    I had been looking at way too many maps when I posted that.

    Cartographic meaning map makers.

    Once in a while my mind shows a problem with either numbers or words And frankly it's amusing most of the time if not actually funny. However I have to convert from Sign Language in my mind which is way faster in thought process to written english which actually sometimes does not have the good fit in words and once in a while I'll make a boo boo when I try a word taken from Cartograpers or those who make maps. because I spent quite some time going over winter maps trying to decide if we have some kind of weather to worry about or nothing at all.

    Forecasters love to talk about whats coming, but usually they leave it to you to discover computer modeling or using maps to try and find the near future. And so it leads me to a fatal case of too many maps. Leading to Cartographers, and in Sign Language anything that is large, cumbersome, difficult to handle or otherwise a pain is reduced further. Carta. Maps. And move on with something else.

    Now if I can find a way to reduce my sometimes way too long, difficult and cumbersome postings to where most people can have it in a form of reading short and sweet it will be a good day all around. //self tease.

    I would much rather work on a truck in the rain than in an icy and snow covered lot and sub freezing temps....

    That will teach ya. 150 a hour sounds like a bargain compared to mosquitoes in a urine covered parking lot.
    Lol. Good job. Welcome to the world of impossible choices.

    That I like to hear what you all mean down that way when you do use that term.

    As a transplanted yankee Im not even supposed to understand it in any way. //he he.

    Then again if you used the word Yankee on the sea among Sailors, it means American. There are many Nations who sail the sea.
