Yeah, it stayed like that for a few days before it broke away. I was just hoping it didn't come down while my daughter was in there!!! Made for a pretty cool pic though.

Maybe I am destined to be snow-logged my whole life.

Picture time. Here is a picture taken after it first started snowing, the blizzard of 1982, in Colorado. Denver got hit with 5 feet, drifts of 10 feet in some places. I was 9 months old when this picture was taken:



Those are our Golden Retrievers, Amber and Sandy. The kid in the big coat is my older sister Nicole. You can see my older brother Russell, was 4-years-old at the time, standing near the truck in an orange hat. Can't see my dad in that picture he's under the hood of that Chevy.

My dad used to tell stories about that blizzard. The night that picture was taken, the dogs were out in their heated dog house. The next morning 8 foot of snow had blown into the back yard and dad had to dig a tunnel out to get to the dogs. He then hooked his plow up to that Chevy and went out to save people stuck in their cars.

Ever heard of "Faces of Death" series of movies? Pretty much a documentary on how people/animals die.... my brother couldn't watch it, but then, me sitting there eating pizza probably didn't help.

One thing that does freak me out is the power the state has to detain you. Some nut-job psychologist can have a crap day and decided that someone should be detained for further evaluation. Yeah... you wanna see the ugly side of me? Lock me up somewhere without true justification.... you better NEVER let me out then...

Not that I've noticed,,, I don't think Ken minds that there is an OT thread as much as where it is within the forum.

This weekend should be pretty lazy. If its warm then working on the truck. Or if it snows, driving the truck! Either way I will be by or in my truck.

I never see you guys post in the GNA ~ General Non-Automotive,,, But it is one huge OT forum,,, You should cruise it and see if there is anything that interests you.

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum19/

I would also like to invite all of you to come to chat and join the "SNL Club" this Saturday night, unless you have anything better to do!!!

I think you would all have a blast in there!! I sure do!! And we NEVER talk tech,,, it's simply not allowed!! That's what the forums are for!!
