Mitch, I haven't had a Dremel since I wore mine out porting my 289 heads on the steps of the trailer house. Remember that?
Yessir. It's a little foggy, but I do remember. That was the first Dremel I had ever seen.

Kinda sad to see the snow melting, I wouldn't mind seeing it more often, we used to take vacation up to Minnesota during Christmas when we were kids, (many moons ago), we have kinfolk up there, used to love riding the snowmobile and playing on the frozen lakes and rivers. Here's a pic of my 65

All I want for Christmas is some highway pegs for my V Star. Other than that, nothing.
I'm just hoping my 10 year old son has a great Christmas. Nothing like watching his eyes light up on that morning!

My wife and I decided that since we get pretty much what we want through the year, we don't need much at Christmas!

No snow here but I wouldn't mind getting about 5 to 8 inches of the stuff. I have been yearning to get my atv out in the snow but Mother Nature won't cooperate!

Drove throught the bilzzard Thursday.

I had to make a big loop from Jackson to Baton rouge, Lafayette, Houma, then back home! The first 150 miles was in the snow storm, it was a long trip. The photo is at the Louisiana welcome center on I-55. I kept hearing a loud boom on the sheetmetal every half hour or so, couldn't figure it out till I some ice fell on the windshield, it was ice sloughing off the boom and falling on the cab!

I just made it to work (in Memphis). Average speed on I-55 was around 75. A little ice on some of the major fly-overs in Memphis but little else.

-and that suits me just fine.

That's bad news for the people in that wreck, there's multiple fatalities.
The weather sure is weird. I went to Brookhaven this morning, about Hazlehurst my windows fogged up, I rolled down my window and it was warm, when I got to Brookhaven the temps were in the mid-high 60's partly sunny, when I left home it was 48 and foggy...
