Sorry, blues, but if you're enjoying snow shoveling, I think you're nuts, too!! :shock:

My wife bought us a snow blower in 2010. Was never used much until this winter, but this year it's been worth every penny paid for it.
Since we only get a few days of snow a year, shovelling snow is a novelty. If I lived in snow country, I'd have a snow blower, too. :mrgreen:

This morning, I cleaned up after snow storm number.............. fifteen (!!) for the year. Next time it snows (it's only March, we may not be done yet), how about you come out here and help clean up, since you enjoy it so much??! :mrgreen:

Send her an airline ticket and the two of you could shovel together, she'd get along with Mrs. JStark really well....

If you want me to shovel your snow it will cost. :mrgreen:

Perhaps I can arrange a vacation for next winter. :mrgreen: I've never been to New Jersey.

Sounds a whole lot like a threat jstark47. You might want to be "Out of town" during that time frame... LOL

I survived another work week. My department is like a sinking ship...going down fast. We are so short staffed at the present....the manager asked what I thought would be a solution...I offered to go in to work Friday....manager didn't want to pay overtime. :roll: There are three people away in my department....from a staff of 8.

So...tomorrow as they struggle to get everything done...I will wake up late. Do a few errands and have a lazy day. :D

First motorcycle commute to work of the 2014 season. Salty as hell out there, but I stopped caring - I'll hose the bike off this weekend (used the V-strom, probably the one I care least how it looks).

March 10 is late, very late for first commute of the season. Usually I get this done before the end of February. Been a hard winter in Jersey.

I went to work late....It is getting harder and harder to go to work because it is so screwed up there. I finally called in and said I would be late. Only because my co-workers are in a bind. We are so short staffed...

Every time management tries something new...we muddle through.....wasting time and energy...they won't listen to us...the people that actually have to do the work...and things usually end up in a colossal disaster.
