George Simmons Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 From the "Wish I Was Down South file: We're forecast to receive 7-10 inches of white joy today. Ducky... I've got about 25% of my lights/devices still awaiting deployment and about a mile of extension cords that still need to be laid out and connected. Should be interesting... tell me again why I still live in this foresaken part of the country... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Holcomb Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 We have been very lucky to be in the 50's and 60's. It is normally in the 30's, and the ground is usually frozen by now. I am taking advantage of the nice weather. Well, time to get out and git 'r dun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnieHorning Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Just wait 'till all of this slushy stuff freezes, the roads are already bumpy. You're going to need a jackhammer to pound anything into the ground. So much for the aluminum stakes I like to use.I still need together onto the first story roof to add more lights and connect the controllers. May as well be wearing Rollerblades.

George Simmons Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Jeff Millard wrote: Did it melt yet?Actually most of it HAS melted. Although to be completely forthcoming, we really got very little snow - less than an inch. The 7-10" stuff moved farther east and blasted the Twin Cities and Wisconsin. Good for them. But thanks for asking Jeff. I was really worried what I was going to do with that much wet snow right now.I'm not exactly a religious person, but I've taken this snow storm failure reprieve as a sign that maybe I should be nicer to Jim. Maybe I should stop saying out loud the things that most everyone else is thinking as we watch him lead himself down a dead end street... or maybe I should just sit back and stifle my urge to post his score following one of his elegant swan dives into operator error. Perhaps I should just be content with the easy laugh without trying to pull a Bottomley on him when he's down. It's just that it's so much fun... and he makes it so easy. I'll have to think about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
