Joyous Sunday morning Washington, Tim, Wayne, Trustin and all the crew. Another frozen morning at 12°, a fresh dusting of sheet and a windchill of about 5°.

Off to Mom's for our Sunday routine!

Hope Everyone has a blessed day and Ma Nature is kind!

Good morning Washington crew of Ford fans!

Rod, it's a little warmer out West this morning. I started the day 30° it's up to 35° with some light but wet snow coming down. They say we are going to have a high of 33° huh. Our snow well probably be full rain before the day is over.

Howdy Rod, Wayne, Trustin and anyone else that checks in.

I watched our car get in an accident yesterday. We got home from a run down town and had some stuff to unload. We backed up toward the shop, both Maria and I had different ideas but we didn't act on either idea. We started unloading the car and the next thing you know the car is sliding down the hill and smacked our rock wall. It ruined a tire and wheel and couple small scratches in the front bumper.

Good Tuesday morning Tim, Wayne, Trustin and all the crew.
Sorry to see pictures like this, but no one or other thing was hurt or damaged.

Starting the day at 26° and headed to about 50° and just maybe some of the Sheet we have laying around will leave! Hope everyone has a great day.

Well we are coming to the end of my one week reprieve from the rig. Tomorrow I have to go back out for another 3 weeks so tons of fun.

It's currently 30 F, snowing and windy here in St. John's Newfoundland.

So the plan is since I get off the rig next on the 14th of February, we will both, me and the cute little blonde, head for the house on the coast, get a couple of days at home, then drive to Boise with my truck and enclosed trailer, pick up the new kitchen cabinets for the house in Orem and take them there and get them inside.

Sometime I have to go see the doctors about this nerve in my right shoulder effecting my hand. That and I'm due for my routine checks.

Good morning Rod, Ken, Eric and the rest of the Ford Fans.

Eric, sounds like your going to be busy in February when you get off the rig. Hopefully the weather will be a little better when you get back out there.

Ken, We ordered a wheel yesterday and a complete set of winter tires, as soon as they get in and mounted up it will be headed to the front-end shop. It was a pretty slow impact, but cars are made so light anymore is hard to tell.

Aww Tim that stinks. Did it just slide on the snow pack?
I had my truck slide a little when there was ICE on the driveway, the truck had not been moved in like a month. But the warm up did something and as I was out there getting s box out from the back seat I closed the door. I think it shifted it just enough to make it move on the ice. Didn't go too far but man was I ascared ! Thought it was going to keep going across street and hit neighbors car . I think it only went like 5" but man O man

Hi Lin, Thanks for looking. Yep, slid on the snow. I knew better but didn't act on my first thought. We had been given a small metal table, so I had backed up toward the shop to unload it. It wasn't long after we took the table out that the car took off on its own. Luckly neither of us were in front of the car.

Different story but kind of the same.
One time in I was a kid I had a tall truck with a long drop trailer hitch. It had an automatic transmission; I had pulled up in front of our house and went inside. As I was standing at the kitchen sink, I looked out and there was my truck backed up against my neighbor's car. I had forgot to put the truck in park, luckily my drop trailer hitch matched up with hi bumper and hit the front license plate. Lots of history with the neighbor's car. I lost control of a bicycle once.. OK twice and both times they hit the neighbor's car. He bought a new car when I moved out... LOL

Dang, Tim, that sucks. I think we're all about done and tired of this ice crap. Bring on the global warming!

Happy Happy Hump Day Washington, Tim, Wayne, Eric, Lin, Ken and all the crew. I posted somewhere in a state about having the Ambulance slide away, NOY FUN!
On another note, In my woods we started the warm up yesterday at 50°, overnight low of 38° and today will be 55° and by Friday in the 60's! We are having a nice early Spring Thaw and I would expect all the unwanted white sheet will be gone by Friday!

Eric, sounds like a busy February for you!

Good morning Wayne, Trustin, Eric, Rod, Ken and crew!

It's snowing here today but I don't think it's going to last long, it's 35° at 0920 local time. I received the new wheel yesterday and the new snow tires are in, so back to the big city and get everything put back together.
