Winter 2015/2016 General BS Thread

One week away from winter and it's 70 degrees outside. The weather folks keep saying it's going to be a wet and cold winter. I hope not.

We're busier than a Jehovah's Witness at a door convention. Last weekend was pretty epic even for us.

Hope everyone is well.

Haven't heard much from Matt or Willie lately. Hope you guys are ok.

Marty, I hope you are felling better and getting sorted out.

The rest of you guys take care and have a good week.

70 degree winter doesn't seem all that bad to me.

The dog house back in the trailer already?

I'd like it to get a bit cooler tell Jan 2nd so the rest of deer season will be better.

Trying to make it tell Friday, then I'll be off work for 2 weeks.

Hunt hopefully...

I've only used 22 hours of time off this year. 10 of that was due to a funeral, a couple more hours was for a DOT physical for my CDL. I think I've taken 6 hours of time off for me this yeat, Im just ready to get away from work for awhile.

Glad to hear Marty.

Enjoy your break Larry. Sounds like you deserve one.

Josh, I haven't even put the trailer back up yet. I'm hoping to get some time this weekend to finish off those few items and start looking for taillights to wire up. I do have some seasonal brews in the fridge that need to be delivered. I'll shoot you a text and see about coming by tomorrow after work when convenient for you.

Bob, have you been getting a lot of folks driving by to check out your lights?

We have several cars every night pull over and sit and watch the lights. If it's raining we can't run them, so probably no lights Thursday and possibly Friday with all of the rain coming in.

Waiting

Made it to the bank and pulled cash to pay for transfer. And we have a place lined up to use for unloading Ka'Bluey. Haven't heard from them today yet, but he's on the way
