I'm surprised, we don't have any wind here at the moment. The wifey isn't happy, she's in Colorado this weekend for AirForce duty, supposed to fly back to Omaha tomorrow morning. She took the HHR with the crappy hi-performance tires to Omaha, so it won't be an easy drive home for her tomorrow. That's if her flight even gets in, it's snowing pretty good in Denver too.

I guess I can take the 79 to Omaha and tow her home, lol. ;)

just watching the news about the shooting in tucson,that sucks A shooting occurred near Tucson, Arizona, on January 8, 2011; twenty people were shot,[2][4] six of them fatally, during United States Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' meeting with constituents held in a Safeway supermarket parking lot in Casas Adobes.[5][6] The dead include the chief judge for the U.S. District Court for Arizona, John Roll; a nine-year-old girl; and a congressional aide.[5][1][6] Representative Giffords, a Democrat representing Arizona's 8th congressional district who was said to be the target of the attack,[5] was shot in the head at close range and is in critical condition.[6][7][5] A 22-year-old local man, Jared Lee Loughner, was arrested at the scene,[3] and has been charged with 5 Federal counts, including attempted murder of a member of Congress.[8] The motive for the shooting is currently unclear, as the suspect is not talking and has invoked his rights against self-incrimination.[6] Giffords is the first national U.S. politician to be shot since the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan in March 1981.[

Just got the text message saying school is delayed till 10am... wonder if I should tell the kids? }>

ya she might not get a flight out ,snow across most of the US

they will sleep w/smiles if you do,lol,oh i read that wrong,couple hours, maybe not

Yeah, but they'll think they need to stay up late too. :)

That shooting in AZ is a sad story Randy... feel bad for all those involved. Unfortunately, the gun control folks will be on the war path over this one.

then you better hold off telling until tomarrow,amazing how their minds work,hehe, glad i've been thru that and its over

you probably are right there,that 9 year old was sad news

What kind of nut shoots a 9 year old? It's too bad the shooter lived through it, lots of legal battles ahead, and the tax payers will end up taking care of him for decades to come.

this snow kinda screwed up my sale on the 67,now gotta wait til next week, oh well,them things happen

We got about an inch here last night, supposed to get up to 8 inches by tuesday, but right now its not really doing anything. I also am anxiously awaiting a call for a delay or closure. I will get to spend the day in the plow truck with my old man. I love getting to ride in the trucks with him, whether we are hauling grain or plowing snow, it always gives us good father-son time. My parents are divorced, so the last ~6 years of my life have been really shaky with my parental relationships. Things only got worse when my step-dad shot himself this November.. So I like it when I get to spend GOOD time with my parents.

Hear ya there Brandon,maybe i should take off that saying in my sig or catch slack

Please put that Jefferson quote back!

i'll find a better one

The one I just added to my sig. hangs above the door of our wrestling coach's classroom.

how's this one?

Excellent my friend!!! I have never read that one before, it brought some joy to my night!

well, i guess i should head home before the winds pick up,worst case is i'd have to stay here and sleep on a recliner next to the wood burner,lol

Great quotes in the sig lines guys!

thanks Rob, well its time to brave the cold and make that 10 mile trip home, you all have a great night and chat tomarrow

Later Randy, Thanks Rob!

I am sitting in our lay-z-boy in my pj's using the box on my laptop's charger as a foot-warmer. Life is good. :-X22

HAPPY monday morning to you all!
We got well over 5 inches of snow, took me an hr to get thawed out and to the base...to find out they closed it. So I am back at the house going back to bed haha.
Have a good day everyone! :):):)

Good morning and hope Monday is good for you Nebraska.

Morning 'Braska...welcome to the work week!!!

Good Morning Nebraska! :)

Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend! :D

My weekend continues! Snowday!

Good morning all. About 6 inches of the white crap on the ground here, and it continues. I just love getting up at 4:30 to snowblow. I am soooooooooooooooo ready for summer!

Good morning everyone.

Send some of that snow up here.

Morning Mike. You come down, you can take all of it!!

Morning Pat, congrats on the SNOW!

Morning Steve. Congrats my butt. I'm with Carl from NY, we're voting to move the calendar straight to April!

Good luck with that...lol

How was your weekend?

Not too bad, nothing exciting. How about you?

Had a great weekend, best ever, met with friends and had a great time!

For those of you who don't get my email, I have to post this, this is a perfect definition...

Sometimes you're encouraged about our country's future when you see something like this.


Specifically, there is an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.

This year's term was:
"Political Correctness."

The winner wrote:

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

(This guy has nailed it, don't you think?)

Cheers!!!!!

Morning guys! Happy Monday!

Great quote Pat, I'll be saving that one for sure!

A good six inches of snow around here too. Working from home at the moment, school is cancelled so I gotta get the kids on the right track before I head out. Haven't gotten any emails back from coworkers, so I don't know if anyone got to the office yet or not.

Hey Pat, since you are already out and about, can you run by the Omaha airport around noon today and pick my wife up??? I think the HHR will fit in the back of Black, so you can just haul them up here for me... I'll buy you a cheeseburger, and maybe top of your tank with diesel for your troubles.

Or, you can just keep both her and the chevy and I'll pick them up next spring... maybe... }>

:-X24

We got around 7 inches here last night, so I have the day off too. I can pick your wife up for you }> And I just got the 95 with the fabled 300 "torque monster", so lets see if its got what it takes to drag a chev :-missingt
