Thing's to do before the real snow gets here !!!!
« on: November 27, 2007, 05:52:38 pm »
 
I was out today trying to get thing's organized before to white stuff comes in for real

 I really need to shorten the daily wish list ...  Daylight is short ... Siesta is getting longer ....   A 2 X 8 is much heavier today then it was ten years ago ... must be the old growth in my bones .

 For some reason I just can't do what I did a few years ago    whiteflag_smiley  splitwood_smiley   smiley_sweat_drop

Marcel you're just getting old face it... :D :D  The snow is already here for the duration.  We are getting quite a bit at the moment.  I'd say we got about 6-8 inches on the ground.  Just came in from banking up the house and by tommorow I can do it all over again. :o

The ATV is stored and the sled has been used going on two weeks now... Got a foot a snow on the ground....  Got most everything done afore the white stuff landed  ;D ...

It's OK Marcel you get smarter when you get older  ::) on some things anyway  :D And yes I do concur those 2X8's do get heavier with age  ;D :D :) ;)

Marcel,
Here is what you do.

Sleep in later.  You wear yourself out getting up too early.
Go to bed earlier.  Your dreams are much better than anything on TV.

Invite the nephews over for dinner.  Just tell them before they can eat X amount of firewood needs splittin' or x amount of other chores needs doin.

Anything else I can help you with?  ;D

We are supposed to get 3 or 4 inches of wet snow tonight. Snow thrower sales are brisk this week.  ;D It should be interesting tomorrow.

It's white here, but no more than 2 inches as we seem to get rain mixed in during these storms. Maybe Monday will be different. I've seen big predictions fizzle out many times during the snow season. ;D
