I need sunshine

Man this rain needs to stop, the more it rains, the more I spend. I need to get back on the golf course quickly, I sit here and by stuff. Today I ordered new drop spindles from Fatman's, then a torneau cover from Craftec. Oh well, I was going to get these sooner or later,might as well get it out of the way . L8R ZFLASH

The preceding is not a cry for help - really, it is bragging. Seriously.

LOL, you can have your 75 and sunny! If the weather were like that I would be working. I'll take my 30 and knee deep snow. All I have to do now is put wood in the firebox twice a day and feed the livestock once a day.

Hey Zflash,
You guys keep hogging the rain - How much did you get out of this last storm? Everything missed us to the East (toward you). Our lakes are only at 40% - down 30 feet from a normal winter.

Drop spindles - How low are you going?

Hang in there - We did finally see the sun today - you better play golf tomorrow - the weekend doesn't look too good.

About 8-10 inches, never stopped at the house,lite drizzle at work. 2 inch Chrysler drop spindles from Fatmans,raising it all the way up too stock before I install these. I thought I would spend this $$ quickly before I went out and did something more STUPID like buying this LS2 I've been looking at.Since the one I have has less than 2000 miles on it. Wish I could play, I'm taking Sunday off too either be really happy or really sad for the Texans. Hope your doing well Ben, L8R ZFLASH

qman. I heard to much sleeping in double sleeping bags and on back porches may cause loss of your truck. To much fun and you may lose you chair at the table and your truck. chuck

5 deg here and a blizzard. Forecasting 8 - 10 inches of snow and 40 mph winds. It's supposed to let up tomorrow aft. Golfing is just a dream 5 months away. My truck is covered outside in a snow bank so I guess I'll clean up some small parts and maybe paint em.
