    On them snow days??? I can commiserate with you walking that mile each way. You had it easy tho, cooler walk in the snow. We had it up hill and mostly in 100 plus sunny weather.

    I'm about caught up with the wondering since last election. Pretty well decided on how it is going to be awhile.
    Long rows with lots of trash to handle.

    I’m pretty fed up with all types of weakness in this country…..but the weather weakness in the name of safety really gets me angry. I’m only 40. I can remember school didn’t close because we “might” get a storm. It took a lot for businesses to close. It’s still snowing here. The interstate is running normal speed and safe. Main roads are fine. UPS just delivered a package to neighbor. I’m going out tonight on a run. Toughen up America!!!!

    Ask anyone who has worked in the modern oilfield how ridiculous safety protocol is. Trying to prevent all the accidents that never happened. You cant engineer stupid out of people. They will still get hurt regardless. Injuries were few and far between the entire time I was out there. Even when we ran a little reckless. So what are they trying to prevent??

    The stupidfication of America was one of the few greatest accomplishments of my short time.

    OK. Rant over. Going to go drive around unnecessarily in this “dangerous weather”

    Poco Bueno was most likely the best cutting horse ever, interesting having a mix blood lines from a very large sized champion racehorse and a cutting horse.

    We're at Defcon 3. You won't need to be concerned about the weather much longer.

    Looks like the sun has softened up the snow, the wind stopped, the restaurant is closed, and it's time to fuel the truck and the driver and drag this sled east.

    Delivery changed to 1pm tomorrow. Eminently doable. I hope......
