It is a joke. I know weather isn't an exact science, but come on. Form a suspected 12-20" storm to maybe, maybe 6" when it is all said and done?? Good thing everyone doesn't do their job like that, the whole country would implode!!

We have about 1/2" here so far.


OK, I'm over winter, bring on spring and camping.


How about that race??

Trevor Bayne wins in his first cup race at 20.

Hey guys! Yeah we only have about 2-3" but it is blowing around so much it is hard to tell. It is picking up and snowing a little harder now.

Yeah Mike that was a great race and the ending was awesome! Great to see Trevor win! He didn't even know how to get to victory lane and drove past it! LOL

I'm all for CAMPING Mike, bring it on! I converted my brother. He just bought a TT. Its a 2011 Cherokee 30U+. The damn thing is 35' long. I tried to tell him to buy a 5vr but he bought it so quick I had no time. Well, I guess he will learn to back it up or sell it.

Is that what you guys have been doing all day is watching racing? Whoa, starting to sound like a female for a second there. I have been vegging out on the couch too.

Ahhh it's easy. I don't know what my 37' trailer was overall, but at least 40'...

I did it with the Excursion too!

We did finally get some snow around here, maybe 4-5 inches now. Hard to say for sure, it's whipping around.

That was an interesting race today. I didn't watch much though. That wreck Waltrip caused was quite the site. A lot of pissed of people...

I finally hooked my heater up today in the garage too. Now I can't get in and out of it again...

That's kinda what I figured would be the case. Those things do shred belts sometimes...

You can try, it can be hard to get them to warranty belts. It all depends on the place he got it from.

I'll settle for OT. It wasn't bad. Nice enough day and the building was pretty much empty and I got to play with a DVR that I had never worked on before.



Oh the huge manatees!! The snow!!1!

First coat of mud is drying on the entry. Can't do anything with it until tomorrow now.

Yeah, kinda nice how Edwards eeked his way up to a 2nd place finish.
That is pretty funny, he had no idea what to do after winning.

That's quite the camper, he will learn pretty quick how to maneuver it around.

Nope, actually watched very little of the race. Busy taping and mudding in the entry.
Watch it there, you may get your man card suspended with statements like that.
