Didn't care at all! It was time for me to take a day off! Looks like we'll have a couple more sunny days this week anyway......

Carl is a class act, I know he won't show it openly, but, that had to hurt...........He is too good a driver to continue to be denied by BS problems, he will bounce back next season.

It was so warm here, we opened all the windows and doors like it was July, man, I wish the river wasn't closed to fishing now.

I don't mind it as bad now since I retired. I hated pushing snow for the state. Money was great, but sleeping in my dump truck for days at a time sucked

Literally having to sleep in the truck?

Snow does do one thing good around here, it keeps the yuppies and clueless drivers stuck in eugene, and makes it a SILENT world up here.
