In 2 hours, about 5 cars have gone down the highway...........
Not too many yuppies venturing out in their acura suvs, I guess they bought em' just so they can get to Starbucks in the snow.

Some of these idiots are headed to either Spirit Mountain Casino or to Chinook Winds Casino. Heaven help anyone, including the weather, who gets in the way of these imbeciles who are on their way to riches, fame and fortune. (In reality, they are probably on the way to getting their cars repossessed, house foreclosed and be our next tax payer, welfare supported food stamp recipient.)

Evening Jim. Got a bunch more done on the mill today, and started running conduit for the 3 phase. Also helped a neighbor and renter tow his Blazer to my shop. I'm trading him the space and a little help to change his blown engine. In return, he will give me two weekends of help moving "stuff" into my warehouse so I can open up another bay in the shop...

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Just back from the farm. Animals and the folks tucked in for the night........................

The warden is down with some kind of a bug. She has completely lost her voice. Sure has been peaceful and quiet! She was waiting for me when I got home from the farm a few minutes ago. She had chicken, some frozen vegetables and rice and placed in my arms before I could get the door closed. If I interpreted the LACK of conversation correctly, I think I am supposed to fix dinner and let her know when it is ready. Or, maybe that was fix dinner and take it to her in bed. I wasn't quite clear on that part of the conversation.

hiya! not really sure what to say, just that i may or may not be partially insane

i have a '93 f250 4x4, in the sig line, as soon as i get a couple things squared away, it will be my daily driver. i gotta find another job though, i left my last place of employment for a variety of reasons.

i have a strange fascination with the 1957-1960 ford trucks, especially the f500-f700's. i am looking for one here in oregon, to make into a toy, not sure exactly what i want besides a flat or dump bed thats at least 14ft long, and the 292 v8.

anyway, name's Dustin!

It was DAMN cold today.......... I normally use about 4 gallons of WVO to heat my shop for a day. I had the heater maxed out at 180,000btu today, used 8 gal of oil, and never got above 50 deg in the shop. Can I please have summer back??????????

I got the steepest section of the driveway shoveled, and got the Ranger up to the house, all that shoveling and it was so cold I never broke a sweat.

I hope to hell this is winters big show, and the rest of it will be mild.
