    Sorry spelling error by me. I simulate some mental things now, I hope to stimulate my brain after I retire so I don't go crazy. I'm ready. Most of the bikers I deal with over the phones are good folks.

    Where's Fred!!! Those darn coyotes were just off my back yard at around 11:00 last night.
    First time I shined the light I saw 2 sets of eyes just slightly in the woods, second time I shined the spotlight I saw one run just inside the edge in the yard, 3rd time didn't see anything, but they started howling and barking back in the woods, then I knew for sure they were coyotes!
    Looks like time to get a shooting light for night! :annoyed:

    Mike you need a snowblower selfie stick. ;)

    :wave: sixtys. I had an interesting week. My dad took a tumble coming out of a quickie mart (Wawa for your east coasters) and ended up in the hospital. My mom was apoplectic until we finally got her to the hospital to see him. They glued the cut over his eye, and he had a bit of rash on elbows and knees. He also somehow managed to crack a vertebra! One of the "wings" on the edge, so no worries, just some pain. The most fun was figuring out the logistics of how to get his car back home. My wife is still not able to drive, I had the truck which only carries two adults (at least only two 85+ year olds), and so there were lots of interesting variables. Our neighbors came to the rescue thankfully. Dad was back home in time for dinner, also thankfully.

    Happy to hear dad is ok. Sorry he got hurt, but sounds like he did the least amount of damage for a tumble.

    :woot: for a snowblower. would have taken a lot longer than that to shovel o_O

    And here I thought we might be done with the white stuff. No such luck. Expecting more snow early this week, but thankfully only an inch, maybe two.
    At least I won't spend a week stuck out here in the woods before I can manage to clear the road enough to get out! Hopefully...

    You never know when this stuff will happen.
    Only day off today. Still fighting the aftermath of this cold. Body acting real wierd.

    A snowblower smiley would be pretty cool.
    Everyone out and about. Be safe. Not quite cabin fever yet.
