It's not quite 9:30 and I'm ready to go home. Off and on all morning my stomach has felt uneasy.

Nope. It's just arriving this weekend. At least you're getting more snow than ice. We're getting ice first.

5+ is what they are saying for the Twin Cities.
Hopefully all goes well for you!

Thought tommorow would be a day to relax, but the wood pile is getting small and should build it up before it snows again and need to go get hay for horses too. It sucks living in country some times.
Good morning Lee! All part of a good days work!

Nope. No Denali in my future. Too many expensive bells and whistles to fix. The AWD made me nervous from the beginning. The air ride, while nice when working, sounds like it's a very common problem and expensive.

I'm a terrible student most days, compared to some. I am happy to say that I'm officially done with Chemistry. I took it twice in Ely and then I still had to take it last semester, and finally passed. Me and Chem just don't get along...

Just living the dream here up here in the never-ending windstorm.
Sounds like my schedule in college. I was working full time as well as taking a full class load. I don't think I could do that again.

I'm taking one class right now and it's kicking my butt. Managerial Economics for Managers. The first question from the professor was asking "So ... who's taken calculus?" ...

Our entire grade is based on two tests. The first test was last week. 5 questions worth 200 points total. The final test (non-cumulative) is worth 300 points.

Ouch... Those tests don't even sound fun. That first question about Calc, would have got me shaking a bit...

There is no shortage of help doing that around here.

Most likely a Yukon XL/Suburban around 03/04/05 under $15K. All cash deal. No loans. I enjoy not having a car payment.

Still haven't warmed up to the Excursion.

Aren't a Excursion and a Suburban pretty much the same vehicle?
