We have a couple of slots open here in the park I live in. Great place to winter or just visit for a month or two. Then you could help me work on my trailers too.

Whew! The wind is really picking up. I just got back in from photographing a structure fire and I must say, the storm is here. (I do a little freelance photography work for the Covington fire department). The temps are dropping like a rock, but what I wasn't expecting was the wind. Soup, you fairing ok tonight? I couldn't help but think of you bee bopping out to the trailer every couple of hours to see how she was weathering the storm. -20 degrees tonight with the windchill!! And even colder tomorrow night!! Crazy. Stay safe and warm everyone. Spring will be here before you know it... I think.

The good thing is the cold will make the alum stiffer which will help a little. I think we are going to try to change a doctors appointment as sub zero temps and 30 mile per hour winds don,t agree with a wheelchair on ice and snow. This Global warming is killing me. This is a winter like we had when I was a kid but they were a lot more fun then. Oh to be young and dumb again.

But we don't hate hate you soup, and someday you will be warm again. I know but seriously Bill, you and the Boss be VERY careful up there. You got it worse than I did. Ours was all freezing rain and ice instead of snow here. My Bosses' car was froze solid and she had to get another ride into work. After about an hour of heating with propane heater I got a back door open but chipped paint in a couple of places doing it. Cardboard in front of radiator, and now has been running for about an hour and half. Dried off all door seals, left doors slightly open and left running. I'll go out in a bit and shut it off around lunch!

Please be careful Bill. We don't need to get you the care giver hurt too.

Couldn't get hold of Dr Office today to move appointment will try again tomorrow. Just received notice all local schools will be closed tomorrow because of the National weather forecast of wind chills in excess of 40 below Zero. This global warming is killing me. But the good news is, the birds are fed, we are in where it is warm and dry, the electric is on, and the pantry is full of good food what more could a guy ask for. PTL

Well the Surgeon wants us to keep the appointment today the sun is out bright and right now the wind isn't blowing and it is clear up to -1 and the hourly forecast says it will be +2 by the time we leave. We are having a heat wave. The really good news is the wind has blown most of the snow off my yard. God is taking care of me. Now if I don't bust my tether regions on the ice life will be good. Sitting here looking out the window it is a beautiful day one would think it was warm and pleasant out there.

Well a couple of hours makes a difference earlier I called the Dr. office back and ask if they had their lot and sidewalks clear enough for a wheelchair and they said no could I bring her in Thursday, I smiled to myself and said YES that would be fine. It appears this cold snap is over the temp has climbed to 8 degrees here and supposed to get warmer all week with rain by the weekend. We can get rid of all this wonderful white stuff.

Glad everything worked out bigbill. Not worth getting out and chancing it. We are in a heat wave here: 10 degrees!
