That's some fine looking booze there Jerry, but no amount of bourbon could make me like fcuking snow........... ;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?"

It looks just like that here, Jerry! At 7 AM we had 21", now it's almost 4" more and still rolling. The winds are kicking up, will get interesting pretty soon!
Except the bourbon...mine is Beam. I'll need some by the time I get the driveway and sidewalk cleared, that's for sure
:D

Beam is fine, but for extended periods you need variety.  ;D   Nice collection there Jerry, you are a man of taste.

Gracias Bobby  ;D  Quality over quantity. No mixing allowed. That's what I have other liquors for. I like your taste too  ;)  I enjoy that too but it's mostly eye candy these days...... except for one particular Colombian  :)

Just a part of the beauty of Colorado Bill  :) It's winding down. The sun will be popping through and the melt will begin.

My trip to Crested Butte is not until the end of the month.

Went to CB about 10 years ago for a quick 3 day ski trip. It snowed the entire time we were there, about 30" total.  Was a great, memorable trip...

I'm with you about the snow Terry.. do you ever get any where you live ?

No mate, I was forced to go to the snow a couple of times when I was in the Army, but that's a few hours drive from my place, and only just far enough away. It has occasionally (very occasionally) snowed on the outskirts of Melbourne, where I live, but I'm talking about a faint powdering, not a 6 feet deep pile like Jerry's coping with! Cheers, Terry. ;D
