lucky lucky,
5 inches of snow an -10 weather here pelted the southwest for the last 2 days, a normally hot climate goes into sheer terrior when unusual winter weather strikes.
massive rolling black outs for hours kept me out of the garage, and huddling around the fire while we waited. frozen pipes made me a mint in the neighborhood with all of the soldering work needed.
it seems like nuthing to a real back -easter... but to the desert folk... **** the mexicans were thinking the world was ending. it flat out sucked.
thats what most of my week has been like... and I tell you what, my arms are freaking sore from splitting wood!

well i did... LMAO..
and I had a nice ol welding trailer that had a bitchen generator on it. I sold it 2 weeks ago.
boy was I kicking my own ass.
LMAO... so no I didnt have a gene, but it didnt matter. couple of candles - a lantern and a cord of oak and cedar made the house purdy warm for no power or water.
I myself wasnt too concerned, I got my inital snow training in the nothern most part of hakido island in japan. 12' of snow rocked my world the first time I set foot in (especially for a desert rat) the packed white frozen annoyance. So I was rather prepaired for cold weather comfort.
I think the worst part of it all, was the lack of driving skills by my fellow retarded city dwellers. I got smashed into by an F150 in my jeep, lucky for me there was enough snow that I slid and just suffered a trashed spare tire mount. so I did alright compare to most, suffering a jacked spare tire - I dont think thats too bad!

yeah, before I light any fires, i gotta unstick the fluke in the fireplace. Since weve lived here, weve never lit a fire in this fireplace. I Hate snow, I liked it as a kid, until I had to start driving in it. Have you ever driven a 3500lb mercury on an inch of pure ice with bald tires in washington, It was a nightmare, and a real test of my driving skills. It was soo bad, people just abandoned thier cars on the side of the streets and on I-5. People were stranded for hours. It took me 2 1/2 hours to drive 7 miles to my house from school. I saw a 50 grand mercedes slide into a guardrail which to me was kinda ironic (dont ask plz).
A city bus slid down on of the hills in downtown tacoma and flipped over on its side with about 15 passengers. and I kept hearing horror stories about people in thier Buicks in the snow.
One guy I know ran out of gas, got stranded, and had to take a crap in a McDonalds bag LMFAO
And for the women, lucky there were sprite bottles handy LOL.
Were you in the Navy by and chance or the Air Force? i got a friend Stationed in Japan that you might know.
I can sympathize there bud. My hot water pipes froze to the shower and bath so I've been doing bird baths. I just fixed the hot line where it froze and will be taking a shower tonight.:biggrin: No comments from the peanut gallery please.
Here is pics of my drive to work today. The nice thing is the last pics are on the way home and most of the stuff is gone thank God.:biggrin: We did have some entertainment though. The corner in the pics was really slippery and we got to see a truck towing a back hoe almost turn it over when he tried to go around the corner to fast.
