You don't have to shovel rain.

OK, but will have to turn NE first.

Will I see your sleigh?

Actually, when it comes to weather, I have become a professional candy
ass.

Anything below 60F and above 95F is not fit for human habitation
IMHO.<G>.

Nice part about living in SoCal:

Christmas day it's about 75F, open front door and look north to see
the mountains tops, about 50 miles away, colored white.

Have been told that the white stuff is snow.

I don't plan on getting close enough to find out.

Even if you don't, you can still Deck the Halls with Boston Charlie.

You forgot Festivus. For the rest of us. I have a few grievances to air.
Gather around the pole.

Did not, you just didn't pay attention. It's clearly covered with
"or whaever". Now I understand who the card was dedicated to

Yep. know exactly what you mean, got a cold spell here too, down to
47 today. Hehehehe If I was you I'd own a Flex Flier sled, and use it.
Come to think of it I may just make one, for the 2-3 days it could be
used her - if we get snow that is. Have a merry.

Sorry to hear that JT. We got down to 58 last night. We don't get any
days where a sled could be used.

Picture reminded me of crap and sewage.
I just finished cleaning up (mostly) from a sewer backup in the basement
(where the shop is). Two good things: Firstly, the 4 inch high barrier
around the floor drain that spouted contained alot of the backup.
Secondly, it was more than 1 year since the lasat time, <snip>

Time to first, raise the barrier, second to look for a house on a
hill - it does flow downhill. Otherwise, have a hppy.

I am considering raising the bar, and cutting down the oak that keeps
growing into the sewerline without saying thank you to my contributions to
its well-being.

Happy Holidays to all!

scribe:
Bubba - I wish y'all the same and hope you don't get too much more yard
art from your kinfolk.
I still think that the LUV can be turned into a HUMLUV.
Just needs some Bondo and a motor transplant and it's good to go.
Actually, when I'm not being a dumb smartass - I'd like to wish you a
Merry Christmas (assuming that there ain't no muslims, jews, seventh day
adventists, taoists, dis-churched congregationalists, pagans, wiccans,
nor any other anti-christmas folks that would be offended)
Other than the above - Noel.

Yard "art" - errrgh.

The LUV already has a crate 350 with a Lunati cam, and it's gonna
keep the primer and rust for awhile, it's gonna be a neat sleeper.
Progress has slowed on it just nowtho, too cold for the kid in an
uninsulated shop. That's in the works.

Way I figure if any of those people get offentded at a simplle
:"Merry Christmas", and can't just accept it in the spirit it's given,
then they're too tight-assed to dance.. But truth to say, all of thoe
types I've met would all take it in the spirit given. Merry to you and
yours too.

I's got a 'puter now, but still learning on it. Once I get the LUV
on th e road I'll ost a picture over in ABPW, or a link here.
