It looks like we will get a few more inches later.

Well, with snow over the plate you're not likely to get stopped.

Sounds like you really have your hands full.
How old is your grandson?

He is 24 months and he is a handful.. It isn't that bad watching him... He likes trucks, so all I have to do is put on Gearz his favorite show..

I don't know about that, 5 is a bit early.. Maybe wait at least till he's 6..

I can't wait for him to get old enough to work on a truck.. Then maybe his fathers 77 F250 will get done..

Is that '77 a running joke in your family?
I started "mechanickin" when I was no more than six and disassembled my dad's new lawnmower.

Not a running joke.. It is just my son has 3 of them and he hasn't been working on them due to low funds and having to watch his son.. The one he used as a daily driver runs, but he needs to finish fixing the brakes, replace the bed, and fix some rust holes..

He has another one he has been trying to sell and another one in pieces with no motor..

I have been trying to convince him to sell them cause he will never get then together..

Jim it was not too heavy just a lot of it
I love seeing my son getting involved with trucks and racing - took my oldest boy (5) this summer to Maple Grove in PA for the NHRA drags this summer and he loved it. The funny thing is that while we were there right after lunch he fell asleep in a stroller in the pits for about an hour while top fuelers were firing up there engines and slept right through it all (he had ear muffs on). He's not normally be in a stroller, but we brought it because of all the walking - never expected him to take a nap there of all places!
