Yep, JD has an accent all his own.
Pete,
That's not as funny unless you tell us southern folk how one typically dresses in that kind of weather. I had on long johns, insulated coveralls and a coat when I helped a fellow FTE member install a shift kit in his truck, and we spent half the time standing next to the propane heater in the shed next to the truck since the temps had dropped into the mid 50's that day.
In the weather you're describing, I wouldn't even want to go outside, and if I did, would probably wear more clothes than your friend did. I'll put on a jacket if the temps drop below 75
.
And for the record, the only plow I've ever hooked up has been the kind that goes behind a tractor for running through the dirt. A record snow storm down here is about 3", and if that happens, we all just stay home. I've been to Minnesota in February. All I can say is if I was this guy, I'd move back to Georgia.

Don't Ripleys believe it or not wont even go there.
yeah i live in north florida where I can be in 'bama or jawga in 20 minutes and I love it. But dont move to mississippi though! (no offense to anyone from sippi) I am here now until june 14 and it sucks. the countryside is pretty but the people (at least around meridian) arent that friendly like bcak home. And there is a lot more racism. Back home I can have black friends ridnin my truck thats covered in rebel flag stuff and it dont bother 'em.
I think it was.

The whole story on this would make you sick. It even made CNN when it happened. Long story short, these people look like they are straight out of wrong turn. Deputy buddy of mine gets a call to do a welfare check on the mother of these in-breds because she checked herself out of the hospital against medical advice. He get there and finds her dead on a bed in the living room. Now, this is no ordinary home. It's a single wide trailer. Dad is 79 years old, mom is 69, the two sons are in their mid-thirties. Luckily, the daughters were taken from the home long ago. There are also right at 34 dogs living in the trailer. You can imagine the scene.
When my buddy gets inside, he finds two of the dogs on the bed eating what's left of mom's left arm. On the bed next to her, is one of the sons eating breakfast and watching TV. Dad is sitting at the table eating about five feet away and the other son is sitting across from dad eating as well.
They all got charged with about 10 felonies apiece and were found incompetent to stand trial. They are now back living in the same filthy trailer with a bunch of new dogs.

Read the article above. Of course, it doesn't make mention of the whole brother/father relationship because that was years ago and the focus of this was the death of the mom. I had thought she was 69 but she was really 65.

Good morning all! I went for my first run since getting back to MD this morning. Only 3 miles, but it was great to get out & it helped clear out my sinuses. Speaking of... I took some Benadryl yesterday to see if it would help clear my sinuses.... I passed out @ 3:30pm and slept until almost 8PM!!! I felt like a zombie when I got up, ate a little dinner, and fell back asleep by 10PM. I'm never taking that crap again!
