Big easy in the snow

[shaggy91954]

 
I have 2, one in the sump and a backup.. I am going to spend the next couple weeks getting everything off the basement floor. I also have 2 shop vacs, had one and just bought a backup figured to get it now before the rush in a few weeks.

You must have been a boy scout.  BE PREPARED.  Best of luck to you Ben.  How's Hoss and Lil Joe?  LOL. Sorry couldn't resist.

   It is funny, I do have 3 boys, the youngest is a lefty.  But the oldest name is Joe, while the youngest the lefty is Sean, Dan the middle guy looks just like Hoss, heavyset, the other two are skinny.  The youngest is "Joe Cartwright" in SASS the Single Action Shooting Society while I am Ben Cartwright.

Oh by the way, my oldest is an Eagle Scout!

You are a sure enough die hard to cook out in that snow. Nice bird.

Ya I'm sure the hardware stores will be prepared with additional stock after this snowfall but they're going to run out. In wisconsin we haven't had much for snow here.

They are forecasting 8 to 12 inches here tonight in Kentucky, and while that is not anywhere near the onslaught you have faced, it will be crippling for this area.  I got to the store yesterday to buy supplies (beer

) .  We'll just hunker down by the fireplace or under the covers and ride it out.  Oh, I do have a slab of ribs in the freezer, and my smoker is in the garage.  I will survive and hope you and everyone in the northeast do the same. Spring cannot get here soon enough.  Here's to hoping your sump pumps can keep up.

know people in Tennessee and they have up to 6" and all bread is off the shelf! I'm like really? We don't even think that when they call for a foot here in WI. It's a different case I know but I am baffled people can't drive in snow down there.

 

[welshrarebit]

ohh man, that sounds like hell to my Texas born and raised butt


BTW, suppose to be 70 here today  :sausage:

It'll be 70 here as well! Of course that'll be our low... 80* and sunny all winter long!!!

Yeah that is the way it usually is here in Mass, but now people are so used to getting slammed that there is bread and milk left in the stores!

They are saying 3-6 Wednesday, that is a dusting really nothing at all. I hope that is how they stay from now on and then melt slow!

We ended up with between 16 and 20 inches from this storm.

I would love to put the smokers in the garage but my wifes antique firetruck is in there.

The back end of that fire truck looks like it could be modified into a smoker.  Do it when she's not looking.

Look at the pictures from the  original post, that was 3 weeks ago, now look at the snow, it just isn't stopping. I don't know if I will ever see my webers again!

The upright box is where all my supplies are. I haven't seen my pile of KBB in a month

2. That was a nice looking bird.
3. Take care of all that equipment, I would hate for you to have to sell it to me.
4. I know you are proud of your boys.
5. My son is an Eagle Scout also. (46 tears old)
