Things are interesting here. Had two of my newly adopted grand kids here this weekend, and one of them got sick Also, had planned on going to Shaver lake until I saw the weather forecast. Now it is planned for next Saturday. Other than that, same old stuff, different day.

edit: Forgot to mention, I did it again. Got too close to the carport wall, and now the right rear bumper is even more damaged. Going to have to spot doing that...

Lots of snow on the mountains looks nice, the two major passes from grapevine were closed early this morning due to snow and ice.

I've never had any trouble going over the Siskiyous. It's those knuckle heads that keep me from driving over in the winter.

Without fail there's always one dummy in a snow storm going to fast that gets I5 closed...

10-4 to that. Bad enough as a driver, but when you are working out there........

Makes me glad to be in an office now.

Yeah, but it looks like I may be back on the grade (highway) for storm damage and construction season.

Remember, just because we have great 4wd vehicles, we can't abandon common sense (like cheby drivers).

Be safe and "give 'em a break".

It may be me out there.
