    I dunno, but why do I suspect he's getting back up into my neck of the woods? There's more snow forecast for MSP tomorrow. I'm really gonna need him to keep his weather ****ery south of here...

    Looks like he's gonna be in town on Friday, according to the Weather Channel. Another 1-3 inches of snow then. With partly cloudy skies and a high in the low 20's tomorrow.

    I still haven't built my annual igloo for this year. Keep the cross country trips coming.

    Headed to Portland. Looks like I'll be running into the snow as opposed bringing it with me.

    All depends on what's moving. I've carried lumber, equipment, building materials. This trip back I'm carrying fall off parts for a pipe laying machine.

    Fall Off parts? Those should be easy to unload at final, at least :D

    Yep. Pop off 4-6 chains and let the crane lift them off. Should take less than 15 minutes and then I'm going home for a few day. Think I'll run steel off a couple weeks, I'm getting a little road weary from these 2700+ mile runs, money is great doing it but I'm finding myself missing home a lot more than I used too. Besides, fishing season is rapidly approaching down South and I have a load of money tied up in a boat and tackle, might as well use it.

    Usually 9 or so. Weather can monkey with that like today. Snowing hard on 80 in Nebraska so I cut it short to let it sort out.
     
    Panhandle flash and Scooter Jones Thank this.
