BJ...we must be getting your -40 wind chill tonight and through Tuesday. Can we send it back to you??? :)  Just finished shoveling 4 inches of snow too. We got it back over here Terry!!!

Can you send me some of that snow John? I wanna dip my face in it! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Not liking it, at all. I spend alot of time out in the garage. It was warm enough today to use a little spray polish/cleaner on it.  :)

 It got up to 40 today, I changed the oil in the crew cab duallie. Can't do it with the door closed so I took advantage of the balmy feeling 40F* Finally got out the 15/40. Think I waited long enough?

I've had my 104 year old house in Indiana for sale for a little over a year now and finally got a solid offer on it just before the first cold snap. About a week after the cold snap, realtor calls to say she walked into the house to find the entire first floor flooded from broken cast iron radiators.  >:( >:( >:( >:( No heat in house now and price dropped $10,000.00!  :'( :'( (Lost the buyer too!)

Damfino...that is the pits man.  Good luck to you and hope you get it fixed and sold.  The weather here in WI is causing all sorts of problems. Now with the LPG shortage some people have run out and are draining their pipes until they can get more gas.

Northern Indiana here, blowing and drifting snow with a high of 9 F. today. Low of -15 F. tonight. Enough is enough!! This is the worst winter weather I have seen in a long time. I checked the 16 day forecast and we still don't get above freezing....bah.

This is todays satellite photo of Lake Huron. Be careful Bill, I see a giant iceberg broken loose from Manitoulin maybe headed down to come crashing into the Bruce Peninsula.
