Not much snow to deal with today, a broom would move it, cold though but not too window.

You guys all sound kinda dangerous, glad I never did that stuff, except that one 49 Hudson hood.

I refrain from sledding biking skating sawing walking and anything that could cause bodily harm. I put on steel toe boots and my special ed helmet to check the mail
Sleigh rides were a bit safer but much more mundane. Had a few each winter, horse drawn for a few years but the tractor got the duty for a 2 hour tour about the fields and back woods roads/trails. Stop over at the log line camp, put on a big fire and have at the spiked hot chocolate! Trip back out went faster....LOL
Temp on the rise, must be that big storm coming up the Eastern seaboard, gonna get Robin before it gets here. Wait n see what he gets but going to be ready for it.
Bout ready for this weekends storm, whatever it turns out to be. Should survive easily for several weeks if housebound.
Pose to be pix in here ? Maybe I am to fast for once in my life ! LMAO !!

Thanks guys....I'll post more as work progresses...
Can't wait to see more !! I just love to see hand made stuff , specially when they really know what there doing ! We have a pile of amish North of me , they sell everything up there . Some very fine work in all of it ! Farmer would go nuts to see a barn raising ! LOL We go up there now and then to go through the shops and just to eat . Restaurants up there serve real home made food by the amish , damn is it ever good ! Lots of big houses with no letric in them . Not long ago they allowed phones in , but they have to be in a tiny thing like a phone booth out away from the house ? LOL A lot of them go round building pole barns , they have a driver haul them round in a big van where ever they need to go . that is who ya call if you want something better than average built . Plenty round here other than them can do as good of work , but ya gotta pay them more .
I know a guy that hauls them around for a living . he says as the week goes by , the riper they get ! LMAO !! He says summer gets real nasty , but he can least put his window down . LOL No idea what they pay him , but he does well doing it . They find a driver they like , they stay very busy ! Guess its hard to get in there to do that , they don't much care for normal people . Can't member what they call us normals ? They get to talking dutch , no idea what they is saying . LOL Them drivers are called Yoder toaters . LOL That is a big name up there .
There is a gun shop me and Dad went to several times , oil lamps hanging on the walls for light . Hershburgers is the name of the place , lots of them with that name too ! Well stocked place ! Far as I know they don't pay taxes , so they keep all they get , but most of it goes to the church far as I know ? Like so many churches , who runs the church gets most of the money !
Maybe I will think of more bout them I know fer another time , my 2 typing fingers is tired ! LOL

Yeah John....getting that saw in there and set up was a challenge......but you can just see the "CP" in the back of the shop....that's where it lives....spent most of last week using it......worth every penny and all the work.....100% accurate in every direction...every time you set it up......a true joy and time saver to use....smooth...ungodly power.....never boggs or even changes tone....even cutting 5" thick old growth doug fir.....love it!!!!
