Looks like Santa has already been to your house Harry. :thumbup:. I use to read my son and daughter the story of the first Christmas on Christmas Eve before bedtime. They are grown now. Man, I miss that. Merry Christmas everyone.

Thanks for the kind words and the great picture GasMan1 : I see that you are in South Carolina so I can tell you that it Looks A Lot Like Christmas up here right now . Just like the scene around your little house. The Temp. is 18 F and we got about 10" of snow last Sunday and we never had any melt , and we are getting another 7 " to 12 " between now and this time tomorrow and out East will get much more. I will try to post a picture off of back porch tomorrow .
Added : The pile will get much bigger when our Kids and their Kids start bringing their gifts in for their gift exchanges , so add another 25 to 30 packages to add.

Yep !! Checked my GPS this morning when we got up . We are in Wisconsin.

Put this in my pocket this morning to go do battle with the elements
Let the Games begin :
2 Hours later after doing ours and our neighbors : Game is over

And I realize there are MANY people out there who are getting more snow than this . So it is now time for you to show how much. We are supposed to get more in a few hours.

Loved the photos Harry. :thumbup:

Gevo, I was just watching a few videos of some guys doing some amazing shots with a sling shot about a week ago. I almost ordered one from one of the guys I watched just to feel 7 yrs old again. :D

I like that sling-shot . Haven't had one for probably 62 years , but they were made from a tree branch Y and 2 strips of inner-tube.
Is that ROMEO who is still hanging around ??? Since you have some real ammo for it , you are probably a good shot with it ???
Moving snow with a blower is not really much work Gevo . If the snow is a Wet Snow , I will use the plow instead . The worst part about it for me is my blood is thin enough that my blood pressure usually is around 105 over 60 which indicates that it is fairly thin and I can't take the cold like I did just a few years ago. I have some excellent boots , gloves , & etc. , but I still get cold.

They are a lot of fun, Brett! You need to pick one up and let it take you home again :D

I can take a tick off a rhinoceros at 50 yards ;):eek::D

Well, the Romeo saga continues....A young lady, about 15 showed up on her bike and said she used to own him but her mom would not let him stay in the house and he ran away ( to my end of the street ). fast forward to a few days ago - she came by and was out front holding him. She told me she wanted him back. I told her if her mom said she could keep him then wonderful, if not then she was to bring him back before dark. Well dark came, I got sad but happy, and no Romeo. I went and did some errands and when I came home I gave a longing look down her end of the street. Mind you you can't see the other end from my driveway. I spot a small dot running in and out of the street lights - I know his run. He ran all the way home.

Ah, what a great story Gev.

I've been awaiting an update of the outcome of your kind gesture to Romeo a few pages back.

You reminded me of the time I saw a polystyrene box inside a discarded safe, on the side of the market street in Yanaka, an old temple village which is now a suburb of Tokyo.

Someone had graciously weatherproofed it for one of the local cats.



A couple of weeks later I stayed in the area again, and I saw it had also been stormproofed in preparation for an imminent typhoon.



Oh, I suppose I need a knife pic too, so here's a random pic from the 'bucket:



Nice slingshot rig too. Those steel balls look like they'd pack a punch. :thumbup:
I love plinking away of an afternoon with my Weihrauch HW97K springer .22 air rifle.

I love dogs and cats more than Some people. Is that wrong? :eek: Glad romeo came home Gevo. You sure can get attached to them. Chin, that is a pretty nice kitty condo.
Here's me and my buddy Luke.
