    well, if'n we were to talk about "generations", then mice repopulate a lot in thier short life span...so yeah, maybe it is a "generational thing"...a mouse's generation......

    or nearly every storm, these days.

    Glad I grew up in Eastern North dakota where I learned about blizzards , cold weather and how to deal with both .
    Coldest I ever saw in Fargo was - 39 actual temp with windchill -84 in 1983 .
    It wasn't pleasant but definitely prepared me how to deal with extreme cold , storms and prepare and keep equipment running.
    Storm and cold coming to omaha tonight and all vehicles and snow removal has been run , serviced and ready .

    16716689240564767218984299363117.jpg Yup. I'm parked because I'm a big puss and I'm tired of dragging hoses through snow that's up to my balls. And I dont smoke. But tonight, I do.
