Yes. Its supposed to snow Wednesday. But let's get spring started. I'm sick of the cold temps and crappy weather.

I'm game for semi warmer weather, but I'm already tired of the pollen.

Maybe this snow will help keep down the pollen.

I wonder how bad the bugs will be this summer. Ugh.

It's got to be spring, there's snow covering the pollen, then pollen covering the snow...

Pollen, spring, and snow.

That's a weird combo.

Glad to see y'all making it through the goofy weather.
We're having the typical Missouri spring weather. One day it's 70, then it's 30 something with snow flurries, like we did yesterday morning.
Our house deal is moving forward, but with a couple of delays. We're having the sellers have the roof, sewer, fireplace, and electrical service inspected closer, just to cover our butts. If all turns out well, then we move towards getting the house appraised. So far we're still on track for a closing date of May 18th...

Glad things are moving along Bob. Always good to cover your tail with stuff like septic and roof and electrical.

Good luck with the house Bob. The weather here is doing about the same thing. Had snow flurries yesterday morning. Through Raleigh all the way back out to Fuquay was what I saw.

Bring on the pollen, only if we get warmer weather!

Wellllllll... the truck made it's first 2 passes of the year, and seemed to do decent. It did load/unload it's self so that's a plus. The race was decent, raved from about 2 tell about 11.

Here is 2 pics I took, 1 prior to racing and 1 from yesterday after getting it washed back up.
