March 2015 BS Thread

Wow, March already. I had a ton of stuff I wanted to get done during the winter months, but it was just too frozen. Like last year all over again.

And my truck cab is still at the paint shop. No ETC. (Estimated Time of Completion)

Hey guys! We got around 6 inches of snow here last night. Bracken County got about a foot. They now have a level 3 emergency which means only emergency vehicles are allowed on the road. My brother that lives near Georgetown (Scott County) said he got close to 2 feet!

Wow, 2 feet!

We got around a foot here. I just got back from the store and only saw 2 other cars. They plowed the roads around 6am, and it has snowed 6 inches since.

2 feet. Don't think a plow on a truck will move that very well They'll likely need something bigger. Thing is, by Sunday afternoon it should all be gone!

The problem I'm having is how dense and wet it is. It's sticking to the snow plow blade and I end up just pushing it around not plowing it to one side.

I still think it's pretty cool though. I guess I'm just a winter-lover.

I just came in from shoveling both of my driveways. The bottom is/was wet, but the top is like powder. My wife and kids dug into a big pile and made a small igloo after the last snow. It still stands, just much smaller from the 2 previous days of melting. I just added a bunch to it so they can dig inside of it and make it bigger if they want.

The hunt for a "new" vehicle continues. I think it's interesting that all the local car lots have used Dodge and Chevy (mostly Chevy) trucks, but very few Fords. The few Fords I'm finding are very high mileage compared to the others.

Looks like another rainy weekend. It's beginning to feel like Kentucky, isn't it?

Has anyone seen this? (Obviously English isn't the writers first language)

Another sloppy weekend, at least the first part. The Wildcats won yesterday! Can they win out? Time will tell.

Ken, I have not heard of the new truck, but am glad to see it! I was wondering why they dropped it in the first place. As of now, I think you have to go foreign built if you want a small pickup. Even those trucks aren't as small as they once were. There's some people that would prefer an open bed as opposed to something like the Explorer. With a tonneau cover you can close the bed when you need to. I know those aren't always water tight, but they are nice and do good enough most of the time.

Yesterday morning the date/time was: 3/14/15 at 9:26:53 a.m

The mathematical constant 'Pi" is 3.141592653

True math geeks think it's a pretty cool thing because it only happens once a century.
