Joe,

We have had so many rapid and radical temperature changes over the past two years that I can't ever get comfortable. It may be 75 one day and 35 the next. You are right about us all not being sick as I have worried about that but so far have really been fortunate that I only had one bad day with my nerves and sinuses. But there are a lot of people around here with bad colds. Even when the sun is out it doesn't seem to put any heat to the ground.

We are currently at 10 inches of snow and it is still falling.

I suppose that estimate of 15 inches of snow wasn't a joke.

Well folks, looks like not only will it be a white Christmas, but it will be a cold one as well.

Are any of you getting Warren's snow?

[Ron61]

No, but I just read in another thread where Wes ran his $300 Toyota Smart Key through his snow blower and was looking for it. Warren can't get his to run so he can't mess up.

Nope !

70 right now and around 72 tomorrow.

[Joe Wicked]

Yea Fred, but then the cold front tomorrow night.

[392cobra]

Oh Yeah. 73 today,tied old record.

I take any t-shirt type weather in the winter I can get.
I'll be putting on some miles tomorrow before it hits mid-late afternoon.

Then it warms back up again for Christmas Eve & Day.

[trularin]

I saw the news, NY is getting a bit, but maybe only 5 inches.

Man, it was an adventure clearing the snow.

Ya think Ron & Tru may have something to do with your snowblower problem ?

[Ron61]

He still has his snow shovel and it doesn't require gasoline to run. Also hard to run a $300 dollar Smart Key through a shovel.

Warren, pull the plug and let her sit for a while. with the chamber open, she will dry out and you can put a new plug in.

Then, just before you start her up, a shot of starting fluid would put you over the top.

I heard Sunday is going to be a good snow for New England. Warren, you might want to get that blower running ASAP.

Then again, you can just sleep through the winter and tell us about it in April or May.

The snow is deep, but not as bad as we have seen it in the past. I pulled a truck out of a ditch last night. That was a challenge, it had slid into the ditch sideways.

Well, got to get to work.

[Ron61]

Really cold here this morning. In the low 20s and for only the 2nd time since I had this carport installed my car has ice about half way up the hood. And they have changed the forecast again. It is supposed to be raining now and there isn't a cloud in sight. Also now say rain tomorrow and Monday.

Tru,

This is Saturday. You should be having fun in the snow instead of working.

Got real cold last night. 24 out there now with a high of 39 today. I said last week it is amazing we all are not sick with this heat up, get cold, heat up, get cold, lather, rinse, repeat. Well now I am getting sick. Felt it last night on the way back home from a friends Christmas Party.

[Ron61]

Joe,

Take it easy and I hope that you can avoid getting sick. We went from 26 yesterday to 46 this morning and some light rain. But it is slowly starting to get cooler here now. And today is the official first day of Winter. This Global Warming is freezing me.

It was the first day of a school in the USA and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade.

The teacher said,

"Let's begin by reviewing some American History. Who said 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death'?"

She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up:

'Patrick Henry, 1775' he said.

'Very good!'

Who said 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?'

Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar.
'Abraham Lincoln, 1863' said Chandrasekhar.

The teacher snapped at the class, 'Class, you should be ashamed.
Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do.'

She heard a loud whisper: 'F*ck the Indians,'

'Who said that?' she demanded. Chandrasekhar put his hand up.

'General Custer, 1862.'

At that point, a student in the back said, 'I'm gonna puke.'

The teacher glares around and asks 'All right! Now, who said that?'

Again, Chandrasekhar says, 'George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.'

Now furious, another student yells, 'Oh yeah? Suck this!'

Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher , 'Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!'

Now with almost mob hysteria someone said 'You little ****. If you say anything else, I'll kill you.'

Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, 'Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him- 2004.'

The teacher fainted.

And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, 'Oh ****, we're screwed!'

And Chandrasekhar said quietly, "I think it was the American people, November 4, 2008."

Ron, you are getting into the relm of reality that you should leave to others.

[Ron61]

Tru,

Then you are really going to enjoy this one. I received it in an e-mail.

A young cowboy from Wyoming goes off to college, but half way through the semester, he has foolishly squandered all his money. He calls home."Dad," he says, "You won't believe what modern education is developing! They actually have a program here in Laramie that will teach our dog, ol' Blue how to talk!""That's amazing," his Dad says. "How do I get Ol' Blue in that program?""Just send him down here with $1,000" the young cowboy says. "I'll get him in the course."So, his father sends the dog and $1,000.About two-thirds through the semester, the money again runs out. The boy calls home."So how's Ol' Blue doing, son," his father asks."Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a storm," he says, "but you just won't believe this they've had such good results they have started to teach the animals how to read!""Read!" says his father, "No kidding! How do we get Blue in that program?""Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class."The money promptly arrives.But our hero has a problem. At the end of the year, his father will find out the dog can neither talk, nor read.So he shoots the dog.When he arrives home at the end of the year, his father is all excited."Where's Ol' Blue? I just can't wait to see him read something and talk!""Dad," the boy says, "I have some grim news. Yesterday morning, just before we left to drive home, Ol' Blue was in the living room, kicked back in the recliner, reading the Wall Street Journal, like he usually does.Then he turned to me and asked, 'So, is your daddy still messing' around with that little redhead who lives in town?"The father exclaimed, "I hope you shot that son of a ***** before he talks to your Mother!""I sure did, Dad!""That's my boy!"Obviously, the kid went on to be a successful lawyer.

By far, you have found a rich assortment of well thoughtout yarns.

[Joe Wicked]

LMAO Ron. I had to forward that to a guy from Wyoming here at work.

[Ron61]

Instead of Christmas Cards I get these type e-mails.

The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express Praise
for answered prayers. A lady stood and walked to the podium.

She said, "I have a Praise. Two months ago, my husband, Tom, had a terrible
Bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was
excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him."

You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they
imagined the pain that poor Tom must have experienced.

"Tom was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move
caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate
operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together the crushed
remnants of Tom's scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place."

Again, the men in the congregation were unnerved and squirmed
uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Tom.

"Now," she announced in a quavering voice, "thank the Lord, Tom is out of
the hospital and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum should recover
completely."

All the men sighed with relief. The pastor rose and tentatively asked if
anyone else had something to say.

A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium.

He said, "I'm Tom."

The entire congregation held its breath.

"I just want to tell my wife that the word is sternum
