The first step to recovery is admitting you have a drinking problem. Remember, lift and tip. That's the way. 'Cause tipping and lifting gets you a chance to clean the kitchen counter, sorta.

IT'S SNOWING!!! Must run to the store and buy bread, milk and toilet paper immediately! That, as well as drive directly into a ditch or telephone pole is what you do here as soon as any white flakes appear in the air.
We very seldom see snow except occasionally in late Jan early Feb, so this is out of the ordinary. At 9:00 there was a powder sugar donut dusting on the cars and grass and a light flurry in the air. A white xmas? THAT would be different!

OOPS false alarm it's turned to rain and washed everything away. Now what am I going to do with all this bread and milk? I can always use the year's supply of toilet paper tho. At least I picked up some beer while I was at the store...
Dog is still freaked tho.

Yup, we'll go to our teenage reporter on a live remote to monitor the continuing lack of news for this developing story. With so little known, a massive cover-up is suspected. I blame North Korea, or maybe the radical moderates, or could be the Most Interesting Man in the World - he seems to only hang out with foreign women. Humm. Inquiring minds want to know.

Actually its a long story but I looked at these back in July and went home empty. The green one is decent rusty door bottoms, white one is really ruff but has a radio, spot light, and windshield washers

I am, and I'm doing very well. I had to go TODAY as the roads were dry, and these were up north in Michigan. If I didnt go today (SNOW), it may have been April before I could go get them. I made it all day with no pain medicne too!


I really didnt do anything except ride in the truck, and buy lunch for my driver. JR. (Mr4speedford from this site) was GREAT, he did it all, drive, load, tie down, and drive home.
