I had another more faded one, but now I can't find it. A guy at work said it "made me stick out like a turd in a punchbowl," so I call this one turd II.

I have built houses when it was so cold the lettuce would be frozen on your sandwich in the car in a thermal lunchbag by lunch. It was 10 this morning on the way to work, I really do like working inside now _________________ crosman2250 xt crosman 1077 crosman modded 2240 benji 392 drozd bumble bee   Posted: Wed Dec 23, 2009 10:30 am oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA I used to work in heating and air. You want to talk extremes? Try working on a 50 ton self contained when the wind chill is next to 0 and you are on a mall roof. Now that's cold!! That was the only thing I didn't like about the job. You are either freezing your a$$ off or sweating like a pig. It did pay very well though. _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry??

"sigh" i miss my igloo lol the artillary hold for a pellet gun is easy when you cant feel your hands, the hard part is putting pellets in the gun _________________ Don't steal.

I think I now know why they are so popular in North America, you get some guy like Slavia who knocks one up from a few bit he finds in his cellar, he then goes out and blows all his snow into the next guys drive, it starts a chain reaction the next guy blows it into the next and so on. In a few years it will have gone full circle and Slavia will get it all back. So if you guys don’t want to spend each weekend blowing snow in your beanie hats then get Slavia to send me his blower and break the chain.

The real battle between good and evil is not with the neighbors, but rather with the city snowplow crews. This morning I came home after a 12-hour shift and spent another 2 hours digging out. As I'm standing there, the plow comes along and wings the street snow over the curb, over the grass, and right onto the sidewalk. So I have to go back and re-do the sidewalk, only now instead of light and fluffy the snow is dense and packed, and I've got to get it out before it freezes solid. The driver was grinning as he went by. I've often thought it would be fun to video all the neighbors as they blow snow in unison - maybe set it to Swan Lake. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Fri Dec 25, 2009 8:15 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND [quote="Slavia"] Quote: I've often thought it would be fun to video all the neighbors as they blow snow in unison - maybe set it to Swan Lake.
