    Just enough to look kinda cool.
    Same thing here -6 when I woke up and all the gravel pits are closed with snow. Shot the wrecker company a text and I was in a truck an hour later. Only got to 3 calls but hey 200ish bucks I’ll take it.

    Good morning driver's didn't fair too bad yesterday no snow here just rain. Today 34* this morning and they're saying temp's are going to be dropping soon and freezing.
    So if y'all are out be careful out there today.

    No work today but I don’t have any water at my place. Thinking a main pipe froze, have a heater down in the utility closet and tap open all night. I’ll occasionally get a small sputtering when the water heater kicks on but otherwise nothing. Should be above freezing tomorrow so hopefully it thaws out by then.

    Probably working tonight. Getting out of town will be tricky. Roads don't look too bad once I get about 50 miles north.

    HUMPDAY! 5 degrees this am. Really slow at work it looks like. I'll be struggling to get 40 this week.
    Be safe drivers.

    Take the slow days when you can cause you know it won't last.
    Good morning driver's 6* this morning no snow just cold. Go 3 miles up the road and they got 4 inches or so further you go to the TN state line the deeper it gets. Schools closed in my county virtual learning today.
    Y'all have a good and safe day today.

    It's been slow for a long time, getting concerned. No freight in any of the plants. Hardly any wire in the yard that's used for making bolts. I dunno, fingers crossed I don't get layed off. As much as I dislike this place I need a job for 3.7 years yet.

    It's a slow heal. I can bend it but it still hurts. No real grip strength with it still. I'm still wearing the brace. I was told to wear it until it doesn't hurt anymore.

    Can't like this. Creek is starting to freeze up. Just came back in from running the dog and jumping across the branch. 22* now.
