Ya know, I actually know where Camdenton is, been through there a few times. Wife has family down to Lebanon... I think one of her cousins lives just SE of Camdenton as well... Winds aren't real bad here, but the temps are heading down to the 0 mark again...

I had a snide comment, but I'll be nice... We have plenty good hotels to choose from. Depending whereabouts she would be, the roads for the most part are pretty good tonight.

-10 here, -25 with wind chill.

I performed a smoke show for the neighbors this morning...complete with music that sounded like bolts in a coffee can.

Morning Lisa. Did you have it plugged in last night? I'm glad we didn't have any wind. I've been parking in one of the 800 handicapped parking spaces here at the plant, since that is the only place where there is an outlet in our parking lot!

Yeah, I had it on the timer for two hours. Had I known it would be that cold I would've just plugged it in to the wall.

It'll be a different story when I leave today..no outlets here. She'll start.

You're lucky you get to plug yours in.

I just leave mine plugged in all night. Luckily, I used to be a guard here when I started, so I let my buds in the security dept. know, they'll cover for me!

BTW, I love that description.....bolts in a coffee can...that's perfect!!LOL!

I got the 5th gear problem in the NV fixed, it won't be happening again... now starting the finals hopefully today (have one rescheduled due to it being at the same time I had to be in Waterloo for my wife's graduation ceremony...) if the instructor gets it finished in time today. Otherwise I will be taking two tomorrow... The county finally cleared what I hadn't off the road yesterday. I can about imagine what it would have been like had I not done that... It didn't take me very long to do it at least. Haven't had to fire any diesels off, hopefully won't for a bit in regards to the tractors. The 966 wasn't too happy to fire in the cold yesterday afternoon after having to sit out while I worked on the transmission. It is now back inside. The old wood burner did pretty good just burning the pile of cardboard and oil bottles and various other shop garbage that had accumulated all summer.
