Man, I thought it was cold by us. When I got in the truck this morning it was reading 14 degrees F. Even with the truck plugged in, it still didn't like starting. Yikes! It's supposed to be 55 dgrees on Wednesday tho.... To bad the track by us isn't open!

Hey Claude! The cold hasn't made it up to you yet. It was -9* F at work this morning (they say it was -20* to -30* with the wind) but my face couldn't tell. Just got home and it's up to 15* WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!

Hey Michael, How's everything going with you?

Bbrrrrrr... it was cold the last couple days... spent about 2 hours securing our Shelter for the motorhome sunday nite. The wind was hitting 50mph and the shelter was lifting about a 12" off the ground, with me making believe I could hold a 14' by 42' long shelter steady.... That's like tieing a rope to a jet plane at take-off.... thinking you can hold it back...

Doin' pretty good Brian, I hope everything is well with you. Sounds like it is pretty freakin' cold by you! And to think it's not even WINTER yet! Winter begins Dec. 22nd. Ugh. At least we have a few months to get some stuff squared away. Gotta keep positve!

Weather is like a yo yo here. I'm outside in a t shirt one week, and cranking up the woodstove the next.
