Tell me about it Rob. My mainline blower for moving snow is in need of repair... We are getting snow now. I have no idea of its going to meet my trigger amounts.

Just got home from an afternoon in Aberdeen. Visited some friends.

The wife suggested that I get an ATV with a snowplow... I'm thinking she might not be feeling well... imagine a woman suggesting that a guy get something with four wheels.

I told her it would be a shame to leave an ATV sit all summer, so I'd have to buy ATV's for her and the kids, then we'd need a toy hauler so we could go somewhere and have fun in the summer!

edit - better get a Super Duty to tow all that with too, what was I thinking.......

so how bad did you guys get it? Here in H20town it they closed down school and it was pretty windy. I went out snowmobiling and out by the interstate you couldn't even see that 100 yrds ahead of you. It was pretty interesting.

It was blowing around here quite a bit in Pierre. Didn't get much. Clearing was easy and done in short order.

About the same here, not much snow, but the wind made visibility really bad. Lots of cars off the highway.

I was working when that mess rolled in. Just north of the Vermillion exit was the worst.

Today I was called in 5 hours early to cover a shift. So a 12 hour day for me here.

That would be great Frankie. Butler Cat seems to do pretty good in and around Pierre.

It was so cold that I slept in this morning. Totally worth it. I would like to crawl back into bed. Tomorrow is my day off though.

Wow!!! 20 degrees to the plus side of the thermometer today, and nicer tomorrow!!!! Me and the whole gang going riding tonight on the sleds! Finally should be a decent evening to ride, anyway. Betcha the lake is frozen mighty solid buy now, ice racing is FUN!!!!!!

Why don't one of you come and buy me out? Then I can leave for Texas now instead of waiting til Fall!!!!! The way the economy is right now, starting to wish I would have sold my hose last year!!!! Oh well, maybe things will pick up by summer......

Happy Friday guys... at least it will be a little warmer out this weekend.

Sorry Dave, one house is all I can afford! But, interest rates are really good right now, may even get lower. Hope you get a buyer soon.
