I'd willingly send you all the snow we get, free of charge, if it

possible. I can take the cold, I can take the wind, I can take the
cold
wind, I can take the piles and piles of pillowesque jackets and
parkas
and layer upon layer of layers and layers of clothing. But I HATE
SNOW.

P.S. Snow that only stuck to surfaces not related to driving (e.g.
concrete,
asphalt, windshields, fenders) would be grudgingly acceptable.

When we got our 15-16 inches of snow right around
Christmas last year, I was a happy man. Since I work
most days from home, driving doesn't bug me much.
Plus, it's always fun to see the people who don't know
how to drive in snow off in the ditches.

I figured you had a couple of those radios. Why in the shop?

A tune up! This one hasn't been in since I got it so I figured I'd have it gone
over.

degrees outside right now.The women next door are doing fine.The last
radio I bought at the Goodwill store about a month ago is my Elgin

We had our first measurable snow in MN last night. Of course the
roads were
full of accidents this am. Not as many as I anticpiated but the ones
I saw
were bad ones. Two involved people tangling with snowplows.

It's like people have to relearn winter driving every year.

Heh. A couple of years ago when we last got about
12 inches or so of snow, some idiot decided to show
off how great his Grand Cherokee could handle
the snow by having it climb up to the top of one
of those huge snowpiles. You know, the ones you
find in a parking lot when the snowplow dumps
a ton of snow about 10-15 feet high? Well, his
Grand Cherokee got up there, but it was way too
steep to get down. The guy had to wait for the
snow to melt enough; I just wished I was there
for when the snow underneath gave way and the
Grand Cherokee flipped down the artificial snowbank.

LOL! Ahh the brave SUV driver. Being an off-roader for years I get a kick
out of these parking lot heros. If you've never turned a manual locking hub
you aint an off-roader.

My two old Jeeps (1942 Willys Jeep and 1948 Willys Jeep) don't have
manual locking hubs on them.(although they can be retrofitted) Each one
of them have the standard gear shift lever and two more little shift
levers.JT and Dave www.supertalkms.com on FM 97.3 radio.Dave must
be real dumb,I reckon,a few minutes ago he said he never heard of
alcohol being used for medicinal purposes before.It's going to be in the
low 20's in North Mississippi and the 30's in South Mississippi
tonight.This cold weather affects my arthritis real bad.I might have to
reach for my bottle of Old Crow Whiskey,,, for medicinal purposes
only,of course.

I'll give you that, but it's not so much fun to see them sliding at ME
from every direction at every moment of every trip.
