Many outages in my area. Luckily we still have power. Was like an obstacle course driving to work this morning. http://outages.firstenergycorp.com/pa.html

 

Hoping the nesting eagles in Hanover make it through this wind. Two eggs in the nest now.

 

We expect pics of the carnage.

 

Oh it’s bad trees all down around the house. Buildings flying apart here at work. Almost got whacked by a flying panel. Hit a couple of trees or big limbs in the rd bumper and skids did their jobs. You can barely make out in this picture wher the bumper was hit and the paint knocked off the skids

 

I’m not going anywhere around that side of the airport if I don’t have to

 

Good morning folks. Stayed home this morning so I can take the dog in to have her stitches removed.

Should be to work by noon....not planning on getting a lot done.

 

dang. i hit like but didnt mean i like the carnage. you be careful.

 

So, that picture of the ridge I posted was pretty cool. I caught that lighting when we had a ton of clouds overhead and then the afternnon sun to the west created those really cool shadows. Here's the original picture. These cell phone cameras are getting better and better.



Edit: That ridge is part of the southwest end of the Barry Goldwater Air Force Range.

 

Morning all
Raining here finally, we needed it. Temps went up, now in the 50s so no snow. Good day to take off

Holy shit Chris, be careful.



Wait how did you hit the trees?

 

Guess my day isn't so bad compared to many on the East coast. You all be careful and keep your head on a swivel! @Tacoma Mike you be especially careful with that ice. Hope things go well, or as well as they can.

Sat down at 6 this morning to connect to work and check emails, working from home today anyhow. Stupid thing to do 3.5 hours later finally came up for air. And coffee, lot more coffee needed yet today way behind.

Jim and Martin you keep posting pictures like you are I am going to end up packing up the truck and making a long drive. Want to go to both places now. Snow is melting here finally, mud season is just around the corner. As is more snow yet I'm sure.

Not only no but hell no! Have enough of them too, but thank goodness not near as many as you do. The stories I could tell about them, pretty sure you have more than your share too.

 

I was talking to some visitors yesterday. She's been retired for 3 years. Last summer they traveled a bit and they got home the day before he had to go back to work. He goes back to work 1 day and decides "screw this"...pulled the plug. They bought a 14' travel trailer and hooked it behind the Tacoma. This is their 1st year of snowbirding and love it. They said they're using this as their "learning curve year" and will make adjustments to their rig. I talk to people like this every year. Some have a huge budget, some don't. But they come every year and really enjoy that lifestyle. I don't think you could go wrong here or Florida, just whatever your personal preference is.

 

WOW
THIS IS IN BOLD CAUSE ITS BEEN LIKE 20 YEARS SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED.
GOT CALLED INTO GM OFFICE.

Ok back to regular asshole customers...

 

Driving to work in the dark on the back roads pop over a hill and there they were. I made it around several others. The first scRed the crap out of me I hit it around 40 mph

 

I call B.S., must have been another guy. Or he was drunk

Just kidding, it's about time

 

I have no room to talk, I hit a rock in broad daylight
