I'm torn between ejoying and being bored....the cold doesn't help any!

 

Yeah watching the news on that jackknife just one more Amazon screwing it up for everyone. Hoping they clean it up soon or getting to Woodland will be a joy. Not good when Cap city freeway is just open one lane at the split.

 

I made it 5 years before I had to do something else. Was to young then.

 

Dumped about 18 inch of snow on us last night. Waiting on PA to lift the empty trailer ban so I can get at it.

 

So now that you have finally seen snow. Still think you want to see more of it?

LOL

 

Pa is gonna leave that ban up til springtime. They are famous for that
