broken water pipes, flooded houses, broken furnaces, I guess I could list much more --- Chopping wood, carrying kerosene on ice .. oh its a blast
I did, somehow manage, to keep any pipes from freezing without shutting down the system and draining the lines... It was close to that though.
Winter here is like some peoples summer. I still bitch and moan about it being cold at 15c though. (~60)
Spring is barely poking it's head out here. It was 50 f the other day. The longer days are making me happy though.
Seriously, its time you all went metric Daniel Fahrenheit was the founder of the Nazi party after all
The 8 feet of snow we received since Late January is melting fast as we bask in the 50 degree warmth Hotwater
relatively short distance moves are not unknown to me. more then 40 years of my 67 year life, were lived in placer county, in the northern and eastern half of california. and not all of them temporally contiguous either. the good part of the state that most people who have never been there don't think of california as. just as i'm sure most people think of oz as the null arbor.
I Was Having A Beautiful Quiet Evening Reflecting On How The Weather Is So Different Here Compared To Where I Previously Lived, When Along Came A Member That LOL'd At What I Had Posted, And To Put It Mildly I "SNAPPED". I Was Proud Of The Fact That I Have Never Used The "F" Word In The 8 Years I Have Been A Member Here, But For Some Reason That Day "I SAW RED", And NO I HAD NOT TOUCHED A DROP OF WINE, If People Were Offended By My Outburst Then I Most Sincerely Appologise.... Cheers Glen.
The OP was a placid meditation on seasonal change, which made it all the more amusing when it rapidly transformed into a hail of explitives.
first day of spring here brought some ankle deep snow also hip deep in the truck seat because i forgot to put the window all the way up
we're probably 3 weeks to a month away from the "everything smells like mud and dogshit" stage of spring
^That stage is worse here...although my house never smells like dog shit.....or shit of any kind....except people's shit.....
