I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

WOW! I can't believe y'all are still getting snow up there. Send some of that down here to cool off these 80+ degree days here. Had the t-tops off for a couple of weeks now, not to mention blooms on the tomaters, peaches and pear trees. I reckon not everybody can live in God's country, right Joel?

Seriously, I hope it warms up by May............

I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...

Yep, so I turn on the Tv this morning and see we tied a record last night......for the record low for yesterdays date. I so want to shoot "Phil"

So I spent the week in Iowa, the week started out in the 60's then Tuesday tornados came thru town (Carroll, West DesMoine) and Fri morning 4 inches of snow.

Of course when the sirens blew we headed right for the bar named "Blomers" lots of windows to see all the action

So yesterday I flew out of Omaha to Minnasnowta, then to Rochester NY

Norsky and fellow Minnasnowtaians....all your lakes are still frozen, Cheese heads you also looked pretty white and frozen, Lake Erie is open and NY did not look all to bad.

It's still to cold to attempt anything in the garage. right now it's in the 20's please "Kill Phill"
