Winter isn't over yet....you might hang on to some of that firewood just to be safe.

It's not going anywhere but my back yard .

We finally got the tractor going and the driveway cleared today! It felt good to get out. Drove to town twice, got feed for the birds, visited the neighbors for beer:30 and had a good day!

I've been going in and out since the power went out to get fuel and wood .

Fair to partly cloudy. I think my daughter has the flu.

Bummer, I hope not. The flu is a nasty strain this year

Last coupe days I pulled some people out of ditches, and made a supply run to the church. (Stranded motorists of I-65 staying there) Big diesel 4x4 was unstoppable in the snow with lockers in both ends. She didn't like those below zero mornings though. It was 13 this morning, she jumped to life first turn of the key. Had to drive to the VA for a Dr. appt this morning. (about 65 miles) Wife went with me. (teacher, and school was cancelled) She was worried about the roads... we got to take the truck! She hates climbing up in that thing, uses a step stool I keep in the bed. My nephew's truck broke down and was sitting on a country road a few miles out of town. Towed him back easy enough after we got back from the VA. Roads were ok in my eyes. Only a few rough spots. Truck stop close to home real crazy busy now with everyone back on the road. They don't get a delivery soon, their gonna run out of fuel. Local IGA desperately waiting on deliveries... Gonna take a week to get back to normal.

We rolled through town on 65 and many low roads. It was like driving on a washboard. I have to give the city a -5 on this snow storm response. We did not see one plow truck out today. Roads were never properly cleared.

Yup. Today. They are terrorists.

On my way home tonight from my Mom's house [ran to the store for her, brought her some stuff for my son] I pulled a 17 year old girl out of a ditch. I felt sorry for her when I rolled by because I could tell she was young.

Me too, she was fine while she was off school for two weeks then today bam. She's supposed to go back tomorrow, which I don't think is going to happen.

I hope the Mrs. is doing better. My daughter spent most of the day with a low fever, resting with mom.

 

[SkullDaddy.45]

She was doing better. I left for indiana this afternoon, found out she was at work by 2:00!! (Sigh) but she's taking her meds and she said she's taking it easy.
