Here is for the trailer guys among you (
Murphjd25
?):
About half of our 22h drive on Tue was below freezing temp. In the end, a few hours through snow (Utah -> WY „South Pass“).
Trailer held up fine, except the water filter:
Had a bit of water in the trailer yesterday until I found the exploded filter.

Dang. You’re in CO, correct? What part? Not sure how it wound up in TX…
UPS forked up my Busse LE Battle Saw somehow, managed to drop it so hard that the tip made it out the side of the box and got dented pretty good. Looks like I’ll be sending it back to the shop.It has been snowing on and off since Tuesday night (mostly on). I’ve lost track of how much snow we’ve gotten (a lot is melting as it continues to snow), but it’s probably in the ballpark of 20-22”!
I’m not going Pheasant hunting this weekend for the opener as planned now because there’s another round of snow and they closed the interstate out on the plains east of Denver last night. It’s been snowing all day (far worse out east today), we’ve gotten about 3-4” more so far today, and they’re saying 7-14” over night starting between 6-8pm. Fun.
I might have to get my sled off the trailer if this keeps up!

Expand as close as you can to your neighbors, you know, the ones who cut the trees down.
Then paint the side of the shop facing them in pepto bismal pink or something like that.
No just kidding, that wouldn’t be nice

I spent the better part of a weekend pointing my wiener at them and staring. Mildly surprised they haven’t left yet…

Maybe you were pointing and staring in an ambiguous way?
I mean, I've never lived in NC, I don't know the local nuances, but I have learned that miscommunication is a lot more common than people realize.

Words like nuance and subtlety are lost on me. (This is western NC, after all.)
Sledge hammers or go home.
Good Lord, man.

Just curious, are you one T or double T?

Two. But since no one ever remembers how to spell it, or cares, I don't bother noticing. (Nor care.)

I seem to have misplaced my Behemother… 
It should be in the house, somewhere…

All the carriers have to redirect when the weather is bad because the hubs eventually fill up with packages waiting for the others to clear. Better than the package being destroyed when the truck flips over and burns. Like in the movies.

True, but I think it was near his delivery location, so the redirect is kind of odd.All the carriers have to redirect when the weather is bad because the hubs eventually fill up with packages waiting for the others to clear.
