....glad I'm not getting the 1/2 pig on Tuesday like I wanted!!!! LOL!!!
Wouldn't have to worry about refrigerating/icing him...
The old duramax has been grunting a bit the last couple days, but it has started fine without the block heater plugged in. Tomorrow may be different as temps are supposed to dip near zero overnight.I'm just hoping the work truck will run tomorrow. Put about 40 gallons of #1 diesel in it. Hopefully that works.
Now you've done it, I imagine folks will wonder why I'm pissing in the back yard tomorrowYour piss will freeze before it hits the ground in that weather if the wind is blowing 30 mph....ask me how I know......
In spades! The worst and most widespread storm damage I've ever had to work through were ice storms. The working conditions also suck, as icing on the cake, no pun intended. It's cold as all get out and every tree you climb is more or less a skating rink. Probably the only aspect of the job I don't miss.Calling for freezing rain here. Id take snow over that in a heartbeat.
The last ice storm I worked, Madison County, where I live, just to the south of Fayette County, where I worked was below the ice line.Glad no ice in the forecast....not so lucky farther south. I expect a lot of downed power lines where the ice line is at....
How about keeping all that crap over there with you I don't need it. They are saying snow here but who knows my luck it will be ice. I think we're forecast for 2-4" the last time I looked and Brian isn't that far east of me and it's ice for him. I'm just a few miles north of I-10Oh My!! Next Tuesday; high 31*F, low 13*F!!!! Coldest weather here in a VERY LONG TIME!! Had to cover my fig tree with a tarp and put a drop light in there. Also expecting 8-10" of snow! Not Louisiana snow either (frost)....the real stuff from up north!! People are freaking out around town!!
I was issued wool long underwear in Basic Training long, long ago....Just finished clearing a couple inches of snow in our 3F / feels like -14F weather. Multiple layers including military grade insulated underwear and I was toasty warm. The laughing sure makes taking the dogs out a longer process lol. They love it and want to stay out and play.
