty cheap. I'd just like to see someone who could use the parts.
