Sure man I get that. Back in 96-97 Bellingham saw nearly 40'' of snow over about a week, the most we had ever had. Just 3 months prior to this the City did an extended forecast and said it would be a very mild winter, and therefore sold all but 3 of its snow plows...dumbest thing they ever did. They shut the entire town down for nearly a week, and would ticket you if you were out on the road. It was a nightmare.....

40" is NUTS! I wasn't in town for it, but the CO blizzard of 06/07 was crazy to come back to, even a week later. Last one I was really in was before I had Nyx and was 19" in a single day back in Baltimore. Lots of stuff was shut down, but I was out playing...

Went to work this morning and we had 1 customer so locked it down at noon. Here are a few pics after I got home.
Im jealous...they said we would get some of that as well. Looks like 30 miles north of the NC border was too far north...weathermen up here are idiots...

Seriously though, that sucks. But we all went through it at some point in our lives. You'll get over it.
The only reason I'm using building it off of a chevy is cause my uncle has an old beat up 87 K20 that I can get real cheap.

Definitely go dance! A guy that can dance... yeah, the girls like it!

Unless the girl has no rhythm at all, then they can get pissed!!

Yeah they were calling for a trace here and when I got up there was nothing at my house but as I got closer to work heading east there was a skiff. WTF! Wasnt even enough for me to get a good doughnut in the parking lot at work.
I do miss my old '93 Yota with the spool in the rear. I had alot of fun in the snow with that thing. That reminds me of my idea of putting an electric locker out of a Tacoma in my '94 Yota. I'm going have to make a few calls to the junkyards tomorrow. After getting hung up this past weekend, I've got to fix that.

Afternoon All!

got my lap band adjusted today...feels really weird...I am on liquids only til tomorrow.

officially I lost 81 lbs since I saw the surgeon in July!

Hopefully I will lose 20+ lbs a month for a few months with the adjustment...

she lied to me though...said it was a really small needle...well that was just the anesthetic for the BIG needle!!

I swear it was the size of a 6 penny finnish nail! and she didnt wait long enough for it to get numb! Ouch!

At least it was all over in 10 minutes. And I got a garfield bandaid.
